Table of Reviews

    I’m trying to add a table of reviews similar to this one https://recencio.com/table-of-reviews/

    I found the [rcno-table] shortcode, which kind of works. Is there a better shortcode? This code produces the table but it only populates the title, date published, and rating. The author, publisher, genre, and ISBN are blank.

    Also, how do I remove some of those columns? I feel comfortable leaving off publisher, ISBN, and date published to leave room for columns that are more important to me. I’ve tried [rcno-table publisher=0] and [rcno-table exclude="publisher"]but neither does anything.

    Thank you!

    This shortcode is a work in progress as some features do not work.

    One of these feature is the displaying taxonomies. The issue is related to the JavaScript library I am using to render the table and how it handles anchor tags and multiple anchor tags per table cell.

    This reviews table feature was a request from a user whose use case didn’t involve taxonomies.

    Overall, it is not ready for general public use.

    So is there a shortcode for displaying reviews without the book covers?

    There is no such shortcode.

    Okay. I’ll use the grid of covers.

    Is there an easy way to make a page like this list of authors? https://recencio.com/authors/

    This is the [rcno-tax-list tax='author'] shortcode. With the Settings > Extra > Index Pages > Book covers set to off.

    Also, I will complete the table shortcode by Friday. The only thing missing would be display multiple taxonomies in 1 table cell. It will just pick the first if for example a book has multiple authors.

    That code works perfectly! Thank you! Is there a way to sort by the author’s last name instead of first? It’s perfectly fine the way it is if that’s a lot of work though.

    Only displaying the first author in the table sounds reasonable to me. Thank you so much!

    Doesn’t the “Sort author names” setting work here?

    No, I have the box for sorting by last name checked in the Extra tab in the settings but it’s still sorting by first name. Is that where you mean?

    There seems to be a bug with that feature, I fix it in an update by Friday.

    Hey try using [rcno-tax-list tax='rcno_author'] instead with the last name, first name setting.

    Yes! That worked!

    I also just noticed that when I choose half stars when I’m writing the review, it’s rounding up to the next whole star on the published review. I just rated something 4.5 stars but it’s showing up as 5.

    Hello @captaincurls,
    Sorry for the delayed response, I was out ill for a bit.

    This is a shortcoming of the plugin right now, displaying half-stars on the frontend has been problematic. I must mention though that Google will see the correct rating even if the visual display is off.

    Also, I recently found a new library to handling the stars and it supports display fractional stars.
