Hi Jared,

I absolutely agree that the ID should be passed down to allow for additional functionality. The ID being excluded was a complete oversight on my part. I’ll have that available in the next release.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

EDIT: Actually, I was going in to fix the issue and it looks like you do actually receive the ID through dg_icon_template. It should be your second parameter, with the first parameter being the boolean indicating whether the user is including descriptions. Are you not seeing this on your system?

Perfect!

Thanks, Julie and glad that we were able to resolve everything!

Hi Jason,

What you’ve done works, but why not just call [dg] always? DG will handle no attachments correctly (no output). 🙂

Changing to this approach would also avoid double work since internally DG is calling get_posts().

Hi Julie,

I’m so sorry about the multiple headers bug. I’m not sure why that’s happening, but I’ll investigate as soon as I’m home from work.

Hi Fredd,

As of version 2.3 (just released) this is now an option!

Hi Mario,

I believe you’ll find the Taxonomy changes just released in 2.3.1 address the issues you were having.

Please given them a shot and let me know if you run into any issues with their functionality!

Hi Bigsipper,

It sounds like Ghostscript doesn’t understand one or more of the PDFs you are using. I’ve heard of this happening occasionally with some weird formats.

One thing I would suggest that may resolve the issue is upgrading your version of Ghostscript. Based on the stack trace you provided, it looks like you are running 8.70 which was released in ’09 and it’s possible it will have issues with newer derivations of the PDF format. That said, I cannot guarantee that will resolve the problem.

On my end, I need to figure out why you are having that error dump displayed. That shouldn’t be making it onto the frontend.

Can you run a quick test for me? I would like to see if we can get anything useful from the DG logging.

1. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery -> Advanced and enable logging.
2. Go to the Thumbnail Management tab, select all of the generated thumbnails and delete them.
3. Go to your gallery and reproduce the problem you described above.
4. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery -> Logging and see if there are any Error or Warning logs (you can filter this in the top right of the log screen). If there is anything recent in there, paste those errors/warnings here.

EDIT: Also, as a short-term fix, you can disable the Ghostscript generation method which should prevent the errors you’re seeing. You’ll likely get the default PDF icons (unless Google Drive is active), so not an ideal long-term fix.

EDIT 2: Can you tell me what PHP version you are currently running?

Hi Lisa,

Addressing your last question first, configuring the number of columns is not currently possible. It is on our TODO list though.

For your first question, I’m not sure what you mean… Can you show me an example of the behavior you are describing?

Can you please go to to Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery -> Advanced and paste the entire contents of the the big text box at the bottom of that page? Also, can you please paste the shortcode (ie: [dg ...]) that you are currently using?
