Medialist

Customise the shortcode with additional keywords

Note: Some keywords can have multiple options, ensure they are seperated by a comma i.e [medialist mediatype=pdf,audio].

• type=attachment (or) post
• mediatype=excel,pdf,doc,zip,ppt,text,audio,images,other (You can use more than 1 here.)
• order=ASC (or) DESC
• orderby =none, ID, author, title, name, type, date, modified, parent, rand, comment_count
• category=uncategorized, (any defined category taxonomy assigned to media or post items, you can use more than 1 here.)
• mediaitems=10 (Provide a number of items you wish to display in the list before pagination)
• paginate=0 (Setting paginate to 0 will disable pagination, mediaitems number will be the max items displayed, default is 10)
• style=ml-default (Various built-in styles, write one of the style names listed below.)
• author=author-username-here (This will display posts uploaded by the specified author, case sensitive.)
• search=1 (Setting search to 1 will enable a basic search facility.)
• tags= (any defined tag assigned to media or post items, you can use more than 1 here.)
• rml_folder=(folder ID) You can find the folder ID by selecting a folder, and click the three dots on the folder toolbar. A dialog opens and in the bottom right corner there is a text label with the ID.

Note: If using the RML Real Media Library Plugin, attach your files within RML folders to the desired page as normal or use the globalitems=1 attribute. Other: The mediatype (other) currently supports exe,sql & xml files.

Available styles

• ml-metro-light-green
• ml-metro-green
• ml-metro-magenta
• ml-metro-light-purple
• ml-mauve
• ml-taupe
• ml-sienna
• ml-white

Override options for shortcode

For special use cases, you may want to override parts of the plugin using the following shortcode keywords.

• sticky=0 (By default sticky posts will be ignored, setting this to 0 will pin sticky posts to the top of the list.)
• max=200 (By default the plugin will only add 200 items to a list. You can override this by setting max= to a larger number. Or similarly a smaller number.)
• globalitems=1 (By default attachments from the current page (or) post are able to be displayed. Setting this attribute to 1 will allow the list to display all items in the Media Library. It is recommended to set a category attribute first before using this override option.)

Example [medialist sticky=0 max=1000 mediaitems=10 type=post order=DESC orderby=date category=recipes] The example will now pin sticky posts to the top and will also display up-to a thousand items and because mediaitems=10 there will be 10 items per page for a total of 100 possible pages.

The defaults

A medialist will by default have the following features unless changed in your shortcode with keywords

• Pagination Enabled
• Display a maximum of 200 items
• Sticky posts will be ignored
• A total of 10 items will display per list and paginate for items over this number
• Generate a list of the mediaitems attached to the current page only and of any category
• Organise each list in ascending order by title
