Hello, I am looking for someone who can help me with a wordpress plugin or find a way to do this task. I want to automate the process of posting. What I do is create a post, then go back to my folder and copy the file links and paste it in the post. I want something that would be able to automatically create posts by folder name and list hyperlink files in the post. Manually doing this will take years So.... Lets say I have a main folder called songs. I have 2 folders inside songs. Folder1 = Audio and Folder2 = Video. Bot/Plugin will use songs as the main folder and Folder1 and Folder2 as a category name/selection. Now lets say that Audio has 3 folders ... Audio/My Songs... Audio/Your Songs .... Audio Publis Songs. My Songs will be the post title under Audio Category and inside post it should put Filename with a hyperlink of all the files inside that folder... Bot/Plugin should repeat the process of Post creation until there are no more folders available for Audio Category. It should repeat the process for Video as well and any other folders available as categories. I have about 10 folders that needs to act like category and hundreds of folders inside each category folder. So I thought maybe I'll post here and maybe someone could help me with it. If there is something already available which can do this, then please tell me. AND YEA I hope I made it clear enough to understand Any help is appreciated!! Thanks
Well its actually create posts using folders. Folder names should be post title and files in folders should be inside the created post in a list with hyperlink to the file path. How can you help me?
I could be wrong, but I don't see any way to automate this. There isn't a plug in that automatically knows to title a post the same as some random folder or list files with hyperlinks. The first part...converting content into an importable format for posting is easy. It's the other part, automatically creating a list and hyperlinks for files inside the post is not. There's 2 ways that I see: 1. Manually. Because you are making up rules and functions that don't exist normally. 2. Have a programmer create a database of your content and set the parameters to match the output that you desire. Either way, someone has to either do it manually or program something that does it (still manually inputting the information) But maybe someone else has done something like this and has a working solution. I've just never seen it.
i have install the word press and try to use permalinks and its not working as and when i click on permalinks and select custom structure then it stops working and and then i need to upload the wordpress .htaccess file again please help me
Thanks hmansfield for your input. I would still like other experts to comment on this. By the way, how much do you think someone would charge to make a program/plugin for this?
Hard to say. The bulk of the fee will probably be how many hours it takes to manually input all of the information.
That would be ALLOT of money considering the fact that I have over 5000 folders with above 50K files to list.
Thanks, I will give those a try. However, I would like to get an answer here before I jump on other website looking for answers.
You can create recursive function, scan the folders, and insert post to database using wp_insert_post.
