Very nice job Kyle.

 

I'm still writing mine. I tend to write in spurts in between bouts of writers block I am noticing.

LOL! Well I do live in Colorado, but I do not partake. I'm too paranoid about "hey random drug test!" at work, so I'd rather play it safe. May be legal in state, but companies don't like it.

This. Try working for the federal government and saying it's legal in your state on a random drug screen....

Precisely. Now, I've never had anything other than a drug test prior to starting employment anywhere, but I'd just rather not tempt fate.

PC Sarge took my topic.  😭

 

Nah, seriously though, I'm glad somebody wrote it and he did a great job.  I've been sooo freaking busy lately between trying to get a functional internet connection, keeping up with my kiddo's schooling online (without an internet connection), shopping for a house so I can have an internet connection........ :lachen:

 

If anyone absorbs my other topic I wouldn't feel bad at all.  I needed the cash, but meh, I also need the time too. -_-  Sorry E.  I feel like I've let ya down.

So I'm in the middle of hacking together a "review" article and have a few questions that I've posed to E @ENTERPRISEwho might be too busy to get back to me at the moment. I did float them by a couple of folks in a Discord chat yesterday, but they didn't know the answers. Maybe someone else here might be able to provide them though (trying to finish this article by the end of this month). 

 

Some notes first:

  1. I come with/from an advanced website development background, which includes among many other things the use of WordPress and other content management systems and forum software. That means I know how things are supposed to work. I am also retired now though and don't do any website development work currently;
  2. I've read the help PDF document that was put together to help contributors put together WordPress posts. It may be dated though, as some things in it don't seem to work the way the way they should, which leads me to...; 
  3. I would like to use the gallery functionality such that I can put together a collection of image thumbnails representing larger images that display in a modal lightbox when those thumbnails are clicked on; whether as a slideshow or individually. The only thing I seem to be able to create are galleries consisting of selected images that display as the size they're saved to disk to on the server. The media library seems to be set up to restrict what authors can actually do using it, especially when it comes to image sizing choices. These limitations might also be dictated by customizations made to the site's theme functionality (e.g., the theme's function.php file; and perhaps other theme files). I suspect that isn't the case though because a child theme set doesn't appear to be in use in as per a looksee into the the site's sourcecode. 

Anyway, I can't seem to make no. 3 happen the way things are set up in the dashboard for authors now, no matter what I do. What, if anything, am I doing wrong? 

 

Could be the issue is that is just the way the dashboard is configured for authors now, but figured someone here might be able to help clear that up for me.

 

TIA for any help provided! 

 

(now it's back to your regularly scheduled programming)

I have the same experience with #3. Also quite annoying is that as a writer ALL of your images are stored on the media tab with no way that I have seen to segregate them into folders or by review. Slideshow and advanced options for media is something I never found or missed somehow. Being limited by number of columns and thumbnail-full size is quite limiting as you say.

Okay, I've got it figured out (check out a preview of my draft article if you have access, which I think you do as an author). 

 

You have to make sure that when inserting a gallery you do so using the classic editor instead of the block editor. What threw me off is that the way the theme in use works it allows for a mix of sections that are created and managed using the classic editor, and a mix of sections that are blocks. If you try to create a gallery/lightbox combo in a section that is a block, you run into the problem I described in my previous post.

 

I did watch the video noted in the PDF help doc, but it isn't very clear about that.

Yeah, you're right. You can view other's published posts via the dashboard, but not those in draft status. I just confirmed that.

I am glad you managed to get it sorted it looks like. There are tonnes of plugins for WordPress which I will investigate more with respects to extra functions and ease of writing 🙂 Sorry I did not get to your PM sooner.
