Feedback and Request

  • I love this plugin so much, it’s the only plugin that does exactly what I need except for one major show stopper – it doesn’t work with posts, only pages.

    Please update this plugin to support posts as we don’t really use pages (this is probably the case for many).

    Or can you provide a code snip that I can use to put the Progress Tracker in the attributes of a post?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the feedback – the problem with posts is that they don’t have a ‘parent’ so we don’t know how to categorize them on a ‘next page’ basis.

    How did you imagine it working? Adding the shortcode to a post simply adds the ‘next / back buttons’ along with the ‘Marked as read’ options and then next / back buttons go to the next post ordered by date?

    I’m sure we can add posts if you give me a better understanding of how it would paginate.

    Hi Alex

    Thanks for replying I know you must be busy so appreciate it.

    our website model basically uses Posts which are like Tasks that contain To-Do’s. Progress Tracker is perfect because it allows tracking these tasks, i.e. Not Started, Completed, etc. Pages on the other hand are just static About, Contact Us, etc. pages.

    I understand what you’re saying about Posts not having a parent, but was wondering if this could work with Post Categories as Parent? Or maybe even including in the plugin a way to add a Parent Post by manipulating SQL.

    Ultimately though, if this plugin worked with Posts, I would pay top dollar for it ??

    Top dollar eh? Ok, I think we can work something out for a couple of billon in gold bullion.

    I like the category idea, it makes sense to me. What about the order though? It would have to be either a-z by title or by date posted asc to desc
    Does that sound about right?

    Yep, top dollar! *within the reach of affordability for me ?? These changes would also benefit others. For example you could have the free plugin do pages, and the premium (paid) do posts!

    I think there are a few ways to go about the grouping of posts. Most of which I am not qualitified to compare if good or bad. But have done some research and some options may be:

    Register custom post type that uses Parent post ??

    Group posts by taxonomies (tags/categories)

    Let me know what you think
