Shortcode Problems

Hi James!

Please post what you have so far and I’ll try to give you a hand with the rest of it ??

Hi Hector, thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

This is what I have at the moment, but its not showing the excerpt.

[wpp range=all stats_views=1 limit=30 post_type=post thumbnail_width=40 thumbnail_height=40 excerpt_length=100]

I have the website setup on a temperary domain. Here is a link to the page where the list will be showing: https://www.webbsdirectory.co.uk/most-popular-apps/

If you look to the right of the page you will see your plugin displaying “The Top 10 Most Popular Apps” by number of views and it looks good. I would like to show the top 50 on a page in the same style as the widget but with the excerpt included as well.

It would be also great if it had some paging feature that would allow me to show 20 at a time but I’m not sure if I can do that with your plugin. I need to get the spacing right also so that the list looks the same as in the widget.

If you click on any menu item under “windows Software”, you will see the kind of look I’m trying to achieve.

Any help you can give will be most appreciated.

James.

Ah, that’s because WPP’s shortcode doesn’t include the excerpt in the output ??

To include it, you’ll need to use the post_html parameter in conjunction with the {summary} content tag. For example:

[wpp range=all stats_views=1 limit=30 post_type=post thumbnail_width=40 thumbnail_height=40 excerpt_length=100 post_html='<li>{thumb} {title} {summary} {stats}</li>']

Adjust where needed ??

Thanks for all your help Hector, It looks better but try as I might, I cant get the summery to appear. I’m also not sure how to get the spacing right.

I’m wondering if in my case, it might be better to have the php hard coded for this as I would also like to display a list of between 60-100 posts at 20 posts per page and that would require paging. If this is something you could do for me, can you email me directly at: [email protected] and give me a quote please? I have some other bits I would like sorted as well

Many Thanks,

James.

Alright, I’ll take another look into it as soon as I can.

Sure, although I’m a bit busy at the moment with other projects I’ll try to book some time for this as well. I’ll let you know.

Thanks Hector, I’m in no immediate hurry. Please give me a shout when you have some time.

James.
