I'm trying to create a 3 columns view which shows images in the first column, pdf's in the second one and finally audio/video.

I guess i need to use the post_mime_type filter but i don't know if it's the best way or if i'm doing it right. Should i use the [Wpv-if] shortcode?

How should i type the wpv-if shortcode in that case?

Thanks in advance

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

1)
As I understand you want to list three different type of media in different columns but it should remain same in single column while its looping in views.

You can use wpv-if to check your custom field values. You can find more details on that on following link:

--- Please share a link where I can see your issue in action explaining your issue.
--- Few screenshots will be helpful.

Could you please send me debug information that will help us to investigate your issue.

Hello Minesh, thanks to you for the fast reply.

1) I attached a sketch of what i'm trying to do (it would be 3 columns, so maybe it would be better to make 3 differetnt views, one for each format Images/pdf/audio-video)

I tried a WPV-if but i think i didnt syntaxed it propperly.

How should i check if post_mime_type is an image or pdf?

[wpv-if post_mime_type="image/jpg" evaluate="$post_mime_type = 1'"] (here display the images thumbnail) [/wpv-if] ??

2) it's not actually a bug problem, is more that i have doubts about how to program the functionality with Toolset.

Really thanks for your help!

I think you should use some custom shortcode which will return you the string based on the post_mime_type and then you should check the returned string that returned based on the "post_mime_type".

-- But here you need to fetch attachment ID based on the post ID.

=> https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_mime_type

add_shortcode('get_mime_type',get_mime_type_for_attachment);
function get_mime_type_for_attachment($id) {

  $type = get_post_mime_type($id);
  switch ($type) {
    case 'application/pdf':
       return 'PDF'; 
       break;
    case 'image/jpeg':
    case 'image/png':
    case 'image/gif':
      return 'IMAGE'; 
       break;
    case 'video/mpeg':
    case 'video/mp4': 
    case 'video/quicktime':
      return 'AUDIO'; 
      break;
    case 'text/csv':
    case 'text/plain': 
    case 'text/xml':
      return 'TEXT'; 
       break;
     }
}

But here I would like to know the structure that with which post type you are dealing with, is this attachment?
