Resolved Details section on pages

[amalseed]

Hey @Alex, the last real little bit of customisation or styling I want, is to have a page details section on my website, something like:

Compare Personal Loans - RateCity

Our online personal loan comparison search tool lets you compare personal loans from different lenders within Australia.

www.ratecity.com.au

Income Protection Insurance Comparison [10+ Australian Brands] | Finder

Compare income protection from trusted brands such as AAMI and NobleOak. Get monthly payments of up to 75% of your salary if you can’t work.

www.finder.com.au

Is that something that is easy or too hard for here? I think it will just really top my site off.

This looks like a good use for MD's byline, which we remove from pages by default. The author avatar, name, and last updated date are part of MD's default byline and it is possible to add other items.

My question for you is do you want to show this on every page or just a few handpicked ones, or some other criteria?

 

[amalseed]

I only want to show it on my compare pages, so it might be about 200 pages, but I would need to pick the pages it is on.

Hey @Alex, what are you thinking on this one?

Hey @Alex, what are you thinking on this one?

I've always wanted to add an "Add byline" option to the MD Layout settings for pages, and this has given me a chance to do so. From there if you wanted to add further byline items, those could easily be hooked in.

I will have a patch up for MD shortly that willa dd this functionality so you can set bylines on a per page basis.

That would be awesome, I think it will really make a huge difference to my site.

Hey @Alex, sorry I don't want to be a pest, but is this something that can be done pretty soon or not really...?

This will be a really important section for me.

 

[Alex]

Thanks for the reminder, I can definitely get this implemented shortly! We are just launching 5.4 right now which has a highly improved upgrades system, so sending the byline tweak will actually be very easy.

 

[amalseed]

That would be awesome man...

Hey Adam, thanks for your patience with this one. I've just implemented this into MD5.4.1 which you can now update from your admin panel. To update, go to MD > Settings and click "Check for updates". You should see the new version there. This release adds the as-promised "Add byline" setting to the Layout meta box on your pages, so you can select which pages get a byline added to them.

If you need to customize the byline further, let me know and we can add custom items there pretty easily!

 

[amalseed]

Legend, I will have a look at it very soon...

Hey @Alex, I have updated me site and added a byline to page: https://fittco.com.au/amino-acids/

See image attached of what I want to achieve, I think it could be done using popups.

So how would I go about adding 2 popups with icons in the byline at the end - Verified & Approved / Advertiser Information

 

[amalseed]

Hey @Alex, any thoughts on how I would achieve this?

 

[Alex]

Hi @amalseed, thanks for your patience with my reply. I have been recovering from an illness over the holidays.

I can put together a tutorial for this shortly as it's useful for others to know.

Hey @amalseed, check out these two doc articles I wrote. The first one will show you how to add custom links to the byline, and the next one will show you how to create popups. There is some development required but I can help you troubleshoot your way through if you have any questions:

Add custom items to post byline with admin controls

From MD > Site Design > Content you can control the different items that show in your post and page bylines with simple checkbox controls. Marketers Delight supports many byline items already…
