File Manager

This was a plugin for WordPress initially developed for Premier Benefits Group, an insurance company from Fargo, ND. They approached through an acquaintance from New York that works as a graphic designer and was visiting AsunciĆ³n. So I started working in this project developing this plugin and also coding the theme the website was going to lay on.

I didn't add more images from the design of the website because it wasn't my work. I just had to code the elements inside of it.

Under the hood, the WordPress installation had to manage the users that could manage the backend and the clients that could access the files. Basically the plugin made able for the administrators of the backend to upload files to the client's account, so they could download them within their own customized customer's portal to sign them or just to have them. They were mostly contracts and documents in PDF. Also there were a categorization of the documents for easy access. And the possibility to send the same file to multiple users, in case of global notifications needed to be made.

By that time, the technology used to upload multiple files were possible using a workaround with a flash file and some JS on the client side. That also allowed async uploads and was a common practice then.

Also, by that time there were no actions to control extended capabilities on WordPress users, so those needed to be developed from scratch too. So they were.
