## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Download List Block with Icons Provides a Gutenberg block for capturing a download
   list with file type specific icons.

## Installation

 1. Laden Sie «download-list-block-with-icons» in das Verzeichnis «/wp-content/plugins/»
    hoch.
 2. Aktivieren Sie das Plugin über das Menü «Plugins» in WordPress.
 3. Fügen Sie den Download Liste Block zu dem Beitrag oder der Seite hinzu, auf der
    Sie eine Download Liste anzeigen möchten. Wählen Sie die Datei(en) aus, die sie
    hier präsentieren möchten.

## FAQ

### Wo gebe ich die Beschreibung einer Datei ein?

Als Beschreibung wird die Beschreibung der Datei aus der Mediathek verwendet. Sie
können diese auf 2 Wegen bearbeiten:

 * Öffne Sie die Datei zur Bearbeitung in der Mediathek. Dort finden Sie das Feld«
   Beschreibung». Geben Sie hier die gewünschte Beschreibung ein.
 * Oder öffnen Sie das Formular zur Bearbeitung über den Stift an der Datei in dem
   von Ihnen erstellten Block.

Sie können auch einen benutzerdefinierten Titel und eine Beschreibung pro Datei 
hinzufügen, die nur vom Block dieses Plugins verwendet werden.

### Ist die Anzahl der Dateien begrenzt?

Nein, es gibt keine Limitierungen.

### Kann ich den Block in meinem Theme verwenden?

Der Block kann grundsätzlich in jedem Theme verwendet werden, welches Gutenberg-
Blöcke unterstützt. Ob dies bei Ihrem Theme der Fall ist, müssten Sie bei dem Entwickler
Ihres Themes erfragen.

### Kann ich meine eigenen Icons hinzufügen?

Ja, du kannst deine eigenen Iconsets im WordPress-Backend verwalten.

### Es wird kein Icon an einer Datei ausgegeben. Warum?

Die Datei wird wahrscheinlich einen Dateityp haben, der nicht dem WordPress-Standard
folgt und daher nicht in unserem Plugin enthalten ist. Sie haben 2 Möglichkeiten:

 * Verwende den Iconset-spezifischen Hook «downloadlist_*_icons», um die Liste der
   Icons hinzuzufügen. Erkundigen Sie sich vorher beim Entwickler des von ihnen 
   gewählten Iconsets, ob das von ihnen gewünschte Icon dort enthalten ist.
 * Verwende ggf. ein anderes Iconset, welches den Dateityp unterstützt.

### Why is no preview shown for my PDF files?

WordPress generates the preview of the first page of a PDF file during the upload.
This requires Imagick with Ghostscript on your hosting. PDF files uploaded before
have no preview: regenerate them e.g. with the plugin «Regenerate Thumbnails» or
with `wp media regenerate`. Files without preview are shown with their icon.

### Which files get a preview image?

Images, PDF files with generated preview and audio or video files with a cover image.
WordPress takes the cover from MP3 files during the upload; you can also set it 
as featured image when editing the file in the media library. All other files are
shown with their icon. The block shows a hint for each case.

### Can I show the files of a folder from my media folder plugin?

Yes, if the plugin saves its folders as taxonomy for the media library, as for example
Folderly, HappyFiles or Folders do. Choose the folder in the toolbar of the block
with «Choose a download list or folder». New files in this folder are shown automatically.
Plugins which save their folders in their own database tables, like FileBird or 
Real Media Library, are not supported yet. Developers can add other folder taxonomies
with the filter `downloadlist_folder_taxonomies`. You can disable the use of folders
under Settings > Download List Block with Icons > Settings.

### Can AI agents work with my download lists?

Yes, since WordPress 6.9 the plugin offers abilities for the Abilities API of WordPress.
An AI agent can e.g. find where a file is shown, list the download lists and folders
or check for missing preview images. In the mode «All» it can also assign files 
to download lists and add download lists to posts. The abilities always run with
the rights of the logged-in user. You can disable them or allow only reading abilities
under Settings > Download List Block with Icons > Settings, where you also find 
a check whether they could be used in your project.

### Are the preview images protected like my files?

No. The preview images are saved in the uploads directory and are public, even if
a plugin protects the files themselves. Do not enable the previews for confidential
documents.

### Unterstützt das Plugin auch Elementor oder andere PageBuilder?

Nein. Das Plugin ist ausschliesslich für den Gutenberg-Editor gedacht und wird nicht
auf andere PageBuilder erweitert.

It's very useful that it's easy to use and compatible with Gutenberg. I searched
everywhere and was starting to despair. So thank you to @threadi for this great 
work.I've suggested translations for the French version. I m waiting for their validation.
I really need a French version for next month 🙂

Perfect plugin for adding a download link list. I am already using it on a couple
of websites. Also, the developer goes above and beyond. Give it a try!

I was looking for a plugin that would allow me to show the size of the files I wanted
to share with the community as well as the extension and icons to show for each 
individual file. With this plugin I found everything. Good integration with Gutenberg.
This plugin replaces Gutenberg's insufficient native "file block" and extends its
capabilities. Please, increase the possibility to select file's icons

This Gutenberg block plugin makes it very easy to add a list of downloads anywhere
on the page. You can select the files from the media manager and choose whether 
to show the description, size, etc. And they can be bullets or numbered. My page
builder often conflicts with 3rd party blocks, but this one worked perfectly. It
looks very elegant, and it will be easy for my clients to use. Originally I had 
a conflict, but support fixed it immediately – very responsive development team!

This plugin is even better than the built-in single download link block since it
takes its link text from the media title instead of the media filename. Thank you,
Thomas!
