The easiest way to use the plugin is to put the shortcode [inline_upload] in the page. In this case, the plugin will use the default functionality. If you want to customize the plugin (define the upload path, use file filter, change title and button text) then you can use the following attributes: uploadid: This is the ID of every instance of the plugin inside the same page. Valid values are 1,2,3… Please use a different value for every instance. uploadtitle: The title of the plugin. Default value is “Upload a file”. selectbutton: The title of the select button. Default value is “Select File”. uploadbutton: The title of the upload button. Default value is “Upload File”. singlebutton: If this attribute is set to “true”, only Upload Button will be shown and file will be automatically uploaded when selected. Default value is “false”. uploadrole: This is the roles that are allowed to upload files. Default role is “administrator”. If you use other roles, like “editor”, then only users of this role and also of role “administrator” will be able to upload files. You can set multiple roles, separated by comma, e.g. “editor, author”. If you set uploadrole to “all” then all users, even guests, will be able to upload files. uploadpath: This is the path of the upload directory. The path must be relative to wp-content folder of your WordPress website. For instance, if your upload directory is “wp-content/uploads/myuploaddir”, then uploadpath must have the value “uploads/myuploaddir”. The default value is “uploads”, meaning that the files will be uploaded to wp-content/uploads dir. If you put the variable “%username%” inside the uploadpath string, then this variable will be replaced by the username of the user currently logged in. If you want to upload files outside wp-content folder, then put a double dot (..) at the beginning of your uploadpath value. createpath: If this attribute is set to “true”, the upload directory, defined by uploadpath, will be created in case it does not exist. Default value is “false”. uploadpatterns: This is the filter of the uploaded files. Default value is “.“, meaning that all files can be uploaded. Use this attribute to restrict the types of files that can be uploaded. For instance, in order to upload only pdf files put “*.pdf”. You can use more that one filters, separated by comma, for instance “*.pdf,*.doc”. maxsize: This is the maximum size in MBytes of the uploaded files. Use this attribute to restrict the upload of files larger that this value. Default value is “10”, meaning that you cannot upload files larger than 10MBytes. accessmethod: This attributes defines the method to create directories and upload files. Default value is “normal”. If it is set to “ftp”, then the plugin will attempt to create directories and upload files using ftp access. In order to do this, the attribute ftpinfo must also be filled with valid ftp access information. Use this attribute when you cannot upload files, access uploaded files or cannot copy or delete uploaded files because of SAFE MODE restrictions, or because the owner of the file is the domain administrator. ftpinfo: This attribute defines the ftp access information. It has the syntax username:password@domain. If username, password or domain contains the characters (:) or (@), then replace them with (:) and (@) in order to avoid misreading of the attribute. useftpdomain: This attribute is used when the ftp domain used to upload files is in different domain than WordPress installation.

Default value is “false”. dublicatespolicy: This attribute defines what to do when the upload file has the same name with another file inside target directory. If it is set to “overwrite” then the upload file will replace the existing file. If it is set to “reject” then the upload operation will be cancelled.

Default value is “overwrite”. uniquepattern: This attribute defines how to save the upload file when a file with the same name already exists inside the target directory. If it is set to “index” then the upload file will be saved with a numeric suffix, like (1), (2) etc. in order to keep the name of the uploaded file unique. If it is set to “datetimestamp”, then the suffix will be an encoded datetime of the upload operation. The plugin ensures that the name of the uploaded file will be unique, in order to avoid accidental replacement of existing files. Default value is “index”. filebaselink: This attribute defines if this plugin will be linked to wp-filebase plugin. Wp-filebase is another plugin with which you can upload files and then show them in your pages in a customizable way.

It is possible to use nested subfolders (a folder inside another folder). To do this place stars (*) before the name of the subfolder. The number of stars determines nesting level, e.g. “subfolder1, *nested1, *nested2, **nested3”. Please note that the first subfolder must be the name of the folder defined by attribute *uploadpath* (only the last part) without any stars, while all the next subfolders must have at least one star. The user has also the capability to use a different name (from the actual subfolder name) to be shown in the drop down list for every subfolder, by separating the actual and shown name using the slash (/) symbol, e.g. “subfolder1, *subfolder2/shownname2, *subfolder3/shownname3”. forceclassic: This attribute defines if the plugin will use the old classic functionality to upload files (using forms) or ajax functionality (supported in HTML5). Default value is “false”.

This option can be used to configure the dimensions of the individual objects of the plugin more easily. widths: This attribute can be used to define the width of every individual object of the plugin. Default value is “”. To define the width of an individual object, simply put the name of the object and the width, separated by the (:) character (e.g. “title:100px”). To define more than one objects separate them with comma (,). The name of every individual object is shown below. heights: This attribute can be used to define the height of every individual object of the plugin. Default value is “”.

Default value is “title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/subfolders/userdata/progressbar/message”. Every line is separated by a slash (/). To put more than one objects to the same line, separate them with a plus (+). The name of every object is shown below. userdata: This attribute defines if additional text information will be requested by the user. If set to “true”, then an additional textbox will appear, prompting the user to put text data. These data will be sent to email recipients, if email notification has been activated and %userdata% variable exists inside notifymessage attribute. Default value is “false”. userdatalabel: This attribute defines the labels of the userdata fields. Separate each field with slash “/”. If you want a field to be required, then preceed an asterisk () before the label. Example to create 2 fields, an optional Name and a required Email field: userdatalabel=”Name/Email (required)”.

This word is italic and this is bold.” notifyheaders=”Content-type: text/html”] Variables From version 1.2 variables are supported inside attributes. A variable is a string surrounded by percent characters, in the form %variable_name%. This variable is replaced by another string whenever the plugin is executed. For instance, if the variable %username% is used inside uploadpath attribute, then it will be replaced by the username of the user who is currently logged in every time a file is uploaded. By this way, every user can upload files to a separate folder, without any additional programming. For the time being, the following attributes are supported: %username%: Is replaced by the username of the current user. Can be used inside attributes uploadpath, notifysubject and notifymessage. %useremail%: Is replaced by the email of the current user. Can be used inside attributes notifyrecipients, notifysubject and notifymessage. %filename%: Is replaced by the filename (not including path information) of the uploaded file. Can be used inside attributes notifysubject, notifymessage, successmessage and redirectlink. %filepath%: Is replaced by the filepath (full path and filename) of the uploaded file.
