MG 1.1 Make order out of chaos

[Rasmus Vind]

On my site (linked in the signature) it is simply chaos when entering the Media tab. Every random piece of uploaded media is shown on the frontpage. Is there a good known way to show only the good stuff somehow? I have no idea what that would entail, the most viewed stuff or stuff from a particular category? I don't think visiting this page on my site reflects a good side of my site.

The only other landing page for the Media home page is the albums page, e.g. https://www.hiveworkshop.com/media/albums

Perhaps a little less noisy.

Yeah... I don't know. I kind of feel like I want to be in charge of what gets displayed on the front page. People can have all the albums they want, but the media tab is just sooo random and noisy.

Also wondering about this. Converting from photopost where admin-defined categories are featured primarily, and then albums are secondary.

Wondering if there is a way to prioritize some official categories, and/or have more control over what appears on the media homepage.

It would be really nice to have such a Landing Page for Categories as well as user-created Albums.

@Ralle you have ONE category and it's the default "Example Category"?

Try to make more categories and then give it a visual push with this (FREE) add-on: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ha-xfmg-categories-layouts.5438/

The https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ha-xfmg-categories-layouts.5438/ add-on looks very good. Thanks Freelancer.

Thanks! Will have a look!

How do you edit the navbar link to point to the album page instead?

It’s in the XenForo Media Gallery Options page.
