blyerts, there is no need to wait until CodeCanyon approve it, please contact me via profile page and I will send it to you (current version is 1.0.4) and see changelog to follow what has been made/changed in the plugin.

Thanks :-) You got a mail with my mailadrress.

Update is now available on CodeCanyon.

Hello, how to install plugin?

Hi tony! Copy gridfx folder to your /wp-content/plugins and open your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > you will see Grid FX in plugins list, click activate.

If you want to know how to get started please see the Docs section under Grid FX. You need to place the [gridfx] shortcode to an area where you want to show the gallery.

Ok.. also, once installed will I be able to get the updates you’ve just made as of Sept 20

You will be able to see if there are new updates by clicking on Updates tab. The update is still being processed by CodeCanyon If you need the updates asap just send me a quick email and I will attach the latest copy in email to you.

hi, nice plugin

im still little lost, how can i upload new images to gridfx?

Thanks

Hi abdel!

Thank you.

Grid FX uses your WordPress content ( posts, or custom posts ) to display the grid.

That means you need to attach images (UPLOAD images) to your individual posts. Please see the FAQ/docs.

You can change the post types allowed in query via plugin settings. Such as normal posts or custom post types. You can also make the gridfx include attachments from one post only by specifying a post parent ID which will grab all images in that post and show them as gallery. Here is an example to get you started (Taken from demo)

[gridfx post_parent="631" posttypes="attachment"]

This will show all image uploads in post 631 as a gallery.

Thank you so much :)

Hi!

How to do that when you click on the picture - opens a page item in the portfolio, rather than lightbox?

Thank you, best regards!

I got you! You want it to go to post permalink when you click on photo from the black layer. I am working on an update now that includes this option, and working on some general theme compatibility stuff. Stay tuned for the update. Thanks!

I will wait. Thanks. :)

I fixed the issue with some themes that use fixed headers including Salient. The image link to permalink is also made available as of v1.0.4. Stay tuned for the release soon!

Looks nice, I like it too.

Nice plugin!!

Should be interesting if we were able to see the content of a post in lightbox and not only the picture :)

If you talk about the built-in black popup that comes after clicking an item, it does support content of post too, not only the image. So If a post has content, it will be shown beside the image.

Thanks!

Ah ok great, good to know :)

Hello:

I have already purchased the plugin. It looks very nice. I have a little problem with it and some doubts:

1. I can not open the page of custom post within the lightbox. The link magnifying glass icon does not work. However, the link of the photo galleries if viewed properly.

2. The images of the grid are not equal in height. How I can adjust the size to always be fixed?.

3. How I can control the number of initial post that initially load (12, 20, etc..).

4. If I click on the top filter posts displayed are filtered. If I click on the post terms are also filtered. However, if I choose first a category, then select a post term, posts that are displayed are no longer filtered by category (eg filter city = London on the top and then I want to filter by sale or rent. When I click on sale, you see the post of all cities, not just London)

thanks

I am working on some minor updates and fixes that should address your issues.

The top right corner can use a custom field. You can use show_corner_key=custom-field in your shortcode to display the meta value. Are the custom fields formatted? Or you do you mean that prices in your custom fields are not formatted and you want to show them formatted? Can I also look at your shortcode markup to see how you are implementing the custom field feature.

For auto-cropping (Optional ofcourse) this can be available in next version. Thanks!

*Still not quite sure about the first issue, can you email me a screenshot via the contact form to have a look at it.

Auto cropping feature is now added to v1.0.1 plus options to set optimal width and height for images and crop position as you requested.

Thanks!

Money format feature has been added to 1.0.2 update.

1. How do I add a link to the post in single view mode (and grid)? It’s not clear in the documentation… need some help.

2. In the admin area the help link does not work, is it just a link do docs or is it ment to link someware else?

Hi there,

1. You can easily edit the html template of grid view or single view by going to /templates/ you will see loop-single.php and single.php open these files. They are html formatted files. Just insert any custom stuff you want. If you have a better idea of where to place an optional permalink to post, let me know and I will add it.

2. This link has been fixed. Thanks! It is meant to link to Docs. Sorry. It has been corrected.

I have provided a very flexible way of adding link to original post. It’s now in v1.0.2. It can be done using a button or animated icon on the grid. Thanks for the feature request.

does it just pull from post or can you set up through image gallery with filters?

It pulls content from your WordPress posts and contents.

Hello,

By naming a wall in settings, i can’t get why this last won’t be saved and accessible at a later time just as it’s the case with any gallery plugin? I mean than when a gallery is created, we can back on it, edit it and bla…here I don’t see any list of saved walls and no matter the options i define in the settings, the generated shortcode remains the same???

Thanks

Cheers,

Seb

Hello,

I will clear the confusion over here. This plugin uses two types of setups, the first setup (the default setup which you define in settings) will be applicable to all [gridfx] instances. The generator does generate for you in real time each shortcode markup based on your modified settings, so you get a markup like that from the Generate panel: [gridfx posts_per_page=5 include_terms_tree=2] Just copy and paste it to your post/page. If you want to re-use it you can do so.

The generator does not save, it does give you the instant markup you’d need to insert to get the modified version/settings.

Was that clear?

The generated shortcode is always [gridfx] until you start editing options you will see dynamic and new markup to use. Hope you get it now? For example, say default posts per page is 10. The markup is [gridfx] if you go to generate page and want to setup new grid shortcode, change posts per page to 20 and you will see that in live shortcode area: [gridfx posts_per_page=20] I hope it’s clear now.

Ok. Nice.

Then I’ll buy, but I need to know if it is multi language.

That is, if the texts displayed (categories, prices, taxonomies, etc..) are prepared to be compatible with multi language plugins such as WPML.

thanks

Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with multi-language plugins. It uses native WordPress titles/taxonomies so It should be compatible with any localization plugin.

One last thing, when you click on the custom post, What is it that opens the lightbox? (content, featured image or a template that you can customize).

When you click on the grid item, the default action is that single view will open (Check demo it’s the black layer that goes from top when you click an item) The single view is a template you can customize it has a clean html structure to make it easy to edit.

Hello:

A great plugin. Very pretty.

I have a question,

Is it possible to include more than one filter for custom post?. For example, if I have a catalog of books organized by topic is there any way to filter them also for other categories or taxonomies as authors, publisher, year. etc.?

Thank you

The plugin currently supports one filtered nav on top which can use standard taxonomy (like category) or custom taxonomy. It does show categories for one taxonomy, you can have multiple filters on item detail itself if you look on demo where I put some tags for each item, that’s it. But if you talk about having filters on top of results for more than one taxonomy, that’s not supported by the plugin yet. Thanks!

Just have to thank you for this plugin, works right out of the box. One issue though… I got a sticky header so I cant see the close button or the title on singel view. Is it possible to add that as an option or give me a hint where to add some space in the code to be able to do that. / ola

Thanks for the purchase!

You need to increase the z-index value for the full view layer, that is all. You can do so by opening css/gridfx.css and finding this code:

div.gridfx-item-content {
    height: 1px;
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 99;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}

Right there, make the z-index increase, a number below 8000 will be fine (since that is used by fancybox).

As a safe check, I am updating the plugin to include a higher z-index value for this view layer. As I said you can open gridfx.css and increase the z-index for gridfx-item-content element for now. If your theme uses a high z-index value on some parts, you will need to add a value that’s higher.

I changed the Z value on the theme instead. Now it works just fine! Thanks for support!

You are welcome.

Stunning work… I would love to see the options to show the posts. Or even some of the examples of posts.. Can we display some excerpt of the post? Does the front end have to have a filter? If we have 4 categories of posts, can the plugin filter the categories?

Thank you for your response. What I would love to be able to do is similar to Saatchi website http://saatchi.com/en-us/

You mean the toggle effect for the excerpt?

Both would be fantastic… Even the option to have some columns wider and some narrow.
