Problem: I would like to hide the The7 menu item in the wp-admin area based on User capabilities.
Solution: I'm not sure if the7 offers the ability to control the display of this menu with capabilities. That's something you would need to find out from their support team. If so, you can add that capability here and manage it with Access. If not, then you'll probably need some custom code to remove the menu page. Something like this will hide the menu from everyone except Administrators:
How can I create a view that displays the most viewed post on top, the less seen on the bottom of the list generated?
Solution
The sort, ordering or even querying by a "post-view" count would not be the problem in Toolset, the issue is more that we would need to add a tracking system to somehow count views of Posts.
If you find a Plugin that adds this in form of PostMeta, then you can use this information to order or query a View output.
Problem: Will upcoming changes to the Google Maps API pricing structure affect my site?
Solution: The changes in Google Maps will certainly apply to your site, but may or may not affect your site in a noticeable way. In plain language, Google is enforcing a fee for each address that the site converts to a location on a map. Those fees are charged to the API Key owner, not to Toolset. Google will give you $200 worth of this service each month at no charge. For the majority of our clients, this free service tier is sufficient for their needs and they will never incur any additional cost. However, if in one month you add a large number of new points on a map, or clear your existing geolocation cache in Toolset > Settings > Maps, you may exceed the $200 threshold. If you exceed the $200 free trial per month, your site Users may be shown error messages on your maps, and distance filtering may not work as expected.
In technical terms, Toolset uses the Google Maps API to convert each address when it is first entered or saved, then stores that address's location on the map in a cache for future use. This means that the locations that have already been mapped will not be charged again, only new addresses saved on the site. If you empty the location cache, you will be charged to convert those addresses the next time they are shown on a map. If your site implements static maps, you may be charged according to Google's policies for those maps as well, but most people don't use these.
The issue here was that the user had a query filter on his view to filter for a criteria but also wanted to add that same filter on the frontend in a parametric search.
Solution:
Unfortunately this is not possible because you can only have 1 of the same filter on a view at a given time. If you are using that same taxonomy or custom field as a fixed query filter then it can't be used in a parametric search.
