PDF Metadata Syntax

    Hi David I’m trying to suss out a combination of syntax that will give me a clickable list of tags per mla_gallery item (selecting only PDFs).

    I’ve added attachment tags for each of my media items, and I’m wondering what syntax will render a list of clickable tags (ie querying WP for matches that tag), and also the category attached to each media item.

    I tried
    exif:EXIF_ALL and exif:IPTC_ALL in a markup template but nothing shows up there (unless I botched the syntax)

    Is there a “showzall” syntax that would lay out the whole buffet, (perhaps annotating also the required syntax?) enabling mix’n’match for MLA Gallery template coding?

    The [mla_gallery] shortcode can give you a clickable list of the Media Library items that match one or more tags, but there’s no capability to generate a list of the tag, category or other taxonomy terms themselves. The closest match to your requirements is this support topic:

    template query for att. tags

    I’ll have to give this idea some thought…

    The “ALL_EXIF” and “ALL_IPTC” (not EXIF_ALL, IPTC_ALL) values are only available in the IPTC/EXIF mapping rules (Come to think of it, I’m going to add them to the [mla_gallery] shortcode in a future release).

    To use them, go to the Settings/Media Library Assistant tab and click the IPT/EXIF tab. Then scroll down to the “Add a new Custom Field and Mapping Rule” area and define a new rule to map this data into a custom field (type “ALL_EXIF” or “ALL_IPTC” into the EXIF value text box). Once you’ve mapped the data into a custom field, you can go to the “Custom Fields” tab and define a rule that makes the custom field available as a column in the Media/Assistant submenu table.

    However, that only works for images; metadata for PDF documents isn’t available (yet).

    Thanks David I’ll see what I can derive from that post.

    I have released version 1.50, which adds the ability to extract metadata from PDF documents.

    You can use the “pdf:ALL_PDF” pseudo variable to extract a summary of the metadata available for a given item, along the lines outlined above.

    I am leaving this item unresolved for now, and continuing to think about a capability to generate a list of the tag, category or other taxonomy terms attached to each media item.

    Please let me know if you have any problems with or further questions about this new feature. Thanks again for your interest and for your suggestion.

    I have released version 1.81, which includes a new “ids” parameter for the [mla_tag_cloud] shortcode. The new parameter lets you specify a list of one (or more) attachments and generates a cloud with only those terms assigned to the attachment(s).

    I am marking this issue resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions.

    Thanks for your interest in the plugin and especially for your patience in awaiting the item-specific term list enhancements.
