categories

  • Hi. Thanks for this plugin, I found it easy to install, setup and customize how it looks. So far it is just what I need. I would now like to make use of categories. I installed Media LIbrary Categories and set up several categories which I would like to use to filter results on a single page. Is this possible? I know I can set up separate pages for each category, but then if I add a doc to more than one category I would have to “attach” it to each category page. Is this correct or am I missing something? When I do this and use the “add media” function from the page, my categories don’t show. They only show if I go directly to the media library. Any guidance or advice is appreciated.

    Hi Megan,

    I’m glad you’re finding DG useful thus far! ??

    You can absolutely have multiple DGs per page, each pointing to a different category. It shouldn’t matter if a given document is in multiple categories — DG just checks whether, for the current gallery being rendered, the attachment is a member of the specified category.

    If the document in question is not attached to the page where the gallery is being included, you just need to be sure the gallery id attribute is set to -1 (eg: [dg id=-1 "category=Foo Bar"]).

    Does that make sense?

    I love this plugin! I want to use it to replace a table that I have to update monthly with a new newsletter. It’s looking quite nice, but I’m missing a small bit of functionality. Is there anyway to pull the caption from the media library to put below the document title? We try to have a one line summary for each issue. Using the description is overkill because we really like the multi-column layout.

    I’m not afraid of code, so if there’s a dg filter I should look at that would be great!

    I’m sorry, I meant to start a new post. Please ignore this comment.
