Let people see what they have already downloaded Pro

Put this on any page to show the person signed in what they have already downloaded:

[filedeck_my_downloads]

It pairs naturally with [filedeck_my_documents] on a portal page: one answers "what is available to me", the other answers "what have I already got".

Attributes

• limit — how many documents to list. Default 20.
• empty_message — shown when they have no downloads yet.

[filedeck_my_downloads limit="50" empty_message="No downloads yet — browse the library to get started."]

What it shows

Each document the person has downloaded, newest first, still linked so they can get it again. A document downloaded several times appears once, dated at the most recent download.

Only actual downloads are listed — not views, not searches. This is a receipt of what someone took, not a record of what they looked at.

What it does not show

Documents they can no longer access. If access is revoked after the fact, the document drops out of their history. Otherwise the page would keep naming a file they are no longer entitled to see, which leaks the title at minimum.

Anything, if activity logging is off. The history is read from the activity log. With logging switched off the shortcode says so explicitly rather than rendering an empty list — "you have no downloads" and "we are not recording" are different statements, and showing the wrong one would be a lie.

Turn logging on under Documents → Settings → Downloads → Log activity.

Privacy

The history is per-person and reads only that person’s own rows. It is covered by the same GDPR export and erase tooling as the rest of the activity log.
