Project index – categories separator

[alasdair17]

Being able to filter images would be so amazing!

Would happily pay for this feature.

it seems that i can pretty easily add a tag box to a media library item edit page.
would tag filtering be enough or would you also need categories, like we have for thumbnailgrid?

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh If it can work with images inside an element grid that would be amazing, categories would be great but just tags would do a good job too.

[arminunruh]

ok!! i understand

Here's something maybe that you could consider.

I'm using Element Grid on a Project page to add Project thumbnails "related-like". Could use a search bar on that.

[arminunruh]

ah you mean you would like a search bar in here?

so its easier to find projects?

[arminunruh]

next update will include a searchbar:

@arminunruh

Thank you!

@arminunruh also you could maybe change selecting multiple? Now it just grabs the whole row (when using shift)

[arminunruh]

you can press ctrl on windows
or cmd on mac

then you can choose multiple projects without selecting a whole row of project as you would when using shift

thats the normal way it works even in finder on mac and explorer on windows

hey Armin, wonder if this is something you are still considering? I'd love to use this feature for a website, obviously understand you have many other things to do and I'm always appreciative of how well you respond to feedback and suggestions. It would be great if it is something on your list of potential features for the future. I think it would be used by lots of people as sometimes I think it's nice and useful to be able to filter the images within a project especially if there is lots of images and you are looking for something specific.

I wonder if too you could search for images via the media 'tags' or 'categories' in the search bar feature on the navigation bar and it displays the images in the results which could then be opened into a lightbox, ha perhaps I'm asking too much!

[arminunruh]

hello these are great ideas! i still have this on my todo list but im unsure about when i would have time to code it

@arminunruh

This works great, any idea why Element Grid + Project Thumbnails would end up like this?
No custom CSS work or what-so-ever

[arminunruh]

I'm not sure, do you have a link please?

@arminunruh
Yes, please, have a look: https://polczynski.info/emotions-3/

[arminunruh]

i think its because of this custom css of yours!
