Does anyone know how to add a clean shortcode to show photos on a page, rtMedia?

Before upgrading to rtMedia from BuddyPress Media, I had a nice clean photo page where all my members could view the community photos. I tried to update the shortcode following instructions here: http://rtcamp.com/rtmedia/docs/common/shortcodes/gallery-shortcode/. I didn’t have any luck until I tried the following: [rtmedia_gallery global=“true” context=“page” media_type=“photo”]

This at least shows the photos. Although they are scattered on the page, take forever to load, and almost always crash the browser. I have it set to show 50 photos at a time. So there is a “NEXT” button at the bottom of this page. The Next button doesn’t work.

Can anyone give me advice on the following.

  1. How can I get a clean library of photos all sized the same in rows on this page?
  2. How can I get the pagination to work? Before there was a “Load More” button which worked great!

Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks for all your hard work on this plugin.

Regards,

Jason

The correct gallery shortcode is:
[rtmedia_gallery global=“true” media_type=“photo” media_author=“1”]

Let me explain you:

global = true

If you want to show all the media from your site then just use it.

context="page"

If you want to show media from posts/pages then use this option as per the need.

context_id="1"

If post or page id is 1 then it will show media from that post/page which are ONLY uploaded via rtMedia uploader.

media_type="photo"

Which media type you want to show. If you need video then use it in that shortcode.

media_author="1"

It will show media of author whose id is 1.

You can see the output of this shortcode in our demo site

I hope this will help you.

Load More button will be added back soon. We had to cut down scope to spend more time on migration script. I know it did not perform as good as expected for some users but hadn’t we sacrifice little features for a while, it could have been worse.
