David Lingren on "[Plugin: Media Library Assistant] Very new to this, need help"

Hi,

I have limited knowledge of html, css, and WordPress. I do not have any other coding knowledge. I've attempted to go through your Documentations tab, but unfortunately I don't understand any of it.

I would like to use your plugin to create a Search Page on the front-end of my site. This would display links (bulleted list, checkboxes or dropdown menus) of my categories (healthcare settings) and tags (topics related to the healthcare settings). By clicking on one of these links, you should get a full list of files that have been marked with that "tag" or "category."

I have gone through my Media Library and added "category" and "tags" to the desired files. (Please note, I did not tag everything as I don't want images to display, only PDFs, word docx, excel docs). I was able to create an att. category cloud, when you hover over one of these links, it will say the amount of files in that category, so I know it sort of works.

When I select a link, the gallery doesn't appear. I would prefer a list of icons (PDF icon, Word icon, etc.) to be displayed (title of document, category, and tags assigned). Once clicked on, you should be able to open the file directly, not the attachment page.

Questions
- Is it possible to click on a category and get a sub-list of tags?
- When I click on one of my categories, nothing displays. What am I doing wrong?

[mla_tag_cloud taxonomy=attachment_category number=0 mla_link_href="{+page_url+}?term_slug={+slug+}"]

[mla_gallery attachment_category="{+template:({+request:term_slug+}|a-bad-term)+}" mla_nolink_text="Click a term to display the gallery." mla_output="list"]

I'm happy to provide more information. Thank you in advance for your help.
