Hi David,
Thanks for the full explanation.

You say

The clickable link is specified as a shortcode parameter.

I’m really interested in updating the media library metadata using the CSV file option.
Is it possible to input this link into the csv file with the post_title, also how would I add a description field for an image into the csv file? What would be the templates?

Thanks for your help

Thanks very much for taking the time to explain all this, much appreciated.
So I now have the following:

CSV File:
=========
Title,ID,post_type
Adiantum capillus,39507,attachment
Adiantum capillus,39508,attachment

CSV MLA Template:
=================
template:([+csv:post_title+])
template:([+csv:ID+])
template:([+csv:post_type+])

page_url substitution parameter:
================================
mla_link_href='{+page_url+}'

clickable link to the item’s parent:
====================================
https://florapalaestina-ethnobotany.org/?plant=Adiantum-capillus-veneris/

I have a total of around 500 images, the csv file will have a row for each image.
Where do I put the clickable link to each image and how do I apply all this to the images?

Thanks

Hi David,
Does this look like a correct template for the csv file:

template:([+csv:base_file,ID,post_title,post_parent,guid+])

I want to update image title and add a redirect to post_parent

Thanks

Hi David, Thanks for your reply.
I’ve managed to upload the csv file as you suggested.
My problem now is how to apply the changes from the csv file to the image meta data.
This is the csv test file I uploaded

Base Name	         File Name      Title	                ID       post_type
2021/03/Adia-capi-1.jpg	Adia-capi-1.jpg	Adiantum capillus	39507	attachment
2021/03/Adia-capi-2.jpg	Adia-capi-2.jpg	Adiantum capillus	39508	attachment

Please could you tell me how to apply this to the image and if there’s errors how do I know what they are?
Thanks

Once I’ve uploaded the csv file how do I implement the updates specified in the file.
The documentation describes the csv file in great detail, but doesn’t say how to use it to update image metadata – or am I missing it?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi David,
I’ve uploaded a test csv file to Media Library, now how do I update the media library from the details in the csv file?

Thanks

Simple! MLA > settings > Uploads tab
tick “always use MLA MIME type”
Save Changes
Now you can upload a csv file to the Media Library.

Hope this helps somebody

Hi,
I would like to update the Title and parentID (redirect url) for images in the Media Library from a CSV file – I’m using MLA CSV Data Source Example plugin. Please could you tell me the names of the fields I need to use in the header record.
Thanks

Hi Thanks,
Once I understood that I have two different things an icon and a tooltip, all’s well – used Font Awesome for the icon and wordpress tooltips for tooltip on hover

Hi Niall, Thanks for your detailed reply. After fumbling around for a few days I ended up using wp image zoom – free version. I’m using it for a gallery for my wife’s paintings so The magnifying glass option is enough for this.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Found this Javascript that alerts if none of the elements in the class require-one have been selected

jQuery(function($){
  $('#mySubmit').click(function() {
  var $nonempty = $('.require_one').filter(function() {
    return this.value != ''
  });

  if ($nonempty.length == 0) {
    alert('Select from at least 1 of the Medicinal Uses \n Complaints Treated \n System / State Effected \n Herbal Action');
    return false;
  };
  if ($nonempty.length > 0) {    
   $('#myFormID').submit(); 
};
});
})

Better still would be that the submit button was disabled until a selection was made.
How can I do that?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for this, but I’m not clear how/where to insert this shortcode

[xyz-ips snippet=”tax-search-complaint-use-system-actions-medicinal”]

to run the search function on button click

Thanks for your help

Thanks for this Shea, please could you give me an example code snippet for a button click.
Much appreciated.

Thanks very much for this advice. I’ve changed it as you suggested – and it works fine.
But my question is why container-fluid class doesn’t give me the full screen area upto the left & right edge – without having to add extra css?
