Adding photos from a given category or tag

Hi,

In the WordPress Dynamic Data section of the Add Photos dialog, you can choose specific category(s) and/or tag(s) to pull from: https://i.imgur.com/yFlwTWr.jpg

Sorry I wan’t clear enough. I don’t want to add featured images of posts that belong to a given cat / tag. I want to add images that are directly belonging to a cat / tag.

Hi,

Sorry; do I understand that you have a custom post type? Can you please send a screenshot of the content that you’re referring to?

Sincerely,

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification. While filtering by tag/category isn’t currently supported directly, you could modify the getLibraryPhotoInfo method (around line 1578) in easyrotator-for-wordpress/engine/main.php to include a tag__in or category__in property in the $args variable. For example:


$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' => 'image', // only images!
'orderby' => 'date', //'menu_order',
'order' => 'DESC', //'ASC',
'post_status' => 'any',
);


Becomes:


$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' => 'image', // only images!
'orderby' => 'date', //'menu_order',
'order' => 'DESC', //'ASC',
'post_status' => 'any',
'tag__in' => array(123),
);


The array should contain one or more tag ids.

Thanks Drew. I’ll consider this, but it’s not really my cup of tea ; what I actually liked in Easyrotator is its GUI… ??

Do you plan on adding it in the GUI sooner or later ?

Hi,

It’s not currently on the roadmap, but I’ve added it to the feature suggestions!

OK, thank you. I’m marking tis topic as (kinda) resolved. ??
