Broken loop

Hi @dragonmoon, Thank you for this Feed back, it really helps me for making the plugin more stable.
I’m aware there are multiple bugs. I’m rewriting the plugin, I’t will be out in less than 10 days if everything goes as planned.

ATM, I’ll try to fix this bug, but I’m unable to reproduce it. So please give me this information:

1- In Laika settings how is your configuration (wp-admin/options-general.php?page=laika-options)?

2- When you talk about a “post” you mean a “laika content type” or a standard post?

3- It happens if you change your template to the WordPress default?

4- Can you paste here the code of your Laika post tipe where it happens the bug?

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn’t see the special configuration page for laika. After turning “Draw chart from laika_pt_theme.php” on it seems to work quite fine. Great Plugin. How diffivult do you think it would be to add some additional fields to the posts:

Number of litter
Date of litter
Reference to book of breed

Additionally an option to copy an Entry would be helpfull if you want deal with several litter

Thanks for your great work

Thorsten

laika_pt_theme.php will probably be removed in the new update cause no longer will be necessary, so don’t spend a lot of time tweaking it (although you’ll be able to create a custom page for the content type). I’m recoding everything cause there are too much bugs and I’m positive I’ll be able to publish the new version very soon.

About the litter of every pet is a good idea, at the moment I won’t implement new features till it works great. But I’ll put it in my TODO list (as puting a thumbnail and making available more generations).

What exactly do you mean by “Reference to book of breed”?

EDIT: I will not add more fields for litters, in any case I’t will be automatic searching directly from the DB.

Book of Breed: What I mean is, that if you are breeding “proffessionally” that each born pet will be added to the current book of breed of the race. Verbally translated it should be “breed book”.

In Germany for Deerhound e.g. D 2604 Band XLVI
Whereas the D stand for Germany, than a four Digit Number and than he Word Band (meaning “Volume”) followed by a roman Number.

Number of litter would be great as you could filter the entries in a menu: All pets from a Litter under a menu (e.g. first litter with all pets from first litter).

@dragonmoon are you able to give me a website where something like this is implemented? To have a clearer idea.

As far as I have seen up to now I did not see an automatism on any webpage. What I have seen quite some times allready was an overview about the pets from the different litters. Having now the possibility to build this overview automatically would be quite an interesting feature. and the sorting that I have observed most times was the sorting according to the litter (e.g. 3 male and 4 female pet with these ancestors in the frist litter, 4 male and 2 female pets in the second litter where the Litter number (or Letter a-z) is the sorting method in the menu.

I hope I described it in a way that makes sense somehow.

@dragonmoon More or less I think I get what do you mean.

It’s very interesting the idea and I really want to make a plugin that solve pet breeders websites so I’ll be looking on that after the update.

Are you a webmaster for a breeder or how are you related with this business?

More or leess I am an Webmaster that is helping out a friend who is a breeder. Havening some own webprojects not related to breeding or pets and was asked by this freind if I could help him with setting up his webpage, so I began looking around to find an easy solution.

As I also have some programming experience I can offer a little bit of help if required.

Thanks @dragonmoon, I’ll let you know if I need help.

Hi @dragonmoon,

The plugin has been updated.
laika_pt_theme.php doesn’t exist anymore. Can you check If the bug still persist? I’ve changed how the plugin displays the content so it’s very possible it doesn’t happen anymore, although I was unable to reproduce the bug.

Ok I checked it and still there seems to be a major problem:

no shortcode in the theme that I use is compiled any more as long as your plugin is activated. I evene installed a new plugin for testpurposes and it worked fine without Laika beeing activated but as sonn Laika was activated the shortcode was only shown as text and not beeing replace by the appropiate plugindata.

It is the same in postings as in pages.

Changing the theme back to one of the stanbdard themes does not solve the problem, as the same mistake also semas to appear there.

Hi @dragonmoon, can you give an example of the shortcode? where do you paste it? What theme? Are you using a plugin to display it or is a theme function?

Before providing me with the information can you update to 0.11.5? I maybe found the problem.

Seems that you solved the problem. For now it looks everything seems to work.

Another question: How difficult do you think it would be to show theme options in the plugin. I use a theme that shows theme options for postings as well as pages (both the same options). The reason is, that I don’t want to use the default layout for the Laika-Content but want to be able to choose the layout (in my case one without sidebar which is not the default one).
