Prerequisites and Setup
- Any Media Library Organizer Pro license
Overview
Dynamic Galleries allow image galleries to be embedded in WordPress content, where the contents (images) of the gallery are dynamically queried – for example, by EXIF metadata. This can be applied to both WordPress' native [[gallery]] shortcode, and Media Library Organizer Pro's [[media_library_organizer_dynamic_gallery]] shortcode.
Manually Adding Attributes to existing Galleries
Refer to the Dynamic Galleries Shortcode Documentation first to understand how to build Dynamic Galleries.
Use the following EXIF attributes in your existing shortcode to filter images by EXIF metadata:
| Parameter | Accepted Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| exif_camera_make_in | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Camera Make matches the given value. To specify more than one value, separate values with a comma. |
| exif_camera_make_not_in | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Camera Make does not match the given value. To specify more than one value, separate values with a comma. |
| exif_camera_model_in | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Camera Model matches the given value. To specify more than one value, separate values with a comma. |
| exif_camera_model_not_in | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Camera Model does not match the given value. To specify more than one value, separate values with a comma. |
| exif_created_date | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Created Date matches the given value. To specify more than one value, separate values with a comma. |
| exif_created_date_between | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Created Date falls between the two given dates, in the format yyyy-mm-dd,yyyy-mm-dd |
| exif_author_in | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Author matches the given value. To specify more than one value, separate values with a comma. |
| exif_author_not_in | string | Images will be displayed where the EXIF Author does not match the given value. To specify more than one value, separate values with a comma. |
