Updated DJ-MediaTools is Here (Version 2.7)

26 November, 2021

The new version of DJ-MediaTools with new integration plugins, improved responsiveness, and new features is now available.

Check what was added, fixed, and improved:

Improved Responsiveness

Updated layouts for:

  • slideshow
  • slideshow with thumbnails
  • modern slider
  • tabber

All of them were updated to use CSS instead of JS for size recalculation, which improves behavior on mobile devices and smaller screens.

J2Store Album Source Plugin

A new integration plugin for J2Store was added. This integration allows the display of J2Store products with a wide range of settings:

This integration lets you display product images/pictures as DJ-MediaTools Gallery, which gives multiple options (DJ-MediaTools layouts) to display the products.

Albums Hidden on Album List

This new feature allows you to decide whether an Album will be visible on the Album list. This way, you can exclude albums you don't want to be visible when listing all Albums.

To enable this feature, go to the Album -> Edit Album tab -> click "Show all options."

Skip X First Items

You can skip a few first album items to start displaying the album from some desired item. Use this feature to display the same album divided into different layouts. For example, you can display the first five items with a slideshow layout using the module, and the rest of the album items display on the gallery grid layout using component view.

This feature is available in the DJ-MediaTools module.
