Change order of fields

(had another question, but fixed that one)

Hi,

Yes, for that you should make changes to plugin files.

I will update plugin this week, have added comments to code so it’s much clearer to determine which code you should re-order.

For now the frontend code is located in PHP files vsel-list (for shortcode list), vsel-widget-list (for widget list) and vsel-templates (for support native page templates, such as single event).

But in case of plugin update you will lose al changes again..

And there is no way to use a child theme like construction with the plugin so changes are still present after updating?

Not yet, but this is possible with some changes. I will look into this later this week. Might be a nice addition.

Guido

That would be awesome!
And maybe later even make it possible to natively sort the fields. That would be amazing!

Hi again,

Unfortunately it will not be possible to override plugin template via your (child) theme. Have looked into this feature, but in my case it’s too much work to support that. For that I should fully rewrite the plugin template.

Guido

Pity. But understandable.
Have tried many (paid) event plugins and none of them are fully offering what I’m looking for:

– Ordering fields
– Ability to add extra fields (your plugin can do that now)
– Fully translatable with WPML so it can be used on a multi language website
– Choosing to keep showing old events, but choosing at what date the plugin starts (so you can scroll back if wanted)

So there’s definitely room for one more plugin that offers this ??

Fully translatable with WPML

Dutch?

Ik meende dat dit al mogelijk was, zoals besproken in een eerdere thread en daarna via e-mail.

Guido

Dat dacht ik inderdaad ook.
Maar blijkbaar toch niet.

Ik heb wel ge?xperimenteerd met ACF en daar zoveel mogelijk in te zetten, maar dat werd ook niet helemaal met het vertalen op een of andere manier.

Please, take a look at Gamajo_Template_Loader (https://github.com/GaryJones/Gamajo-Template-Loader), maybe it could help to get templates in the theme.

And sorry to bother on this thread.

Hi @pauloc

Thanks for this, will take a look at it.

But I don’t think I’m gonna include this in my plugin anytime soon, don’t have time for it now.

Guido

Still hoping to have the option to show the date first and then the title of the event.. Still no easy solution for that?

No, dit not work on this. But did take a look at it and it seems to be quite difficult (I’m not a full stack developer). So, don’t think I will add this template support. Sorry.

Guido

No worries, I understand.
But what about order of fields in general?
