Alright, I’ve tried and neither the text widget nor the new HTML one can run shortcodes. I would say that’s because widgets aren’t supposed to run shortcodes. Isn’t that why you created your special widget in the first place?

So given that widgets aren’t meant to run shortcodes, we can’t directly blame the aforementioned plugins for not supporting widgets. I just wish your widget ran shortcodes as if they were in a post/page, the way they were meant to run.

That sounds great! But if my template is just:
<a href="[+link_url+]">[+query:dynamic_title+]</a>
is there a way to fallback on [+title]+ if [+query:dynamic_title+] isn’t used?
That’s why I initially wanted a way to alter [+title+] itself. That way it’s only optional to alter it.

My template’s Item looks like:

<a href="[+link_url+]">[+title+]</a>

And I want to use the following in one place:

[mla_gallery]
...
dynamic_title="click to download X"
[/mla_gallery]

And this in another:

[mla_gallery]
...
dynamic_title="click to see Y"
[/mla_gallery]

I see your point, but the option idea is indeed important. Keep the default as you wish but let advanced users decide for themselves.

The problem is the “Turns out” part in my OP.
I want to enable feeds for any or all taxonomy, which is not something the other plugin does at all. It’s meant for manual playlists, not for proper feeds.

I’ve taken a look in MLA’s example plugins, but found nothing about feed/RSS/XML/lists.

P.S.
Have you considered putting a wishlist of all requests and let people vote and/or express opinions?

Thanks! I suggest adding this to the FAQ.

Maybe as another feature then? Live up to the plugin’s name. ??

Any chance to also add literal feeds? ??

Alright, my request is for actual feeds. That is, announce to subscribers every time a new media item is uploaded to the media library.
Turns out the aforementioned plugin does something else – it creates manual playlists, not literal feeds.

Its playlists are technically feeds (RSS, etc.) though, so it may still help out.

Thanks, but the class turned out as:

class=”aria-describedby=”mla_gallery-1-146″

Note there’s an uneven amount of quotes.
Also, Should there be an equal sign in there?
Last but not least, why use a different attachment_ID for each link’s class?

P.S.
Since we’re dealing with size=icon_only, it might be more appropriate to use alt=”[+extension+]”.

I read the manual and it states:

icon_only Display an appropriate 60×60 (or 64×64) pixel thumbnail for ALL items, image and non-image

This means you’re completely right that it works as intended!
So my issue is that “60×60″ (or 64×64)” treats icons as if they were thumbnails. But I expect them to be small enough to be inline, just like in https://imgur.com/a/JlBta

Could you maybe add something like size=icon_only_inline? I think it’ll be very quite useful for documents.

As for doing it in a template, it seems to be part of [+link+] and hardcoded to use class=”attachment-64×64 size-64×64″.

Tested it myself. Turns out it offers an upload window, but it’s just a shortcut to the gallery. This means the plugin and the gallery work in parallel and the plugin doesn’t even attempt to serve as a file manager.
As an example, if you delete a publication it doesn’t delete the matching file, and vice versa.
It’s good for a small file list, where I guess every member uploads his/her own publications, not for dozens or hundreds of files.

The default can be changed on the Settings/General tab. Clicking on a column header sorts the table on that column. You could use the Screen Options checkbox to make Menu Order visible and click to sort on it.

Yes, but when I change an item’s menu_order, I expect the sorting to reflect that. But it doesn’t. I have to re-sort by menu_order to see the changes.

Your point about taxonomies and menu_order not living together is unfortunate. It seems like something basic to order both the parents (in this case taxonomies) and children (in this case media items).

There are some plugins that relate to documents specifically. Maybe in documents there’s more need for this dual sorting. I’ll try those plugins, but there aren’t many of them to choose from, as I guess they’re much less popular that gallery plugins.

All I meant was the PDF icons like in https://imgur.com/a/JlBta – that’s how they should be. Real icons, not thumbnails.

I’m saying it should look like https://www.evermap.com/AutoSplit/MergeSimilar.gif – does it look like that for you?
