WordPress plugin for organizing downloadable files into groups and rendering them on the frontend with a shortcode.

Project Objectives

  1. Provide a simple admin workflow to create and manage document groups.
  2. Support bulk document onboarding through drag-and-drop and Media Library selection.
  3. Let admins rename, reorder, and remove file associations without deleting Media Library assets.
  4. Make group embedding straightforward via shortcode copy/paste.
  5. Output a clean, responsive document list for site visitors.

What It Does Today

  • Adds a Doc Manager admin menu.
  • Creates and manages unlimited document groups.
  • Uploads files directly in the group editor (drag-and-drop + browse).
  • Adds existing files from the WordPress Media Library.
  • Supports inline rename and drag-to-reorder.
  • Generates shortcode: [doc_group id=X].
  • Renders frontend document lists with icon, file size, and extension badge.

Technical Scope

  • Plugin bootstrap: document-manager.php
  • Admin UI templates:
    • admin/group-list.php
    • admin/group-edit.php
  • Admin assets:
    • assets/js/admin.js
    • assets/css/admin.css
  • Frontend styles:
    • assets/css/frontend.css

Data Model

On activation, the plugin creates:

  • {wp_prefix}docmgr_groups
  • {wp_prefix}docmgr_files

docmgr_files stores group-to-attachment relationships and sort order.
Files remain in the WordPress Media Library even when removed from a group.

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.0+
  • PHP 7.4+

Installation

  1. Copy this plugin directory into wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate Document Manager in the WordPress admin.
  3. Open Doc Manager to create a group and add files.

Usage

  1. Create or edit a group from Doc Manager.
  2. Upload files or add files from the Media Library.
  3. Copy the generated shortcode.
  4. Paste into a post/page:
[doc_group id=1]
