I have a new development related to this issue. I just noticed that since I deactivated Subscriptions to do the test you requested and turned it back on, now the Forum Subscriptions button in not appearing in the user Profile under the Subscriptions tab. How do I get this back?
Sorry, I just realized I posted this to the wrong thread. I’ve got two support issues going at once.
I still would like to get the other post listing short codes working. Andy, have you had a chance to look at my sandbox page yet? It only lists posts in our For Sale/Wanted forum if your are not logged in since that is the only one that’s publicly accessible.
sorry, which shortcodes do you want to use? if you tell me which template function you want to use, can tell you the shortcdoe, if it exists – not all our template functions have shortcoodes…
and you never answered my questions in post #15…
Steve,
I assumed your questions in post 15 were based on post 14, which I said in post 16 was a mistaken post related to another thread on a different problem I’m having. So your questions seemed irrelevant to the issue this thread is discussing.
Post 11 lists the short codes that are not working for me and shows an example of the output I get when using one of them in a widget. Andy asked for a link to a page where I’m using it so he could look at, which I provided in post 13, but I have not heard back from him yet. Also, Andy questioned where I had gotten the short codes I am using and I showed where I found them in post 13.
I have tried many of the short codes in sp-template-tags-plulgin.php, and a couple of them work fine “sp-hot-topics” and “sp-recent-posts”, but the others listed in post 11 do not work – the forum and topic names are blank. That’s the problem I’m trying to solve.
first, shorcodes are identical to the template functions… its just another way of doing the same thing depending on where you are doing it… reply to one your statements in post 11…
will try to take a look at this later tonight or tomorrow morning… will have to do some set up to individually test…
looks like there are 4 of the template tags in the plugin (not just shortcode) in the plugin that need to be fixed up… they were knocked in the latest release a few days ago….
will get them fixed up…
Thanks for fixing this, Steve. This resolves all my issues with the template tags plugin. It’s working great for me now. I do realize that short codes do the same thing as template functions. But I’m not quite ready to start playing with the template files. I’m sure I’ll get there eventually, but for now I’m content to work with the short codes since they are giving me what I need right now.
