Search Results for 'posts loop'

Heya,

First of all, I’m far from the most brilliant guy on tagDiv. If I were, we wouldn’t have spent have a dozen posts correcting my tiny mistakes 😉 I’ll give that title to Chris to avoid favouritism among the actual staff…

Your ideal setup definitely requires some custom work that I don’t have time to provide at the moment. I would go to http://studio.envato.com, as tagDiv recommends — or you could do some learning, just like I did, and do it yourself 😀 But I will make a few comments:

Having content in these tabs that differs from post to post means you’ll either need to make extensive use of custom fields, or you could use Visual Composer settings to build the post itself. The question is what are you using the regular post content for? A comment on the phone, for example?

The first option would mean that you’d insert code similar to what I’ve been giving you, and have it appear on every template, using custom fields to determine the content. For example, as you probably know, ACF has a WYSIWYG editor field that you could use for your review. The buy now would not be as easy to automate through such a field, in my opinion (but you may already have a solution and just be looking for how to use tabs for it?).

The second option is that you’d construct these posts in the editor itself using Visual Composer, and then perhaps use custom shortcodes to display the content of your fields.

Or a real developer might suggest some much more sensible solution. :p

But I will give you one last thing, namely a basic tweak of my above code just for your “Features” tab.

The idea is the same. You’re opening up a vc_tabs, you’re opening up a tab, and then you’re looping through features-related fields. It could look like this, with lots of extra comments and line breaks to make it clear for you:

// Update this list using the same format for all the field names you want
$field_names = ['2g_network', '3g_network'];

// Set up tabs
$to_echo = '[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_tabs]';

// Set up features tab
$to_echo .= '[vc_tab title="Features" tab_id="features"]';

// Begin a list
$to_echo .= '<ul class="features_list">';

// Loop through the fields
foreach ($field_names as $field_name) {
  $data = get_field_object($field_name);

  // Check if we have a value and set to a default if not
  if ($data['value']) {
    $value = $data['value'];
  } else {
    $value = 'No information on record.';
  }

  $to_echo .= '<li>' . '<span class="features_label">' . $data["label"] . ': </span>';
  $to_echo .= '<span class="features_value">' . $value . '</span></li>';

}

// Close the list
$to_echo .= '</ul>';

// Close the tab
$to_echo .= '[/vc_tab]';

// Close the tab group etc.
$to_echo .= '[/vc_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]';

// We have to filter the whole string to make WP interpret the shortcodes
$to_echo = wpb_js_remove_wpautop($to_echo);

// Output
echo $to_echo;

My note above about only needing to change $field_names applies to this as well.

If you were going to put other tabs in, you would modify the lines that open and close the tab groups, and use those in a similar way. I realize that this is just a simple list and not a table like you wanted — more research would be needed for me to construct a way of getting the label of the field group and such…

Hope that helps. I do think what you need isn’t just “support” but custom work, although it will be fantastic if you can figure the rest out by research, trial and error.

Best of luck!

In the following files: loop-single.php, loop-single-1.php, single_template_2.php, single_template_3.php, single_template_4.php, single_template_5.php

Replace
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
with
<?php echo '<a itemprop="author" href="' . get_author_posts_url($post->post_author) . '">' . get_the_author_meta('display_name', $post->post_author) . '</a>';?>

Hope that helps 🙂

Yes, just checked your file and the problem is in the context — you forgot to wrap the new code in a <?php> tag. Hence it’s being treated as HTML. Your whole file should look like this:

<?php

    if (get_post_type($post) == 'post') {
        echo td_page_generator::get_single_breadcrumbs($td_mod_single->title);

The edits are good but they only apply to one of many possible templates your posts can have. Do the exact same code edit (uncommenting the byline) in each of the following files:

loop-single.php, loop-single-1.php, single_template_2.php, single_template_3.php, single_template_4.php, single_template_5.php

And if you want, a similar edit for each of these files in includes/modules (the modules display posts in blocks and archive pages mainly):

td_module_1.php, td_module_2.php, td_module_3.php, td_module_4.php, td_module_5.php, td_module_6.php, td_module_8.php, td_module_9.php, td_module_aj_search.php, and td_module_search.php (if it isn’t already uncommented in that last one).

Happy editing!

I tried to implement as per your instructions. Please check this screenshot it was with the_field.

I don’t know where i am making a mistake. I again changed the code to get_field and it still remains the same. Here you can see it.

Here is the full code of loop-single-1.php in which i am inserting.

I think the code is not executing. Am i placing it in the wrong way?

For problem 2, if you want, you can hack it out of the single template files. What you would do is first make sure you have a child theme set up and activated. (You could do this in the Newspaper them itself, but it would not survive a theme update. Then again, hopefully an update will allow you to disable categories via the panel.)

Then, for each of the following files in the Newspaper theme folder:

loop-single.php, loop-single-1.php, single_template_2.php, single_template_3.php, single_template_4.php, single_template_5.php

Copy and paste them into your child theme folder.

In each one, find the line:

<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_category();?>

and comment it out like this:

<?php // echo $td_mod_single->get_category();?>

Upload the files to your site. Your template files will no longer add the category element to your posts.

Happy editing and hope someone else stops by to help with the other problems!

I didn’t edit the loop_single file but the td_module_blog in /includes/modules/module_modifier/.

I’m still running Newspaper v3.x and not v4 because I didn’t had time to update the theme. I’m running a high traffic site and still don’t have a staging site to update the theme to v4 without interupting traffic :p Anyway, I think the post pages in v4 are still generated by td_module_blog so you should give it a shot!

I don’t know about making custom fields with that plugin, I just followed tagDiv’s recomandations on using that plugin for creating additional custom fields.

When opening td_module_blog.php, look for the line (somewhere around line 600 in my version) that says:

if (empty($hideAuthor)) {

            $buffy .= '<div class="author-box-wrap">';
                $buffy .= '<a itemprop="author" href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' ;
                $buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');
                $buffy .= '</a>';

and add and get_field('customfieldname')

Like this (notice i used ‘show_author’ as custom field name):

if (empty($hideAuthor) and get_field('show_author')) {

            $buffy .= '<div class="author-box-wrap">';
                $buffy .= '<a itemprop="author" href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' ;
                $buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');
                $buffy .= '</a>';

Make sure your theme settings are set to show author. When the custom field for showing author is checked in a certain post the author box will show up. Hope this helps!

In a child theme, copy and edit the single_template_#.php that you’re using for your posts. (Note that for template 1, this is in loop-single-1.php instead.)

Near the top you will find a series of lines like this:

<div class="meta-info">
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_category();?>
                    <?php //echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?>
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_commentsAndViews();?>
                </div>

Try turning them into something like this:

<div class="meta-info">
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_category();?>
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?>
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?>
                    <?php echo get_avatar($post->post_author, '40');?>
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
                    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_commentsAndViews();?>
                </div>

Notes:

1. If you don’t have a child theme yet, you can test this in the theme editor by changing Newspaper’s own files, but make sure you backup the file

2. ’40’ is 40px, the width and height of the avatar image. Change to whatever you want

3. I haven’t tested the get_avatar function with an author ID — in the tagDiv files the parameter is the user email. If it doesn’t load the avatar, replace $post->post_author with get_user_by('id', $post->post_author)->user_email or something similar

4. You can style the avatar and user name to be right aligned by looking at the comments and views css and imitating that. Try echoing a <div> with a class like my_author_meta around those two echo statements, and then style that in the custom CSS panel

Just a thought and not tested. Let me know how it works.

Hm. Not sure; I’d likely use the page builder to make a “page” then set that as your home page, as that also allows you to create custom sidebar for homepage, but keep “blog timeline” layout, but also to add “sections” where you want like a custom box top of page above the new posts where you can put something custom with h1 tag; or even a section below latest posts where you put something with h2 tags. That would be simpler than hacking the home page template where you’d need to drop stuff in above and below the page loops, which are kind of complex due to the various theme options.

If you want to hard code the number of posts shown on a category page and not use the built in function of wordpress, you “might” be able to use visual composer for that but I’ve not done that, or you’d need to modify the category template and manually specify the loop (if you have no idea how to do that, you might need to hire a developer).

Obviously if you only want to show 10 items on the category pages, you would set that from the wordpresss > reading function you’ve already used. 20 is a common number to use, however, and works fine on most websites. Some people do less, some people do more. If your main audience is mobile, obviously 10 is a good number.

Since that function impacts the category pages, you’d then use the visual composer to layout your home page and not be impacted by the “10” settings.

In other words, easier to layout the home page with the theme features, than hack the template for the category pages.

Let’s assume you’re wanting to hide a particular category from the home page.

1. Open up the honmepage “page”.
2. Scroll down past main page information down to the sectioned entitled “Home Page Loop Filter”.
3. You should see “Category Filter” – leave that on All categories.
4. Below this field, you should see “Multiple categories filter:”. You’ll need to list the numbers of all the categories you DO want to show – just exclude the ones you don’t want to see. eg; Say you have 20 categories, and you want to show 19 of them; you want to exclude Category 20….. You’d list 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19…..

You can use this same methodology to exclude certain categories from the various widgets,etc.

If you’re wondering how you can find out a category number from its name, there are a few ways;

1. You can go check out the wp_terms table.
2. You can write your own code to reveal it
3. From the admin panel, go to Posts > catgeories. Mouse over each of the categories, and the URL will have an attribute with a number in it – this number is the associated category number.

NOTE: In my example i listed 1,2,3,..19… In reality, your first Category may well start at 3.
I hope that helps.

hi,

In version 4.0 we have added posts templates : http://screencast.com/t/QhAcLBYffKC
and now we have 6 loop-singe files, each one used to display a post template.
http://screencast.com/t/yLUPBJkYK

loop-single.php is used to display the default template.

————————————–

Now about author box, are you referring to this one: http://screencast.com/t/zP7ivobP

I don’t think you can do this for user Administrator, but is possible for other users.
In order to remove the box just for the some users you need to know their id’s.
take the user id from here: http://screencast.com/t/qMEEZyYuLq

then modify each loop-single .php file -> http://screencast.com/t/EjN5yfCE

then in the td_module_blog.php -> function get_author_box : http://screencast.com/t/wEAc5wbE23

is not easy but can be made.

hope this help.

Thanks for you message.

Offset is set in the visual composer for each module I believe.

You could also modify templates per the WordPress codex info, for the loop and use the offset function as found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

What is the article_bottom_ad? I tried the below and no luck.
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[td_ad_box spot_id=”article_bottom_ad”]’); ?>

This right here is basically what im trying to accomplish:
http://screencast.com/t/r9hhfebNt7d

Moving the 728×90 below <!–nextpage–> shortcode, center pagination, removing the numbers in between the first and last page but keeping the amount there and create the buttons larger. And inserting the pagination above the image.

I would have imagined the ad code would be in loop-single, or if there is a php echo code that can be placed inside there.

*For the time being, I manually placed the ad code in loop-single.php and removed the article_bottom_ad.*
