How do slugify & glue formating work?

  • Hey guys,

    first of all: Great plugin!

    I have tried various combinations and I cannot find my mistake. I want to achieve two things:

    1. If fields contain spaces those spaces should be transformed into dashes. It tried to use slugify=true to get this done. It did not work however.
    2. When a field is a checkbox, I would like to output the values separeted only by space and not the comma. I tried to use glue=” ” to get this done.

    Both did not work, no matter where I put those formatting options.

    This is how my shortcode looks:
    <div class="[array attribute each=true slugify=true][field schwierigkeit][/array] [array attribute each=true][field wertigkeit][/array] [array attribute each=true glue=" "][field skill][/array]">

    The output would however look like this:
    <div class="sehr einfach hoch Programmieren, Texten, Designen, Kommunizieren">
    “sehr einfach” comes from one custom field, so it should be separated by -. “Programmieren, Texten, Designen, Kommunizieren” come from a checkbox and should be separated by space.

    What do I need to do to achieve this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi, thank you for describing the issue, and sorry for the late response.

    The slugify and glue parameters are for the [field] shortcode, so they don’t work with [array]. In the latest update, I added the feature to array so it should work as expected. However, I still think it may make more sense to use the field shortcode for this.

    <div class="[array attribute each=true][field schwierigkeit slugify=true][/array]...">

    For glue, all it does is to add an extra character each time it loops. This can be simplified by just putting the character there, like: [array attribute] [field skill slugify=true][/array]. This will insert the single space before [field] every time, separating the values.

    Thanks for the info. How do I get rid of the separating commas, though?

    I think each=true should do it?

    Hi Eliot,

    unfortunately, [array attribute each=true] [field skill slugify=true][/array] does not do the trick.

    Using that the individual fields are connected with “-“, so it gets: value-1-value-2-value-3

    To be able to use it as a css class we need it like value-1 value-2 value-3, though.

    Do you have any idea how this can be done? Or is it a bug in the plugin?

    Thanks for your support.

    Hi Eliot,

    can you please assist?

    Thanks
