Description

Spoiler:
LIBRARY VIEWER FILE MANAGER ADD-ON has been released! Check it

With Library Viewer, you can display the containing files and the containing folders of a specific folder of your (FTP) server to your users in the front-end.

The significant difference from other similar plugins is that:
1. You can allow users to view that the files exist, but cannot open them if they are not logged in (or if they are not administrators, or authors etc).
2. You can allow users to view files in a custom viewer or redirect them through a RESTful web service of your choice(examples exists below).

DEMO

For this plugin (the free version), the specific folder is the folder
library of your httpdocs(yoursite.com/library).
If you want to display other folder (and its files) that isnt contained in yoursite.com/library , you need to use the path parameter of Library Viewer Pro.

This plugin adds the [library-viewer] shortcode in your WordPress site!
So the only thing that you must do to display the folders and files in the front-end is to add this shortcode in a post, page, widget etc.

The [library-viewer] shortcode get optional parameters that extend the functionality of plugin:

Screenshots

library folder must be located in the root of your FTP server
Not all files and folders are displaying in the front-end Library Viewer because of their special names (hidden-folder, hidden-file, .php etc.)
The string-value of the $text_at_beginning variable is displayed between the breadcrumb and the folders, the string-value of the $text_at_end variable is displayed below the folders & files.
With Library Viewer File Manager Add-On, you can give the ability to some of your users to manage the library from the front-end.

  2. Upload Plugin from your WP Dashboard ( Plugins>Add New>Upload Plugin ) the library-viewer.zip file.

FAQ

With Library Viewer Pro, you can! See this support topic: wordpress.org/support/topic/executable-pdf-file

Yes. Please read carefully the section Other Details of plugin.

You need to add the following code in the .htaccess file of the folder that you want to deny users execute php files

     deny from all

PLAIN PERMALINKS ARE NOT SUPPORTED. Please change your permalink from /wp-admin/options-permalink.php to something else.
The problem is with the get parameters. Get parameters are not fully supported at all. Maybe this is the reason that doesnt work efficiently

This is maybe because of some special characters that are not supported as names of folders and files such as %.
In this case, contact me via email or via support forum to find a solution!
In addition, if you use the plugin Remove Uppercase Ascents and a CSS code like .library-viewerfolder{text-transform: uppercase;} maybe this cause the problem. The solution in this case is to use instead this CSS code: .library-viewerfolder h3 a{text-transform: uppercase;}

You can test your own use cases in the DEMO

Yes. If you want to add text above the front-end folders or below the front-end files, you can create via FTP a file with name include.php in the FTP folder that you want texts to be shown in front-end.
HTML tags are allowed!
Your texts must be values of php variables ($text_at_beginning , $text_at_end respectively) as you can see below:

 
Also, you can use the hooks lv_folder_text_at_beginning and lv_folder_text_at_end respectively for this scope.

Library Viewer have been tested with TinyMCE (Classic Editor) , Gutenberg , WPBakery, Visual Composer, Elementor and works fine!
Generally can be used, everywhere that shortcodes are accepted

Yes. But only with plain CSS at the moment. So you can add your custom css from WP customizer (from Additional CSS)

You can do this via FTP/cPanel or you can buy the Library Viewer File Manager Add-on to manage the folder from the front-end.

From 1.1.2, the Library Viewer file viewer supports all mime types that wordpress supports.
These that included in the function: wp_get_mime_types()
If you want to add support for mime types that are not included, use the WP filter: lv_mime_types to include them.
Read more in HOOKS DOCUMENTATION

Yes, you need to use the Library Viewer file viewer (my_doc_viewer=library-viewer) and to add the following hook in your functions.php

  add_filter('lv_mime_types', function(){     return array();   });

Yes. I need new ideas to improve my plugin. Send it to me via email or via support forum
