Change default ‘Title field

Hello,

Thanks for reaching us!
The title field is the default and mandatory field of created listings. Making the title field in the plugin settings “Job Vacancy Title” is the customization service. Please be kindly informed that the support team does not provide the customization service. However, you can create a listing type called Job Vacancy Title and create several listings according to it.

Please review the plugin manual for a better understanding of the functionalities.

Sincerely

I have puchased the pro version of UListings and your response is just terrible.

Are you seriously saying that it’s not possible to change the initial form field descriptor from the dafault text of ‘Title’ to something else that will indicate to the user what type of information is required? How are people to know to input? ‘Title’ means nothing to anyone.

And then to tell me that to fix it would be a customisation service, presumably that I’d have to pay for. That’s not something that should be an added service. It should be part of the basic functionality of UListings. I had planed lots of forms and I resent the idea of having to pay money everytime I want to create a new form, just to change the title description text / prompt

I’ve used other form creation tools before and they all include a function that lets me substitute the initial title field descriptor. It’s logical to provide this feature.

I am cusious to know if the developers have actually tried their own software in a real world scenario? If you had, you would have quickly understood the issue and would have addressed it.

I’m really disapointed at the your unwillingness to see how this is a fundamental flaw in the UListin software.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching us here!
Sorry for this confusion and misunderstanding.
Let me explain the matter in detail: The title of the listing is a mandatory option of listing creation – you will first choose the listing type and write the Listing Title which was mentioned before.[Screenshot]
However, you can add Job vacancy title attribute to the listing type. Go to Attribute > Add new and create the desired attribute with required fields. [Screenshot] Here is guide to add an attribute. Then, in the listing type manage settings, you will choose Job vacancy title. [Screenshot]As a result, users can insert the job vacancy title too while creating listings in the related listing type. However, the listing title cannot be changed to the Job vacancy title.

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me. The screenshot you have included does not seem to address the issue. It’s taken from within the backend of WordPress, where any admin would already know what type of information is required in the ‘Title’ field.

My issue is with the front end view. Was this not apparent from my previous posts? How are people supposed to know what to enter into the first field on every form when it’s simply called ‘Title’. See my screenshot.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching us here!
Actually, the screenshots of two of us are the same. You are sharing it from the frontend, I shared it from the admin panel because I was explaining every step from the admin panel considering you are the admin. Please check the frontend title attribute which is the required field [Screenshot] and without it, listings will not be created, it is also a single default attribute that is made required attribute in the plugin itself, for example, it is up to you whether to make other attributes required or not. And it is logically correct because each listing should have a title. So, it is recommended to you to add the “Job vacancy title” attribute additionally to this required title in the following steps I explained above.

Hello Thanks for getting back to me, but I think we are going round in circles. Your last screenshot illustrates my point completley, yet I’m not sure you understand the point I am trying to make. Let me try again…

The second field in your screenshot is prefixed with the word “Bedrooms”. Anyone reading that will probably understand that they are expected to type in the number of bedrooms e.g. 19, as you have done.

Now go back to the first field which is prefixed witht the word “Title”. How do people know what this means… What type of information is expected of them? No one knows. And that’s the problem. Does that explain where I am coming from?

I know how to add additional attributes, but that does not solve the confusion that the first field presents to people. No one knows what ‘Title’ refers to.

Please try to put yourself in the position of someone filling in the form. Would you know what information to enter into the first field?

Regards

Hello, I’m sorry but this ticket has not been resolved.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching us here!
Filling the for listing creators will not be misunderstanding what listing title is as it is obvious. The listing title means a listing name as a subject of that matter. Without giving a title/name, how can you create a listing?
I will forward this request for reconsideration of the plugin team and they will decide it, but this topic will be closed with this message.
Please be kindly informed that we are working on the plugin improvements and we always try to provide better services for our customers.

Best Regards

Are you even attempting to try and understand what I am trying to say? Your first line of your last post implies that you have no idea what I’ve been trying to say to over numerous posts in this thread. I even refered to your own screen shot to illustare my point but you still arn’y making the logical connections.

HOW DOES A VISITOR KNOW WHAT TO INPUT IN THE FIRST FIELD OF A FORM WHEN THE PROMPT JUST SAYS “TITLE”.

What is so compliced about my question that you just won’t address the issue?

Regarding your earlier post. NO it is not obvious, for reasons I have stated many times.
Imagine these fields in a form:

Title:
Material:
Colour:
Weight:

Now tell me what does a user enter into the ‘Title’ field? You don’t know do you? AND THAT’S MY POINT. CAN YOU NOT SEE? I’ve never had such a conversation on the internet.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching us here!
Sorry for misunderstanding your point properly. I thought you want to change the required field “Title” into another attribute.
Yes, you can change the name of the “Title” attribute to “Job Vacancy Title” using the Loco Translate plugin. That plugin helps to not only translate strings into another foreign language, but it allows you to convert the chosen string into another string like Title > Job Vacancy. You need to choose the words from English to English, but you will change only the content of strings.
Please note: do not forget to synchronize your translations and your translation templates after you have changed the strings.

Best Regards
