@paulh88 The show description excerpt is displayed when you add show_desc="1" to the master schedule shortcode. By default this is auto-generated using WordPress excerpt generation functions from the full show description. This intentionally strips HTML to give just a plain text display.

However, it is easy to overcome this. If there is an explicit post excerpt set on the Show page, that will be used instead. It supports HTML and that will display instead of the auto-generated excerpt. You will however need to keep it updated manually as it will no longer be tied to the main Show description.

There is also a radio_station_schedule_show_excerpt filter in /includes/master-schedule-tabs.php should you wish to have further control over the excerpt contents programmatically (this could be possibly be used to auto-generate an excerpt that includes HTML, but that would be a very tricky thing to achieve, because if you just truncate the content, you will break the HTML content.)

Note: Sometimes the Excerpt metabox on the Edit page gets hidden in WordPress, if that is the case you can toggle it’s display via the “Screen Options” dropdown in the very top right of the page.

@tobstobs As mentioned in that issue, the plugin they used was “WP Auto Reload Widget”. Hope that helps.

For future reference the difference with the reload in the Pro version is it happens exactly at Show changeover time (with the Show info preloaded slightly before) rather than with a particular interval which may or may not match up to your schedule.

@wilcosky Thanks for the positive review!

There is a configuration setting where you can add classes to ignore, and I have added this to the newly added settings page. So if your reply links all have the same class you can add that to the comma separated class list there (currently links with no-transition or no-teleporter classes will be ignored, so these can be added to any internal links where a hard refresh is desired.) ??

In the effort to match only internal links, I do have it set to ignore a lot of links so far, including anything containing /wp-admin/ or wp-login.php. I know there will be some variation in themes that use a different comment template so there is no accounting for every possibility on this front, but I’ll check into the reply links further to see if I can include the pattern from the default comments template.

(I am not sure where the count error comes from for you, but if you still experience it with the latest version, could you log a support ticket or github issue referencing the line number.)

@wellsofficeltd Thanks for the positive review!

I’ve added a settings panel to the latest release, which makes a few things easier to configure, including setting the page fade time and a new setting for load timeout. ??

@tobstobs I can’t seem to find the actual name of the plugin mentioned in the forum here or the ticket… I did find this issue on gitub, and have asked there if they can help as I believe it is the same user:

Sorry I missed this everyone as it was marked as resolved. The fix was included in 2.4.0.1, but somehow went missing in the 2.4.0.2 release process. This is really unusual a code commit to be reverted, I can only guess I miscopied the file somewhere along the line working with Git.

I have added it back in to the develop branch for the upcoming 2.4.0.3 release, which should be out in the next day or so anyway:
https://radiostation.pro/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-install-the-latest-development-version-for-testing

@tobstobs No problem, the ID for the Current Show widget would be #current-show-widget-1 unless you have multiple widget instances on the page (unlikely but possible.)

@midwestbroadcasting Turns out was just an initialization variable out of place causing the tabs to revert to default (first tab.)
Have just added it to the develop branch for the next version, you can install it this way:

@djsilverfox Sweet! Glad it worked. ??

If you’re worried about potential conflicts, it may be worth setting up a staging site clone so you can test new updates periodically before rolling them out live.

We’re definitely going to be adding some more interesting features as time goes on, as well as the bugfixes that come with each release, which are definitely less than ever now, which means it’s a lot more stable… and it’s worth noting that the upcoming Pro version will require the latest version of the free plugin to be installed to work.

@midwestbroadcasting Okay, that is a bit more specific than just “not tabbing” as @djsilverfox first mentioned. We’ve had another report for that and I’ve just opened a support issue on Github for it:
https://github.com/netmix/radio-station/issues/363
Can you follow that issue instead please, so we can keep this thread on topic.

@djsilverfox In both URLs you provided, clicking the tabs does not change days… So I can’t see a difference between the pages myself. The genre highlighting is not working either, and in fact is seems like the javascript is not even loaded.

I see you have a minify cache plugin activated. First thing to try is deactivating that and retesting the page. If it then works, reactivate the plugin and clear it’s cache. If not, I can suggest further steps, but again as this is an older version it may be something we’ve already resolved, and also suggest testing an updated version.

@tobstobs For the Current Show widget (and Upcoming Shows and Current Playlist widgets) we are introducing dynamic widget reloading in the Pro version, so that the widgets reload on show changeover times. This isn’t available in the Free version (and hasn’t existed until we recently created it for Pro.)

We will be launching Pro next week, you can signup here for the launch discount:
https://radiostation.pro/plugin-launch-discount/
Otherwise, if it’s just for this one feature, I did have another user mention they found a plugin that can reload widgets every x minutes, whereas in Pro it will reload at the exact show changeover time.

@hotrodradio The page you have linked to does not have a Current Show widget as in this ticket, but rather this is a schedule display issue. In future please open a separate support ticket, as not all issues are related.

On your site, I can see that the current day shows tab panel is displayed to begin with, BUT upon full pageload the javascript is somehow reverting it to showing the start of the week panel instead.

I have opened a Github issue for this and will close this ticket as resolved here as it is a separate issue.

@jodyfr Hi Jody, you are quite right. Thanks for reporting!

There was a bug with the addition of the new selective Show attribute added in 2.3.3.9 … this would naturally default to false, but this was not checked for correctly in the added code. I’ve added the fix to the development version:
https://netmix.com/radio-station/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-install-the-latest-development-version-for-testing

Here is the Github issue for reference:
https://github.com/netmix/radio-station/issues/361

@djsilverfox Can you let me know why you are using 2.3.3.3? We would rather not try to support older versions if possible, as it may have been something we fixed already. Can you try a later version on staging to see if this is the case?

@midwestbroadcasting This may or may not be the same issue for you depending on what version you are using… Can you provide a link?

The tabs on the tab schedule are working fine for me on the demo site however.

If either of you are using an assets minifier or cache, I would suggest clearing the cache and reloading the page as well. We had another issue recently where an old resource was being loaded from the cache.

@fv4s4e On second look, I went to fix this as a bug, and the CSS is there already in the new version. Looks like you have Assets Cleanup plugin installed and it was caching the stylesheet. It seems to be serving the new stylesheet now fine, so you wouldn’t even need the extra line of code as it’s already in there. Adding it simply meant it took effect sooner before the cache was refreshed. ??

It may be worth remembering to clear your assets cache on update. It could be worth us looking into doing this automatically to prevent this in future, but having to track specific methods for all the different caching plugins (even just the popular ones) is pretty time-consuming, so probably not something we’d prioritize.
