Linking Album Stripes to option buttons & search bar

[shanepaulsen]

Hi All

I have a nav bar with options ” search bar, newest and popular”, now i was wondering if Gmedia Album Stripes allows you to link the newest images to the newest button and display just those images, and the same with the popular and search buttons.

It’s depends on the WP Theme you use. But in most cases require code modifications.

You could create few galleries with different queries. One gallery could show last 30 uploaded images and second gallery will show most viewed or liked images.
In the Query Args. field you should write:
Newest:
order=DESC&orderby=ID&limit=30

Popular by views:
order=DESC&orderby=views&limit=30
OR by likes
order=DESC&orderby=likes&limit=30
OR by comments
order=DESC&orderby=comment_count&limit=30

That’s require to build custom template for your theme with code like:

<?php 
/* ... */
$search = !empty($_GET['s'])? esc_attr($_GET['s']) : '';
$shortcode = "[gmedia query='order=DESC&orderby=ID&limit=30&tag_name__in={$search}']";
echo do_shortcode($shortcode);
/* ... */
?>

But this require modification for individual theme.
