Search Modula plugin metadata for images

[FreshySites]

So I’m trying to make a search form for the images saved to the media library. I successfully figured out how to do that but was unable to show the “title” of the image. The only title it’s pulling is the file name minus the extension.

After some digging I realized that the “Title” for the images I was trying to find was actually metadata added by the Modula plugin. https://gyazo.com/fd33556adac87897c660bf7e66fe3588

Do you think it’s possible to search and show this metadata saved by the Modula plugin?

Thanks!

Hi,

Well – if that information is stored as metadata (as post meta), then it could be possible. I suspect that it is very likely that – so now all you need to do is find the name of these meta fields.

If you are using the regular engine, then on the General Options -> Sources panel, try searching for the title field: https://i.imgur.com/l6AWezV.png
In case of the index table engine, you can do the same: https://i.imgur.com/HjwXrdm.png

Unfortunately I’m not sure if this info is stored as post meta by modula. I used the post meta inspector plugin to show everything and didn’t see anything related to the image titles. Also just tried searching for the title field and nothing showed up.

Then it is probably not searchable. You can still ask their support, maybe the meta fields have some other names.

Yeah I also reached out to their support about this.

Thanks Ernest!
