Need Multipal Galleries

Thanks for your question. I am not quite sure what you mean by “different galleries on different pages“, but I can give you some general guidelines.

You can use the [mla_gallery] shortcode to display a gallery containing items from your Media Library. The shortcode has a large number of parameters for selecting the items you want to display and the format and content of the display. If you don’t add any parameters to the shortcode you get a three-column display of the image items that are attached to the post or page in which you place the shortcode. For some simple examples, you might find this recent support topic helpful:

Simple Shortcodes

Adding the shortcode to a post or page is like adding any other content. You can read the WordPress Codex page on Shortcodes for some basic information. It is best to use the “Text” tab of the post/page editor for entering shortcodes and parameters. Don’t use the “Visual” tab, because it will try to “improve” what you enter in ways that corrupt the shortcode parameters.

I am marking this topic resolved, but you can update it if you have a more specific question. I will also respond to the other topics you have started in the MLA support forum. Thanks for you interest in the plugin.

Thanks David,

Sorry I was not being very clear in hindsight. What would have been a better question is…

I is there a list of the shorcode parameters and what they do? That would be most helpful.

Thank you for clarifying the question that motivated this topic.

You can find a lot of information about the [mla_gallery] and [mla_tag_cloud] shortcode parameters in the Documentation tab. From the WordPress admin Dashboard, click on “Settings”, then “Media Library Assistant”. When the MLA Settings screen is displayed, click the “Documentation” tab. There you will find a table of contents with links to each of the sections describing shortcode parameters, as well as a number of other MLA-related topics.

The [mla_gallery] shortcode is designed to be as “WordPress-like” as possible. It is based on the WordPress [gallery] shortcode and the WP_Query class for database access. You might find it helpful to read through the Codex pages for those two WordPress elements:

Gallery Shortcode

Class Reference/WP Query

That should get you the information you need to make good use of the MLA shortcodes. If you have problems or specific questions, start a new topic here and I will give you what help I can. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
