In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] create custom fieldsI’m sorry, but even with that last post you’re still not clearly defining what it is you want to accomplish. I’m doing my best to try and intuit what your requirements are but I need you to elaborate as much as you can.
What is the connection you’re referring to?
What do the customized fields need to be (do you mean custom fields like you would find on a regular WordPress post or page)?
How do these custom fields affect the way the plugin acts?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] create custom fieldsCustom fields aren’t currently supported by the post type, but they can be easily turned if there’s an interest in using them. As for sorting or setting rules, I’m going to guess you’re asking for the archive/category pages? These are exactly like regular post or page categories, so you can modify the templates in any way you could for a regular post type.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] New 500 errorI’m sorry, I’ve done that twice now (used code that’s fine in newer versions of PHP but not backwards compatible); going forward I need to set up a test environment running an older copy of PHP so I can catch myself on it.
I’ll release a hotfix for it this morning that should allow you to re-install the plugin without receiving that error.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Can't fix or deleteLet me know what you find! I hope the plugin works for you, but if for any reason it doesn’t, knowing what your experience was will help me improve it for everyone.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] These are my suggested for the pluginI like number one, and something to that effect is in the works.
I’m not quite following on number two, what do the parentonly and parentchild attributes refer to?
I appreciate your feedback, I’ve bookmarked this list for reference!

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] create custom fieldsI’m sorry, perhaps you could clarify a little more on what you’re attempting to accomplish. Are you trying to sort the directory listings by an arbitrary date, or the date they were added?

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Can't fix or deleteThere’s a bug in 0.7.2’s uninstall that was supposed to have been fixed when I bumped it, but for whatever reason it was missed.
To uninstall, use the option on the Settings screen.
At the bottom of the screen when viewing the General settings tab (the first tab) of the directory settings, there’s a checkbox to uninstall data, meant for debugging. Use this if you need to reset the plugin for any reason, as it will clear out any saved information (including posts, settings, etc). This will delete all your listings, please backup your database first!To explain the changes of the address fields; I had to find a way to make the addresses international friendly that didn’t involve writing or including a huge library to handle all the various possibilities. A lot of countries use a fairly similar structure, and you can just change the labels for things to match up (postal code vs zip code for example). However some don’t require a locality or subdivision. Some places don’t have states or provinces, at all.
I reduced the fields to two main address fields where you can enter line one as you would on any form, and you can use line two to format the subdivision/locality however your country chooses. After that there’s a field for the postal/zip code because everyone has a form of this, and then of course the country field.
All of this should have been upgraded from the original format to the new. I tested the upgrade quite a few times to make sure it was error free, but I’ll go run a few more tests on it to see if I missed something.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Category : all categoriesThat sounds like it would be doable. I have added your request to my list of possible features, and I’ll see what I can do for you!

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Sidebar with the extentionThe template files allow you to do this directly. Since you can copy them from
/<the-plugin>/templates/*to/<your-theme>/lddlite_templates/*it isn’t the same as editing a core plugin file, so you’re free to change these as you see fit in order to better integrate them with your theme. You can remove elements, add elements, reorder them, etc.There will be documentation for helping with this in the very near future. I’m working on launching a web site for the plugin by the end of next week.

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] link to a category listThis can’t be done easily with LDD Business Directory, and by not easily I mean there would be coding involved to make it happen.
Have you seen the ldd directory lite plugin? It may work better for you if you need to link to specific categories or listings on your site. Each category has it’s own permalink that you can use for this purpose.
There’s a
wpbitly_allowed_post_statusfilter in the development branch that will be available for use in the next release. I’ll post back here with instructions on how to use it when I ship the next version, and until then I’m going to sticky this as a reminder for myself.WP Bitly deactivates Jetpack so that the two don’t compete; it’s assumed that if you install WP Bitly side by side with Jetpack it’s intended to be the priority shortlink generator (as it does nothing else).
You could experiment with editing the array of allowed post types. If you open
/wp-bitly/includes/functions.phpand go to line 111, you’ll see:if (!in_array(get_post_type($post_id), $wpbitly->get_option('post_types')) || !in_array(get_post_status($post_id), array('publish', 'future', 'private'))) return;Change it to the following:
if (!in_array(get_post_type($post_id), $wpbitly->get_option('post_types')) || !in_array(get_post_status($post_id), array('publish', 'draft', 'future', 'private'))) return;If that does what you want, I’ll add a filter to the code so you can modify the list of allowed post status’ from your themes
functions.phpinstead of editing the plugin directly.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Directory disappeared with newest upgradeIf you get a chance, you should give 0.7.2-beta a try, I think you’ll find a lot of these issues should be fixed!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] error0.7.2-beta should be available shortly. This will fix the issue and should let you run the plugin.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask your host about upgrading PHP. I’ll make sure I’m more aware of backwards compatibility regardless, but it’s never a bad idea to keep them on their toes with software upgrades!
