@yoarts,

Thanks! Look forward to the release of version 1.5.5.

@jdobre,

Apologies, I was out sick for the end of last week…

At this point I have no recommendations for your reported issue. I’ve test on my own development sites using various themes and cannot reproduce the same issue.

Maybe try switching theme to the default WP theme. I realize this is not always an option. Or it may be some other plugin filtering the query requests.

@esp Projects,

Thanks for that. Will include in the next update.

@andrew,

Yes, sorry I know how the JS works and the reasoning. But to have the theme require the extra JS library ‘tooltip.js’ and not have it included as part of the theme itself is somewhat bad form. If this was noted somewhere in the dashboard as an alert that it requires some external plugin to add the functionality I would not have reported the issue.

As far as I can tell there is not an option under the dashboard to control this.

Thanks.

@jdobre,

Hmm. In that shortcode. See the ‘media_tags’ parameter. This should be the SLUG of the tag no the label.

As for the ‘numberposts’ parameter you can pass in a value of “-1” to return all items instead of using some high number.

Other than that suggestion go into your wp-admin and to the Media -> Media-Tags terms listing. Find the term ‘Quarterly Meeting’ and you should see the total number of items with that tag.

Let me know. Thanks.

@julie,

Hmm. This should have worked. You should not need to make any other setting adjustments. In this beta version of SE when you exclude the item from the ‘Archive’ is is automatically excluded form the widget.

Since this is under development is it possible to let me log in and see if I can assist further? Don’t post login information here. you should be able to contact me via my website https://www.codehooligans.com/contact/

@jdobre,

Well it might help if you provide some details on exactly how you are requesting the media-tags items? Are you using a shortcode? Or calling the query function directly? Please provide exact examples.

Most probably answer is like all other WordPress queries you are by default limited to the number of posts to be shown per page. This is globally controlled in wp-admin via Settings > Reading. Look for the field ‘Blog pages show at most’.

With Media-Tags you can control this In wp-admin if you go to Media-Tags > Help you can read up on the options.

@julie,

Just wondering if you saw my last post and if you have had a chance to review.

@jsrobinson,

Just my thoughts here. The Media-Tags plugins creates a custom taxonomy associated with the ‘attachment’ post type. This is similar to how the post tags taxonomy is associated with the ‘post’ post_type.

As for adding the Vimeo or any other external URL (either video or static image) to the WordPress attachments is can be done from what I’ve read. But the current WordPress media handler does not currently work in that area. So that would need to be a separate process to get the external URL added to the Media system as an attachment. Then at that point Media-Tags will function against it as if it were a normal attachment.

@jsrobinson,

Thanks for writing. So I see you have the solution to your own question.

Correct, the Media-Tags plugin simply creates a custom taxonomy. So you can use the WordPress functions as needed.

As part of the plugin there are also some template functions you can use. For example there is a function ‘the_mediatags()’ which is similar to the WordPress ‘the_cateogies()’ for the post categories taxonomy and ‘the_tags()’ for the post tags taxonomy. Check out the plugin file mediatags_template_functions.php

Let me know if you need any more help.

@julie,

Ok. Worked on some changes this morning. Trying to filter on the raw SQL used by the archives widget. Let’s see if it works for you. Works fine on my vanilla site.

Please download and install. This should replace the current version of Simply-Exclude

Please report back on this thread. Thanks

Hi again @julie, I’ll check the Archives widget code in the most recent version of WordPress to see if there are any new options for filtering the queries. If there are I’ll post an update. Thanks.

Hi again @julie. Yes, I figured it was the Archive widget. Unfortunately Simply-Exclude has not direct effect on the widget output. The reason for this is the widget is sort of closed off in that is perform direct queries to show the archive listing/dropdown. And the listing is not controllable or filterable by other plugins like Simply-Exclude.

As far as your other comment “Simply Exclude removes the titles from all the widgets” I’m not concerned. The Simply-Exclude plugin really does not remove titles. It was designed to filter the main page query, the Loop, used by WordPress.

Hi @julie,

Can you provide more details on “the month”. Are you referring to the month archive widget or something similar?

@keintze,

Yeah, if you have many tags the old modal code does not seem to scale well. I’ve been working on Media-Tags 3.3 which has a rewrite of the model code to better work within the Backbone.js structure. You can see that beta download here.
