What's the secret code for displaying a list of files in my pages or posts?
To use, add the List Yo' Files shortcode ("listyofiles") enclosed in brackets to the text of your page or post and specify the folder name with the "folder" directive. For example: [listyofiles folder="wp-content/gallery/my-new-gallery"] The plugin will then generate a list of files with a link to each so that every file is downloadable. If you've enabled User Folders, non-admin users will have access to express shortcodes that allow them to display files with just a little typing. See the plugin Usage page for extensive instructions.
Is it possible to sort files, or restrict certain files from being displayed?
It sure is. To sort files, use the "sort" option. To only display certain file types, use the "filter" option. See the plugin Usage page for extensive instructions.
The file icon that I want to display isn't available. What can I do?
You can upload a 16x16 png file for the file type that you'd like to support. The name of the file needs to match the extension that you want to display. All letters should be lowercase. For example, if you want to provide an icon for mp3 files, you would need to upload a file called "mp3.png" to the List Yo' Files plugin's "icons" folder.
How do I style the file table elements?
Have a look at the 'lyf_table_styles.css' file in the 'css' folder. This file defines the styles that will be used when defining tables. You can edit that file to your specification and then check the "Use table stylesheet" checkbox in the Administer area.
If you want to share a single icon across many different file types, then, for now, you need to duplicate each png file for each extension that you want to support.
I have a very high upload limit, so why are my uploads failing?
Besides the php.ini setting for "upload_max_filesize", there is also the "max_execution_time" setting as well. If you happen to have a fairly slow connection and you are using a hosting plan like HostGator, BlueHost, etc., you may be out of luck. Typically, these hosting plans will only give you a short execution time so as to not degrade the performance of the shared server. For example, check this out from HostGator's support site: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/php-settings-that-cannot-be-changed
Why are my users getting the message "Failed to upload. Contact your admin about enabling your user folder." when uploading on the front end?
Log in as admin to your WordPress site and ensure that the "Enable User Folders" checkbox is checked. Without this option set, List Yo' Files doesn't know where to put the user's files.
How can I fix this error: Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter. in /home/....../wp-includes/compat.php on line 55
You are likely running version 4.x of PHP. Contact your hosting company to upgrade you to 5.x. For more information, go [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/strpos-functionstrpos-empty-delimiter-in-compatphp).
I would like to help localize List Yo' Files. How should I start?
Assuming you're familiar with localizing in WordPress (http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Translation_Tools), you simply need to go to the 'lang' folder of the plugin and use the .pot file to see the strings that need to be translated into your language.
