How to get Custom Content Types working with GKNewsShow Pro?

I would like to know what I have to do to get custom content types to work with the GK News Show pro.
This is vital for me since the whole theme is based around widgets areas and the GK News Show pro widget.

Hi,

It will need a deeper ingerence into the module code. I can try to implement it for you in this weekend, but I'll need an FTP and administrator access to your website - if you agree, you can send it using the PM message and then I'll work with this problem on tommorow and on Sunday.

My current development site is on a local server, since the live site has around 100k visitors a month.

But I believe that many more people then me will find this very useful. Custom post types on a wordpress site is very common these days. And without GK news show pro this theme is useless.

Is it possible to make it available in the live version of the theme?

OK, I'll work with it on the weekend, then I'll release an information here about the works progress

That's Awesome!

Hi again,

As I've earlier promised, I've prepared the NSP widget with support for the Custom Post Types - I've modified the widget on the Fest theme (because it contains the custom post type - gavern_speakers).

So please replace the widget file with the attached one, and then you will see in the back-end for the "Data source" option "Custom post types" - then you have to specify in the below field the proper post type name (you can separate few post types with comma). Enjoy

Whoah, you are a legend dziudek! 10/10!

I will try it out tomorrow night

The widget update works perfect! Could not be happier with the suport and help from you dziudek

Note: People that would like to use this widget, dont forget to rename the file widget.nsp.php to widgets.nsp.php other wise it will not replace the actual file which is located in THEME/gavern.

Thanks again!

Maybe I cheered a bit to early, the NSP widgets are only fetching and presenting the latest post in each custom post type.

I have tried every solution I can come up with but cant get it to fetch all of the posts within the custom post types.

Could there be a little bug here?

You're right - I haven't saw it earlier, because the query was ok, but the problem was with the output functions. I've attached the fixed version - it should works correctly now

That problem got fixed, but I think it introduced another one. Now it only fetches one custom post type.

So say that I want to display movies and books in the same NSP widget, it only displays the first chosen one.

If I type movies,books only movies will be displayed. And the other way around books will be displayed.

Could you replace in the code widgets.nsp.php fragment:

Code: Select all

foreach($post_type as $type) {
   array_push($results, get_posts(array('post_type' => $type, 'numberposts' => $amount_of_posts)));
}

to:

Code: Select all

array_push($results, get_posts(array('post_type' => $post_type, 'numberposts' => $amount_of_posts)));


and check if it is working? Because currently I have no installations with more custom post types

That works perfect!

The edited file is attached below.

Good to hear it I'll implement this version in the nearest update
