Drive Folder Embedder Plugin

A WordPress plugin that dynamically creates a table with file names and links for a shared Google Drive folder.

Usage

• All plugin functionality is accessed through shortcodes in the format “[DriveFolderEmbedder]”. Shortcode options are outlined below.
  • FolderID (required): The ID of the shared Google Drive folder from which to pull files.
    • To get your folder ID:
      • Share the folder in Google Drive with a public shared link (see the “Anyone with a link to the folder” section of https://support.google.com/drive/answer/7166529).
      • Your folder ID is part of the shared link created above above (link is in the format https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/[ID HERE]?usp=sharing).
  • Sort: How to sort the file table. All sorting is done based on file names.
    • Options: “ASC”, “ASC_Natural”, “DESC”, “DESC_Natural”
    • If “Sort” is not specified, the “DESC” option is used (default in Google Drive).
  • ShowHeader: Whether or not to show a table header specifying column names.
    • Options: “True” or “False”.
    • If “ShowHeaders” is not specified, defaults to “True”.
  • TableCSSClass: Allows for a CSS class name to be entered to define table style.
    • Can contain one or more class names separated by a space.
    • No class is set for the table if this value is not provided.
• Shortcode examples:
  • Basic table generation: [DriveFolderEmbedder FolderID="123456789"]
  • Table generation with “Sort”, “ShowHeader”, and “TableCSSClass” specified: [DriveFolderEmbedder FolderID="123456789" Sort="DESC_Natural" ShowHeader="False" TableCSSClass="some-class-name"]
