Lol nice timing! I litereally stumbled on that like a minute after posting this and just finished manually updating seconds before I refreshed this page. It worked!

Oops! There doesn’t seem to be a way to edit this. I accidentally deleted a line that wasn’t supposed to be deleted:

		//loop through all entries in the options table
		foreach($all_pdf_entries as $entry){
			if(in_array($entry['path'], $all_pdfs)){
				//if the file this entry references exists record it into $real_options
				$id = $entry['id'];
				$path = prepare_pdf_path($entry['path']);
				$display = $entry['display'];
				$real_options .= $id.'|*|'.$path.'|*|'.$display.'#@#';
			}
		}

The form and it’s process.php only runs on it’s own screen, it’s not meant to run on upload. I could (and now that you point it out, I probably should) split or copy part of the above function and make it it’s own function to run on upload because all it needs to do is update the “pdf-display-plugin-options” in the options, it doesn’t even need the “Saved_Data” or any other forms. I create (and delete) the Saved_Data file through the form because it was the easiest way I could find to change and update one specific part of the “pdf-display-plugin-options” at a time (making the PDF embed or link when you use the shortcode). The part of the plugin that handles Saved_Data and the form has it’s own page.

All it needs to do when a new PDF is uploaded is check to see if THAT pdf is recorded (which it wouldn’t be) and record it if it isn’t.

function build_options(){
	//Deal with the PDF files
	$all_pdfs = get_pdf_files();
	
	$options = get_option( 'pdf-display-plugin-options' );
	if($options == ''){$options = false; delete_option( 'pdf-display-plugin-options' );}
	if($options != false){
		$data_from_file = 'EMPTY';
		$saved_data_array = array();
		if(file_exists(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__)."Saved_Data")){
			$data_from_file = '';
			$data_file = fopen(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__)."Saved_Data", 'r');
			$data_from_file = file_get_contents(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__)."Saved_Data");
			fclose($data_file);
			unlink(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__)."Saved_Data");
		}
		if($data_from_file != 'EMPTY'){
			$saved_data_array = explode('||', $data_from_file);
		}
		$data_array = array();
		foreach($saved_data_array as $data){
			$parts = explode(':', $data);
			$data_array[str_replace('display-setting-','',$parts[0])] =  $parts[1];
		}
		//var_dump($data_array);
		
		//check validity of each entry
		$real_options = "";
		
		//create an array of pdf entries from the options table
		$all_pdf_entries = read_pdf_options_table_entry($options);
		//loop through all entries in the options table
		foreach($all_pdf_entries as $entry){
			if(in_array($entry['path'], $all_pdfs)){
				//if the file this entry references exists record it into $real_options
				$id = $entry['id'];
				$path = prepare_pdf_path($entry['path']);
				$display = $entry['display'];
				
				//if this entry's display setting was changed
				if($data_array[$id] != null){
					//get the new value
					$display = $data_array[$id];
				}
				$real_options = $real_options.$id.'|*|'.$path.'|*|'.$display.'#@#';
			}
		}
		//re-interpret data from this loop
		$all_pdf_entries = read_pdf_options_table_entry( $real_options );
		//gather all recorded paths
		$paths = gather_all_attr($all_pdf_entries, 'path');
		//check to make sure each pdf file has a corresponding entry
		foreach($all_pdfs as $file){
			if(in_array($file, $paths)){
				//if this file is already recorded
			}else{
				//If this file is not recorded, create an entry and add it to the master list
				//first get a valid ID number
				$id_records = gather_all_attr($all_pdf_entries, 'id');
				//count up until you find an ID number that isn't already taken
				$x = 0;
				while(in_array($x,$id_records)){
					$x++;
				}
				
				$id = $x;
				$path = prepare_pdf_path($file);
				$display = 'linked';
				$real_options = $real_options.$id.'|*|'.$path.'|*|'.$display.'#@#';
			}
		}
		
		update_option('pdf-display-plugin-options', $real_options);
	}else{
		echo $options;
		$option_value = '';
		$id = 0;
		foreach($all_pdfs as $pdf){
			//echo $pdf.'<br>';
			$id = $id+1;
			$display = 'linked';
			$path = prepare_pdf_path($pdf);
			$option_value = $option_value.$id.'|*|'.$path.'|*|'.$display.'#@#';
		}
		add_option( 'pdf-display-plugin-options', $option_value );
	}
}

Though if there’s just a way to make it refresh after the file uploads that might work fine too. I just need to add new PDF files to the options when they’re uploaded or delete them from the options when the file is deleted.

Any ideas?

In the browser? We tried that but it didn’t work 🙁

Nevermind, I figured it out.

Sadly, the last time I tried to reach out to them with a problem like this they literally told me I’d have to figure it out myself so I kind of don’t trust their forum… plus we’d have to pay to use that, kinda not worth the money just to have someone literally say “I don’t know, you’d have to figure that out yourself.” It’s why we stopped paying.

Also, if there’s a way to do this in css/code that would be good too.
