EDIT: So I found in the FAQ to use sort=”8″ in my shortcode with 8 being the correct filed ID. This doesn’t sort the list. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?

Even if we resolve that, what I’m hoping for is to be able to make each region a header with the items listed under it rather than a table where the region is listed every time.

My test version of this isn’t live but here’s a capture of 4 items added via GF to the directory: http://awesomescreenshot.com/056qu0773

Note that the 2 Seattle entires are not together which is what I would expect a SORT to do. I’d also expect them to be alphabetical by Region since that’s the field I sorted on.

Still having some challenges. First, I followed the suggestion in the video and made the form post submission a draft. I get the thank you message for submitting it in the form entry lists as a form entry. But I’m not yet understanding how this becomes a POST. The title is setup as a post type. But it does not show up as a draft in posts nor do I see any way to make it one. I DO see in the Custom Post Types UI interface that I have 2 “drafts” but no way to access them.

Thanks Brad. The form is at the bottom of the link in my OP: http://sheilabender.com/community/local-readings

Never having done this before I was missing the point of taxonomies. I had made each item it’s own separate taxonomy! But I just watched another video and I think I’ve got it. I had to make the umbrella Reading Regions hierarchical and then create the rest as categories of that taxonomy! DUH! So they’re showing up now. YEAH! I just need to figure out why the label I made saying Select a Region isn’t displaying. It just says “Select a”. I need to test the form and figure out how to get the results to embed in the listing. Then this form will be added elsewhere.

Thanks so much. Sheila

It goes in your CSS. You can put it in the mingle forum css, your general css or a custom css which is what I do so that it won’t get overwritten during any updates.

I just read the readme.txt and apparently this is a new “feature”! It says “Form appears on category view at top of page”. SO…how can I turn this OFF? I don’t see that option.

OH…I see…you mean drop the WORD “return”. I’ve now tried it with and without the word and also with and without the semicolon which you had and I did not. I’ve also gotten advice form Headway Themes (my framework) to try it in custom functions instead of in the Easy Hooks. So far nothing has fixed the issue. Can you see if their code needs tweaking that might work in functions?

PHP:
———
function post_author_meta() {
global $post ?>
Written on <?php the_date(); ?> by <?php return coauthors_posts_links(); ?> <?php } add_action(‘headway_after_post_title’,’post_author_meta’);
———

OK, so no help with the above formatting…no worries. Now I have a bigger “fish to fry”. I have Co-Authors working properly. I’ve just added a premium membership plug-in called DAP (Digital Access Pass). I’ve just discovered that while Co-Authors still work fine for unprotected pages and when logged in, there’s a problem with the code in the hook when not logged in.

You can go here: http://wir.hoffmangraphics.com/a-free-range-writer and see the error which basically is this….

, and

As you can see it’s trying to list the 2 authors but instead rendering an error. I’m putting the co-author code in a hook for before featured/single post content. This is what it is.
Written on <?php the_date(); ?> by <?php return coauthors_posts_links()?>

Any clues how I can work around this? I really need the Co-Authors AND I really need the membership protection too. My ass is grass if I can’t make them play nice together.

I hope someone can help.
