    Hi,

    I’m using sell media to setup a site for a photographer friend.

    I would like to display multiple collections and their collection icon or first item, just like your stock photography does. I understand there is a function sell_media_collections() which from the theme source for the theme mentioned, it has a class called ‘sell-media-collection’.

    Basically how do I do this if its via a short code or function, I would like to implement this or a functioning alternative as good as this to give my friends site a more professional feel to it.

    Regards
    Stephen

    There is a shortcode which I’ve only discovered this morning called [sell_media_list_all_collections] which has 2 parameters, details and thumbs.

    example of use:

    [sell_media_list_all_collections details=”true” thumbs=”true”]

    I’m looking at trying to use it in the same way as you. Would like to replicate a look like some of the very cool showcase sites. List the collections (+thumb) in a grid overlayed with the collection name and link to the collection. Not sure if this shortcode will do this exactly or not in the way I want it to.

    I’ve just tried this but it only shows the first image in the collection and it isn’t clickable so not sure what’s going on! Is it working for you?

    Further to above – realised you need to have the details parameter included to have a clickable link! However, if you have thumbs set to true it shows the first image in the collection and not the icon which is what I would expect. Works best for me with thumbs set to false.

    I’m considering buying the extensions but Support is a bit sporadic here to say the least so having second thoughts.

    I ended up writing myself a new shortcode to do just what i needed it to do as that shortcode is a bit strange imho.
