Problem:
Customer would like some insight in the update process of the Toolset plugins
Solution:
I shared with him two alternative to perform the update, automatically and manually.
For updating your Toolset components, you have a couple of options.
1- Automatic Update via the plugins page:
- Inside your wp-admin please go to Plugins -> Add New.
- Then click on the "Commercial" tab and click on the "Check for updates" button in the Toolset section
- After that please select every red plugin available in the list and then click on "Download" at the bottom of the grid.
2- If the automatic method is not suitable for you, you can also manually update your plugins. Here's how:
- Backup your website: Ensure you have a recent backup of your site's files and database.
- Deactivate and Delete Old Plugins: Navigate to wp-admin -> Plugins, deactivate and delete the current Toolset plugins.
- Download New Versions: Visit your Toolset account downloads page (https://toolset.com/account/downloads/) and download the latest versions of the plugins you need.
- Install New Plugins: Go to wp-admin -> Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin. Upload and activate the plugins you just downloaded.
Problem:
Customer would like to display pictures (icons), instead of checkbox values Solution:
Checkbox title accepts HTML code, it is possible to customize it as you need and display images for example. Relevant Documentation:
If this is not working right off the top, you might need to go through this errata and disable the sanitize via hook as described here: https://toolset.com/errata/html-in-toolset-custom-field-labels-is-stripped-when-saving-the-fields/
I'm encountering challenges creating a table using either the Grid or Table View options. With Table View, customization of the look and feel, such as shading rows and removing column borders, is not straightforward. Meanwhile, using the Grid repeats headings in every line, unlike the desired single heading on the first row.
Solution:
For creating a table, consider using the Views block and selecting Table mode. However, for styling customization, CSS code will be necessary as Toolset does not offer advanced styling features. You can add custom CSS classes to target tables for styling purposes.
