A container tag representing a list of Media Manager entries. The actual list can be configured using the optional attributes to this tag. The default is to display all entries. To alter this behavior, you can provide one of the following attributes:
N entries (according to sort_order and sort_by below), where N is some number greater than 0.M entries from the first (according to sort_order and sort_by below), then displays the remaining entries (or the next N entries if used in combination with lastn). For example, the following tag will display entries 6-10 (inclusively):
<MTMediaManagerItems lastn="5" offset="5"> ... </MTMediaManagerItems>
unread, reading and read. If no status attribute is given, entries are displayed regardless of status.entry_id attribute.entry_id. Cannot be used with the isbn attribute.<MTMediaManagerItems> tag. Valid values are ascend and descend. The default value is descend.status, isbn, entry_id, modified_on, finished_on and entered_on. You can specify an arbitrary sort order for your entries by overriding the ''last modified on" field in the Media Manager interface and sorting by modified_on. If you sort by entry_id, entries without an associated blog entry id will be skipped. The default value is entered_on (the date on which the entry was originally entered).Attributes of MTMediaManagerItems can be combined in arbitrary ways. For example, the following tag will take all entries with status set to ''unread", sort them in ascending order according to the last modified date and display items 11 through 20 (inclusive) of that set.
<MTMediaManagerItems lastn="10" offset="10" status="unread" sort_order="ascend" sort_by="modified_on"> ... </MTMediaManagerItems>
