Probably, by modifying the query that gets those product posts: https://justifiedgrid.com/support/faq/recent-posts-query-args/

Ok, I see, this is not going to happen via JIG shortcode editor.

No, but this is the PHP custom code:

add_filter('jig_recent_posts_query_args', 'change_jig_recent_posts_query', 10, 2);
function change_jig_recent_posts_query($args, $atts)
{
    if ($atts['gallery'] === "2020") {
        $args['orderby'] = 'modified';
        $args['order'] = 'DESC';
    }
    return $args;
}

Change 2020 to the ID of the grid.

I’ll consider adding this as an option to the order by setting.

For 1. No not yet, but a drop-down filtering layout is on the todo, for compacting many filter buttons. Also the realtime user-typed input search is planned.

2. would be the way to go, you can grab the things you want from the URL with 1-2 lines of PHP then pass it to JIG in form of a template tag. You can use a “grid” for this, so you can keep the styling controls in the admin area but only expose the setting that builds the gallery from a tag. That will be dynamic. This needs a little custom work, though.

Do you only have time period and place, or are there 3rd or 4th or more taxonomies enabled (tags) on the pics?

There is also a way to use 3rd party search, let it generate the results, and hijack its id-list-based output to be shown with JIG.

Hi, thanks for your quick answer.

I think that we can separate point 1 as client side filters and 2 as server side ones

1. understood. Yes, the tags in this website make it so that the tags themselves cover more than one screenful, so a dropdown / search box where filters may be added and then removed through an ‘x’ button would improve the ui. I was planning to do one myself but I can wait, if think you will release that “shortly”. Answering here your question for point 2, no, this website has about 8 different tag categories… like collection, author, theme, and so forth.

2. Yes, yesterday I felt like delving into it and not knowing extensively the wordpress architecture yet, I went the way that I thought would work. So I created a page, where I inserted a custom shortcode. The code for that shortcode gathers the data from the URL, then constructs a JIG shortcode string, which is then invoked through do_shortcode(.....)

this is the code, no checks are in place yet

function wpb_url_params() {

$beta = $_GET[‘ids’] ? “ids=”.$_GET[‘ids’] : ($_GET[‘filter_tag’] ? “filterby=”.$_GET[‘filter_tag’] : “filterby=tag_places”);

$theta = “[justified_image_grid ${beta} image_taxonomy=attachment_tag image_tax_term=gallery]”;

return do_shortcode($theta); }

function shortcodes_init(){ add_shortcode(‘url_params’, ‘wpb_url_params’); } add_action(‘init’, ‘shortcodes_init’);

I am not sure if it’s the most efficient way to do it. For sure it felt like the least disruptive to what is already in place!

So if I pass a comma separated set of IDs, I get a gallery with those picture IDs, which is good. if I pass as filter_tag a tag taxonomy, I get a gallery with that tag taxonomy on top as clickable buttons.

I am looking for a way to only get the pictures with a specific tag from a specific tag taxonomy , with no filters on top, I have not been able to yet. This is because on the leaf pages (the pic pages), those tags are displayed and I want to make them clickable, so that they take the user to a JIG containing all and only the pics with that tag value. Also, trying to find a way to add forward / back navigation to the leaf page withing a gallery …. hm. in general, to be able to be able to properly configure the JIG via url params (or post ….)

So here is what I am at. I’ll try and experiment a bit more with JIG, but again if you could point me in the right direction, it’ll be much appreciate. thanks for the awesome plugin!

1. It won’t be shortly, there is no ETA, but it’s definitely something I want to add eventually.

2. Those things you receive from GET should not have anything to do with “filtering”, instead put that value into image_tax_term and set the image_taxonomy to what that term is.

Some customers have done that but I can’t recommend to load that many in one go. Make sure your server/CDN is ready for those concurrent connections. You can play around with load more and infinite scrolling, but I’m aiming to boost the performance along with the eventual inclusion of pagination. As always, feel free to try and I’ll refund if it’s not good enough for your use case.

I have pretty many POSTS at my wordpress website and just want to use your plugin to create a gallery from existing content posts…

(it is about POSTS not pages)

and how about if I could assign a GRID to a category to be able to use different GRIDS…

Posts and pages are almost the same thing for WP and JIG. Do you have a featured image for each post? Or would you like to show the grids inside the posts?

The grids feature has a “Recent Posts” tab to begin with. If you wish to replace the lists of posts that your theme shows, a few lines of PHP code will be necessary to replace the loop with JIG. That can affect any or all the category archives as well.

I want to show the GRIDs inside the POSTS… it is only about POSTS with images, no text content, no other content inside any POST…

I just want to DISPLAY the post images with JIG to use your rich features to make it look better and have lazy loading and so on for galleries with 100and more images…

how to change single.php to get JIG inside my posts?

(I think single.php is the right one)

You just place an othewise empty

do_shortcode('[justified_image_grid']);

wherever you need to. The images will need to be attached to the post (as in uploaded to that post). If they weren’t, there are tools that can attach free-standing images to particular posts (perhaps with Media Library Assistant plugin).

I have no idea how to use that codeline !?

can you please send an example?

posts look like… please see https://thighdeology.net/sakura-and-hinata-from-naruto-by-sia-siberia-and-purple-bitch-photos/

sorry?

Custom links from images yes, filtering yes. You’ll find the custom link input field in the media library while JIG is active. Filtering is currently 2-levels only, this is what visitors click above the grid. You can also just use the tags to create a gallery based upon them.

I bought it, but now as I’m looking at setting it up, it looks like I can only link to a page OR open it in a lightbox. I’d like to be able to do both. Have a button/icon on the image that allows one to open it bigger, and another button/icon on the image that allows one to click to view more details (and be directed to the product page).

Is this possible..or am I correct in thinking it is not?

The thumbnail itself is a single giant link, any icon on it is not separately clickable, so yes it does 1 thing at a time. What you can do is have the thumbnail click open the lightbox, and from the lightbox captions provide a link (automatically in case of Recent Posts) to the page. This can be a “buy now” or “learn more” or similar link.

Yes of course you can just create a gallery from WP media library, with custom drag n drop order, set up the overlay text and point them to a custom link.

Are those just woocommerce taxonomy archives? Thought you needed this automated somehow. If you got these “dresses, jumpers” on their own pages (or custom post types) that list these products, with featured images, there is a way to automate.

Thanks for confirming my 3rd question – if what I say below is not possible, then I can achieve what I want manually using this manual way. My 2 previous questions are regarding 1. woocommerce product categories. 2. custom taxonomy created using CPT UI and attached to the Products post type. It would be nice if I could pull my Major WC product categories (not the subcategories) into a masonry gallery and their images, titles & links should come with them. Similarly, I could pull my Major WC product taxonomy (not the subcategories) into a masonry gallery and the title and links should come with them. Since the taxonomies do not have an image, I should be able to assign an image to them. What do you think?

Just to be completely clear about my earlier questions… I am not looking to pull posts from my categories…I am looking to display the actual category/taxonomy entries themselves… e.g. Dresses, Trousers, Skirts. I basically want to show a grid of all my major product categories and collections(taxonomy).

Currently you’d need to do that manually as the WP posts option in JIG is for posts, pages, products, but not the taxonomy term lists themselves. It can pull products from your custom taxonomy though.

Look at this (I know your usage is not NextGEN but the end result is similar): https://justifiedgrid.com/sources/nextgen-gallery/tag-albums/ These are tags in NextGEN (basically taxonomies), and JIG auto picks a picture for them. But they don’t exist as pages nor posts. This kind of thing could be done for WP taxonomies, something that your comment made me realize. There is no ETA on this yet.

If this were to be developed, users could just create an album-gallery relationship Grid without any 3rd party plugins. For the index view you’d choose a taxonomy as the base of the gallery. If it’s hierarchicel, it would generate a multi-level deep gallery with just 1 shortcode. If it’s flat, it would just show each term as a gallery, allowing you to enter each for a single gallery view. Or just open them in a straight to lightbox group if they are just photos not products.

What would be the best way to set a manual cover picture for a term? There is a “description” field for taxonomy terms, some themes make use of it, but no picture.

Taxonomy descriptions are used by my theme to show a description below the category title. This is the same thing as for product categories. So I think the image would have to be added manually for each taxonomy term.
