### Filtering Media Pages

[](#filtering-media-pages)

A media holder request may have optional date, category and tag filters, which are extendable by developers.

The following on the media holder template allows a user to select a date, and then see media pages for and prior to that date:

```
$DateFilterForm
```

It is also possible to represent the date in a `year/month/day/media` URL format.

[![URL-formatting](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nglasl/silverstripe-mediawesome/master/client/images/mediawesome-URL-formatting.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nglasl/silverstripe-mediawesome/master/client/images/mediawesome-URL-formatting.png)

### Smart Templating

[](#smart-templating)

Custom media type templates may be defined for your media holder/page:

`MediaHolder_Blog.ss` or `MediaPage_Blog.ss`

Retrieve a specific media page attribute in templates:

```
$Attribute('Author')
```

To see examples, look at the default templates:

`MediaHolder.ss` and `MediaPage.ss`
