Introduction
Hey everyone! Sam here from Barn 2 with an in-depth tutorial about our document Library Pro plugins settings and features in this video. I’ll be discussing how to create a document Library using documents and media files that are hosted on third-party sites across the web such as YouTube and Dropbox.
Getting Started
First and foremost, if you haven’t already done so, you can get yourself a copy of the plugin using the first link in the description then use the upload plug-in option in WordPress to install and activate the plugin.
Creating Linked Documents
Within the document Library Pro plugin, it’s possible to link to separate documents that are not hosted in your media library or on your own website. For example, you could have audio files or PDFs that are hosted on other websites, or YouTube videos. I’ll show you how to do this in a couple of different ways.
| Document Name | Type of Link | Link | Category |
| — | — | — | — |
| YouTube Video | Custom URL | Link to YouTube Video | Hosted Offsite |
Linking to YouTube Video Directly
Another popular option is to actually link to the YouTube video directly in the content section of the document. This allows the video to be viewable on your website and in the document Library table itself.
Linking to External Files
If you want to add something such as a spreadsheet from Google Sheets, for example, then you can link to it using the custom URL.
Importing Documents using CSV
You can use a CSV file to import a whole bunch of documents all at once, including links to documents that are hosted anywhere on the web.
Creating Media Lists
Document Library Pro can also be used to create a media list such as a YouTube playlist, a podcast archive, or an image gallery.
Tweaking the Table
In the settings page, you can change the order of the columns in the document table to make it more user-friendly. You can also enable a preview option to open different file types in a lightbox.
