If an issue like that happens and then goes away, it usually means you got bit by a cache imp. I’ve definitely had that happen, and it usually goes down like this:
- I break something.
- I view it in the browser and it (or the server) decide to cache at that moment
- I fix the issue.
- I look in the browser. Still looks broken.
- I stare, bewildered at my code as to how the same thing I’ve always done is now not working.
- I cry out to the heavens and curse out my profession, computer, etc..
- The cache decides to clear, everything works, and I’m deeply offended.

Why are you hooking the my_init_function to the init filter? I’d just cut the code out of the function and run it directly. The plugin file is running at its intended time, you don’t need to put all that in the init hook unless you’re doing something specific to that point. Chances are since you’re doing that the shortcode function isn’t running since you’re already in the init context when you go to add it.
Hope this helps!

@ebarroso: It’s important to understand that the function I suggested shouldn’t be used inside something like single.php to get the posts you should be already getting. Doing this would be redundantly querying the posts again after WordPress has already done this for you. Follow what Steve put up concerning the template hierarchy.
The get_posts function is useful in a context where the posts aren’t already queried. For example, if you want to grab the recent blog posts on the home page.
You could also use the get_posts function, which would return you an array of WP_Post objects. You’d then loop through them with a foreach. This is my preferred method.
$posts = get_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'qps', 'numberposts'=> -1 )); foreach($posts as $post) { $url = get_post_permalink($post->ID); echo "<p><a href='$url'>$post->post_title</a></p>"; // etc.. }Note, however, that if you use get_posts you handle the array of objects like you would any other time in PHP. You can no longer use the loop functions (e.g. the_title(), the_content(), etc.) as you’re not using the wp_query object and are therefore not inside “the loop”.
Hope this helps!
I believe the file field stores it as a serialized single row. Try:
$image_ids = get_post_meta($post_id, 'img_sec', true);Since you’re already using print_r, I suggest using that on $image_ids to help you know the structure of what you’re dealing with.
Hope this helps! 🙂
Hi Steve,
I was thinking as part of the Setting Page comment block. And the button I’m referring to is the submit button, which can be defined as part of the piklist_admin_pages array. So the following would be a tab with a submit button that says “Import”:
/* Setttings: my-plugin-settings Tab: Import Submit Button: Import Now */And this would be a page with no submit button at all:
/* Settings: my-plugin-settings Tab: Overview Submit Button: false */Does that make sense? 🙂
Glad to help! If you have any issues feel free to add an Issue on github or make a pull request to add anything! I’m hoping folks will start adding to that more once they use Piklist regularly and have an idea of what would be useful. 🙂
Glad to help! Like I said, too much freedom to the user can be more encumbering than liberating. If I want them to have genuinely free control over a section, I’ll use the WYSIWYG.
Hopefully Steve or someone who uses the Piklist template features will chime in, but I don’t personally use them.. the reason is the one that you’re experiencing now. I just want Piklist to store and retrieve the data for me, and I’ll determine how best to handle/manipulate it from there.
If it’s a group, then I use my PiklistHelper::parse_array function to put it in an easier structure.
I just use a foreach, parse through the content, and build the content. For example:
$boxes = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'boxes_example', true); $boxes = array_reverse(PiklistHelper::parse_array($boxes)); $list = ''; foreach($boxes as $box) $list .= "<h2>{$box['caption']}</h2><p>{$box['content']}</p>"; echo $list;Something like that, anyway. Now you can manipulate the array of data as you would any other array in php. No framework limitations. Hope this helps! 🙂
You could do something very similar to that using a group field with the add_more option turned on. From there, use a conditional for a select field (or something) to determine which fields to display.
Without doing something very clever, it won’t work quite like what you’re seeing in the video in the link you’ve provided (columns, etc.). Honestly, though, I rarely offer that level of customization. I have complex fields, but it’s more to guide the user through an existing design. I use Piklist to provide the exact sorts of fields that will help the user customize within the design, but not break outside of it. That way, no matter what they do (within reason) the site will always look good. Mind you, if you’re designing open-ended themes, that can be tough.
So, in short, you can do something very similar to that, but I’ve not personally had a need for that on the 5 themes I’ve developed with Piklist.
Hope this helps! 🙂
Greetings!
May I ask why you’re attempting to embed it within the theme versus using the plugin? What’s the merit?
Ok, I wondered if that’d do it. Try using the disable method then: http://api.jqueryui.com/sortable/#method-disable
You may need to timeout for 100ms or so to make sure that you disable it after it’s already been enabled. Try first without a timeout, though.
Please let us know if that does the trick!
Until it’s supported, you could use javascript to remove the ui-sortable class from the divs of interest. If, for example, your repeatable field has a name of “my-repeated-field”, then this should work:
$('#_my-reapeated-field').find('.ui-sortable').removeClass('.ui-sortable');That’s untested, but something like that should work just fine. Notice the underscore (added by Piklist) to the front of the field name.
Hope this helps! 🙂
@steve- Hmm.. well, I actually just added this to the Piklist core. I was more curious than anything. I’ll email this to you. You’re welcome to use it if you and Kevin feel that could be a reasonable part of the core. If you’d rather not use it, then I’ll just add this functionality to the PiklistHelper class.
I was thinking about the ‘piklist_add_part’ hook, but it didn’t occur to me to do $data[‘role’] = ‘no-role’ as a way of tricking Piklist into not showing it. To be honest, that feels a bit clunky to me. Why not allow the user to return false and add an if ( false === $data ) return; after the apply_filters?
Thanks!
