Embed Folders of a Virtual Host like download.uni-mainz.de into your WordPress Blog.
If your Shortcode is still visible on the published page, activate this plugin in the Dashboard → JGU Tools → Plugins
Warning: ⚠️ Be careful to edit the Shortcode in the Text mode only. Editing in the Visual mode may cause the shortcode to fail entirely due to HTML Tags in the Code.
Some plugins require administrative preparations (JGU Auth, JGU Downloadcenter). Follow the instructions in Dashboard → JGU Tools → Plugins → Activateand we will set up the plugin for you.
The Downloadcenter is usable in combination with a Folder on a Webserver. The standard is download.uni-mainz.de. We will create a folder there for your data.
Shortcode
[downloadcenter virtualhost="download.uni-mainz.de" pfad="Folder"]Example:
in the Virtual Host download.uni-mainz.de there is a folder example that you would like to show in your page:
[downloadcenter virtualhost="download.uni-mainz.de" pfad="example"Usage
Required Parameters:

Optional Parameters:
ordnernamenanzeigen:
The default is do show the folder name. You hide the folder name with the parameter: ordnernamenanzeigen="NEIN"

The Files are sorted alphabetically by default. You like to sort the folder from z to a? Add sortierung="absteigend" as a shortcode parameter.
Keep an eye to the content. Is it ok to publish all files in the folder?
When in doubt, we recommend using our Authentication methods at least for this page. JGU Auth: Visibility / Intranet settings

Get the files in the Downloadcenter
Connect the Folder of the Virtual Hosts as a drive, or use ftp. All changes are in effect immediately. There are some more information in german only, check this page in german for further information.
Example Downloadcenter
it is not possible to open the folder directly on the Webserver:
http://download.uni-mainz.de/beispiel/
gets an "access denied/Zugriff verweigert" (Automatic listing is by default set to "off")
But if you know the path, you can use it:
http://download.uni-mainz.de/beispiel/hallo.txt
The subfolder is accessible, if you have an account:
http://download.uni-mainz.de/beispiel/intern
Again, knowing the path lets you access files without further ado:
http://download.uni-mainz.de/beispiel/intern/hallo.txt
but much more convenient is the download-shortcode:
This is how the → downloadcenter-folder looks on your page
