The Downloads Table
The [ordlo_downloads] shortcode renders an AJAX-powered table. Customers can search by title, filter by any taxonomy, sort columns, and paginate — all without the page reloading. Multiple instances on the same page each maintain their own state independently.
Pre-Filtering
Add taxonomy attributes to show only specific items on a given page. For example, [ordlo_downloads document_type="data-sheet"] shows only data sheets. Useful for audience-specific pages — a Trade portal showing only trade documents, a product range page showing only that range’s downloads. Combine multiple attributes in one shortcode.
Download Tracking
When tracking is enabled, every download is recorded. Review counts from the Downloads admin screen to see which files your customers use most.
Common Workflows
- B2B document library — create taxonomies for Document Type and Product Range, add datasheets and certificates, embed the full library on a trade portal page.
- Product-specific downloads — use pre-filter attributes to create a downloads page per product category, each showing only relevant downloads.
