I have a desktop app that generates small HTML apps (a zipped folder with a single HTML page, a bunch of scripts with WebGL stuff and a bunch of media files).
Now I would like to make this HTML app easy to deploy to wordpress through a plugin that would:
Let the user upload the zip file from his hard drive
Unzip the contents and store them somewhere
Create a page that displays the HTML app
I'm not looking for actual code yet, just to know that this is possible and that it doesn't violate some constraint. Of course, pointers to information on how to achieve this are welcome.
Thanks for any help
It's hard to give pointers since it's a really broad question, but as for your plugin requirements: all is possible via php and thus, all is possible in a WP plugin.
I would like to sell an eBook on my website. I'm using WordPress and the shop uses woo commerce, which I just switched over to.
The problem is, the eBook comes in a folder, which is not so simple to upload and sell. If I upload an .exe file, I get the message "Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons" and there are certain files in the eBook folder which generate the same error.
I can use WinRAR or similar to compress it and then upload it that way, but I can't assume my users will have the technical ability to know what to do with it once downloaded.
The alternatives I came up with:
I have an install (.exe) file which is easy to download and use - it simply extracts everything and leaves shortcuts.
Ideally I would like to upload the entire folder and have the user be able to download the whole thing at once but, even if I could upload it, it doesn't seem possible to select an entire folder but only individual files - I would be really grateful if someone knew of a way to do this!
I'm yet to find a workable solution so any help would be much appreciated.
Edit: Should have added this is for interactive eBooks, not a simple pdf, unfortunately.
You are hitting WordPress' internal restrictions on file / mime types for adding anything to their Media Library.
This plugin should allow you to add .exe as a valid mime type.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/
More details from the WordPress forum:
The underlying WordPress function called get_allowed_mime_types is used which is filterable and can be customized based on your needs via the WordPress provided filter named upload_mimes which is documented here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/upload_mimes
Thanks, WilltheWebMechanic. Your post helped me fix the issue without reverting to an older version of Woocommerce.
If anyone else is wary of the functions.php file like I am, you can use a plugin for it.
This is the one I used, and it seems nice and stable. Plus, it’s compatible with Woocommerce, which is why I chose it: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/
Once it’s installed, you can just add your file type to the ‘Mime’ section of the plugin.
I just added the file types I needed (epub and mobi). I hit save and my products are all working again.
Does somebody know if there is a plugin for WordPress that can integrate the Box.com cloud service into a page/post? I am looking for a way to show my files from Box.com directly on a page in a sort of file browser.
I know that there are some plugins around that can do it for Dropbox or Google Drive. But I don't want to switch, so it would be nice if I can use my Box.com account.
Has somebody found a similar plugin for Box.com?
Have you looked at leveraging Box Embed or the Box File Picker?
Either of these will give you a small code snippet to embed Box into your site.
I'm new to wordpress and I need to create a wordpress that allow the administrators to share information and files with users (word, excel, pdf, images, etc).
Each user will have a password and the files are only shared between the user and the administrator (there's no sharing between users).
Maybe that can be accomplished with a post or page targeted for every user. The user would have to be logged to access the page/post and should be able to add content and files. That way the files and info will be only shared between that user and the admin.
Is this a correct approach or there is a better way to do it?
Thanks

WordPress Download Manager helps you in managing, tracking and controlling your downloads in a more efficient way. You can set access levels, you can add/embed downloadable files anywhere in the post by copying and pasting the embed code.

I need to add a page on my wordpress site showing documents uploaded through the media library (ideally only specific files such as pdf, docx etc not images files). The idea is to have visitors directly download such files without logging in.
Any ideas on how to go about it ?
Thanks,
Mark
This is something that will be best implemented through a Wordpress plugin. Take a look at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/media-library-assistant/
At the end of the day, if you can't find a pre-existing plugin, your best option is to make one. Some links for plugin development are:
