Some questions and suggestions

    I really love your plugin. I tried out several other discography plugins, but yours works best – it’s simple and very effective. I have some questions/suggestions though, and hope you still work on it.

    For reference, here is how I used it on my page:
    https://ironkobra.de/discography/

    So now for questions/suggestions…

    1. Is there a way to show the year of release in this discography overview? Like
    (Name of release)
    (year of release)

    2. You mention “id” on your description page. how do I use it (e.g. if I want to make a list with all studio albums and then a different list with only live recordings)?

    3. If I click on the cover image, I see the preview of my text – that’s how it should work. However, there’s no “read more” or anything there. The […] should lead to the main article.

    4. The discography on the right seems to be right-aligned. Is there a way so I can align it to the left of the sidebar?

    5. Also, I only want to show the last 5 records. it would be cool if there was a link “Show all” below that links to the discography page that I created.

    6. Now let’s move to one of the discography pages, e.g.
    https://ironkobra.de/discography/dungeon-masters/
    I made a list with comment son all the songs, but as you can see, it is written over the cover image. Is it the fault of my theme? Also, can I customize where the cover image is or must it be on the top left?

    7. For some weird reason, the track listing seems off. I only notice it sometimes, so I don’t know if it’s a bug or my fault.

    8. It would be awesome if there was something like an automatic bandcamp import function, which automatically creates the tracklist with the correct time and a link to the bandcamp page. I don’t know if that’s possible, though.

    That’s it. I’ll give you a 5 star rating, though, as your plugin is still the best one around at the moment.

    Hello Antimatzist,

    I apologize for my late reply but his last time I was busy with another project.

    1. Excuse me, I do not know what you mean to me

    2. – id is just useful to force the display of an album track.
    – At present, there is no category management for albums and thus no way to filter based on category

    3. you must have something that changes the behavior of the function get_the_excerpt or excerpt_more

    4. – no it is not aligned right. the couvertur has a margin of 20px around it
    – in your case, you’ve got places this code in your css

    #sidi_dw-2 .sidi-album.list-style-none {
    margin: 20px 0;
}

    5. well noted

    6. it seems that you solved this problem!

    7. to be test

    8. everything is possible, but it’s too specific. the plugin should remain generic and very simple to use.

    Thank you for your feedback.
    FYI, I will publish soon a new version with a fix and improvement.

    regards

    1. I have no idea either what I meant here…

    6. I ddn’t solve it, but it doesn’t bug me as much. I think the design I have in mind is too specific and most people wouldn’t use it, so I will live with it for the moment.

    For the rest, thanks for your replies, I really like your plugin and I’m looking forward for the new version!

    6. Je pense que ce code donnera une présentation plus propre.
    – Adds br to lower the title below of album cover .
    – Conversely the first li strong as below

    <div class="sidi-descip"><p>Finally, we released our first album, Dungeon Masters, in 2012. We had some serious problems finding a label and a studio at first, but finally decided to record it at Toxomusic, known for its work on the Witching Hour and Cruel Force albums, and release it via Dying Victims Productions who always gave us 100% support.</p>
<br><br><br><br><h2>Dungeon Masters</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Intro</strong></li>
<p><strong></strong><em>The intro is heavily inspired by the intro of a demo version of the pc game Dungeon Master. Narrated by Volker \Iron lung\” Frerich, it sets the mood for the album that follows. Nice.</em><br>
<strong>
</strong></p><li><strong>Dungeon Master</strong></li><strong>
</strong><p><strong></strong><em>If you want, the title track of the album. A heavy speeder in the vein of 80’s German Speed Metal bands. It further explores the narrative that is set in the intro.</em><br>
