I would like to share with everyone a list with some requests that I would like to see in future updates. This theme is in every aspect amazing but there is still room for improvement. Here it goes:
* WYSIWYG on the ads manager: It is hard and time consuming to put ads there, especially if you are making a website to a customer
* Sidebar manager: Would be nice to be able to create sidebars easier. Right now one can only do that when editing/creating a page
* Placing sidebars on the top of the page: The main purpose of this is of course to be able to place ads on the very top of the page. I had to edit the php of my child theme for this. Would be amazing if you could include this in your ad manager
* Custom blocks: I don’t know if this is possible but it would be a dream to be able to easily build a block. The templates you offer are great but some customers have really specific tastes and in my case I had to customize php on two blocks
Feel free to leave your comments and/or requests. Sure does not mean we are demanding these features but it can be a great way for tagdiv to see what we are searching for.
Cheers!
Hi,
I have added your requests on our suggestions list and the developers will take a look at your suggestion and maybe some features will be implemented in future.
Please provide more details about WYSIWYG on the ads manager. Do you mean to preview the post containing the ads? If this is what you mean, I guess it is not so easy to implement as the theme has many post templates and the format is different.
Regarding the custom blocks you can use the Api plugin to create new modules/blocks – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/ please note that it is for advanced users.
Thanks!
That’s great! 🙂
About WYSIWYG, I meant more like an upload button to insert the image/video ad in the ad box instead of one has to get the file url and paste it there. Perhaps I used the wrong name.
About the creation of our own blocks, like I said, don’t know if that is possible but it would be nice to have a builder like Visual Composer. I have seen this on Magento themes where one inserts a widget and by drag n’ drop one can define which elements should be in the widget. Black & White theme for Magento has this feature.
Perhaps these things would need be separated plugins one can buy and add to the Newspapper theme?
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have such an option and I don’t know any plugin that may help you, sorry!
Thanks!
Well, that is why I am suggesting it 😉
I would like to make a new and very important request:
* Offer a solution for sticky posts! for more info read this https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/show-a-block-only-when-it-has-news/#post-72867 or this https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/sticky-posts-2/
