Implemented Docs Dropin - Change Wording

[amalseed]

Hey guys, how would I change the wording (see attached) on the docs dropin, as I want to use it for Q&A's.

 

[Alex]

Glad to see you using the Docs Dropin!

The easiest way to change the labels is to open up /dropins/docs/docs.php and change the labels in the taxonomies and post_type functions:

Thanks mate... But it still hasn't changed the top line (breadcrumb), where do I change that?

See link: https://fittco.com.au/questions/

Also, on the category page of the docs, it hasn't changed the Search Box text, see link: https://fittco.com.au/questions/diet-nutrition/

 

[amalseed]

Hey Alex, any thoughts on how I can get this sorted?

 

[Alex]

Yes, these are both related to a couple of changes I am going to release in a patch update you can make now if you'd like. This involves making simple edits to core MD files that will be in the next release already:

1) Edit /themes/marketers-delight/searchform.php and change line 12 to:

$source = ucwords( get_post_type() );

2) Edit /themes/marketers-delight/templates/breadcrumbs.php find the hard coded "Docs" string and change it to what you'd like. In the next update this will automatically generate the post type name, so if you renamed it to "Questions" as in my last reply it will show here automatically.

Let me know how that works for you. The questions library you've setup looks AWESOME on your site!

Thanks Alex, the search box still says 'Search Docs'?

What do you think the overall site so far..?

Also, on this page https://fittco.com.au/martial-arts/, the email form below the boxes, is there a way I can just create this email form once, and then just apply to different areas of the site.

So if I was to make a text change, it would update all the email forms like this, and I don't have to go to every page.

I'm having this issue as well with "Search Docs" still showing up in the search box and in the breadcrumbs How can I fix this?

Alex, the changes you suggested here don't show up, I'm assuming because the code has morphed since then but the issue persists despite whatever fixes were implemented:

Thanks for the suggestion @Solari! I see the usefulness of being able to change the wording, so I just implemented a simple Plural and Singular text label to the settings page under WP admin > Docs > Settings. To get this new functionality on your site, download Docs Drop-in 1.1.1 and upload this new version to the MD > Drop-ins manager on your site.

 

[Solari]

WOOT! Thanks. Much better now -- only issue so far is "Docs" still shows up in the search bar on category pages. It doesn't on the home of Docs though, odd.

This will require a change to a core MD file, which has been on my todo list as there are a few enhancements I've been wanting to make to the searchform anyhow. I can confirm the following change will be in the next MD5.3.x patch, so it will be safe for you to edit. You can open /wp-content/themes/marketers-delight/searchform.php and replace line 13-14:

    elseif ( is_category() || is_tax() )
        $source = ucwords( get_post_type() );

With:

    elseif ( is_category() || is_tax() ) {
        $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type() );
        $source = $post_type->labels->name;
    }

This will pull the custom label you set in the Docs option as well. Thanks for working through this with me.

 

[Solari]

Yay, that did the trick!

There's just one niggle left:



...should say "resources". No rush, I can wait until you push out the official update. : )

Thanks again -- the support here has been outstanding so far and I'm excited to see where this goes.

Onwards and upwards,
Ray

Looks like a nice use of the Docs drop-in! I'm excited that you are one of the first people to use both MD and XFtoWP, and are in an early position to benefit as I continue to blend both of those worlds together throughout the year.
