Ok, that would be great.
I was hoping to use this kind of feature with wpdm-archive to allow the users to see the results of their searches in either a simple table/list form or alternatively a grid view that would be bigger but be able to show more text elements.
Enabling them to swap between views at the click of a button, or drop down selection, would be a great feature for user experience.
Cheers.
Ah!
Ok, I was confused there, I thought that the plugin was not installed as I was looking for it by its name “Directory”.
I see that now that it is actually called “Archive Page” in the plugins list.
Thanks again for your help.
Interesting.
So I don’t need to have the Directory Add-On installed in order to use [wpdm-archive]
?
Can I make use of this shortcode in other areas of the site as well, or have you made a specific fix?
Also, would installing the Directory Add-On now create problems? Should I avoid doing this, or is it ok for me to install it?
Thanks again for your advice.
Ah, ok.
I do not have the Directory Add-on installed. It was installed at an earlier time presumably and has been removed at some point.
If I re-install the Directory Add-on now will that resolve the issue? Or would you recommend another course of action?
Thanks
Ok, I see you have truncated the text now instead with a fixed height which works to stabilise the grid, but is not exactly what I was after.
I will have to presume there is no better straightforward solution.
– this will be workabkle.
Thanks again, your time much appreciated.
Hi Shaon
Thanks, but this isn’t a solution to the problem though as fixing the height stops the templates being responsive to screen width changes and leads to the text flowing over the borders..
Is there a way to keep them responsive, allowing the height to change with screen width, and also fix the initial glitch?
If you can solve this it would be much appreciated.
Ah! That’s great thanks.
Is there an online reference where I can find these, and others that are available, as I searched your site but nothing came up?
Yes, I see the same, all seems calm now, though there has definitely been a problem associated with this in the past.
Perhaps new software versions and the heartbeat plugin have overcome the problem?
I will keep an eye on things in case there is something more specific that acts as a trigger.
Thanks for your time, much appreciated.
Hi there
I have been experiencing a similar, though not quite as serious issue with a large spike in ajax requests.
Did you find some connection to the link-template feature as this is something I am using as well?
Would be good to hear if there was some resolution or advice you can give about this.
Thanks
Andy
Fair enough!
If anybody comes across this thread with a similar question I have found that this plugin works to do the job, where a couple of others failed –
Thanks for looking at this.
Well, I see you have used order=”asc”, which does find the first six packages, though that was not the problem!
– it was using “desc” as in the shortcode I listed above where things went awol.
Its all good though as it got me digging deeper and I have worked out that I had some access settings not properly specified on a number of the packages which was “disappearing” them from the listing. By re-entering the access details properly all is fixed, including the Archive table.
Thanks again for your time – much appreciated.
Andy
Unofficial response, but as I’m hanging around waiting for my own answer here I may as well try and help …(!)
paging=”0″
This does it for me, just add to your shortcode and see if it works for you.
Great, all working now – thanks!
Thanks for this.
I can get it working for new input.
There is a problem when anything is edited though as it resets the value to nothing, with the value=""
statement.
I presume I need a construct similar to this one (for the version number field) to facilitate editing
value="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'__wpdm_version',true); ?>"
This is the PHP given for my custom fields group (called “Details”)
<?php echo wpdm_acf::acf_group([ID],'Details'); ?>
I presume this will allow me to do a similar editing job if I can insert it correctly into the value=… statement of the preceding construct, but unfortunately I don’t have the coding skills to work this out myself.
Do advise me on this as I need editing to work to make the whole fix viable.
Your time much appreciated.
Andy
HI there
Thanks for taking the time to try and resolve this.
Yes I have put in a request to PeepSo also.
In the mean time for the benefit of anyone else who may come across this thread with a similar problem –
I have found a solution for now via the free “Plugin Organizer” plugin, which can be used to deactivate specific plugins on specific pages and thereby avoid conflicts.
Thanks for this.
Though I see the review stars are displaying in black.
– is this correct? Is there a simple way to get them to display in the yellow/gold colour?
I also find I have a problem with this shortcode from the Review Add-on
[rating_stars]
I have placed it into a link template that otherwise functions correctly within the Directory Add-on to produce a table of results via the shortcode –
[wpdm-archive cat_view=”compact” button_style=”default” link_template=”56fc0d6963a2a” order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
There is just blank space though where the ratings stars should appear.
Here is the entire template code –
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">
[thumb_50x50]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<strong>[page_link]</strong><br/>
<i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-th-large"></i> [file_size] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-download-alt"></i> [download_count] downloads
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
[rating_stars]
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
[categories]
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<em>Created On</em></br>[create_date]
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
[download_link]
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
– I would appreciate some help/ advice on this issue along with my original problem which still persists
Thanks
Andy
