How to Create List Module?

List Module provides a smart way to display Google Drive files in a structured list format. It enables users to easily view, download, and edit documents directly within the WordPress interface.

Designed for quick access and improved usability, the List Module supports efficient content management and collaboration, making it an essential component for any Google Drive-integrated workflow.

Step-1: Choose List Module

Navigate to Google Drive > Module Builder.
Click on Add New Module.
Select the List Module.
Rename the module title if required.

Step-2: Configure Source Tab

Select your Google Drive files.
Your selected items will be highlighted on the right side.
Arrange the items by dragging them up or down.

Here is the detailed breakdown for each setting you will discover there:

Use Private Files: Turn ON to upload the files in the private folder linked to the user. Note: If enabled this module will be visible only to logged-in users.
- Create Private Folder: Turn ON to create and link a folder automatically to the user who has not linked any folder yet, while the user views the module.
  - Folder Name Template: Set a template for the folder name.
  - Parent Folder: Select the parent folder where the automatically created private folders will be created.

Use ACF field Files: Enable this option to use the ACF field files dynamically as the source for the module. Enter the ACF field name in the ACF Field Key input box to use the files from the ACF field.

Step-3: Configure Filter Tab

If you want to include/ exclude something, this step will be helpful for you. Below, we break down the functionality you can configure in the Filter tab:

Allowed Extensions: Enter comma (,) separated file extensions to allow, such as “jpg, png, gif”. Leave empty to show all extension files. When “Allow all” is enabled, exceptions will not be displayed.
