Display excerpt instead of content + translate “new” / “used” in overview

Hi,

How do I only display the listing’s excerpt instead of the entire content in the listings overview page
You will have to modify the template description.php in the loop -> description.php: https://i.imgur.com/inP5XDb.png. Please refer to this documentation to know how to modify a template: https://wpautolistings.com/docs/templates/

I also cannot for the life of me find a way to translate the words “new” and “used” that show up at the bottom of individual listings on the overview page
Have you checked your search form? That is the only place where the listing condition is displayed. And I don’t see any ‘new’ or ‘used’ string in your screenshots. The strings are located in the file ‘src/functions.php’ and the auto_listings_conditions() function.

Lastly, how do I make the listing status (“new” / “used”) show up on the individual listing’s page?
Please modify the template content-single-listing.php to add that string.

1) Thanks!

2) I highlighted the part I was talking about: https://i.imgur.com/UmwBwcn.png
It accepted my translation of “Fahrzeug”, but “Used” remains the same.

3) What kind of string do I have to add in which line?

1) Setting it to “the_excerpt” instead of “the_content” does show the excerpt but it also breaks the entire overview page and nothing responds anymore…

Hi Chri,
No official support, but to shorten the text I’m using Classic Editor.
There’s a function Read more, insert that where you want to end the text.

Hope it helps!

Bruh… that actually does work. Thanks a ton!

Even replacing the words in the functions.php auto_listings_conditions() does nothing, it still displays the English “Certified”, “New”, and “Used”

I also tried only replacing one of the worse at a time, but it still yielded the same (lack of) results.

Given up on the new used certified issue a few years ago!
Same with price on request still displaying 0 even when I say hide price

Aww maan, it can’t be impossible.
I searched through all the plugin files again, nothing comes up that might suggest that “Certified” etc. is hardcoded anywhere.
No idea where it comes from.

@autolistings Any ideas? Changing it in the functions.php should have done it (from my limited understanding of PHP). It’s almost like there is some sort of cache that keeps holding on to the old version, but I don’t have any caching systems running right now.

I managed to display the $condition on the single listing page.
Still hoping for a way to translate it because it’s quite useless otherwise.

Hi, That’s kind of strange. So you couldn’t translate the words ‘New’, ‘Used’ and ‘Certificated’, right?
I’m not sure but there could be a problem in setting up with Loco Translate. Please send a ticket to [email protected]. We will handle this case for you.

Thank you.

@autolistings
There are more strings that cannot be translated with Loco Translate, including Our Team in Multiple Dealers.
Regards and stay safe

@autolistings Correct.
If it’s an issue with Loco Translate, it should at the very least show up when I actually edit the PHP files directly.
Maybe one of the files links to a php file that’s hosted on one of your servers and that’s where the untranslateable files come from (just a wild idea though).

I’ll give the support ticket a try, thanks!

@groenhart I have answered you on the ticket. Please check your inbox.

For anyone looking for a solution to this problem in the future:
The developers kindly shared the solution and allowed me to post it here:

The words “new”, “used” and “certificated” can’t be translated because they are values rather than strings within the plugin’s files.

In order to get rid of them, you simply need to add this bit of code to your (child theme’s) functions.php

add_filter( 'auto_listings_conditions', function( $options ) {
    return [
        'Neu' => __( 'Neu', 'auto-listings' ),
        'Gebraucht' => __( 'Gebraucht', 'auto-listings' ),
        'Zertifiziert' => __( 'Zertifiziert', 'auto-listings' ),
    ];
} );

(replace the each string with whatever you desire, of course)

Afterwards, go to your Auto Listings settings, confirm the new phrases and open up each individual listing and set its specific condition one more time and hit save.

Works perfectly for me now.
Thanks for helping me out, @autolistings !
