Fields cannot be selected in Loop Wizard when using Views cells in a layout

Resolved

Reported for: Toolset Views 2.3.1

Resolved in: Toolset Views 2.3.2

Symptoms

Layouts includes specific cells for inserting Views and WordPress Archives. When editing a View or a WordPress Archive as a Layout cell and running the Loop Wizard, selecting fields might not be possible, as the dropdown is displayed behind the dialog.

Workaround

This problem will be fixed in our next release.

In the meantime, download this patch and replace the views_layout_edit_wizard.js file inside the../wp-views/res/js/redesign/ folder.

    • Hi there.

      Thanks for the feedback.

      We got this issue reported internally and we did test this fix before publishing this errata. Our tests confirmed the fix, but maybe we are missing something. Let’s try to solve it as soon as possible.

      Could you please open a support ticket if that is not the case, providing as much information as you can? Usually, our support team will ask you for a copy of your site, created using the Duplicator plugin, so we can see the issue on a local installation and debug it:

      Thanks in advance.

    • Hi there, Jean Luc

      Thanks for the feedback.

      Unfortuntely, we can not let users modify the installed versions of our plugins in discover-wp.com. That site always offers the latest, stable release for every Toolset plugin, and applying patches to individual sites, in addition to being problematic by nature, would mean that we would lose control of which version we offer, and that is somethig we can not afford.

      We usually apply security fixes right away on our discover-wp.com site, but this one, despite being a usability issue, should follow the usual development process, complete its testing cycle and get included in our next, not that distant, furure release.

      As a workaround for now, you can always insert the View cell in a layout, and then edit the View itself as a standalone element in the Toolset -> Views menu.

      Hope it helps.

    • Hi Juan, thanks for the reply. Yes I completely understood and I think I found a workaround with installing the stuff on my local server. I didn’t know it was possible, so in this manner I can apply the patch mentioned by Agnes.
      Thanks, Jean-Luc

    • Hi there

      We have double checked this with two different testers besides the developer, and the patch seems to be working fine. If that is not your case, it might be caused by something else and we might need that you open a support ticket to debug the problem.

      Thanks in advance.

    • It’s working for me now too. The only thing I did was turn off the computer for the night and turn it back on the next day. Maybe some kind of a caching thing. Thanks for following up.

  • I’m working on OSX 10.11.6
    I’m also getting this error but only in Firefox 52.0.2 (64-bit).

    After using the patch these are working OK now:
    Safari Version 10.1 (11603.1.30.0.34)
    Chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit)

    • Hi there

      We plan to include this on the upcoming Views 2.4, which is currently under testing. This has not been included in the just released Views 2.4-beta1, but will make it into the final, stable version.

      Regards.

  • Thanx. Patch solves the problem here. Using the Toolset Starter child. Latest Firefox on Windows 8.1. Worked after clearing the browser cache and logout/login.

  • It only works for me in Safari (Mac Sierra). Although it may be a browser cache thing in Firefox where I usually work.

    Very grateful for this.

  • Hi,

    I am using online toolset learning and I have the same issues in both firefox and chrome. I can’t use the patch, as it is online and I would really like to work through online to see if this is the right software to use

    • Hi Greig

      Thanks for the feedback

      As I stated above, we can not let users modify the installed versions of our plugins in discover-wp.com. That site always offers the latest, stable release for every Toolset plugin, and applying patches to individual sites, in addition to being problematic by nature, would mean that we would lose control of which version we offer, and that is somethig we can not afford.

      We are days away of releasing Views 2.4 which does include a fix for this.

      Thanks for your understanding.

      Regards.
