Post Navigation: Issue: to show only post in one category: Project: “Product Site”

Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately I updated the SiteOrigin widgets to 1.2.4 and it broke the WP..

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_is_mobile() in /home/tskamath/tsktech.in/wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/widgets/so-slider-widget/so-slider-widget.php on line 167”

Dear Andrew,

ok, I am stuck a bit.. I found a good plugin “post-content-shortcodes” which has two short codes [post-content] and [post-list]..

with pagebuilder -> visual editor when i place

[post-list category =9] works and display. but with [post-content post_name=end-to-end] page fails to load with error

No data received ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
details “Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.”

if I do not use the pagebuilder then both the short codes work.. I have spent some hrs trying to resolve this but failed.. can you pls check the plugin and help me to get the plugin working..

thanks in advance

off topic, but noted here so that when I come to tut stage,i can include all the steps..

Using PHP with page Builder,

I have to use Short Code to get Custom Field on Post had been quite a difficult task as the CFS has many options for field types. Install Plugin “ShortCode Exce PHP” and Add a New Short Code with Name: “get_Fields” and in the code area enter the code below.

The Usage is [get_Fields arg=”Custom_Field_Slug”] will return the Value in the Custom_Field_Slug. If Error then the Error is also displayed.. details of the code at http://tskamath.pactindia.net/technology/wordpress/shortcode-get-custom-field/

Hi, while on this, when I was looking at the archive.php, i notice the follwoing

<header class="page-header">
			<h1 id="page-title"><?php echo vantage_get_archive_title() ?></h1>

Fortunately no error show up, but from my newbie on PHP should this not be <?php echo vantage_get_archive_title()< ; ?> ??

I am not sure but Pls Revert on this..

<header class="page-header">
			<h1 id="page-title"><?php echo vantage_get_archive_title(); ?></h1>

the code in the file is is not missing the “; ” at the end for the echo ie ..?

Ok I progressed and reach a level where I can move the site to Hosted Domain.. http://www.tsktech.in

I have a few question, before that let me explain the workflow..

The website is built using the PageBuilder. but also uses the following pages in the theme

archive-cameratypes.php –> archive.php
taxonomy.php –> archive.php
content-cameratypes.php –> content.php
edited copy of content.php in theme folder
functions.php –> modified in Theme Folder
single-cameratypes.php –> single.php pointing to content-camaratypes.php instead for content-single.php

the edit to pages are minimal to insert codes.

<!-- tsk edit -->
/* edited into content-cameratypes.php and also content with additions if condition if ('camera-types' == get_post_type()) { ?> */
<div class="tsk-taxonomies"> 
	<div class="tsk-ip-ratings">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'ip_ratings', 'Camera IP Ratings: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
	<div class="tsk-applications">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'applications', 'Suggested Applications for the Camera: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>

and some H1 Page-Title changes in the other pages and the following in taxomoy.php

<h1 id="page-title"> <!-- tsk edit -->
				<!-- <?php echo vantage_get_archive_title() ?> -->
				<?php 
					$current_term = get_queried_object();
					$taxonomy = get_taxonomy($current_term->taxonomy);
					echo $taxonomy->label . ': ', $current_term->name;
				?> <!-- tsk edit -->
			</h1>

and I am using the following plugin’s

a) CPT UI to insert some
Custom Post Type
– CameraTypes
and Taxonomy
– ip_ratings
– applications

b) “Custom Field Suite” for the Custom Field and the Data from the Custom Field are pulled using shortcode using “ShortCode Exce PHP” (as illustrated earlier in the post above)

I have the following question ( I am bit run down.. hence cheating to get help from you guys :-( sorry ) ..

1. the content-single.php default in the theme does not pick “Posted in” data from Custom Post Types.
— is there any fix for this..? if not how do i disable using css this display in custom post types.. ie single-cameratypes.php without breaking the pagebuilder

2. CSS to Size the Featured images to same size in Blogs Loop widgets –> show as Grid..

3. Not Really your issues, but more of CPT UI and also for further development. How do i prevent the “search’ from searching from Certain Post Types or Certain taxonomy.

4. In PageBuilder I clone the existing Post for New Post every time, is there any way I can default this ie when I am creating a new post, the Pagebuilder uses a default Template.

5. any TuT to hack the pagebuilder (opps not hack but customise). related to above para(4).

Pls check the site http://www.tsktech.in/cameratypes

Thanks in Advance..

Guys also require you advise:

Instead of having a content-cameratypes.php –> copy of content.php in the child theme, I can also use the “PHP Code Widget” to insert PHP in the Pagebuilder

// using PHP Code Widget in side Pagebuilder //
<div class="tsk-taxonomies"> 
	<div class="tsk-ip-ratings">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'ip_ratings', 'Camera IP Ratings: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
	<div class="tsk-applications">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'applications', 'Suggested Applications for the Camera: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>

What do you advise

a) Modify the content.php for each Custom Post Type or
b) Just use the Page Builder => add row => add widget “PHP code”

I am clear that edit of of content.php is only one edit (with any modification to be done in this file) and using the PHP Widget is same code repeated in multiple pages, which clearly means that in future each page will have to be edited.

Which bring me back to the question can we have PageBuilder Templates so that we need not clone, and any edit to the Template is applied to all the child pages using the template.

sorry to trouble you.. but I am clear I want to promote the Pagebuilder, but also want to know exactly the limitation and also the future development “PageBuilder”..?

1. the content-single.php default in the theme does not pick “Posted in” data from Custom Post Types.
— is there any fix for this..? if not how do i disable using css this display in custom post types.. ie single-cameratypes.php without breaking the pagebuilder

as we are using the content-single.php customised for each Custom Post type the following code can be commented

<!-- 
<?php if(vantage_get_post_categories()) : ?>
        <div class="entry-categories">
                  <?php echo vantage_get_post_categories() ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>
-->

and insert the links using the following code in the above modified file example “ie single-cameratypes.php”

<!-- tsk edit -->
<div class="tsk-taxonomies"> 
	<div class="tsk-ip-ratings">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'ip_ratings', 'Camera IP Ratting: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
	<div class="tsk-applications">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'applications', 'Suggested Applications for the Camera: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
        <!-- repeat these for the as many taxonomy that you have and want to display -->
        <div class="tsk-applications">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'taxonomy_slug', 'Suggested Applications for the Camera: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>

Part II .. to follow

part III….

// the rest of these code copied from the support link ( listed above) 
add_filter('vantage_post_meta', 'vantage_child_filter_categories');

Hope to get advise..

hello is it working

Still at issue One
The modification in child theme:,
I have made a copy of “single.php” and named it single-cameratypes.php and edited the

	<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'single' ); ?> to 
	<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'camera-types' ); ?>

I have copied the content-single.php and named it content-cameratypes.php and just added the following code (no edits to the file)

<!-- tsk additions -->
	<div class="tsk-taxonomies"> 
	<div class="tsk-ip-ratings">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'ip_ratings', 'Camera IP Ratings: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
	<div class="tsk-applications">
		<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'applications', 'Suggested Applications for the Camera: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
	</div>
</div> <! --- tsk addition -->

Solution Option 1:
If i comment out the following from the contents-cameratypes.php then the “Posted in:” is not shown. I am not sure if this will break anything.

<!-- commented by tsk --
<?php if(vantage_get_post_categories()) : ?>
        <div class="entry-categories">
                  <?php echo vantage_get_post_categories() ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>
-->

Solution Option 2:
after studing your post , it was clear that “get_the_category_list()” would not work with custom post types and only “get_the_term_list()” would get the taxonomy. Hence I modified the code as follows

// in function.php of the child theme //
function vantage_child_filter_categories($meta) {
	// Do what ever we want to the meta here
	// $customPostTaxonomies = get_object_taxonomies('camera_types'); 
	// var_dump( $customPostTaxonomies );
	
       // test if "post" or "Custom Post" //
	if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) {
		$category_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'vantage' ) );
	} else {
                $customPostTaxonomies = get_object_taxonomies('camera_types');
		// $category_list = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'ip_ratings', __('Camera IP Ratting: ', 'vantage'), ', ', '' );
               // change $customPostTaxonomies[x] ->x to the taxonomy you want to display
              $category_list = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, $customPostTaxonomies[0] , __('Camera IP Ratting: ', 'vantage'), ', ', '' );
	}
       <!-- rest of the code as it is -->
     // the rest of these code copied from the support link ( listed above) 
}
add_filter('vantage_post_meta', 'vantage_child_filter_categories');

I fully understand, you must be thinking, if by CSS or by Solution 1, if the “Tagged in:” can be hidden, why is this idiot trying more code..

I have started on this project to get a Product Listing Web Site with multiple Taxonomies and many-to-many custom field relationships. I could have used eCommerce plugin’s but almost all of them breaks Pagebuilder, hence using the powerful pagebuilder I am going ahead. hence some of the question is for understanding the theme and vantage filters / actions., in this case the solution 2. Hope you understand and help.

do you want me to create a admin login for you on the site..?

Dear Andrew,

It clear to me what the issues is:

Vantage Theme does not check if the the post type is “Custom Post Type” while executing “vantage_get_post_categories()”.

This is Necessary because “get_post_categories()” work only on the Post Type = “post” and not custom Post Types, we require “get_the_term_list()” instead of “get_post_categories()”

Maybe in the future updates of the vantage Theme, you could include the above conditional test in content-single.php and also provide a function “vantage_get_custompost_terms” to maintain the theme design for all the post types.

In view of the above, We can close Issue One because it’s more of wish list than a issue now.

added for ref. for other who visit.. if you want to include a default taxonomy for your custom post type, use the following code
