Update doesn't work: customfield gone & customfield_orderby doesn't fuction

  • I have tried to update to the new version twice and each time the customfield display disappears as well as the customfield orderby doesn’t work. I tried the hack recommended by another user for the customfield display but that didn’t work either. I just want to know if anyone figured this out. I had to restore the previous version to have my website function properly. I’d like to update, but can’t with these problems.

    Has anyone else experienced this? Is the author going to fix this is the next update?

    Thanks.

    p.s. this is the best plugin ever

  • Hi, can you show the catlist call you are making?

    [catlist id=4 numberposts=10?title_tag=span title_class=cat thumbnail=yes thumbnail_size=medium?thumbnail_class=lcp-medium-img customfield_orderby=”comments” order=desc customfield_display=”comments” customfield_display_name=no template=cat pagination=yes]

    In my site’s error logs I’m getting:

    PHP Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘include/ListCategoryPostsWidget.php’ for inclusion (line 32)

    PHP Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘include/options.php’ for inclusion (line 33)

    PHP Warning: require_once(include/CatListDisplayer.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory (line 34)

    PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘include/CatListDisplayer.php’ (line 34)

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi, the filenames showing as missing in the error log are to do with the old version of LCP. The new version names are lcp-options.php etc.

    Did you see the errors on the old or new version?

    The error log is for the new version. Version 0.51 works fine for me.

    Is there something I can do so that it works?

    The instructions for using a custom field in the orderby function go:

    customfield_orderby – You can order the posts by a custom field. For example: [catlist numberposts=-1 customfield_orderby=Mood order=desc] will list all the posts with a “Mood” custom field. Remember the default order is descending, more on order:

    Fine. Except where do I put the “Mood” custom field?

    I tried, customfield_orderby=lastname (with lastname referring to last name of author of books listed, and put lastname=Yancey in the tags. Didn’t work.

    I want the books on my Books by Authors pages to list them alphabetically by last name of author. Here’s a sample page:
