nr. 2 -- Betreff / subject: Guests with one entry
Thank you for this widget. It's very useful. I am using it to display short stories by authors which I have translated into Bulgarian on my site. Some of these author are present by only one short story, and right now, in order to display the short story's title under the authors name as a single list item, I have to manually change the code every time you update. Would it be possible for you to add an option for this in the future versions?

Yes, i'm thinking to add such an option is no problem. But i have some questions: Are the short story titles equal the post titles? Or did use another custom field for that? (Is the custom field name something like "author" and is the custom field value the name of the author?)
Have you already written the code for this?

"Are the short story titles equal the post titles?"
Yes.
"Is the custom field name something like "author" and is the custom field value the name of the author?"
Yes. Field name: "Author"; Field value: "actual-name-of-author".
"Have you already written the code for this?"
No. Way out of my league, especially security-wise. Though, I would eventually try and send you some patches.
Maybe I should have provided how the things actually work for me right now. It's eet-live dot com, left sidebar column, first three sections.

Thanks for a great Widget.
Is there any way to get a second custom field to appear in the list? Like a list of states as the first and a list of cities as the seonc and then when you click on the cities all the listings for the cities are displayed?
Thanks for any help you can give!!!

Hello Steve,
i'm thinking the only way to achieve this is to create a custom field (name) for every state and then assign the cities as custom field values to a custom field (name). After that you can create for every state a sidebar widget.
But to have these lists in one widget is not possible with the current version (v0.9.1).

nr. 10 -- Betreff / subject: Re: changing links
hello ale,
what you want to do is not possible by changing the settings of this plugin. Of course, you allolwed to adopt the plugins source code and change it if you want to. I think it might be a good idea to let the plugin search for a post title which is similar to the custom field value (e.g. name of a guest) when WP passes the action hook "save_post" or "publish_post" and to let it write the custom field values and post IDs into an array in the database table "wp_options". If you do it that way it needs only one or two database queries during the loading of the blog page and with post IDs you are always able to get the right permalink to the posts.
I like the idea of letting the user determine the link of a custom field value. Maybe i will add such a functionality.
But if you need this fast then I think it is probably easier to find a plugin which has already this functionality or if you want to make simply a list of names and link each name to one post or page then you can achieve this by using the text plugin of WP, too. To use the text plugin has no automations but it has a relative good performance during the loading process of the blog page.

I am trying to use your pluging custom field list. I want to sort it based on a particular field but it is not working properly.
Let me explain in detail.
I have monthly newspaper site. Where I have two custom fields year and month.
So it would start from year 1 month 1 and then month would increase upto 12 and then year would be 2. I want that latest edition of newspaper should come first. How to acheive that?
I have tried by defining a third field year-month where the values I am putting are 1_1 , 1_2 etc but it is not sorting.
If you can provide a way of reversing the sorting then it would be nice. Like ASC or DESC.
Please suggest. I love this plugin, I have seen many other plugin doing the similar thing but this seem to be BEST.

I have been playing around with custom fields a bit and couldn't find a way to display them. Your custom field list widget manager is perfect.
I downloaded 9.4 and it didn't work. I am using ie 8. I found 9.5 RC on your site and it worked perfectly.
I have one suggestion for a future enhancement. I would like to display the first letter of my custom fields as the first element. The second element would be the custom field itself. This feature would then collapse the entries under each letter. It would also be nice to show the number of posts for each letter of the alphabet.
This one might take a huge amount of work. My workaround is to create another custom field "Letter" and input the appropriate letter for each post.
Thanks again for a great widget.

Hi Casemon,
Thank you for your report, too. I'm still not 100% sure why the plugin is not working in your case. But I have looked into the db queries and I have found some hard coded db table names and have changed them with variables.
That might solve your problem if your are not using the default db table prefix "wp_".

von / written by Buddy - 17.12.2009 - 03:19:50
nr. 24 -- Betreff / subject: Re: Widget on Pages
Hi Buddy,
one relative simple way is to create a special page template. Usually there is a page.php in your theme's folder. You can copy that file and remove some of the lines between get_header() and get_sidebar(). These lines are in most cases there to display the blog posts.
Change the name of the template.
Further you have to register a new sidebar (and give the other one a name). For this pupose you have to look into the functions.php of your them. This file should contain function call for register_sidebar() if your theme supports widgets. There your can add new sidebar. You can define the HTML tags which should surround the widget content and these can be different from the other sidebar(s) like DIV instead of LI. With these different HTML tags and maybe some special CSS you can display the widget content over the complete width of the page. Further give names to the sidebars if you have more than one. How that is done is described in the WP Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar .
If you have a page with the new template and the new sidebar registered then there should be the possibility to add the widget only to this special sidebar.
If you tell which theme you are using then i can help you a little bit, too.

Is the list inflater / deflater jquery available separately? Haven't hacked into the php to try to pull it out (for consistency on the site), so thought to ask first!
von / written by Casemon - 18.12.2009 - 09:16:07
nr. 26 -- Betreff / subject: Re: Cool simple list inflate / deflate
All deflater/inflater related JavaScript code is in the widget_custom_field_list_js.php file with two little exceptions. The de/inflater characters and the effect speed names will be arranged in the header of the pages with help of two little JavaScript functions which are in the main plugin file (widget_custom_field_list.php lines 1312 - 1328). This is an easy and good way to get and hold the settings ready for the de-/inflation actions.
Further the list elements have all a class name which consists of 3 parts: {the class name}_{widget number}_{list part number} e.g. customfieldlistelements_7_0. The function which switches between the list parts gets the widget number, the list part number and much list parts there are. To achieve this effects this way was easier for me then to do it with DOM manipulation commands like parent, sibling or so...
But the other hide and show effects are realised via these jQuery event listener kind of things jQuery(document).ready(function(){} OR jQuery(window).load(function(){}

Hi! Now one list of custom fields is very very long.
I placed in a widget area above the footer. It is showing a long list of booktitles.
As this widget area can have 3 columns, I would like to break the list in trunches:
so that one third of the list is shown in any of the columns
to acchieve that I need the possibility not only to show "n" items, let's say a portion of 25 plus navigation to the next entries,
I would need the option:
Show entry #1 to #50
show entry #51 to #100
by this I could spread the list in the footer region and from time to time I would have to organize them again (when the last part gets too long proportionally) that would be no problem for me

Great Widget - thanks for writing it. I do have a couple of issues however.

Second, the Widget appears to be displaying the custom fields from pages that are still drafts or for Review. It is also displaying those that are in the Trash. Seems like it should only display published posts and pages.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out if your widget will solve my problem. I appreciate all the work you have done to provide it. I looked a Larry Wilson's site and see how useful it is for him.
I have a blog about vineyards in New England region of US. There are 6 states and about 81 vineyards scattered through them. www.growingvine.net
Everytime I write about a particular vineyard I usually provide their contact info. Name, address, phone and website. So, I copy and paste over and over. If I had a way to reuse a snippet of code like a database that would be so useful. I also have lists of the vineyards, sorted by state, or searchable.
I'm a graphic designer in over my head but I love this project. I hope to help the vineyards who are mainly small, family run, and not making a lot of money. They preserve the land and that is important to me.
If you can shed any light on this, I would appreciate it.

there is probably more than one way but I guess the easiest way is to create a new page template which has a wide sidebar instead of the usual content section. When you have registered this sidebar via the function.php of theme then you can add the any widget to this widgetized content column.
I have made an example for the Kubrick theme. you can download this example in the download section (of the English part of this page). The readme.txt in the .zip file has some more explanations and links for further reading.

Hi Tim - Greetings from Denmark
Excellent plugin - thanks a lot for sharing with the world!

This shows a plus or minus after the field depending if the list is collapsed or expanded. I'd very much like to replace the + and - with text. I'm no php expert, but if you can tell me which of the php file(s) I need to edit (and maybe line numbers too?) I'm comfortable replacing +/- with text there.

Hi Peter, it is already possible to change these expand/collapse characters. The plugin has a settings page (Site Admin / Settings / Custom Field List Widgets) where it is possible to choose between different pre-defined variations. One of them is e.g Show/Hide.
If you like to have these phrases in Danish then the best way to accomplish that is to create a language file. This way you could define two complete different alternative words instead of the Danish equivalents for Show/Hide without changing the source code. I'm using the poEdit editor to create the German language files for the plugin and if you like to do it this way I could send you some prepared language files.
But if you would give you some hints what the alternative words should be then I would insert them myself and they would be part of all following plugin versions.

There is probably a way. One way is via CSS. The whole widget has the class .customfieldlist and if you know which element has this bullet then you can switch it off.
If it is a bullet of a list element then would be something like that
.customfieldlist ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
or
.customfieldlist li {
list-style-type: none;
}
But I could tell you a more specific way if you could tell the name of your theme or the address of the blog.

Hallo Jan,
eine ziemlich simple Lösung ist es, ein Seiten-Template anzulegen, welches quasi nur aus einer großen Fläche für Widgets - also einer sehr breiten Seitenleite - besteht. Dazu kann man beispielsweise die Datei page.php des Themes kopieren, umbenennen und entsprechend ändern.
Diese spezielle Seitenleiste muss einen eindeutigen Namen erhalten. Darüber hinaus muss diese Seitenleiste auch, in der zum Theme gehörenden Datei functions.php, als Seitenleiste registriert werden.
Im englischsprachigen Downloadbereich dieser Seite habe ich zwei Beispiel Seiten-Templates und eine entsprechend angepasste functions.php Datei zum Download bereitgestellt. Diese Beispiel ist mit den Dateien des mittlerweile alten Default (Kubrick) Themes gemacht.
Man könnte sicherlich auch die Funktion, die das Widget im Frontend darstellt direkt aufrufen. allerdings müßte man die Seiteleisten HTML Elemente manuell übergeben. Auf jeden Fall müsste man auch etwas im Code des Templates ändern. Ich denke aber, dass der erst genannte Methode, die eleganteste ist.
Falls du weitere Fragen hast, werde ich gern versuchen sie zu beantworten.
Viele Grüße

Hallo, ich setze das Widget auf www.avantart.com/lesebuch intensiv ein und nun stelle ich fest, daß es mit der aktuellen Version WP 3.0.1 nicht funktioniert.
Die Listen werden angezeigt, Links werden gebildet, aber die Links werden nicht geladen, es wird immer nur die aktuelle Seite neu geladen. Das ist sehr ärgerlich
bitte prüft das nach!
Gruss, Connie

Ich hoffe, ich konnte das Problem in 1.1.7 (und 1.2 beta 3) reparieren.
Falls das Problem weiterhin besteht, wäre es evtl. hilfreich, wenn Sie mir miteilen könnten, ob Sie ein oder mehrere Namen von Benutzerdefinierten Feldern pro Widget verwenden.

nr. 57 -- Betreff / subject: Showing linkable fields rather than post titles in the drop-down
Great plugin.
I would like to be able to show the linkable fields themselves in the drop down, rather than post titles.
So I have a custom field "author" and I would like the reader to have a drop-down to select the author's name, which would then show the search results of that author (a subset of all the posts). Ideally it would also have the option to "show all"
Also, is there a way to somehow shorten the dropdown when you have many custom fields?
Alternatively, using the collapsable list control (with the + -) instead would be fine, as long as the clickable part is the custom field name, rather than the post title.
Does this make sense? Easy for me to add to the plugin?

That is already possible with the plugin as it is. Please try the list type "a list with manually linked values". Using that list type allows you to create lists which contain the custom field values only one time per list and you have possibility (via the "Set the links" button) to set a custom link e.g. to a search result page for each custom field value.
There is no way to shorten a dropdown list. But you can use of course the "simple list" which allows you to control the length of the list.

Hi Martin,
if you are not logged in, the list should contain only posts with post_status = "publish".
But it is true that the list will contain posts independently of their status if you or other users are logged in. Is this a problem in your case?
Or does the list show also posts which are not published while you are logged out?

nr. 66 -- Betreff / subject: Grouped date fields?
I'm using the Custom Field List Widget to list custom fields for a publication name and publication date (in the format YYYY/MM/DD), but would like to format differently to group publication dates by year (currently it is a very long list with every date), along with the number of posts for that year.
Something like this:
Publication-A (22)
Publication-B (4)
and for dates:
1923 (12)
1922 (7)
1921 (16)
Here is the site to see what I mean:
http://uncledicksanimaltales.com/
Is this possible with your plugin?
von / written by Bob - 11.06.2011 - 20:20:18
nr. 67 -- Betreff / subject: Re: Grouped date fields?
Hi Bob,
that is basically possible to do that with the plugin. You need to add the year as an separate custom field value to each post. If you have done that you can use this custom field name e.g. "pubyear" to create a list. (And if you are going to add such custom field, maybe think about adding a field for the month.)
It is also possible to display the number of sub list elements (posts per year).
Grouping the posts by their titles is maybe easier. There is the option "group the values by the first character". This option was meant to be for such a purpose.
Regards,
Tim

There are no values in connection to the custom field name "ispd" in the data base.
This is exactly the widget I need, but seem to be missing something in getting the database set up. Your help is greatly appreciated.

nr. 69 -- Betreff / subject: Re: custom field list widget - links
This message you could see in the sidebar menus that there are no published posts which have a custom field with the name "ispd".
If the post with this custom field was and is still a draft or has any other status as published than it will not be part of the list in the sidebar. (An other status may be "private" or Pending Review)
The other possible but maybe not very likely explanation is that there was no post at all with this custom field (name).

nr. 70 -- Betreff / subject: Can we have an option for non hierarchal lists?
I like this widget, it performs exactly as I would like except for one issue, if there are multiple custom fields with the same value, then they are stored underneath (open and closeable sub-list), but I would rather that if I click on such an entry it goes to a page of that shows all pages with that custom value.
An example is an artist field, if I click on an entry that I have only one song of that artist, then it goes to that entry, but if I have multiple entries, then the pages are listed underneath that.
I know in writing this now, that t is really beyond the scope of the widget, because there is no page that lists all the songs of the individual artists.
Do you know of a simple way I could achieve this?
von / written by Dave - 25.08.2011 - 19:19:09
nr. 71 -- Betreff / subject: Can we have an option for non hierarchal lists?
Hi Dave,
I would say that it is possible to create such a list which has the names of the artists as main list elements and the songs as sub elements.
Make a custom field with the name e.g. "artist" and one or more with the name "song" per post. The value of the "artist" field is the name of the artist and the value of the "song" field is the name of the song. In this scenario you may have more than one "song" field per post. But you can have only one "artist" field per post.
In the widget settings: insert "artist" as the first value in the list of custom field names and "song" as the second one. That is it basically.
If you have a different number of "song" fields per post then there will be a notice in the widget settings. But this notice is more important in a different scenario and you may ignore it.
The only thing which is probably not adjustable is that if you are using such a list which combines two custom fields then each list element of the list in the sidebar has a sub element.
Do i have understood your scenario correctly?

I really love your plugin! I experimented a little issue using the tool. My website is about pipe tobaccos, I structured it with a custom post type and the usual posts. In the custom post type, I use the custom fields Brand (c_brand) and Cut (c_cut) and in the custom post type and the fields Brand (m_brand) and Cut (m_cut) in the usual posts.
Now, the plugin works fine, listing m_brand/c_cut (picked from the normal posts), but when I reopen an already saved custom post entry, the custom post appairs in the widget without any query value, it just list the custom post tille. My website: http://catasdetabacos.com

Vielen dank! The plugin is really useful - with so many options it must have been really difficult to create and almost more so to maintain! It may even be unique in what it can do ... not absolutely sure as I stopped looking when I found this ;-)
One suggestion (meant constructively and not as a complaint or bug!) - Would be great to have a unique title visible in the admin widget screen. Because it can be multiple appearance, it would be useful to be able to see straight away which is which. The title wouldn't have to be 'hideable' necessarily ... there is at least one plugin which adds the functionality to show titles on admin pages, but not on the actual site.
It would be good to have the first level expandable too - so the actual posts weren't shown until you click on a field name. Might already be there ... I haven't played with all the options yet to be sure what they do. I'm off to do that now :-))
Many thanks again.

Constructive feedback: When I try to go to the "Custom Field List Widget - settings" from the widget, it tells me I'm not authorised. (I'm an admin, with full - as far as I know - rights.) When I try to go to the same place from the WPdashboard, I can do so without difficulty. Not really a problem ... just letting you know.
Is there a way to NOT show posts where the custom field value is "null"? Have played around a bit, but nothing seems obvious.
Best regards

Hi,
Your widget is awesome and was working great for me. I was using it to add in 2 custom fields in each of my posts, and I did this successfully for a long time, but now I can only add one custom field because for some reason, unknown to me the system is adding in 4 custom fields that I do not need or use, but I am unable to delete, when I do, they just come back.
They are:
Pib_description
Pib_Url_of_img
Pib_Url_of_webpage
robotsmeta
Do you have any idea why these are showing up or how to remove them?
If not, is it possible to add in one more custom list field so I can continue to add in the second custom list field?
any help would be really appreciated
