I have not yet. I’ve been investing all my available time in improving the plugin and responding to feature/bug requests.

So far it’s been helpful for me to reply to specific “how-to” scenarios and slowly build up a more thorough documentation from that.

Is there a specific (or general) question I can answer for you?

Fantastic. If there’s any way to see it when it’s done I’d love that!

And in the meantime, feel free to hit me up with any additional bug reports or feature requests.

Thanks for the feedback! Typo fixed in version 1.1.14

Airpress includes a wonderful Markdown library called Parsedown which you can use on any AirpressRecord with a simple ->html($field) call.

So:

echo $post->AirpressCollection[0]->html("My Field with Markdown");

Not as of now. I’ve looked into it and wasn’t excited about the prospects of “injecting” Airtable data into ACF. However, depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, Airpress will work wonderfully alongside of ACF.

I’d love to hear a little about what you’re trying to accomplish. Specifically regarding whether or not you’re looking to have Airtable data exposed in the Admin side of things (post editor, etc) or if you’re looking to use ACF shortcodes and API calls to get “up to date” data from Airtable.

With the latest version of the plugin, yes!

You can also use braces to specify two fields for the post_title. For example, you can reference other (non-array) fields like this:

Airtable Field to be used as post_title: {Name} – {Status}

Also you can use the airpress_virtualpost_setup action in your functions.php file like this:
(untested, sorry! Let me know if it doesn’t work and I’ll test)

function my_virtualpost_setup($config){
	global $post;

	if ( ! is_airpress_empty($post->AirpressCollection) ){
														// Field name 		// related table name
		$post->AirpressCollection->populateRelatedField("Good Options For:", "Special Diets");

		// Assuming a single record returned:
		$record = $post->AirpressCollection[0];

		$good_for = $record["Good Options for:"]->getFieldValues("Diet");

		$post->post_title = $record["Name"]." - ".implode(",", $good_for);
	}

}
add_action('airpress_virtualpost_setup','my_virtualpost_setup');

So, totally my bad! The command I used to test if the logfile was writable only works on existing files. sorry!

Debugger is now fixed so that it will actually attempt to create and write to the logfile and also you can now select to view on-screen debugging via the admin-bar link as well as via the log file.

Note that any debug message created by deferred queries will not be visible in the on-screen debugger as those are loaded via a new async request so the output CANNOT be displayed. To view that you’ll need the file based logfile.

Next debugging to-do is to ensure that all calls to airpress_debug use the appropriate connection settings—right now pretty much all airpress_debug calls us whatever debug settings you have for your first Airtable Connection configuration.

I’m working on getting the debugger output of each load into the toggle-able on screen output in addition to the log file. In the meantime, you’ll need to give the airpress.log file write permissions or change the path to the logfile to somewhere it can be written.

Thanks for the input. I don’t believe this is an issue I’ll be able to solve until I completely rewrite the admin/settings for the plugin which won’t be for a while. In the meantime, check out the video screencast showing some of the basic usage (on the plugin page at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/airpress). Thanks for the feedback and keep it coming.

I’ve created a video walkthrough you can view at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/airpress

Thanks so much. I’ve fixed that in the 1.1.5 release.

I’ve also created a video intro you can see at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/airpress

Thanks so much for the feedback! I’ve updated the docs. I’ve also created a screencast walkthrough of some of the basic features. Hopefully more to come soon! Keep the feedback coming.

The last screenshot at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/airpress/screenshots/ should explain sufficiently.

Sorry I missed that one. Plugin updated to 1.1.2 . Hopefully that’s it, if not I’ll need to install a PHP 5.3 dev environment to test further. Thanks for helping me chase this down.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve fixed the issue and updated the plugin. If there are anymore PHP 5.3 incompatibilities please let me know!
