Methods

{% gallery %}

Fetch a single gallery.

{% gallery
[var|set|assign] new_variable_name
 
Specify a variable name in order to save the gallery to a variable. If not specified the gallery will be output to the template instead. The variable will be saved using the "var" behavior unless "set" or "assign" are specified.
output_to_template
 
If included, the gallery will be output directly to the template.
 = 
gallery|guid|string
%}

{% galleries %}

Fetch a list of galleries.

{% galleries
[var|set|assign] new_variable_name
 
Specify a variable name in order to save the results to a variable. If not specified the results will be output to the template instead. The variable will be saved using the "var" behavior unless "set" or "assign" are specified.
output_to_template
 
If included, the results will be output directly to the template.
 = 
prepend:gallery|galleries|guid|string
 
Prepend the specified galleries before the fetched results. All prepended input will be returned in the same order that it is input.
append:gallery|galleries|guid|string
 
Append the specified galleries after the fetched results. All appended input will be returned in the same order that it is input.
exclude:gallery|galleries|guid|string
 
Prevent the specified galleries from being included in the fetched results. Has no affect on prepended and appended galleries
exclude_prepended:true
 
Specifically exclude all prepended galleries from the fetched results. If "unique:true" is specified this is the default behavior, although you may also specify "exclude_prepended:false" to allow any prepended items to be fetched along with other results anyway.
exclude_appended:true
 
Specifically exclude all appended galleries from the fetched results. This is false by default - even if "unique:true" is specified - so that results are returned in the proper order.
unique:true
 
If set to true, each of the resulting lists (prepended, fetched, appended, and items) will be unique, although there may be duplicates between the prepended, fetched, and appended lists. The "items" list will include objects in the order in which they appear - with prepended items first, then fetched items, then appended items.
max_size:25 
 
If specified, then the "items" list will only include up to the specified number of galleries. The "limit" may be automatically lowered to only fetch the maximum number of galleries that will be included in "items" following prepended items. Note that this may also impact both the "page and "total_pages" values. In order to use pagination with a list loaded using "max_size" use "start" instead of "page" and "limit".
filter:string
 
Only return galleries that match the given string filter
has_url:boolean
 
Filter results to only return galleries for which has_url exactly matches the specified value.
template:template|templates|guid|string
 
Only return galleries with one of these templates
include_in_search:boolean
 
Filter results to only return galleries for which include_in_search exactly matches the specified value.
site_domain_guid:guid
 
Filter results to only return galleries for which site_domain_guid exactly matches the specified value.
ssl_mode:string
 
Filter results to only return galleries for which ssl_mode exactly matches the specified value.
tag:tag|tags|guid|string
 
Only return galleries with one of these tags
author:author|authors|guid|string
 
Only return galleries with one of these authors
folder:folder|folders|guid|string
 
Only return galleries with one of these folders
date_created_start:datetime
 
Filter results to return galleries for which date_created is greater than or equal to date_created_start.
date_created_end:datetime
 
Filter results to return galleries for which date_created is less than or equal to date_created_end.
start:1
 
Set the 1-based index of the first gallery to fetch.
page:1
 
Automatically calculate the first gallery to fetch based on both of the "limit" and the 1-based "page" value. Ignored if "start" is set.
limit:25
 
Defines the maximum number of galleries to be fetched. If not included, this will default to 10. Note that if "max_size" is specified then "limit" may be automatically lowered even if specified.
sort_by:"date_created"
 
Specify which field to sort the fetched results by. Has no affect on prepended or appended galleries.

By default results will be sorted by relevance if there is a filter string and date_created (the date the item was first published) desc (newest first) if not.

Other Options include:

Name
Title
URL
BrowserTitle
relevance (based on which field matches the given filter and where in the field the match is found. When sorting by relevance sort_direction is irrelevant)
date_created (Equivalent to the date you first published this item. Unpublishing and republishing the item resets date_created to the current date)
random (By default using random sorting prevents fast caching of the page. Setting "cache_random:true" overrides this behavior and allows the page to be fast-cached anyway)
sort_direction:"desc"
 
Specify whether the fetched results should be sorted in asc (ascending) or desc (descending) order.
%}

If you do not include any filters or inputs other than prepended items, appended items, or max_size, then no additional items will be fetched. If you wish to fetch all items you must include at least one additional input (ie: "start:1")
