Search Results for 'block'

Hi guys,

I really wanted to show ‘related articles’ and ‘more from author’ on post page separately. I managed to do this with a little help of the support team. I’m sharing this, because I think it is a nice extra feature.

In the theme option panel you can enable/disable the ‘related article’ module which contains both ‘related articles’ and ‘more from author’. In my case I didn’t want to display ‘more from author’ on posts written by user ‘redactie’, because he is the redactor and 90% of my sites post are written by him. I just wanted to show ‘related articles’ on posts written by user ‘redactie’:

Because my website has a category called ‘expert blogs’ which contains posts that are written by doctors, I wanted to only display ‘more from author’ on posts (expert blogs) written by doctors:

All posts written by other users than ‘redactie’ and all posts with other categories than ‘expert blogs’ should still have displayed both ‘related articles’ and ‘more from author’:

Step 1:

Create backup of theme.

Step 2:

Open Newsmag/includes/shortcodes/td_related_posts.php and go to line 30:

$buffy .= '<h4 class="td-related-title">';
            $buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('RELATED ARTICLES') . '</a>';
            $buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('MORE FROM AUTHOR') . '</a>';
        $buffy .= '</h4>';

Step 3:

Add $post_cat = get_the_category(); to store the category of the post which contains the ‘related article’ module. The code will be:

$post_cat = get_the_category(); 
        $buffy .= '<h4 class="td-related-title">';
            $buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('RELATED ARTICLES') . '</a>';
            $buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('MORE FROM AUTHOR') . '</a>';
        $buffy .= '</h4>';

Step 4:

Place

Related articles:

$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('RELATED ARTICLES') . '</a>';

AND

More from author:

$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('MORE FROM AUTHOR') . '</a>';

into conditions. In my case:

If author of post is ‘redactie’, only display ‘related articles’:

if (strtolower(get_the_author_meta('display_name', $this->post->post_author)) == 'redactie') {
				$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('RELATED ARTICLES') . '</a>';
			} 

If category of post is ‘expert blogs’, only display ‘more from author’:

elseif (strtolower($post_cat[0]->cat_name) == 'expert blogs') {			
				$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('MORE FROM AUTHOR') . '</a>';
			}

In all other cases, display as normal both ‘related articles’ and ‘more from author’:

else {
				$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('RELATED ARTICLES') . '</a>';
				$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('MORE FROM AUTHOR') . '</a>';
			}

Step 5:

Save and close file.

Step 6:

Open Newsmag/includes/modules/td_module_single.php and go to line 731:

$td_block_args = array (
            'limit' => $td_related_limit,
            'ajax_pagination' => 'next_prev',
            'live_filter' => $td_related_ajax_filter_type,  //live atts - this is the default setting for this block
            'td_ajax_filter_type' => 'td_custom_related', //this filter type can overwrite the live filter @see
            'class' => $td_related_class
        );

Step 7:

Add $post_cat = get_the_category(); to store the category of the post which contains the ‘related article’ module. The code will be:

$post_cat = get_the_category();
         $td_block_args = array (
            'limit' => $td_related_limit,
            'ajax_pagination' => 'next_prev',
            'live_filter' => $td_related_ajax_filter_type,  //live atts - this is the default setting for this block
            'td_ajax_filter_type' => 'td_custom_related', //this filter type can overwrite the live filter @see
            'class' => $td_related_class
        );

Step 8:

Add condition to display ‘expert blogs’ posts by default when only ‘more from author’ is displayed. If you don’t add this condition, ‘related articles’ posts will be displayed by default and you will have to press ‘MORE FROM AUTHOR’ switch manually to load the relevant posts:

if ((strtolower($post_cat[0]->cat_name)) == 'expert blogs') {
			 $td_related_ajax_filter_type = 'cur_post_same_author';
		 }

So in case the posts have ‘expert blogs’ as their category, variable $td_related_ajax_filter_type will be ‘cur_post_same_author’ and the live filter will display ‘more from author’ posts.

Complete code will be:

$post_cat = get_the_category();
		 if ((strtolower($post_cat[0]->cat_name)) == 'expert blogs') {
			 $td_related_ajax_filter_type = 'cur_post_same_author';
		 }
		 
         $td_block_args = array (
            'limit' => $td_related_limit,
            'ajax_pagination' => 'next_prev',
            'live_filter' => $td_related_ajax_filter_type,  //live atts - this is the default setting for this block
            'td_ajax_filter_type' => 'td_custom_related', //this filter type can overwrite the live filter @see
            'class' => $td_related_class
        );

Step 9:

Save (in child theme /modules folder, in case you use child theme) and close file.

Step 10:

Open style.css (in child theme folder, in case you use child theme) and add following code to fix the corners of the module title background:

.td-related-title .single-item {
  border-radius: 3px;
}

Step 11:

Save file and close.

Step 12:

Reopen Newsmag/includes/shortcodes/td_related_posts.php and go to line 33 and add single-item after class="td-related-left td-cur-simple-item

So it will be:

$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('RELATED ARTICLES') . '</a>';

Step 13:

Go to line 36 and add td-cur-simple-item single-item after class="td-related-right

So it will be:

$buffy .= '<a>block_uid . '" href="#">' . __td('MORE FROM AUTHOR') . '</a>';

Step 14:

Save and close file.

Step 15:

Upload all files to your host and we are done! 🙂

Enjoy…

Hi guys,

I have a problem with infinite scroll and/or load more function.

When I use this and more articles load, 5 of them are the same ones as the ones that were displayed already. This is how the block looks like after pressing load more button once – http://postimg.org/image/ayuo97bh9/

Notice also the dates of the articles. They go from 7th of january to 6th and back to 7th.

Is there anything that can be done about this? Is it a bug or is it something that can be set up?

Hey NewsMag, A very happy new year.

My website running on your theme looks amazing.

Although after the launch today morning , i have a small bug or a problem blocking my work.

My visitors are unable to comment on my posts.
There is one post where the comments section is working , rest the comments box and the author box above the comment section aren’t clickable.

Here is the post where you can comment : Commentable

Here are the links Non-commentable : Can’t click the comment box or the Author Box.

Look this is not clickable.

Here are the settings which i tried for getting it fixed but nothing worked.

1. I selected all the posts and made the comments “allowed”

2. Discussion Settings also i made it open so anyone could come and post comments.

Is there a way to use the TagDiv Slider Gallery in Visual Composer through one of the VC Elements or Blocks?

I tried to follow the Newsmag documentation for pages and create a TagDiv Slider Gallery through a VC Text Element by using Add Media > Gallery. But the drop down menu didn’t have the TagDiv Slider Gallery option.

I want to be able to add a TagDiv Slider Gallery into a page through VC in any location I want.

Thank you. – Any help would be awesome.

Hi! Congrats on the great template. In fact I was going to use Newspaper for my site initially —which I bought a month ago— but then I saw Newsmag and had to change my plans and buy this one too.

I am migrating my site from Joomla, and have everything set but a few things that I really need help, please:

1.- I need to hide author on post (both below title and author box) on some categories. I need most of the categories to show the author, but I need to hide it on two or three.
2.- I loved megamenu, and for it to work properly I had to group some categories in a parent category, but this way my permalink get changed, too long (I’m using the custom option /%category%/%postname%/). So, is there a way to have three or four categories on a megamenu without having to group these categories under one parent?
3.- Little white spaces between Video List and Footer, and between Block 2 (black, sidebar) and Video List –> dev site
4.- The image cropping is not working right. Images on Megamenu are being stretched instead of cropped. Is there a way to crop all images (thumbs) on the template?
5.- I customized date format on the top menu, and other format for blocks, but now I need a third format for posts. how can i do this (Post template style 2)?
6.- I need a sidebar widget (Facebook like box) to not show on screens from 768px to 1023px. And how can I center it on the column when showing?
7.- On 2-columns Slider (homepage), is it possible to not show Views and Comments? And is it possible to change the half-opaque-layer to something like this:

Regards,
Felipe Z.

Hi

I want to resize Image Featured . it works with “Block 3”

http://upic.me/show/54168882

Thanks.

Per your instruction I have placed this in the custom css to have the “To the Top” button appear on my mobile phone, and although you have provided a screenshot, it still does not appear on my phone. I have an Android (Note 3). I am not sure if that matters, but what can I do at this point to get it to appear? Thanks in advance.

@media (max-width: 768px) {
.td-scroll-up-visible {
display: block;
}
}

Hi there,

I have finally made everything I wanted to, apart from archives. They weirdly show only 3 articles per page (which is a setting from homepage VC builder). Am I seriously blind or is there a way to change this?

Alternatively, is there a way to build a homepage using blocks without the need to have the latest articles at the bottom?

Many thanks! 🙂
