Search Results for 'block'

Thank you for your reply. I am in no need for yet another plugin. Since I managed to alter code myself, I can live with that until some future update encorporate this functionality.

However I would like if possible to know what php files can be overriden through the child theme and which cannot.

For example the Newspaper->includes->wp_booster->td_block.php does not affect anything if placed inside the child theme, unfortunatelly it has to be changed inside the main theme only.

So what folders/files can we change in child theme without fear of overwites on the main theme?

Thank you

Hi Emil,

Thanks for your reply. We’ve looked at solution 1…manually setting the parameters used by the render method. But the problem is that the query is created in the td_data_source->shortcode_to_args() function which takes the $atts array and creates the query. That function does not support custom taxonomies.

And as far as we can tell, its not possible to override the td_block and td_data_source files in a child theme. It would be nice if we could pass in extra query filters via $atts which td_data_source->shortcode_to_args() would then add to the generated query.

OR allow us to override td_block and td_data_source 🙂

Hi

The theme’s share buttons are available only for posts so basically this is the only way to do this. After you create the posts you can filter them by id in a specific block or on a specific page as we added in current theme version available on themeforest post ID filter: http://screencast.com/t/EtMvUNIR

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi

You can change the post title style in blocks from theme panel > theme fonts http://screencast.com/t/iWhViMQirB – http://screencast.com/t/xHXbBjAUfn3j

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi

When an image it’s uploaded WordPress generate new images for each thumb size used by the theme. For example block 3 use a 300×160 px thumb for image, but when you add the block on page the image used is your-image-name-300x160.jpg not the original image that was uploaded in media files.

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi

VC css refers only at the elements built in the plugin, for example tabs, buttons etc. All elements added by the theme, like blocks and grids have theirs css in main css file of the theme, that’s why the layout isn’t affected. If you remove the css from pages some issues may appear if you decide to use any of VC built in elements.

Thanks!

Hmmmm I tried that but it doesn’t work…. On my home page, I am using one instance of block 13 and it doesn’t render as it should in its example. The item shows a photo of a fish in yellow sauce on the far right column, underneath the calendar.

Any other advice?

Thank you very much.

For some reason when I tried on a different computer, I could get the visual composer to work. But now I’m having trouble getting the “Big Grid Slide” to work like it did before. I would like to to show up to eight posts, but it only shows the first four and when it scrolls, the next block of four is blank.

That’s a shame. Custom taxonomies are commonly used for categorising posts and its something we make heavy use of on our site.

What about the possibility of allowing the block query to be modified before the query is run? i.e. allow us to pass in values to parent::render($atts) which modify the query.

Right now we have an ugly hack in place where we run our own query right after the block query executes and then we use the result of our query to pass to the modules. But obviously this is very inefficient!

I managed to make a fix, but I don’t know if it is recommended

at Newspaper->includes->wp_booster->td_block.php
at line 74

I managed to fix this by replacing this code

$td_categories = get_categories(array(
	'include' => $td_ajax_filter_ids,
	'exclude' => '1',
	'number' => 100, //limit the number of categories shown in the drop down
));
foreach ($td_categories as $td_category) {
	$td_pull_down_items []= array (
		'name' => $td_category->name,
		'id' => $td_category->cat_ID,
	);
}

with this

$token = strtok($td_ajax_filter_ids, ", ");
while ($token !== false){
	$td_categories = get_categories(array(
		'include' => $token,
		'exclude' => '1',
		'number' => 100, //limit the number of categories shown in the drop down
	));
	foreach ($td_categories as $td_category) {
		$td_pull_down_items []= array (
			'name' => $td_category->name,
			'id' => $td_category->cat_ID,
		);
	}
	$token = strtok(", ");
}

As I see there are certain sorting options for sorting categories based on wordpress get_categories function…

The only approach I managed to follow was tokenize each entry in the list and then, produce isolated result for each entry, thus produce result sorted by the order in which the IDs were typed.

I would like to know if there is some better approach to this, without changing too much of the original template.

Yet it would also be more than welcome to get an official fix for that from the template itself, so we don’t have to update that code whenever new template version is up.

Thank you
