<p>This plugin is useful if you are using lots of posts in a variety of ways on your website, i.e. not just on your homepage and not just separated out by categories. For example, You may have a blog with lots of information on upcoming events and lots of announcements. You have a variety of people who come to your blog looking for different information, and it’s hard for them to filter through everything. You can have a “Cats” page on which you talk about your stance on cats, and use <code>[ahs_callposts]</code> to also call in a list of posts in the “cats” category, perhaps only the most recent 10, perhaps just titles, perhaps displaying just excerpts, perhaps displaying an image for each post. Then have a separate page for the “dogs” category. Etc!</p>

<p>EG-Attachments add a new shortcode attachements. This shortcode can be used with many options.<br />
But you don’t need to know all of these options, because the plugin is “TinyMCE integrated” : from the post editor, just click on the EG-Attachments button, and a window allows you to choose documents to display, title of the list, size of icons … Nothing to learn.</p>
<p>You can insert the <strong>shortcode</strong> by hand if you want, or use it in a template using the <strong>do_shortcode</strong> function.</p>
<p>An another way is to activate option <strong>auto shortcode</strong> that automaticaly adds the list of attachments, where you want in your posts or pages.</p>
<p>The list includes, for each attachments:</p>
<ul>
<li>Icon,</li>
<li>Title,</li>
<li>Description,</li>
<li>Caption,</li>
<li>Type,</li>
<li>Date,</li>
<li>Size.</li>
</ul>
<p>Options are</p>
<ul>
<li>Icon size,</li>
<li>Sort order,</li>
<li>Document type,</li>
<li>Document list,</li>
<li>Title of the list,</li>
<li>Label of each document,</li>
<li>Fields to display (caption, description, date, type, …),</li>
<li>Type of link to attachments: permalink, or direct link to the file,</li>
<li>Force “Save as” (rather than display document),</li>
</ul>
