In reply to: [Document Gallery] Call to a member function isSuccess() on a non-objectHi Steve,
Thanks for reporting. Given the issues reported by you and others, I’m rolling back the stable version to 4.0 until we have a chance to address the various issues properly. You’ll want to uninstall DG, then you can re-install 4.0.
The version number issue is interesting though. That suggests that WP.org may have messed up on their end when handling the release. I’ll have to dig into that further because 4.1.2 definitely had the right version. Can you tell me whether that version was in the README.txt header also?

In reply to: [Document Gallery] Cannot activate or deleteHi DrKassoff,
Firstly, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This release was not up to our standards and I have rolled back the stable release to 4.0 until we have a chance to resolve he issues you and others are reporting.
To address your immediate concern, my recommendation is to have your tech delete the document-gallery directory under wp-content. That should be all that is needed. Then you can do a re-install of document-gallery 4.0.
Please let me know if you run into any further issues.

That is very interesting since there is no such entry on that line number any more. That said, I have just rolled back the stable release for DG to 4.0 since a number of other issues are showing up that need to be addressed.
My recommendation is to uninstall DG, then attempt a clean install. I again apologize for the inconvenience.

Maybe something like this? There’s also a link within that article pointing to more advanced options you could try.

In reply to: [Document Gallery] Titles above thumbnailsAh! Yes, I’m sorry about that. We knew it would be inconvenient for users, but the hope was that long term it would make for much more easy access to styling everything.
I’ll pass this thread along to the front-end expert of the team and he may have some better ideas for a good CSS solution.

In reply to: [Document Gallery] Titles above thumbnailsHi Josef,
Firstly, thanks so much for the review! Glad to hear our work is appreciated. And you make a good point on the visibility — I don’t think the tags that identify DG have changed much since I first started it half a decade ago. I’ll look at them again soon. At minimum, I think library would be a good keyword to have.
Now, regarding your flipping of text and image, with the changes in 4.0, there are some non-code changes we can consider since we fixed some issues with the output structure that previously made styling much more challenging. I did a bit of playing with things and got this which works as long as you don’t have any titles that wrap to multiple lines. If you did, you’d have to be a bit more clever, but still should be doable I think. I’m no CSS expert, so this is what I came up with — feel free to improve upon it.
.document-icon { position: relative; padding-bottom: 1.5em } .document-icon .title { position: absolute; top: 0 } .document-icon img { position: relative; top: 1.5em }-Dan

In reply to: [Document Gallery] Thumbnails breakingGlad to hear it, Philip!
@rasto, if you go to your post where you have the document gallery, and go to the plain text view of your post, what is where the gallery should be?

In reply to: [Document Gallery] Edit documents with MS-WordHi Marius,
Unfortunately that functionality is well outside the scope of Document Gallery’s current goals. Generating thumbnail previews is the extent of current support for interacting with attachments.
Using an additional 3rd party plugin, you could conceptually implement this by extending the document attachment page to embed a viewer of some kind. I worked on developing Attachments++ (https://wordpress.org/plugins/attachments-plus-plus/) a long time ago, but it hasn’t been touched in years and I have no idea if it is even compatible with modern versions of WP. You’re welcome to give it a go it you like.

In reply to: [Document Gallery] PaginationFantastic!
We didn’t publicize that option with the release since it seemed like a much less common use case, but we never want to break existing features for the sake of new ones unless absolutely necessary! 🙂

In reply to: [Document Gallery] PaginationIt is linked to
limit&paginate. To use limit with the old behavior you simply need to setpaginate=false.-Dan
PS: If you’ve found this plugin useful, please take a moment to rate it. Thanks! 🙂

In reply to: [Document Gallery] PDF leads to blank postHi Dunbarton,
There is nothing in DG that “spins” at all, so it sounds like you have some other plugin that is misbehaving. I recommend disabling all of your other plugins and verify that the issue is resolved. You can then re-enable your plugins one by one to identify who is causing the problem.
