Howdy @v2belleville,
Punctuation in Shortcode
When I mentioned punctuation, I meant:
1. On the first shortcode the last quote mark was missing.
2. Sometimes (especially with copy/paste from web pages) you can get the incorrect character. Just after I typed your earlier response, I did this to myself.
For example, this:
// find the text to change
switch ($original) {
case ‘Qty’ :
return ‘Select’;
default:
return $translated;
}
is different than this:
// find the text to change
switch ($original) {
case ‘Qty’ :
return ‘Select’;
default:
return $translated;
}
And it all has to do with the actual character used for the single quote.
Output Template
content-single.php is the theme file to display a single post
Correct. That’s the case for many WordPress themes. My point is that the posts_loop_template.php file you find in the posts-in-page plugin directory is the default template used to render the output of the Posts in Page plugin.
If you open that file, you’ll see something like:
<!-- NOTE: If you need to make changes to this file, copy it to your current theme's main
directory so your changes won't be overwritten when the plugin is upgraded. -->
<!-- Start of Post Wrap -->
<div class="post hentry ivycat-post">
<!-- This is the output of the post TITLE -->
<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<!-- This is the output of the EXCERPT -->
<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<!-- This is the output of the META information -->
<div class="entry-utility">
<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
<span class="cat-links">
<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
</span>
<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
if ( $tags_list ):
?>
<span class="tag-links">
<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
</span>
<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
<?php endif; ?>
<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</div>
</div>
<!-- // End of Post Wrap -->
NOTE: there is NO call to get_header(); get_footer(); or get_sidebar(); as you might see in a normal theme. That’s because this output template is ONLY formatting the Loop you create using your ic_add_posts shortcode.
So, check your content-single.php file and if it’s a full template file, try this:
Copy the posts_loop_template.php file from the plugin directory into your main theme directory. Posts in Page will look there for it first, so if it’s there it’ll be used instead of the template included in the plugin folder.
Any shortcode you create now will be formatted according to the markup in that posts_loop_template.php file.
You’ll likely notice that some things are missing or you want to move things around. That’s fine – just tweak the posts_loop_template.php file you copy into your theme directory.
Does that help?
