Hi ohmel,

It sounds like you may want to look at get_posts.

Thrilled to hear DG made your life easier! 🙂

Hi Matthew,

Hosting locally should be fine unless you are trying to use Thumber.co, which relies on a public URL.

If you go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery, at the bottom of that page there is a list of thumbnail generation methods. What do you see there? My guess is that both IMagick and Ghostscript are both not available on your machine, which would make thumbnail generation impossible.

And yes, manual thumbnails are possible. You can either configure those on the attachment page for the documents you add or through the Thumbnail Management tab.

Marsha,

What browser are you using? The shortcode value seems to be valid and parses OK on my system, so I’m wondering if you have an unsupported browser.

Hi Bjarne,

I have been swamped with grad school for the past few months so I have not tested yet. I will try to find time this weekend to do a formal test and rev the compatible to version.

Thanks, Marsha! That helps.

Ok, I’m going to need you to make a quick change to the Document Gallery code in order to get a better idea of what exactly is going on.

In the same place where you updated the WP config, edit this file wp-content/plugins/document-gallery/assets/js/gallery.js adding console.log('shortcode: ' + decodeURIComponent($(this).data('shortcode'))); to line 48. That block should now look like this:

    /**
     * Handles necessary logic for when we're rendering gallery preview within visual editor.
     */
    function handleVisualEditor() {
        if (is_editor) {
            tinymce.PluginManager.add('dg', function (editor, url) {
                editor.on('LoadContent update.dg undo', function (e) {
                    $(e.target.contentDocument).find('[data-wpview-type="dg"] [data-shortcode]').each(function () {
                        console.log('shortcode: ' + decodeURIComponent($(this).data('shortcode')));
                        retrieveGallery($.parseJSON(decodeURIComponent($(this).data('shortcode'))), $(this));
                    });
                });
            });
        }
    }

Once that’s done, I’ll be interested to know what shows up in the console directly before the error you posted. It should start with “shortcode: “.

Hi Bjarne,

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is, DG was already using WP to do thumbnail generation and has been pretty much since inception 🙂 This change to WP core likely means we’ll be able to remove the extension of WP_Image_Editor_Imagick we were using to handle deficiencies in core implementation some time in the future, though likely not in the short term to continue supporting backward compatibility.
