3D FlipBook - Any way to make category end pages show the PDF
Hi, I am trying to make a PDF library, that can be filtered by a dropdown into category types. I cannot seem to find this feature within the pro version of the plugin either. The nearest I have gotten is using your plugin + a third party search & filter plugin. The issue I'm running into now is that though the search and filter plugin sees the 3dflipbook categories, those category pages don't seem to populate with the PDFS they contain. Is there a way for the category pages to display lightbox thumbnails of the pdfs in that category or do you have some way I can have a main category with all the pdfs, and a dropdown menu to filter by year (category)? Aside from that the category shortcode was working fine but now says "No PDF URL Provided" any idea how I can get it to work again? Thanks!
I solved this by creating posts per year, and I added the shortcode to pull in each year category matching it with the post category and then filtered the content with a Search & Filter plugin. So the first page is a normal web page with the shortcode for the main parent category showing everything, and then there is a dropdown that filters posts by year and takes the user to that post with the correct pdfs for that year. It would still be nicer if the plugin could do this without the additional post setup. Also, can I set a max amount of items to be displayed with pagination after that? In other words if I have 50 PDFS in a category, have it set to display 25 with a pager at the bottom for page 2? Otherwise the parent category can get pretty long... Thanks
