Shape 5

Hi guys,

Thank you very much for the nice theme and the plugins.

I am currently setting everything up, however I have not yet found a way to:

• change the ion icon (above camping etc) to ion-ios7-musical-note and to ion-android-book. It seem's like those are missing in my installation?
• how do I get to show up the next event in x days at bottom row1?
• instead of a youtube video, I'd like to show sth like this http://panorama-reklame.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/reepschlaegerhaus/build/reepschlaegerhaus.html#new_tab - is that possible on the start page ("lodge with us")? And if so, how?

Thanks so much!

Could you be more specific about the problem you're having with the ionicons?  The demo has a guide of how to use them, including links to a cheatsheet, and the official ionicons site.  http://shape5.com/demo/wp/attractions/features/more-vertex-features/ion-icons-integrated/

As for the other stuff you want, it sounds like you're looking for features that will require third-party plugins.  You may be able to find what you need on the official WordPress Plugin Repository (https://wordpress.org/plugins/), but it looks like that panorama thing isn't actually running on WordPress, it's just stored in the uploads folder of a WP site.  You may be able to contact the site owner to find out more about it, but it's not a Shape 5 product, so this is not the correct place to get support for it.

Hi Tristan,

Thank you very much for your reply. Sure, I'll try to be more specific.

1) ion icons:

<span class="s5accordionicson ion-ios7-musical-notes"></span> and <span class="s5accordionicson ion-android-book"></span> are not showing up. What could be the issue?

2) next event in

Please see below screenshot. Where can I edit the days, hours, mins? Havent found that in the tutorial... sorry if I missed it somewhere.

Thank you so much for taking your time to support me.

You should be able to change the countdown settings on the "Specific" tab of the theme options (Under the "Shape 5 Theme" admin menu option).

As for the ionicons -

Try using just "ios" instead of "ios7".

I'm not sure what would be causing the android one to not show up, but without a link to to your site so I can see what you're doing, I don't have any way to troubleshoot the problem.

Hi Tristan,

Great both worked, thank you so much!

However I still have the problem that the <span class="s5accordionicson ion-android-book"></span> is not showing up.

Also I am wondering where I can change the wording in the fields here?

If you search for "Book" on http://ionicons.com/ there are multiple "ion-ios-book" variants, and a couple "ion-android-bookmark" options, but no "ion-android-book".  Are you sure you have the right icon?

The reservations details are a Quick Contact widget located in the Custom 3 position.

I'm going to edit your post to remove the login details, but hopefully I was able to solve the issues you were having.

Hi Tristan,

That helped for the ion-icon, thank you so very much.

I am however still unsure about the quick contact widget. I don't see how to edit it in the widget area, nor in the plugin area. I am probably missing sth.

Also, thank you for removing the credentials.

Thanks so much again,

That's a custom HTML widget.  It looks like it calls the Quick Contact content from Custom 7.  I don't remember exactly how that demo was set up, but I think if you change the settings for the Quick Contact widget in Custom 7, it should change the output that's showing in Custom 3.

Hi Tristan,

That helped, thank you so much. Now I hope these are my last 2 questions regarding that :):

Can I change the date picker to another language as the rest of the website will be German?
And can have that contact layer open up not only there, but when user clicks on another button and if so, what would I need to do (i.e. is there an URL for that)?

Thank you so much for your support,
Anna

I'm not sure about those questions.  I'll ask the other developers and get back to you when I have an answer.  It might be a day or two.

Hopefully this helps:

Hi Tristan,

Thank you very much for your reply!  Both worked fine, thank you! :-)

3 more questions:

Template for new pages (no sidebar)
How can I tell a new page what template to use (full widths)? Even if I choose that there is no parent, it always displays the s5 accordion menu. After deleting that menu the place is still blocked on the right by white space. Only if I choose the parent "about-us" the page is displayed in full widhts.

Hide French English Flags next to search
How can I hide those?

Show Category & Labels next to blog posts
On the overview page of blog pots I'd like to show category / labels. Is there a way to do that? I see that I can add a menu like that, but how can I tell the menu to be displayed on the right site only on that overview blog page?

Thank you so much in advance!

   There are no page templates.  Everything layout related is controlled with widgets and Widget Context (https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-context/).  If a widget is showing on a page you don't want it on, or isn't showing on a page where you want it, you just need to go into the settings for that widget and change the filter for where it's shown or hidden.  The Accordion Menu widget is located in the "Right" sidebar.


   The language tags are a widget located in the "Language" sidebar.  You can remove the widget if you don't want it on your site, or change the Widget Context (https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-context/) settings to filter where it appears.


   If there is a widget that does what you want, you can just put it in whatever sidebar position you want, and use the Widget Context (https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-context/) settings to make it only show on the page that you want.

Hi Tristan,

Thank you very much, I am almost done :D.

Just some more translation questions:

• Startpage, at the top, Imagefade: How can I change the wording "prev" "next" (so that this is shown in German)
• Startpage, at the bottom, expected in: How can I change the wording "Days" "Hours" etc. (so that this is shown in German)
• Blog overview page: How can I change the wording "Written by", "Published" and "continue reading" (so that this is shown in German)
• Also regarding the newsletter subscription: "Error: Something went wrong, please try again later." > where can I change these wordings?

Thank you so much!

The prev/next on the slides is something that can be enabled and disabled in on the "Specific" tab of the theme options.  Unfortunately, I believe that to change the actual text would require editing javascript, but if you disable the text, it will restore the default arrows, which should look fine.

The countdown is also a setting on the "Specific" tab of the theme options.

The text related to the content is most likely located in either the "theme-globals.php" file or the "content.php" file.  You may also be able to use a translation plugin, so you don't have to edit any files.  The translation key is either "Vertex" or "vertex".

I believe that the error message for the MailChimp signup is something in the javascript that interacts with the MailChimp API; there are currently no settings that can change that.

Hi Tristan,

Again, thank you so much! I'll try to figure the mailchimp translation with a developer and let you know the results, if there are any positive ;-)

Now some -hopefully last questions:

0) I am getting a debug error message in internet explorer which looks like this:

(https://img1.picload.org/image/dooacaww/debug.jpg)

1) I was able to change translation of "read more" , however only the link, not the button (see my red markings for which translation is still missing).

As I am doing the site for a very small NPO I do not want to use a translation plugin, as it will cost and the site will only be in German, so it's just a one-time change.

The other thing on the blog page is that comments are deactivated in frontend, although the option to comment is enabled within backend. Do you have any idea why this could be the case?


(https://img1.picload.org/image/dooacoga/readmore.jpg)


2)Startpage blog entrys are somehow not shown correctly (picture of second blog post is only shown by mouseover). Also the "load more" button would need to be translated.

https://picload.org/view/dooairpr/loadmore.jpg.html

It would also be great to translate "All"

3) How can I remove the credits entry regarding shape 5 and wordpress in the footer?

I'll have to forward your post to one of the other developers for the Masonry stuff, I haven't worked with the Javascript for Masonry. 

The home page post display is actually a Masonry widget, so you may be able to look at the widget settings to see about changing the text;  I'm not sure about the issue with the image not loading, that may be caused by the Javascript error.


The "Read More" button under posts is located in the content.php file, a few lines above the "Posted in" and "Tagged" text; near line 80. 

As far as the comments being disabled; they are probably disabled on the actual post.  There's a setting in WordPress that allows you to have each post disable comments after a certain number of days; generally for the demos that number is very low, so we don't get spam on the demo sites.  You'll want to check the general comment settings to make sure comments aren't disabled too quickly or filtered too much, and then if you want to enable them on all existing posts, you should be able to go to the post list, select all, then enable comments from the "bulk" actions.

The footer can be replaced by putting a widget in the "Footer" position.  If you just want to remove the default footer, a blank widget can be used.

According to the information that I was given, the missing image from the second masonry post is an intentional feature of the theme; it is designed to switch between an image and a solid color for alternating posts - there should be some CSS controlling it.

The "Load More" text and any other text in Masonry is pulled from a file in the "language" sub-folder of the widget, you should be able to translate things in that file.

For the error in Internet Exploder, is Masonry failing to work correctly?  If everything is still functioning as it is supposed to, then the error shouldn't matter.  IE has been discontinued, so it may be possible that it just isn't capable of doing some things.
