Start and Log Page

@meir321

On the start page the individual votes for single posts are shown. The charts do not show the table, only always the selected time.

The logs under Logs, are the logs. So there the single votes are listed. On the start page the posts with the totals of the votes.

Hi, the votes are not showing up on the Start page only in the log page.

@meir321

It is important that only those entries are visible on the start page that are also set under “Post Types” in the settings. For example, if you want to see pages, but you have only selected “post”, it will not be shown.

The logs show all saves, even those saved by content that is no longer active.

Oh, now I understand. Is there a way for everything to display there even if it’s not set under Post Type? For example if it’s displayed with Shortcode.

@meir321 I published you an update. That should help you so far, I hope. You can read more about it here:

Hi, thanks for your response.
How can I use this to display on the start page all votes that were submitted via shortcode?

@meir321

You need to find out what Post Types you are using to do this. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that. By default Helpful uses “any”, which only addresses all existing post types (from WordPress).

Thank you.

The only issue is, this code only works if you select that custom post type mentioned in the code in the Details Page under Post Types. In my case that custom post type is not selected there (otherwise would display helpful twice on single custom post type pages) and is only displayed via shortcode, so the provided code is not targeting it.

Is there a way for the code to target the set custom post type even if it’s not selected under the details page?

@meir321

The mentioned filter is intended for exactly this problem. You can set your post types there without setting them in the settings.

This filter only works on the start page in Helpful’s settings.

functions.php:

/**
 * @param array $args
 * @return array
 */
add_filter('helpful/ajax_get_posts_data/args', function(array $args) {
    $args['post_type'][] = 'my-custom-post-type'; // <-- here
    return $args;
});

`

Hi, I tested it and it does not work unless the custom post type is also set in the settings.

So if I add the following code to the Functions.php it will only show in the Start page if I also select Helpie FAQ in the settings. The same with any custom post type I tested.

add_filter('helpful/ajax_get_posts_data/args', function(array $args) {
    $args['post_type'] = ['helpie_faq'];
    return $args;
});

@meir321

/**
 * @param array $args
 * @return array
 */
add_filter('helpful/ajax_get_posts_data/args', function(array $args) {
    $args['post_type'] = 'helpie_faq'; // <-- here
    return $args;
});

I have checked this on 4 pages for me. It works fine, directly in the functions.php. Here in the example I have selected only the post.

In the settings I have selected a completely different. Then only the post are shown to me. With a custom post type I have also tested this. It always works fine.

You may have to check in another place why this is not working. You can use the Query Monitor, but also set WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG to true, in your wp-config.php file. After that, in the debug.log directly in your wp-content/ folder, should put all the info, if there is an error.

Otherwise your post type will be registered differently, or incorrectly. You can still try to put an init in front of it if necessary:

add_action('init', function() {
    /**
     * @param array $args
     * @return array
     */
    add_filter('helpful/ajax_get_posts_data/args', function(array $args) {
        $args['post_type'] = 'helpie_faq'; // <-- here
        return $args;
    });
});

Also with this, it works for me right away, without any problems.

Hi, I was unable to get it to work either way. Thank you for trying to assist. I will use the log page for now.
