    Hi,

    I’m struggling to get your plugin to integrated in my custom theme I’m developing for a client and require some assistance…

    1. I’ve managed to create the single-listing.php and archive-listing.php files and my pages are showing property listings as required. However, I’ve already built a custom listing and search results page that I would need to use as a skin. I’ve followed the instructions on how to create a custom theme, but I’m not sure how to enable any other theme besides the default one. For example, as instructed, I have content-listing-single and loop-listing-blog-default in the plugin folder lib/templates/themes/{MY THEME NAME}/easypropertylistings, but there is no further instruction on how to actually enable it…
    2. I purchased the Slider plugin and I cannot activate it because of the following error message: The plugin generated 203 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.
    3. Any way to customize the slider to use a Bootstrap carousel that I already have setup?
    4. Is there anyway to customize the HTML output of each data field? For example, I want certain data points to output HTML with styles that are consistent with the rules I’ve already created (custom classes, etc)…or do I have to customize around the HTML and CSS that are already output?
    5. Any way to show/hide fields on the dashboard back-end? My client won’t be a number of them.

      I would strongly prefer if a support agent could log in to my site and perform this work for me…is this a possibility? I’ve nearly completed my theme and am currently stuck on this portion and really need this up urgently.

      Thanks

    Re 1: Once that file is in your theme folder it will be loaded automatically by the plugin. Can you provide WordPress login and FTP details please.

    2. Finalising a Slider update. Even with the error it should still activate.

    3. Need more details. URL?

    4. The majority of outputs have unique classes that can be styled. And yes there are a number of filters to adjust the output of values.

    5. Yes we can assist you with this.

    Hi Ben,

    I’ve updated the archive-listing.php file for you and changed your site permalinks.

    * I’ve commented out your code so you can now copy and paste it where it needs to go based on the template.
    * to use custom templates you need to create an folder easypropertylistings inside your theme. When you update a plugin all files are deleted and replaced. I’ve done this for you and added EDITABLE TEMPLATE

    Here is a video tutorial on how to create your own custom templates

    Hi Merv,

    Thank you for your assistance in this matter… I have reviewed the video and have done quite a bit of work in customizing my templates as needed. However, I would need your guidance with the following:

    • I’ve edited the content-listing-single.php and loop-listing-blog-default pages to the best of my ability, but the gallery is displaying thumbnails vertically and cutting off the top image. Can you please fix this so that the thumbnails go horizontally below the main image with 8 columns? See single-listing-custom.php for the HTML the way I had it – I would strongly prefer if we could go with a bootstrap carousel here, as it’s already coded. Is there a way to do that?
    • How do I remove the carousel feature on the search listings featured image? I just need one image per result in the search results
    • I’ve edited class-property-meta.php to customize the output of certain EPL tags, as well as functions.php and template-functions.php to add custom EPL tags that I needed. Can I do this safely without worrying about my changes being overwritten if I update your plugin?
    • I need to add the following meta data to the listing: a field for MLS number, a field to specify the number of floors that gets grouped with property tabs (beds, baths, etc), and a boolean “Featured” checkbox. I know how to edit the class-property-meta.php, so if you can add this to work like the other items I can add that in.
    • How do I get pagination to show up on the search listings page? What about total number of listings found?
    • As you can see on the site, I have other areas that would simply loop over the featured properties on the home page and the 2 column template pages. All the HTML and CSS is already there, I just need the data coming in (similar to how you would loop over a custom post type). Can we do this?
    • Can we get an AJAX call for “archived” listings on the search results page? Let’s assume archived means listings with a “Sold” status
    • After we tackle these issues, there shouldn’t be much left before I can launch this thing. Thanks again for your patience – your assistance is highly appreciated!

    Hi Merv,

    I have not heard any response yet in regards to the matters listed above…

    I did read that the team was on vacation as of the 22nd and support will be limited. Can I please get an ETA on when I should expect to get assistance with this? This is the only last remaining task on my website to be delivered by the latest at end of week.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Sorry Ben, been very busy and have had difficulty in getting to support this week after releasing 12 software updates on Friday. Also am finding that my notifications are not getting to me/getting lost and are working on a change to the support desk moving forward.

    Please update Easy Property Listings to 2.3 and Sliders to 1.1.

    Will address what I can for you below

    ————-

    I’ve edited the content-listing-single.php and loop-listing-blog-default pages to the best of my ability, but the gallery is displaying thumbnails vertically and cutting off the top image. Can you please fix this so that the thumbnails go horizontally below the main image with 8 columns? See single-listing-custom.php for the HTML the way I had it – I would strongly prefer if we could go with a bootstrap carousel here, as it’s already coded. Is there a way to do that?

    All you need to do is adjust the slider settings to give you the desired look. I’ve adjusted them for a better display.

    How do I remove the carousel feature on the search listings featured image? I just need one image per result in the search results
    http://69.195.124.175/~stevepow/wp-admin/admin.php?page=epl-extensions Click Archive and choose disable
    — I need to do video demos of how the newer extensions work, just been busy making sure the code was done.

    I’ve edited class-property-meta.php to customize the output of certain EPL tags, as well as functions.php and template-functions.php to add custom EPL tags that I needed. Can I do this safely without worrying about my changes being overwritten if I update your plugin?
    — You need to use filters and hooks to modify the plugin safely. What did you change?

    I need to add the following meta data to the listing: a field for MLS number
    — (Same as unique ID) , a field to specify the number of floors that gets grouped with property tabs (beds, baths, etc), and a boolean “Featured” checkbox. I know how to edit the class-property-meta.php, so if you can add this to work like the other items I can add that in.

    How do I get pagination to show up on the search listings page? What about total number of listings found?
    — Dashboard > Easy Property Listings > Settings > Fancy pagination (set to Yes use fancy pagination)

    As you can see on the site, I have other areas that would simply loop over the featured properties on the home page and the 2 column template pages. All the HTML and CSS is already there, I just need the data coming in (similar to how you would loop over a custom post type). Can we do this?
    — yes but unclear

    Can we get an AJAX call for “archived” listings on the search results page? Let’s assume archived means listings with a “Sold” status
    — Shortcodes

    — [listing post_type=property status=sold limit=100]
