Thanks for your directions. It does exactly what I wanted. I had went down the path you described, but had made made some errors because of lack of understanding of the form elements operation.

Thanks… Tom.

Wordpress 4.7.2. Calculated Fields Form 5.0.168.

Tom.

That’s great, but when I add a Checkbox to a form, I do not have the line that defines the value to submit.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks… Tom.

My goodness! Thanks for the quick response and solution. It works great, and addresses my (and probably many others) problem of easily invoking a shortcode via a button.

I did much searching for a solution before I contacted you and there we go – solved!

Thanks again… Tom.

Hi.

Same problem.

Currently if I am to have the Contact Form 7 form shown by a link in a button, I have to create a page, place the shortcode for the form on it, and then reference that page in a href to have the form presented.

I would like to be able to just include the shortcode in the link section when creating the button making for a cleaner setup.

I have created a button using your plugin, with the URL for the form page, and it works properly. I tried it using the shortcode in the link section and I get a 404 when clicking on the button.

Is there a way to have a button created by your plugin reference a shortcode the same way as a URL?

Site is https://ocutest.glsys.ca/2016/02/02/2016-paris-spring-rally/2/

Button is at the bottom.

Thanks… Tom.

Hi. I will continue this conversation because I have a similar situation.

I am creating a post that will display information and a registration form for members of our club to register for an event.

Currently, the member would print off the info, fill out the form and send to the event registrar by mail. That worked in 1990. I would like to update that process.

I currently have a interactive form created using ‘Contact Form 7’ which is accessed using a shortcode. I have placed a button created using ‘Buttons Shortcode and Widgets’ at the bottom of the post for the member to click on to bring up the ‘online’ form. There they can fill the form out and click on the ‘Send’ button at the bottom which will email the contents to the registrar.

To do this, I have to create a page with only the ‘Contact Form 7’ shortcode and place a link (href=”…”) in the logic for the registration button to call this page. I would like to avoid creating the extra page(s) for the form shortcode, and embed the form shortcode in the logic for the button itself.

Is that possible? How would I do this?

Thanks… Tom.

Hi Dan.

Our multisite setup runs on Host Gater I believe.

I was able to disconnect Jetpack, enable DG including IMagick and could not reconnect Jetpack. I get the error
Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed.

I unchecked the IMagick box, saved the settings and had no problem reconnecting Jetpack.

This problem caused trouble with Google Calendar of Events, and some Jetpack plugins. It appeared to affect anything that tried to access resources outside of the site.

It appears to be working properly now for us.

Thanks for your efforts… Tom.

Thanks for the testing. I had Google Analytics removed and that ended the exceptions. Now DG works fine. I think your plugin was a ‘canary in the coal mine’ showing that there was a problem, but not being the actual source of the problem.

This guy is now solved (applause all round)!

Tom.

Thanks for the reply. I thought that was the case. That, however, brings up two issues.

First, is there another method to play background music when viewing one of your galleries?

Second, you have a web page that defines values and usage for custom fields for your gallery.

https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/custom-fields/

There is no mention that these definitions no longer work. Perhaps you could place a statement at the start of the page that explains that the content applies to any version prior to n.nnn and was dropped with version n.nnn. That would save some folks from wandering down the wrong path and into the swamp.

Thanks… Tom.

Well don’t you just know it.

Before getting you further involved with this problem, I tried a few things further.

– I removed the custom CSS updated, and viewed the page. There were no changes. I re-installed the CSS updated, with no success. It was as if the plugin was ignoring the CSS.

– I read through the plugin settings page, and turned off (unchecked) the local post switch, updated, and viewed the page. It worked!!! Although it displayed a lot of other documents. I turned the switch back on, updated the settings, and viewed the revised page, and everything was good. Amazing!

I imagine this problem was caused by a cached version of the old plugin that was not changed until I forced an update with the change of the switch. Maybe? I don’t know. Could be.

Anyway everything is good now, so you can relax.

Thanks for your quick response and have a great New Year. I will mark this topic as resolved.

Tom.

Thanks for the response.

The plugin has been updated to 2.3.5 and the problem remains. Not what you wanted to hear I’m sorry to say.

Let me know if there is anything further I can do.

Thanks… Tom.

Hi.

Sorry to be late getting back to this (Christmas you know!), but the problem cannot be resolved by me. As for the suggestions:

– list view would not be usable in this case. Our site is part of a multisite setup for our RV club. The Regional And National sites use the calendar view, and want to integrate them into the unit (our website) view.

– The current theme used a width of 800px. I have increased the width to 1900px and all that happens is that the calendar is stretched out with the right (Saturday) side still missing the outer boundary. If I reduce the display area to less than 800px, the right side becomes more and more truncated.

– I tried another theme and didn’t have this problem but I would prefer to keep the theme we are using.

– Strangely enough, the widget display works properly. I can change its height, width, table border size and color, etc. etc. Any changes I make to the main calendar table are ignored except for changing the font colors.

I am sorry to say that the test site is unavailable. However, you can see the problem on our production site at ontarioairstream.wbcci.net selecting menu item “Unit Calendar”. I have set up the page layout with the total width of 800px, the content size of 580px, and the sidebar of 220px. This shows the problem at its extreme with the Saturday column completely removed.

The CSS code that I am using follows.

.gce-page-grid .gce-calendar .gce-caption{ /* Caption at top of calendar */
width:100%;
/* was #333333 */
color:#8c0005;
text-align:center;
}

.gce-page-grid .gce-calendar{ /* Main calendar table */
width:100%;
border-collapse:collapse;
/*  border:1px solid #CCCCCC; */
border:3px solid #8c0005;
/* was #CCCCCC changes color of day numbers */
color:#8c0005;
}

.gce-page-grid .gce-calendar th{ /* Day headings (S, M etc.) */
	border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
	text-align:center;
	width:14.29%;
	padding:0;
}

.gce-page-grid .gce-calendar td{ /* Day table cells */
	border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
	text-align:center;
	height:80px;
	vertical-align:middle;
	padding:0;
}
/* WIDGET GRID */

.gce-widget-grid .gce-calendar .gce-caption{
text-align:center;
}

.gce-widget-grid .gce-calendar{ /* Main calendar table */
width:100%;
/* Was #333333 */
border:3px solid #8C0005;
border-collapse:collapse;
}

.gce-widget-grid .gce-calendar th{ /* Day headings (S, M etc.) */
width:14.29%;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
text-align:center;
}

.gce-widget-grid .gce-calendar td{ /* Day table cells */
color:#CCCCCC;
width:14.29%;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
text-align:center;
}

.gce-widget-grid .gce-calendar .gce-has-events{ /* Table cells with events */
cursor:pointer;
color:#8C0005; /* text color */
font-weight:bold;
}

Thanks for any suggestions… Tom.

Hi.

I have run into the same issue.

I have a test site set up (not a multisite), and as Admin created a page with an iframes object. It worked properly. However, working on our club site which is part of a multisite setup, as Admin, I could not create a page with iframes. The coding was deleted. This question in this post prompted me to do a test.

I returned to my test site and created 2 posts. The first post was created as an ordinary user including iframes coding. I logged in as Admin and created a second post using the same iframes coding.

In the first post the iframes coding was stripped while in the second post it was allowed.

So I guess the rules are:

Mulitsite: Only Super Admin can use iframes.
Single Site; Admin can use iframes.
Ordinary user cannot use iframes.

I have to now convince the powers-that-be to install the iframe plugin.

A thought though. Would it be worthwhile to include a test for user role so that the use of the shortcode could be restricted to Admins, or Editors, or whoever, or with no role, anyone could use it?

Tom.

Hi.

Sorry but I never got any reply to this. I found that the page I was going to restore had a lot of bad html coding, so I attributed the problem to that. I rewrote/corrected the page and never tried the restore again.

Sorry I can’t help any further… Tom.

Perhaps I wasn’t quite clear. When I view a page edit screen, there is a column on the right as I view it. It has the entries “Status:”, “Visibility:”, and “Revisions:”. Beside the Revisions is a count and a Link (button – might have mis-labeled it) that says Browse. I clicked on the link and it brings up the revision page.

If I do anything on the page like restore a prior version, or even just return to the edit page, the system hangs as described in my prior post.

Hope this explains the situation better… Tom.
