Simple text list of pdf files

    I would just like a list of titles of pdf’s that the client will upload and mark with the appropriate category. They will be adding files weekly. I have used the following code to do exactly this on a different site with no problem but on this site, the same code results in a grid of pdf icons. Not sure why it’s working on one site but not the other? I checked the settings and everything is identical.

    [mla_gallery post_parent=all post_mime_type=application/pdf link=file mla_target=”_blank” attachment_category=bulletin-2019 orderby=”date DESC”]

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your question and for the link to your example page; very helpful.

    My best guess as to why the two sites are different is that one site has ImageMagick and Ghostscript installed (the 3-column icons) and the other does not (list of titles).

    The easy way to get the list you want is to add a couple of parameters to your shortcode:

    [mla_gallery post_parent=all post_mime_type=application/pdf link=file mla_target="_blank" attachment_category=bulletin-2019 orderby="date DESC" columns=1 size=none]

    The size=none parameter will suppress the page-preview thumbnails and display a list of the item titles. The columns=1 parameter will ensure that only one item appears in each “row” of the gallery.

    I hope that gets you the results you seek. I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have problems or further questions regarding the above suggestions. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

    Perfect! Just need to style it a little and we’re good to go. Thank you David!
