[bw_pdf] – list attached PDF’s with/without icons

Use the [bw_pdf] shortcode to list PDF files which have been attached to your post/page/CPT. I’ve attached two .pdf files to this shortcode example. Below you can see the result of performing the upload and inserting them into the post. the-oik-limerick bw_pdf another oik plugin shortcode And here you can see the result of uploading but NOT inserting them into the post and using the [bw_pdf] shortcode instead.

The results are similar (spot the differences yourself) but the code for the shortcode is so much shorter…

[bw_pdf]
 
rather than

<div class="bw_attachment">
<p><a class="bw_attachment" id="link-1511" href="http://www.oik-plugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bw_pdf-another-oik-plugin-shortcode.pdf" title="bw_pdf another oik plugin shortcode">bw_pdf another oik plugin shortcode</a><span class="title">bw_pdf another oik plugin shortcode</span></p>
<div class="cleared"></div>
<div class="bw_attachment">
<p><a class="bw_attachment" id="link-1510" href="http://www.oik-plugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/the-oik-limerick.pdf" title="the-oik-limerick">the-oik-limerick</a><span class="title">the-oik-limerick</span></p>
<div class="cleared"></div>
</div>
 

Notes

If you don’t want the PDF icons you need to override the CSS using custom CSS

div.noicon a[href*='.pdf'] { background-image: none; padding-left: 3px; }
 
then add the class name to the shortcode. e.g.

[bw_pdf class="noicon" titles=n]
 
This should give the list without the PDF icon, nor the titles after the links

Notes:

  • The oik limerick was first published as “How to attach a .pdf file using Add media”
  • In this site we generally use custom CSS to turn off the display of titles which are produced by shortcodes such as [bw_pdf] and [bw_images].
    div.bw_attachment span.title {display: none;}
     
    You can achieve a similar result using the titles=n parameter.
