Tim B. — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 10:37:49 +0200

Is this bullet in place even if you define a title? Is it a bullet of list elements?

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.

Regards,
Tim

nr. 45 -- Betreff / subject: Changing + / - to text in widget

Tim B. — Sun, 16 May 2010 22:47:00 +0200

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.
Regards,
Tim

Peter K — Sun, 16 May 2010 21:18:30 +0200

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

In the widget I'm using the simple list with a tick in both a) "each element with sub elements" and b) "show the number of sub elements"

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.

Thank you _very_ much in advance!

Tim B. — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:02:51 +0200

Hello Adam,

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.
Does this help you?

Tim

Nancy Boyle — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:59:54 +0200

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.

Thank you, Nancy Boyle

Hi Tim,

I just installed the new version of your Custom Field List Widget (Versuib 9.9) and noticed that you have now added the first letter capability that I had suggested. Nice work! It really is nice and I will not longer have to manually code my items to get this functionality.

I just wrote a comment on my weblog about your plugin. I hope you check it out. I like to heap praise on those who do nice work.

One question I have is in regard to the drop down list appearance functionality. I haven't quite figured that one out. I am going to tinker with it a bit to see how it works. Otherwise, I will come back to you to ask for a little more explaination on that one.

Buddy Ray — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:46:06 +0100

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

I have a blank Header, yet on the page where the widget is displayed, it always displays "Custom Field List". I would much prefer that it displays nothing with a blank header - not even a blank line.

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.

nr. 27 -- Betreff / subject: output in tranches?

Connie — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:28:18 +0100

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

do you think this is useful and possible?

nr. 26 -- Betreff / subject: Re: Cool simple list inflate / deflate

Tim B. — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:52:58 +0100

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(){}

nr. 24 -- Betreff / subject: Re: Widget on Pages

Tim B. — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:40:59 +0100

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.

nr. 23 -- Betreff / subject: Widget on Pages

Buddy — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 03:19:50 +0100

This is almost exactly the plugin I was looking for.
However, I'd really like to be able to display the list in a 'page' not on the sidebar. And only on 1 specific page.
I'm not particularly good at php - I can read and modify code a bit but I'm not real fluent so I haven't figured out the php enough to make this change on my own.

Do you know of an easy way to do this?

Is there a "plugin" to enable widgets on a specific page that you know works with your widget?

Or is there a block of code that I could cut and paste into the appropriate custom page template?

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_".

Please, try the version 0.9.6 RC 7.

Larry Wilson — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:40:20 +0100

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.

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.

Tim B. — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:25:35 +0200

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.
