I don’t see where I have the function being called multiple times.

Ok, so I was just looking around online and came across this: http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-file-centre/112012?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=Spadez8

This is exactly what I am looking for, just curious if there is something similar for S2, as I would love to just use this system. Thanks everyone!
