Great idea! I’m actually surprised we didn’t think of manual overrides sooner. We’ll try to get this feature into a release soon.

Hi anguyen,

If you want descriptions, you’ll just need to navigate to your attachments (Dashboard -> Media) then click on each attachment you want a description for and fill the description field.

Then just use [dg descriptions=true...] (where the ellipsis is any further attributes you chose to include, as documented in the installation tab.

Hi Jake,

What you describe could definitely be done with Document Gallery at its core, but you would need additional code to tie all of the functionality together.

It actually should be quite straightforward. Take a look at do_shortcode() for details on how you can invoke the dg shortcode from your template. Then all you need to do is use the documented taxonomy support to load whatever category you want on the given page.

I hope that helps and please do let me know if you have any further questions!

Thanks for your patience and understanding, Mario!

Interesting. So hang on a minute, there are currently no generators enabled at all? We’re there previously? At minimum you should have had the Audio/Video method enabled by default. Did you manually disable that or did the plugin do that on its own?

Hi sandrobird,

Firstly, thanks for using Document Gallery! 🙂

With your first question, I think I need a bit of clarification in terms of what you are wanting. Currently you could in theory get the gallery output anywhere you like through use of the [do_shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode) method and regular Document Gallery syntax (ie: [dg...]). That said, it sounds like you are looking to access just the image for a given attachment without the gallery surrounding it. Is that correct? If so there are currently some undocumented ways to do what you want, but all of those would be subject to change. One option would be for me to document an official API for DG that would ensure the methods opened up would stay consistent.

For the second half, that’s a bit of a challenge. The only option I can think of to bypass that file security would be generate a randomly-named, but publicly-accessible copy of the file that we want to generate a thumbnail for, pass that random URL to google long enough for it to do its thing, then remove the copy. This would mean you’re slightly less secure for a second or two, but the chances of someone finding a random file name in that time would be nearly ziltch.

Hi brekhusr,

Let’s see if we can figure out what’s happening.

Firstly, which version of Document Gallery are you running?

Additionally…

• Is any error displayed at the top of the page after the save fails?
• Are there any log entries in the Logging tab? (If so, can you post them here?)
• If you try to enable logging in the Advanced tab, does that save work (it’s possible that the same thing preventing your save when adding Google Drive Viewer will prevent this too, but worth a shot).

Thanks!
