Do Action and Hooks for Uploads

Hi Lester.
Thank you for your promptly response. Yes, I am referring to this plugin. I understand there is another plugin with similar name and may lead to some confusion. I am using your plugin in some of my websites.

To be more specific about what I need. I’d like to be able to run certain actions when there is a new upload. Ideally, this could be done via an add_action in your plugin passing information about the uploaded file that is ready for use in WP. For example, once an upload is performed, I’d like to send a request to another 3rd party app to run a conversion process (if it is a .ppt file then I will generate the slide thumbnails), if it is a video then I will convert it or publish to Youtube, etc., once it is finish I’d publish a new page with the download, a thumbnail and a few additional info.

Looking forward for your comments.

Sounds great. I will try to elaborate a little bit as soon as I could check further to the source code, but after a quick check I am under the impression that it could be added to download-add.php below the $addfile variable where you insert the row in DB.

All these fields you insert into the DB can be helpful to have in in an action (maybe wrapped in an array) so after calling do_action(‘wpdm_download_added’, ‘…’) we can get the file info (file size, where physically it is saved or if it is a remote file, date, etc.).
