Hello again,

I have one more idea. I am hoping you can assist if possible.

All of my documents are organised into parent child subfolders e.g.

– Movies
— 2022
— 2023
— 2024

Could we add a “Subfolder” column to the document gallery? This would solve my problem and also eliminate the need for a custom field and save me from entering the subfolder information for each media file individually.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for getting back to me, I appreciate it. Below is my code. It is a modified version of the working code you supplied. However, I may not have updated it incorrectly:

// The hook used to add a new column
add_filter("catf_dg_columns", "catf_dg_add_column", 10, 1);

/**
 * Add a new column
 *
 * @param array $columns An array used to define label and key of column
 * @return array
 */
function catf_dg_add_column($columns)
{
    // Add label and key for new column here
    $columns[] = [
        "label" => __("Test Field", "catfolders-document-gallery"),
        "key" => "test_field",
    ];
    return $columns;
}

// The hook used to add content of column
add_filter("catf_dg_columns_html", "catf_dg_add_column_html", 10, 3);

/**
 * Add content of columns
 *
 * @param array $columns Label and key of column
 * @param array $file Info of file
 * @param array $attr Attributes of table
 * @return array
 */
function catf_dg_add_column_html($columns, $file, $attr)
{
    $id = get_the_ID();
    $test_field_value = get_field("test_field", $id);

    // Content of column
    if ("test_field" === $columns["key"]) { ?>
        <td>
            <div class=""><?php echo esc_html($test_field_value); ?></div>
        </td>
    <?php }
    return $columns;
}

What I am trying to do is add an extra column that contains the value of an Advanced Custom Field (named test_field in this case).

Adding custom fields to the document gallery would be an incredibly useful feature! I have a significant number of documents tagged with custom fields. Being able to display and sort by these values would greatly enhance this plugin!

Thanks again

Thank you this worked perfectly and shows the user name!

I’m hoping to extend this code to display the value of a custom field I’ve added to my media files using ACF. The field will contain a year value (2020, 2021, 2022, etc).

For this example I’ve created a custom field named test_field, and modified your code but the column remains empty. Could you please assist me?

// The hook used to add a new column
add_filter("catf_dg_columns", "catf_dg_add_column", 10, 1);

/**
 * Add a new column
 *
 * @param array $columns An array used to define label and key of column
 * @return array
 */
function catf_dg_add_column($columns)
{
    // Add label and key for new column here
    $columns[] = [
        "label" => __("Test Field", "catfolders-document-gallery"),
        "key" => "test_field",
    ];
    return $columns;
}

// The hook used to add content of column
add_filter("catf_dg_columns_html", "catf_dg_add_column_html", 10, 3);

/**
 * Add content of columns
 *
 * @param array $columns Label and key of column
 * @param array $file Info of file
 * @param array $attr Attributes of table
 * @return array
 */
function catf_dg_add_column_html($columns, $file, $attr)
{
    $id = get_the_ID();
    $test_field_value = get_field("test_field", $id);

    // Content of column
    if ("test_field" === $columns["key"]) { ?>
        <td>
            <div class=""><?php echo esc_html($test_field_value); ?></div>
        </td>
    <?php }
    return $columns;
}

Thank you!!
