Um… No…
The layout of the unopened document thumbnails in Document Gallery is perfect. It’s exactly what I’m looking for.
My question refers to what happens when I actually look at the PDF files I have in the gallery.
They are newsletters – and they should display like a book Which means: To see the individual pages of the newsletter, you should not scroll from top to bottom, but from left to right. Typically displaying two pages at a time: Even page numbers on the left, odd numbers on the right.
Right now, if I have a photo on a page that spans two pages in the printed version of my newsletter, I see the right half of the picture below the left half, and not to the right of the left half.

Does that make it clear?

Thanks!

Hello Dan –

I just had a moment to try it – and indeed it now works. Thanks a lot for your help.

One question remains though: I was expecting the pages of my PDF files to be displayed side-by-side, like a book – and not one on top of each other. How can I accomplish that?

Thanks for your tremendous support!

I did see it now.

My wpmf categories have both a name and a slug. The name is “Tides”, the slug is “tides”. I can see that on the database.

I am using the “enhanced” version that is supposed to look at the slugs – but since I have a proper name that should not matter.

I have revised the page a little bit. Here is what I have for my page now:

Version 1:
[dg wpmf-category=Tides]

Version 2:
[dg wpmf-category=tides]

Version 1 with the name, version 2 with the slug.
Both versions give me no error w/ respect to availability of the taxonomy terms – but neither displays the two files that fall into these terms.

If you give me an e-mail address I can sned you logon credentials to my site.

Hello Dan,

Unfortunately, that is not the solution. On my site, I have three versions of the shortcode. Version three has the correct attributes, but it still does not display my files. I know that there are incorrect calls of document gallery in those sections of my page that are labeled version 1 and version 2, please disregard.

If the DG plugin would work correctly you should see two files for display at the bottom of the page, under the label Version 3.

The shortcode I am using for version 3 is [dg wpmf-category=Tides].

Thank you for your help.

Hello Dan –

I had the WP Media Folder people look into their end – and they changed something (not exactly sure what – still waiting for that): They said that they had their taxonomy registered “only for the back-end”.

Now the taxonomy is visible to Document Gallery – and I know I have two PDF files that fit the criteria I set – but the documents still don’t show up. I guess this now is something I need your help with (and: No, it had nothing to do with the “name or slug” problem we started out with).

I have added a little bit of “test code” to my site, printing some information at the top of it.
https://www.baylands.org/web/tides-archive
At the top, you will see two lines of text. You can see that the “wpmf-category” taxonomy now shows up, and at the end of line two, you can see that I have two objects (1784 and 1785) that use my criteria (taxonomy = ‘wpmf-category’, term = ‘tides’).
Further down on the page, you see version 1 – 3, me trying a few versions of the syntax for the DG shortcode. Version 3 has the correct syntax – and is not telling me anything about taxonomy or category not existing. Yet: My two documents still don’t show up ??

If you give me a private email address I can send you login information for my site – if you need it.

Thanks for your continued support!

I’ve put a ticket in with the coders of the WP Media Folder. I’ll keep you posted

Georg

Hello Dan –

I dug a little bit deeper into this – and found out that the taxonomy for WPMF does not show up when you are asking for it: if ( taxonomy_exists(‘wpmf-taxonomy’) )… comes back as “false”.

When I look on the database I can see that it exists on the table though… ???
I can see my entries in tables wp_term_taxonomy, wp_term_relationships and wp_terms.
The only particular thing I can see on that level is that in table “wp_terms”, the “wpmf-taxonomy” entries have a “term_group” value of “1”, whereas everything else has “0”.
My “terms” (= ‘folder’ names) are in the table both with a name and a slug – that’s why the temporary fix you mentioned did not help me.

Thanks for your continued support!

Georg

Hello Dan –

I saw that a new version of Document Gallery was published yesterday – but apparently it does not contain this fix.
Is this still on your radar screen, when do you expect this to be done?
(I try to gauge if I should put in the modification proposed in your link myself – or wait for your work on this to be completed).

Thanks a lot!

Georg

Thanks for the update – please keep me posted!

Georg

Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried this – and unfortunately the result is “The taxon value entered, “wpmf-category”, is not valid.”

Georg

Thanks a lot for this – it works as desired.

Awesome customer service – and, as soon as I have my budget and go beyond the prototype I’ll get the “pro” version!

Thank you – this worked. This is resolved now.

One more question I have now:
Is is possible to set a separate target page for a completed registration?
I want to redirect people who register for my site to be redirected to a specific page (where they will have to complete a membership form).

I can’t find anything in the configuration screens – but is that available by putting it into the code?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Georg

I made the following settings:

– In the menu item:
+ URL: #
+ Navigation Label: “Log in/Register”
+ CSS classes: “ajax-login”

– In your plug-in settings (Misc. tab):
+ Login Handle: “ajax-login”
+ Register Handle: “ajax-register”
+ Pre-load Forms = Yes

Everything is saved.

Ok – I put it back, and I upgraded the plugin to version 2.0.
Unfortunately, still the same thing: No popup coming up!\\
