The front end view depends a lot on your theme. We try to make our output as minimal as possible and blend into the theme, but sometimes it really needs custom adjustments. Would you mind sending me the link to your front end page with ShiftController? Perhaps it would be the best if you can send it through our support desk at [plainware.com](https://www.plainware.com/support/?a=add&category=2). Looking forward to your feedback. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Front end view previous and Next](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-view-previous-and-next/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-view-previous-and-next/#post-18249135) * Hello, currently there’re no specific ids for those links but you can style them with the following tweak: * ``` .hc-app-container .hc-col-1-2 > a.hc-align-center { border: #ccc 1px solid; padding: .5em 1em } ``` - This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Reminders Are The Wrong Period?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reminders-are-the-wrong-period/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reminders-are-the-wrong-period/#post-18059817) * Hello, thank you for your feedback! I’m afraid this might be a confusion. These email subjects are configurable. The weekly notifications are always for the next week regarding the reference date. And the default email subject reads “ Next Week Shifts: {DATELABEL}” where {DATELABEL} is replaced with the actual dates like “13 – 19 Oct 2024”. So this “Your Castings THIS WEEK” is a custom label that was set in ShiftController, Administration, Reminders, Edit Templates. You can probably replace “THIS WEEK” to “for the following week:” or remove it altogether to avoid confusion. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Locatoraid Store Locator] Something is wrong with the distance](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/something-is-wrong-with-the-distance/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/something-is-wrong-with-the-distance/#post-18045739) * Hello, thank you for your feedback. Our plugin calculates the mathematical distance as a direct line between two points, while the Google maps provide you with the distance on the automobile or pedestrian roads. The latter is certainly longer. Why we don’t calculate the real distance along the roads? We do this for speed– a search request may return hundreds of results. It may take a second to calculate the road distance from A to B, but it’ll have a significant delay if we have multiple results. It will also require more API requests from your site to the Google Maps that will result in higher expenses. * So, to sum it up: if we need to get the exact distance along the roads, we should ask the Google maps to build the route between the point A (the search request) to points B1, B2, B3 … B100 … B1000 etc (our locations from the locator database). So we would need to send 100s of API requests to the Google Maps on this one locator request which will take time and money. With the current mathematical approach, we simply ask the Google Maps about the geo coordinates of the point A, then we calculate the mathematical distance between these coordinates of the point A, and the coordinates of our locations B1, B2 … which are already known since you already geocoded them. It’s a simple and quick function. Although its result is shorter than the real car trip, it still allows to rank the results by distance less or more close to reality. * I hope it helps! * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Unusable vero slow](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unusable-vero-slow/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unusable-vero-slow/#post-17841415) * Hello, in version 4.6.60 we’ve implemented a few optimization changes that reduced the number of database queries, I hope it’ll help. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Too too slow](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-too-slow-2/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-too-slow-2/#post-17841414) * Hello, in version 4.6.60 we’ve implemented a few optimization changes that reduced the number of database queries, I hope it’ll help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Too too slow](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-too-slow/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-too-slow/#post-17841412) * Hello, in version 4.6.60 we’ve implemented a few optimization changes that reduced the number of database queries, I hope it’ll help. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Unusable vero slow](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unusable-vero-slow/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unusable-vero-slow/#post-17827467) * Thank you very much for your feedback! I’m really sorry for the issue. With the current version there can be speed issues if there are a LOT of calendars, like more than 50. For the moment we can only suggest to reorganize the structure of the data, perhaps merge several calendars into one. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Too too slow](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-too-slow-2/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-too-slow-2/#post-17827465) * Thank you very much for your feedback!

Currently your web page has the following error: * Google Maps JavaScript API error: BillingNotEnabledMapError * That means that you need to provide your billing details (a creadit card or something) at Google Console control panel (where you configured the Maps API key). They provide $200 USD free credit each month that is enough for most small and medium websites, but anyway still require the billing details. This error isn’t related specifically to our plugin, any application dealing with Google Maps requires the same configuration. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plain Tracker] Plugin Integration](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-integration-11/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-integration-11/#post-17825926) * Hello, thank you very much for your feedback, I’m really sorry for not replying sooner. At the moment those do not integrate with each other, but integration development is in the nearest plans! Most probably, it will be possible to use shifts from ShiftController as templates for time cards. Also we plan clock-in/ out functionality for Plain Tracker, and probably it could also connect with ShiftController somehow. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Edit Columns in frontend](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-columns-in-frontend/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-columns-in-frontend/#post-17392766) * Hello Dominik, thank you for your feedback! I’m not sure if I completely understood your question. Do you mean to make the day columns wider? By default, our schedule view extends to the full width it has, so it greatly depends on your current theme. You can probably adjust your theme settings so on this particular page the content is 100% wide rather than taking a fraction of the available width. Or alternatively you can switch to the list view so all the shift information will be completely visible almost in any front end design. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ShiftController Employee Shift Scheduling] Reminders for Time Off](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reminders-for-time-off/) * Plugin Author [plainware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainware/) * (@plainware) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reminders-for-time-off/#post-17095295) * Hello, thank you for your feedback!
