Catalogist turns WordPress into an academic catalog for community and technical colleges. Programs, credentials and courses are entered once as structured information, and every page that shows them stays in sync: change a course's credits and every program map that includes it updates.<\/p>\n\n
All blocks are rendered on the server from your saved information, work with block and classic themes, take their colors and fonts from your theme, and are built to be accessible: keyboard-operable tabs and switches, table captions and headers, and screen-reader announcements in the finders.<\/p>\n\n\n
\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Under Catalogist \u2192 Departments<\/strong>, add your departments and, optionally, their course prefixes.<\/li>\n
- Add courses by hand under Catalogist \u2192 Courses<\/strong>, or import them under Catalogist \u2192 Import Courses<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Create a program under Catalogist \u2192 Programs<\/strong>. In the Credentials<\/strong> panel of the editor sidebar, tick the credentials it offers, then build each one's map.<\/li>\n
- Create a page with the Program Finder<\/strong> block and choose it as the Programs page under Catalogist \u2192 Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nI changed a program map, but the page didn't change.<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe map editor's Done<\/strong> button only closes the editor. Changes are saved when you click Update<\/strong> (or Publish<\/strong>) on the program, the same as any other edit.<\/p><\/dd>\nA course is in the program map, but it doesn't appear on the public page.<\/h3><\/dt>\nCourses that are still drafts are never shown on the public site. Publish the course and it will appear. The map editor lists any unpublished courses in its warnings.<\/p><\/dd>\n
My theme shows \"Written by\" with no name on program pages.<\/h3><\/dt>\nThat line comes from your theme's general template for single posts, which expects an author and categories that programs don't have. In a block theme, go to Appearance \u2192 Editor \u2192 Templates<\/strong>, add a template for \"Single item: Program\", and remove the byline from it. In a classic theme, ask your theme developer, or create a single-catalogist_program.php<\/code> template.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I change a map template after applying it?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes, but changes to a template don't affect maps it was already applied to: applying a template copies its entries, so each program can then be adjusted independently. To start over, choose the template in the map editor and click Remove<\/strong>, then apply it again.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat spreadsheet formats can I import?<\/h3><\/dt>\nCSV and Excel (.xlsx). Older .xls files can be saved as .xlsx or CSV from Excel or Google Sheets first.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can visitors print a program map?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Printing a program page includes every credential and every pathway, whichever tab or pathway is selected on screen.<\/p><\/dd>\n
I updated Catalogist and my Programs page setting is gone.<\/h3><\/dt>\nDeleting the plugin removes its settings, so updating by deleting the old version and installing the new one resets them. To update by hand without losing settings, go to Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/strong> and upload the new zip; WordPress offers to replace the installed version and keeps your settings. Updates through the normal Update now<\/strong> link also keep them. To restore a lost setting, choose your page again under Catalogist \u2192 Settings<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat happens to my content if I delete the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\nBy default, only Catalogist's settings are removed; programs, courses and their departments stay in the database in case you reinstall. To remove everything, turn on Remove content<\/strong> under Catalogist \u2192 Settings<\/strong> before deleting the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Initial release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Publish your college's programs and courses: semester-by-semester program maps, pathways, prerequisites, and searchable program and course finders.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/379715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379715"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/russtino"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=379715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=379715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=379715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=379715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=379715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
