Hi

Yes, you can do that, but you need to know either PHP or HTML/CSS and perhaps Javascript too in order to accomplish your goal, and it takes some coding (no longer than half an hour I suppose).

So, what you need to do is grab hold of two plugins: “Shortcode Exec PHP” in which you will be able to define the shortcodes yourself (no PHP knowledge required, you can just create HTML snippets in it) – but you don’t need shortcodes at all to do what you want, so that’s optional. Make sure you check the option to enable shortcodes in that plugin’s associated widgets (which allow using code to get, display and format content too – that’s why shortcodes aren’t necessary).

You may also need a secondary plugin “Widget Logic” (there are others that do the same) which you can use to specify on which pages to show different widgets (if you only know HTML, you will need to create a widget for each page).

Then copy the code from the template files in the en-US directory within “Post Notification” plugin’s folder and copy the registration snippet to your code widgets, modifying them as you like (you need to set the “checked” attribute on the corresponding ‘<input type=”radio”‘ element from the HTML subscription form in the case of per-category registration for example, and hide them all using the CSS rule “display: none”).

However, if you know PHP, there’s no need for any of the above plugins, as you can simply use a conditional statement and WordPress’ built-in API functions to check for the current page type, current category and dynamically display content.

Good luck!

Yes, I was confused and had quite a hard time figuring it out… I don’t think the author’s English skills are good enough, although (s)he makes no grammar mistakes… it’s almost as if the incoherence is on purpose, that’s how confusing the texts are :(.

So, I agree with editing the front-end php files too. Overall, very good advice and clarification! The plugin is not likely to be updated soon anyway…

I’m translating the template files into Romanian if anyone is interested.

I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that, but maybe it would be better to start a different topic for your support issue, as this one has already been marked as “solved”.

I find myself singing “It’s a pity” again ?? Is it really that difficult to not replace the src attribute of script tags for URLs in the exclusion list?

The plugin already processes the source code of the page anyway, it just needs to skip those URLs based on path mask ??

I’ll just disable minification until I finish the development stage (during which many modifications to source code are being made) ??

Well, that auto-minification with script/style exclusions can be implemented later. Total Cache is great just the way it is anyway. Thank you by the way.

The fix works ?? Thank you for this useful plugin!

Now I see that the first editor renames the loaded shortcode script when saving instead of saving the script as a separate shortcode ?? that (loading/saving) functionality would remove the necessity for the second script editor (the “add new shortcode” form with the ID attribute “scep-new”).
