WP-Filebase – File Download Manager for WordPress September 16th, 2009
WP-Filebase is a powerful download manager supporting file categories, thumbnails and more.
Uploaded files can be associated with a post or page so the download URL, thumbnail and other file information are appended automatically to the content.
Additionally there are options to limit traffic and download speed.
Some more features:
- Arrange files in categories and sub-categories
- Automatically creates thumbnails of images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP)
- Powerful template engine (variables, IF-Blocks)
- Associate files to posts and automatically attach them to the content
- Customisable file list widget
- Hotlinking protection
- Daily and monthly traffic limits
- Download speed limiter for registered users and anonymous
- Range download (allows user to pause downloads and continue them later)
- Works with permalink structure
- Download counter which ignores multiple downloads from the same client
- Many file properties like author, version, supported languages, platforms, license …

Thanks for the reply, fabi.. I messed around with it a bit, but decided I don’t really need that feature
I do have another question though… is there a way to tell the File-Browser to show the details div open by default?
thanks
(by the way, is there any documentation on the plugin somewhere? because I couldn’t find any)
I have one question.
I am the user of wp for many years but have never used file uploading function except image. Today, I want to upload some MS word and ebook files to my website. However, I found there is no button in the text editor (add new post) for this fuction. The default function for uploading is only for image, video and audio. No for text or other files.
So I search for plugin. I have installed your plugin; howeber, there is yet no button in the text editor to add the link to uploaded files.
What’s wrong with my site? Thanks for support.
Hi, I have a problem!
filebase is currupting my files when i click on the download link for example a pdf file i get some weird name e.g
QI&n56DK.pdf.part if i remove the appended extention .part it is seen as a pdf but it is unredable and adobe throws an error Currupted file!
have any idea what i’m doing wrong or is it a bug or some configuration i am not doing correctly it all looks pretty simple to set up I’m quite pleased with the ease of use it just the file curruption i have issues with.
Thanks Laura.
Hey Fabi, vielen Dank nochmal für die Hilfe! Ich wollte nochmal ganz gern einen Vorschlag machen für die nächste Version: wie sieht es mit Category Icons aus? lg, Martina.
I’ll check this editor button bug.
@itai: documentation is WIP
@laura garcia: I had the same issue when WP Download Manager was installed at the same time. Do you had any other file managers like WP Download Manager installed before?
Maybe there are still some rewrite rules from previous these plugins. Try to disable and re-enable permalinks.
Change the Download URL base setting and try enabling Disable download permalinks.
@Martina: kommt in der nächsten Version…
Hi Fabi. Thanks for this amazing plugin.
I do have a question… is there a way to show and download attached files not in a post, but in archive page attached to a post ( for example to call WP-Filebase from “archive” template) like default WP file attachment.?
Hi Yurr,
just add the
[filebase:attachments]tag before the <!–more–> tag in your post.The attachments will be listed in the archive list.
New Version 0.1.2.3:
* Added support for custom Category Icons
* Fixed `file_url` in the download JavaScript for proper tracking
* Fixed a thumbnail upload bug
@Martina: viel Spaß damit
Hi!
Thank you Fabi. Actually I meant a little other. I have 2-3 files attached to each post and I need to put just one link in the end of the post leading to other page with WP-Filebase attachment list of this post. Something like it done in default attachment WP template. Is there possibility to make so may be using templates?
Hey Fabi, great update to the plugin. Love the custom category icons, that the one thing I was missing in Filebase! another step towards the perfect download manager for wp.
just updated to 0.1.2.3
using wordpress 2.8.6
before update everything worked fine. after update filebase will not sync files updated through ftp. also ran a complete sync and it also stated that nothing changed. i have verified multiple times that the files are indeed where they need to be (they are there)
i have uploaded over 100 files through ftp and never had a problem syncing the filebase. this problem did not start until after the update.
please let me know if you have any ideas. thanks
Version 0.1.2.4:
* New option *Category drop down list* for the file browser
* Fixed sync bug
LowClassCC, syncing should work find now, was just a stupid typo
updated.. thanks man.. there wasn’t no need to rush though seeing i have been working on the custom category images.
absolutely the best plugin i have used! keep up the great work
thanks again
hey!! Vielen Dank!!
Funktioniert nun fast – zumindest beim Neuerstellen einer Kategorie.
beim Editieren einer Kategorie und hinzufügen des Icons kommt jedoch “UNable to move icon!” – und die ganz normalen Thumbs für die Files können irgendwie nur von mir, jedoch nicht von meiner Helferin (Windows Vista und XP, FIrefox und IE) hochgeladen werden (hat gleiche Rechte wie ich)…nur mit meinem Mac gehts einwandfrei. lg, Martina.
Hi fabi. Good updates!
a question: is there a way, that I’m missing, to let registered users upload their own files to certain categories? and if not, are you planning something like that?
thanks!
will it harm the script if i remove the javascript of
if(typeof pageTracker == ‘object’) {
pageTracker._trackPageview(file_url); // new google analytics tracker
} else if(typeof urchinTracker == ‘function’) {
urchinTracker(file_url); // old google analytics tracker
}
i still having user complain about cannot download… is it for members only option is buggy?
@Martina: stelle sicher, dass die Ordner der Kategorien beschreibar sind (CHMOD 777). Geht das normale Hochladen in diese Kategorien? Eingentlich sollten die Benutzerrechte dabei keine Rolle spielen. Wenn es mit deinem Account funktioniert, sollte es auch mit allen anderen, die Kategorieren erstellen/bearbeiten duerfen gehen.
@itai: yeah, this feature is already planned for future releases
@cyber: theres no problem removing the download javascript.
maybe another plugin is interfering the downloads. Do you have any cache plugins enabled? Have you tried to disable permalinks (in WP-Filebase settings)? If you still have problems please email me the download links and further info (a test login for your site would be helpful, if you want to create one).
tatsächlich!! hab die ganze Zeit den Ordner gesucht, wo die Bilder hochgeladen werden um das zu prüfen. Nun gehts!! Juhu, danke!
For the Category drop down list, is it possible to have the categories list in reverse order? We have our files categorized by year (its a PDF newsletter) and we would like the most recent first. Also, can we set it to default to the most recent year rather then none? I apologize if this is documented somewhere, I have not been able to find much documentation.
Hi.
Amazing plugin. But I can’t use file manager when I am not logged in. All the categories are made to be seen for everyone (no tick on “For members only”). When i am logged in the page where file manager should be loads fine. For not logged in users page shows default WordPress Not Found page. Am i doing something wrong or is it some kind of bug? I am using WordPress 2.8.6. and WP-Filebase 0.1.2.4
When I try to add a category I get a message stating “You do not have permission to do that.” I have admin rights in wordperfect and the upload directory is set to 755.
permanent links is buggy in wordpress?
i disable permanent links and all working well.
WIll the user hotlinking my files while disable the permanent links?
hope not…
Hey,
I upload about 75 folders via FTP and perform a sync. Works fine. I have the folders I’ve uploaded in a new folder (so it creates a category).
When I go to my download page, it shows the category, and it shows 75 files under the category.
When I click on the category, I get a blank, white page.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
It would be very nice if download links worked in RSS feed. Now I get only text like [filebase:file:file=254]. I think that would be a very important functionality improvement..
Also, is there a way I can hotlink protect multiple files at once without having to manually edit each file? Thanks!!
wadey… just use folder for all files…
select the folder and tick apply to all files….
