DMC Media

Create media players with optional download link by category or singly.

I am a member and webmaster for a Barbershop Chorus and we rely heavily on learning
tracks to learn and review songs. On the website, I created four pages, Bari, Bass, Lead, and Tenor
and with one shortcode, display all the learning tracks for that part. It also works with mp4 videos.

Features include:
* Upgrade Safe customization

Customization

This plugin is built almost completely with PHP Objects. All of the obhects except dmcmedia.php can be inherited for customiztion.
There are some rules for this:

• The customized object must be in the custom directory.
• The filename must be _custom.php, i.e. gd_admin_custom.php
• The class must be named _custom and inherit , i.e class gd_core_custom inherits gd_core {.
• It should include a constructor that calls the parent constructor:
  function __construct() {
  parent::__construct();
  }

1. Upload Plugin Directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
