In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Custom post type 404Hey murtazkhussain,
Sorry to here you’re having issues mate. I’ve only had a handf ull of people have this issue, so it’s a tricky one to pinpoint. There’s one quick way to get Kontrol to make sure all it’s tables and settings are correct is to deactivate it in the WordPress plugin area, then reactive it again in the same spot. This won’t effect any of the post types or fields you’ve already created with Kontrol.
Also what PHP version and server are you running this on?
Cheers,

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Missing from WP repository?Hey Siriusly,
I’m the author of Kontrol 🙂 A few weeks ago WordPress took took the plugin down because of the way Kontrol ‘activated’ when unlocking the full version if you’d bought it and received a serial key.
When unlocking the plugin, it would contact my site (www.kontrolwp.com) and validate your license to see if it was legit, then it would activate the full version of it was. Unfortunately this ‘phoning home’ was a breach of the plugin guidelines which I didn’t realise, so after being up for 5 months they took the plugin down suddenly which was a pretty big shock!
This happened in the middle of me moving houses too, so it was pretty unfortunate timing. I’m currently in the process of coming up with a new way to unlock the plugin that won’t phone home, so hopefully it’ll be back up soon.
In the mean time, you can still grab the plugin from my site http://www.kontrolwp.com
Hope that helps,

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] WPML compatibility questionHey ommunist,
If you want to run WPML and Kontrol side by side, then that shouldn’t be an issue. Kontrol however will only use another localisation language when the main WordPress config file is changed to another language, so it should work fine for other languages if this is the way it is implemented.
I haven’t tested direct integration with WPML at the moment though, so if you do go down that road, I’d love to here your results. If I get enough demand for that, I’ll definitely take a look at implementing it.
Cheers,

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Shortcodes?Hi LuciaRed,
At the moment the plugin is primarily aimed at developers who don’t mind getting dirty with some code and as such there’s no shortcodes for custom fields yet that can be directly included into post content.
It’s not very hard though to implement them through the templates, so I’d really recommend giving them a go by editing the template files and using the get_cf() command to retrieve custom fields, it’s actually pretty easy. Editing templates also allows you a huge amount of flexibility in what you can do with your custom fields that shortcodes could never do also.
We have several examples and code bits on our site http://www.kontrolwp.com that can be used in your templates for a quick start.
Hope that helps,

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Custom post type 404Hey Silverbug,
Since I haven’t heard back for a few weeks, I’m hoping you managed to figure this out. I’ll mark it as resolved now.
Cheers,
Dave.That’s great to hear Lee, enjoy the plugin mate!
Hey Lee,
Ah sorry about your troubles mate. Looks like your server doesn’t have the mcrypt_decrypt module for PHP. I’ve had one other person report this problem and they were running Plesk and just guessing by looking at your path above, you’re running it as well. The module is pretty common, but unfortunately missing from some Plesk installations.
To get you up and running in the mean time, send me an email at david(at)kontrolwp.com and I’ll send you back a file which can activate Kontrol using another method other than mcrypt_decrypt. This should get you by until the next release of Kontrol (still a bit away) which will then overwrite the file I give you and go back to using mcrypt. You might also want to ask your server admin to install the module for you in the mean time, that might also be a quick workaround.
If this problem persists, I’ll look at writing a permanent solution for Plesk users that don’t have the module installed.
Thanks for the kind words too, hope that helps,

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Custom post type 404Hey Silverbug,
404’s on custom post types can sometimes be caused by permalinks not being updated after you’ve moved a site (and sometimes for other reasons). In your WordPress backend, go to Settings -> Permalinks and resave them, then go back to your custom post type and add a new post under it. Click the ‘View’ button once you’ve done this to make sure your getting taken to the correct url for that post type and see if that works.
If you’re still having issues it might be a symptom of something else causing issues. Do a new fresh install of WordPress somewhere else, install Kontrol, create a custom post type and see how it goes then.
Hope that helps mate,

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] in css conflict with wp?Hey zebrastribe,
At the moment I you can restrict access to menu items by setting their permissions, but I don’t believe you can hide the item. I’ll look at this possibility.
As for the wishlist/roadmap. Since 1.0.3 has introduced internationalisation support for the whole plugin, I’d like to see it get fully translated to as many languages as possible. It now has partial support for over 20 languages, but I’d really like to see it get translated for a lot more people who don’t use English as a native language. Danish and Portuguese full translations shouldn’t be to far off!
Other than that, I’m always receiving requests for new features and I generally keep a list of the viable ones. One of the next modules I’d like to introduce is a Form Manager, I feel the current ones for WordPress can be improved a lot, so I’d like to add a complete module for creating/storing/exporting forms. Not sure if it will make the next major release though.
Cheers,

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] in css conflict with wp?This was a developer shortcut that I added in 1.0.3 to allow developers a quick way to access a custom fields key. When developing the front end and using the get_cf() command to retrieve a custom fields value, it provides a quick way for the developer to find and copy a fields key, rather than opening Kontrol back up, going to the custom fields section and finding the group that contains the field key you need.
It should be hidden to most regular users as I can’t imagine many would double click the title for a custom field 🙂
Hope that explains it!

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] in css conflict with wp?Hey Zebrastribe,
Good pick up mate, didn’t notice that. Looks like it was caused by mooRainbow (colour picker css) overwriting the label font with monotype. I’ve pushed a silent update to the WordPress repository, so if you download the plugin again and overwrite your current version, that should fix it and also fix it for any future downloads. I’ll rollout this change to anyone who’s already downloaded Kontrol in the next minor version update which shouldn’t be far off.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Template composer feature requiredHey Mac,
Sorry for the late reply mate, been busy working on the next version! I do like the idea of a visual template editor, but feel that it might be out of the scope of this plugin which is primarily aimed at devs who are comfortable with (and prefer) editing code, rather than using a visual composer which would need to be very advanced in order to accomplish the same thing a dev could by editing code directly (also while making it user friendly).
I do like the idea of a short tag creator though that could enable you to drop in taxonomies and custom field data without using a function such as ‘get_cf()’ in the code that is currently the only way to get data from custom fields on the frontend. I might try and work something like this in a future version, could be useful!
Appreciate the feedback mate!

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Warning after updating re: unserialize columnsHey Calynese,
How’d you get on with this issue? I’ll assume you managed to tackle it successfully since it’s been a while! Let me know if you didn’t.

In reply to: [Kontrol Developer Kit] Warning after updating re: unserialize columnsHey Calynese,
I haven’t received any other support requests for issues with the post columns unfortunately mate. Are you running WP 3.5?
You should be able to configure the columns that show for posts in the Custom Post Types module. When you’re managing the post types here, you can select the columns that you want to show for each post type + rearrange them etc. as seen here – http://s-plugins.wordpress.org/kontrol-developer-kit/assets/screenshot-5.png?rev=648596
Just as a test, set all these columns to the ‘Default Columns’ value, then click the little disk icon next to them to save them. This should revert all your post type columns back to the WP defaults. Now go and see if your posts are showing correctly, if they’re not, then it might be an issue outside of Kontrol. If they are showing correctly, then it might be a Kontrol problem. Customise the post type columns again and take a screen shot of the screen to show me the problem you’re receiving, then email it to me at david(at)kontrolwp.com and I’ll take a closer look.
Goodluck!
Dave.
