Attachments vs Smart Passworded Pages

Extensive usage instructions are available on GitHub Attachments allows you to simply append any number of items from your WordPress Media Library to Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types. Associate Media items with posts The idea behind Attachments is to give developers the ability to directly associate Media items with any post. This is accomplished by adding a meta box to post edit screens as determined by the developer. Once Media items have been associated with a post, you’re able to retrieve those Attachments and include them directly within your template files using any specific markup you wish. Integrate Attachments within your theme with fine grained control Attachments does not automatically integrate itself with your theme. Since the idea behind Attachments is to allow integration of Media within posts using developer-crafted, unique markup, it’s up to you to integrate with your theme. The most basic integration includes editing the appropriate template file and adding your call(s) to Attachments. For example, if you have set up Attachments to be used with your Posts entries, edit single.php to include the following within The Loop: exist() ) : ?> Attachments Total Attachments: total(); ?> get() ) : ?> ID: id(); ?> Type: type(); ?> Subtype: subtype(); ?> URL: url(); ?> Image: image( 'thumbnail' ); ?> Source: src( 'full' ); ?> Size: filesize(); ?> Title Field: field( 'title' ); ?> Caption Field: field( 'caption' ); ?> That snippet will request all of the existing Attachments defined for the current Post within The Loop, and retrieve each itemized property for that Attachment. Using the provided details you’re able to integrate the attached Media items in any way you please. There is a lot more information on Attachments’ GitHub page. Please contribute!

The Smart Passworded Pages plugin enhances WordPress by allowing the creation of central login pages that grant access to any number of passworded child pages. In this fashion you can give each client/member/organization a central place to enter a password and they will be taken to the page that has only their information. The password field is displayed as a field followed by a button with customizable text. The form is can be uniquely stylized with CSS. The child pages can in turn link to other pages protected with the same password and the password will not need to be re-entered. To add the password field to a parent page, simply enter the short code [smartpwpages] If you wish to assign a unique label to the submit button or give the form a unique ID for CSS identification, the attributes in the following example can be used: [smartpwpages label=\”Login\” ID=\”sppForm1\”] This plugin doesn’t add the ability to add passwords to pages. WordPress has that built in. On the right hand side of the page editing screen in WordPress, you can change the visibility to Password protected and enter in a password. If you are unfamiliar with using passwords in WordPress, you might want to read this page first: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Password_Protection This plugin does make the password handling smarter and enhances it so that you can enter one password on a parent page and gain access to all the children pages using that password.
