If you’re reporting a bug or feature request, it’s better if you post it as a github issue in the Organize Series repository (https://github.com/roughsmoothengine/organize-series/issues). It gets into my workflow faster there (I only come to these forums in spurts but monitor my github stuff more frequently).
Ya the problem is that the choice of taxonomy slug when registering the custom taxonomy is more generic which increases the risk of conflict with other plugins that might choose that same slug. That’s not the only issue however, the choice for rewrite slug would also affect permalinks if two plugins share that same rewrite slug and yet that is usually the visual piece in url’s. Organize Series already has facility for modifying the rewrite slug (and query_var) via the Organize Series options page (look for
Series Custom Base). You could try changing that to something else and see if it fixes the conflict (I’m not sure it will though).- This reply was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by Darren Ethier (nerrad).
I do understand it would make your task a lot easier, however, bulk actions isn’t something that I will be adding support for anytime soon (it has been on the “todo” list though). The reason for that is its not as straightforward as it sounds. With series, the logic has to account for what part each post assigned to a series will get, doing this via the native WordPress UI for bulk actions is something I need to work out.
Unfortunately, I don’t have time available right now to add this support.
I’m unable to reproduce, so doesn’t initially sound like a bug in the current version of Organize Series. Whenever something like that disappears from the menu its usually due to a conflict with another plugin/theme that has registered a custom taxonomy with the same slug as Organize Series. To troubleshoot, you may want to begin with temporarily deactivating any plugins you added recently. Then you can move to trying switching themes. I doubt this would be caused by the Genesis Framework (I have that on sites with Organize Series with no problems) but its possible you are using a child theme of Genesis that might cause this as well.
I haven’t been able to reproduce what was described here and I’ve got no further details (which shouldn’t be provided in this thread anyways because its a review). Was hoping there might be something reported as an issue in Github to follow up on but there hasn’t been anything.
okay so from your path that gets saved then, I’m assuming you are on a WordPress install where WordPress is installed in a subdirectory (labelled
blog), is this correct?This sounds like a different issue than what I’ve been fixing then in that the image is never getting saved to the database. It’s possible there’s a conflict with another plugin that interacts with the old WP media uploader. If you look in your database, there should be an
orgseriesicons(with the appropriate prefix for your database, usuallywp_orgseriesicons) table. Do you have that table in your database? Are there entries in it?Where the icon _is_ normally displayed, what is the url structure to the icon?
Hi AndreasPils, sorry about that. Turns out the fix I released in 2.5.5 for series icon introduced another problem with series icon links. I just released 2.5.6 that should squash those issues completely now.
I’m not sure exactly what was going on with the icons in the various reports, but I released a fix in 2.5.4 that is icons related that may or may not fix the issue for you.
This has been fixed since 2.5.3, thanks for the report!
Thanks very much for the excellent review. These are the kind of reviews I find very helpful because you’ve articulated well what works for you and what doesn’t work and where improvements can be made! If you’d like, you can follow up with some suggestions for improvements etc by creating an issue(s) in the Organize Series Github Repository
Thanks again!
I edited my original post because the trolling comment was uncalled for and written out of frustration. My apologies. However your reply is still not helpful.
yes you do have documentation (that covers just basic stuff)
Have you even read the developer documentation? What is it that you find is hard to understand? Help us help you out! Is there something you needed to know that isn’t covered in the documentation? Create an issue to let us know so we can address!
but its extremely hard to first understand inner workings plugin (and unless you do you can’t write fixes, addons, etc)
So you’re saying the fact that we provided a working example of a sample add-on plus some accompanying documentation does not help at all? It’s still “extremely hard“?
Oh really? So the fact that we even provide a robust add-on api for EASILY and QUICKLY creating an add-on for EE4 means things are hardly readable? https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/master/tests/mocks/addons/eea-new-addon
It’s A LOT more helpful to us when instead of generic “this is hard to read” or “this sux” type comments that we get more specific feedback. More specific feedback would be things like:
“I was looking for how to do “x”, but I couldn’t figure out where it was because of “y”.”
or
“The documentation you have about “x” is wrong.”
It’s very demoralizing when collectively as a team we’ve put in tens of thousands of hours into developing and improving a product “see https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/commits/master” to have comments like this left in the wp.org reviews. Comments that give us nothing to work with to actually improve things.
Speaking on my own and not as an EE team member (I have other plugins on wp.org), when I see reviews like this it sadly makes me think twice about even sharing a plugin on WordPress.org because its one thing to get criticism, but getting non-helpful biting criticism like this is just plain annoying and hurtful. I’m definitely not motivated to put more plugins here because of that.
The one thing I hope for, is that if there is another developer reading this review that the links I’ve posted will be helpful to them.
I’m puzzled why as a developer you would not just get the full version from https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core ?
The $280 you quoted is the annual fee for the _everything_ support license which give you access to all the add-ons for EE4 and support.
Also, you may have missed:
– developer.eventespresso.com
and the docs that are found at https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/master/docs (which are removed from the released version)We’re working hard at always improving the code and assisting developers with using it. Some of those improvements can be seen in https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/BETA-4.9-message-activity
We would love to see some more detailed suggestions for improving via issues in our github repo or even some pull requests since you seem to have a good grasp of how our code could be improved.
Organize Series would not be responsible for this. It looks like your site has been compromised in general. There’s lots of sources on the internet that will help you with fixing your hacked site.
