Hi,
I have been using Tagdiv newspaper for 2 years now and have bought 2 licenses for both of my website. In one of my websites, I need a provision for authors to add shortcode before the Title. Cant use an external Shortcode element as it is static. My shortcode will vary with each post, hence need a way to add an element in the layout via composer. And, whenever we write an article, we should be able to add different shortcode.
How can I achieve that pls?
Hello,
With tagDiv Composer, you can make a cloud template, and a single cloud template applies to all the posts it is assigned to.
Therefore, if you want to put the shortcode before the title and it differs from one post to another, then you need to make a single post template for each post that has a different shortcode.
The best solution would be to put these shortcodes in the content of the post after the title.
Thank you!
Can you tell me where exactly (which folder) these blank templates are saved into?
I am trying to figure it out but no avail. I found all the predefined template are saved under Plugin-> Tagdiv Standard PLugin -> Newspaper -> parts -> Single
But I am not able to figure out where exactly this blank template file is being saved.
Hello,
The blank pages (cloud templates) are saved/store in the database. Those have a different structure from the rest of the normal templates. For cloud templates, the theme has individual PHP files for each element and using tagDiv composer and tagDiv Cloud Library those can be set together.
Thank you!
Hi Anamaria,
I appreciate your quick response. Based on your reply, I have few more queries:
Let’s say I have imported blank template from Cloud LIbrary. Then using Composer, I have designed it and set all my header, blocks etc etc. Named as it “Roller”
Then I want to add a code in that blank page template after the Title. This unique code can’t be added from the composer element, I need to add that PHP code manually in that blank page template file.
Can you tell me which file do I need to access and made changes pls?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
In this path are the all single post templates => wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/shortcodes/single and the file where is the single post title is here wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/state/single/tdb_state_single.php => https://i.imgur.com/eThibEr.png
Thank you!
Thanks for the response Anamaria, appreciate it!
Let’s say if I want to change that cloud library Blank page code a bit, can I make use of the child theme concept? If yes, what should be the path of these files? can you pls explain the way it’s explained for the standard template child theme here => https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hello,
If you use Cloud Library, these templates can’t be set in the child theme. Child Theme uses the standard templates.
If you have the right skills, maybe you can achieve that, but for this, you need to have very good programming skills. For the moment we don’t have a solution for this, because the cloud templates are made so that you can make changes using tagDiv Composer, not in the files of the theme.
Unfortunately, implementations and customizations are not covered by support, but if you want you can contact our team our custom work team here: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi Anamaria,
I am sorry to say but looks like with limited customisation options and very few third party integration with Tagdiv Composer, you are falling short in competing with competitors. When you guys launched it around 2 years back situation was different, and now it’s completely different. The market is full with a lot many options like Astra, Divi which are adding features at a much faster rate than your company.
Please don’t take the above as criticism, it’s honest feedback from a client who has been with you for years. Unfortunately, I need to write off one of my investments that I made just few months back in buying one more license of Newspaper. However, in the last few days, while having issues discussed with you, I got a chance to explore and learned that your competitors have taken over and doing a phenomenal job, be it in terms of features, ratings, designing, pre-design layouts or composer or what so ever. The composer doesn’t offer a simple integration of ACF which is being offered by every other composer nowadays.
Anyways, thanks for your time and I am disappointed that despite being too old in the game Newspaper has lagged much behind.
Hello,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We appreciate taking the time to explain your point of view regarding our product and its functionality. We understand that you are not satisfied with the latest updates, but the other products you mentioned go beyond the functionality of a news WordPress theme. One of the aforementioned themes works with a universal page builder used by many other themes as well. In tagDiv Composer, we’ve created the functionality, the pre-built editable templates from the tagDiv Cloud Library, including the PRO demos which are totally customizable from top to bottom – everything is specially built to meet the requirements of a blog, news, magazine, or any other publishing-related websites.
The mentioned products are aimed at different industries and are sold outside the Envato Market, while their functionality and customers’ demands are totally distinct from ours. For example, some themes can be downloaded for free and to get the needed functionality you have to pay for additional plugins.
We have a list of suggestions and features’ requests and each of our updates is based on it. The more requested a feature is, the sooner we can implement it. However, we cannot implement every small feature or add compatibility with all the plugins available. I’m sorry that you feel disappointed.
If you feel that Newspaper doesn’t meet your expectations anymore, we’re really sorry to see you go. We are always here to assist you with your theme.
Thank you for understanding.
