The Changelog says “Change: Add new layouts to shortcode output”. I think the new layout looks great overall, but I had been using the fact that the shortcode output included the video and audio. Now that’s gone, I’m wondering if there is some additional way to control this new layout. I’m not seeing a View template file for it :s
Josh, to solve your problem you can add the following CSS to your theme:
#main .wpfc-sermon-image-img { padding-top: 0; }
To add space between the listings, add this CSS:
#main article.wpfc_sermon { margin-bottom: 30px; }
I agree that overall the new layout looks awesome! But we really want the ‘forward’ and ‘back’ navigation back and simply can’t figure it out 🙁
Thanks for the CSS to solve the visual problems 🙂
Hi Josh!
I apologize for the delay – but I am coming with good news!
We have added the previous/next sermon links, which can be used in the development version.
Also, we have fixed the display issue, so there’s no need for custom fix.
To install the development version, please do the following:
- Deactivate and Remove the existing Sermon Manager (no data will be lost)
- Install and Activate the development version
Note: No data will be lost in the process & you will receive future updates normally.
@tsteingard you noticed correctly, the video is not displaying in the new layout. But audio player is – make sure that the checkbox named “Display audio player or video on archive pages” is checked in Sermon Manager settings.
The reason why video is not included is because we are not sure how to add it and to have it look nice. If you have an idea, we are open to suggestions. 🙂
In the settings I only see “Display audio player on archive pages”. Nothing about the video player is mentioned.
I was trying to edit the excerpt myself to get the result I want, but the documentation online isn’t leading me to the correct solution. So, I’ll leave my notes here on what I’m hoping for.
Changes to the new excerpt layout:
• If there is video included with the post, don’t show the series art at all. Video trumps all. Instead, display the video on the left column filling 2/3 of the width, and push the title and description over to fill the right-hand 1/3 of the excerpt. If there is no video, then the current layout makes sense to me.
• I have had feedback from a couple of websites that use WP Sermon Manager where people have said that they need a “read more” style link at the bottom right of the excerpt. Apparently it’s not intuitive for everybody to know to click the title link. In my case, I would personally change the read more text to say, “Access sermon resources, sermon notes, and small group curriculum”, or “Download more sermon notes and curriculum”…but I understand that may not be for everybody, so I may do that in a jQuery tweak. Ideally I’d love to do it in an excerpt template change.
