Problem: I would like to show and hide certain accordion panels and their corresponding headers depending on conditional logic
Solution: It's not currently possible to surround entire accordion panels in conditional code, but you can use custom JavaScript and CSS to show and hide as necessary. Use conditional HTML output to place an element with a known CSS class in the panel. Target parent elements' classes and use .remove() as needed.
// example
jQuery('.hide-panel').closest('.panel').remove();
Problem: I would like to use datepickers to set a date range to filter my View
Solution: Views' native date range filters do not utilize datepickers. Instead, they utilize multiple select boxes to set individual date elements, like day, month, year, etc. If you want to use datepickers, you must implement a custom date field in your post type. This field must be automatically updated the first time a post is published. Then this custom field can be used as a date range filter with datepicker style controls.
The following code should be placed in functions.php:
function copy_custom_date_field_on_publish ( $post_id ) {
// only copy over the publish date on original maintenance-issue posts
$status = get_post_status( $post_id );
$pubdate = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-issue-date', true);
if ( $status != 'publish' || $pubdate )
return;
$pubdate = get_the_date( 'U', $post_id );
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-issue-date', $pubdate, '' );
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'copy_custom_date_field_on_publish', 1000 );
Problem: My filter controls are arranged in several Bootstrap columns, but the select element overflows the bounds of the column and appears on the same line as the label. I would like it to be on its own line and only as wide as the column without overflowing.
Solution: Ensure the HTML syntax surrounding your control elements is valid, with the proper opening and closing tags. Next, add CSS classes as needed to your select control using this format:
Problem: I have a View of parent posts. I would like to show the number of child posts for each parent post inside this View.
Solution:
1. Create a View to children posts. Choose the child post type in Content Selection and add a filter by post relationship. Choose “Select posts that are a children of the Post set by parent View.”
2. Then use the [wpv-items-count] shortcode inside of the output section to count items and display the result.
3. Now you must insert the children View inside of the parent view Loop Output editor. Make sure you place the View outside of the tags, or it will be repeated.
