Expansion Pack

Hi Ralf,

I can only answer one of your questions; I am (also) a user of the Expansion pack, and its updates come hassle free: because it is installed as a plugin, whenever there’s an update for it, the plugin’s page will say so, and you can update through there (:

I hope someone will help you with your second query, for I’m afraid I have no knowledge about it…

Greets,
Kiyo

Hello Ralf, please find my comments below, in the same order:

1. Yes, the Expansion Pack includes lifelong updates, and features update notifications since version 2.0 (i.e. similar to any plugin hosted on www.remarpro.com): when a newer version is available, you will see a corresponding notification in the Plugins section of your WP admin. For the reference, the current version is 2.1.

2. Yes, this was a conscious decision when this feature was being added to Bento. It looks like indeed it might be useful to expand it to posts as well at this point. We will add this to the next theme update – meanwhile, if you need it asap, here’s the customization you’ll need to perform: edit line 308 in the base theme’s /includes/post-settings.php file, from the existing
'object_types' => array( 'page' ),
to become
'object_types' => array( 'page', 'post' ),
Please let me know if this works for you!

Hi there,

@kiyo thanks for your answer. Of course it’s clear to me that it’s a plugin, but there’s never been an update for me. The reason seems to be: I’ve only the version 1.0 and obviously there were no updates.

@satoristudio thank you also for your answer.

1.) Since I still use version 1.0 of the expansion pack, I haven’t “bought” any updates, right? Conversely, this means, if I would like to come in the enjoyment of all the latest updates that I would have to purchase version 2.0, also correct?

2.) After changing the code of the functions now the maps settings will displayed below the post, but unfortunately (although a correct api key & an address is deposited) no map data is loaded. Unfortunately, I only get an empty container displayed and no error message, which would tell me exactly where the error is to be found. That’s why I do not understand where the problem is? Any ideas? Or maybe I’ve to adjust anything besides the change in the fuctions-code?

I am looking forward to an answer, say thank you again and wish you (both) a nice evening.

Greetings from Germany
Ralf

P.S.: Here are two additional screenshots for the comparison:

1. I guess so it should look, at least if you look at the feature preview of the bento theme.

2. That’s how it looks like for me. Although the corresponding entries are made in the settings, the container does not even show the styling info. Therefore, the question (in the thread before) if anything else needs to be adjusted except the code in the functions.

1). You can download the latest version of the Expansion Pack at no additional cost, using the like in your original purchase receipt email – in case the link doesn’t work for any reason, please email me at support[at]satoristudio.net, we’ll sort this out.

2). Does the same map on pages work in your case? (i.e. is it only the post that is misbehaving?). Also, could you please check the Javascript console to see if there are any error messages there – if yes, please paste them here or send over a screenshot. Thanks for your patience!

I’m once again positively impressed by your quick response. Keep up the good work, it’s really awesome!

1) Sounds great, thanks a lot. Unfortunately, the link doesn’t work anymore and displayes the message “no permission to download” on my screen! I’ll send you a mail later.

2) It also didn’t work on pages, but it was up to me (respectively wrong settings in the google cloud platform). Thanks to your valuable advice maybe to get a glimpse into the JS console: I was able to find the mistake and eliminate it successfully. Now everything works as it should.

Oh my gosh, really Amazing what you can experience in the console, if you remember to use it properly… ??
Sorry for taking your time, but sometimes you don’t see the forest because of too many trees. A little crazy sometimes…

Glad to hear the map issue is resolved! I’ll reply regarding the first one via email.
