Permalink styles for articles

Awesome project here, very useful.

One nitpick is that I cannot change the permalink style for the articles. It would be great to be able to do this.

I'm not requesting the developers of any work to do this, I'm probably going to do it myself, just posting an issue for it because I'll probably submit a fix for it.

Issue-to-PDF plugin not stripping out shortcodes

Apologies if this isn't the proper channel for this help request, IssueM support has been silent on my request for guidance.

Problem: While IssueM plays nice with my theme's Avia Layout Builder, the Issue-to-PDF plugin leaves the formatting shortcodes in the top of the articles.

Click the link below and then click "Download as PDF" to see what I mean (then scroll down till you're at the start of the first article).

I know about the filter I need to put in the functions.php, but I don't know how to write the code that strips the shortcode, nor where to put it. Once I see how it goes, I'll be able to build on it.

As a journeyman WordPress guy, I'm humbly asking for help.

/switches hats - off goes WordPress dev cap, on straps software PM helmet

The other thought I had is "who would EVER want shortcode to appear in their PDF?" Is there a way you could bake this functionality directly into the Issue-to-PDF plugin so as to avoid ever hearing from n00bs like me?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dollar signs are deleted in article shortcode

The templating system that generates issuem articles via the [issuem_articles] shortcode uses preg_replace to substitute content for the variables entered in the admin screens (e.g., %EXCERPT%) but it doesn't quote the content first.

So, if an article has a dollar figure, like $5.00, or $1.2 trillion, the dollar signs are treated like regex substitutions and the shortcode output ends up being ".00" and ".2 trillion".

Pull request to come. Thanks!

Where is the Issue articles listing pagination limit?

Where is the setting for the pagination limit for the number of articles that are displayed in an issues article listing before it gets split into multiple pages?

As an example, the issue this page on my website contains 13 articles. The first 10 are listed, but the user must click the Older posts link to see the other 3 articles. I'd like to be able to adjust that limit=10 variable that seems to exist somewhere but can't find it in the settings or IssueM plugin code.

Thanks for any help!

Feature request: Option for Article Categories to display only the categories which have articles in the current issue

I am running an online magazine which hosts articles from various authors. Some of them come and go, and may not always submit articles on some issues. I would like to be able to hide their columns (article categories) when the visitor has selected to view such an issue.

Gutenberg support for Issues taxonomy

Hi,

There is no option to select particular Issue and Article category when creating/editing an article in Gutenberg editor. Screenshot attached.

Thanks

Order Issues Based Off Issue Order On Article Edit Page

When editing an article, the taxonomy of issues are ordered alphabetically. A suggestion has been made to have those taxonomies ordered based off issue order instead. This would insure that the newest issue was easy to select when creating new articles, instead of having to scroll through all the issues to find the new one.

RSS feed only uses the date for ordering

The RSS feed only uses the date for ordering. Normal practice this is fine, but IssueM allows the user to set an Order manually ( menu_order )
therefore I’d recommend changing the RSS Feed output to respect an override if Order is set:

eg in feed-rss2.php
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’,

php compatibility

I have a client website on Siteground that has a PHP version/compatibility issue...

wp-content/plugins/issuem/issuem-shortcodes.php

Multisite Permissions Issue

It's been reported that if Issuem is not activated on the main blog of a multisite then the subsites that use IssueM will report 'Not authorized' style of message

Non-featured posts not loading correctly

From a wonderful contributor:

I'm using IssueM 2.7.4 and experiencing a problem when certain issues are saved; the system isn't properly registering when a post is or isn't a featured thumbnail or a featured rotator item when displaying using the shortcode.

The problem is in how the system finds non-featured posts; line 54 of issuem-shortcodes.php checks to see if the meta fields _featured_rotator or _featured_thumb exist in a post. This worked until recently, when a coding change in lines 187 and 192 of issuem-post-type.php sets those meta fields to the word "off" if they're not set.

So, the meta field contains the word "off", but the check is to see if the field exists at all, which will always return true.

My fix was to change line 54 of issuem-shortcodes.php to read:

$args['meta_query'] = array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => '_featured_rotator',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => 'on'
),
array(
'key' => '_featured_thumb',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => 'on'
)
);

alt text on issue cover

Is there a way to assign alternative text to the magazine issue cover photo within the Active Issue widget? This poses accessibility problems when we have images without alternative text.

Translation for Issuem Advanced Issue Search

User is looking to translate parts of IssueM Advanced Issue Search and would like text added to POT/PO file so they can translate to Spanish. Here's the request:

"Advanced Search":
Búsqueda avanzada

"Your IssueM Articles."
Tus artículos de IssueM.

"Keyword or Phrase:"
Palabra clave o frase:


"Search"
Buscar

"Buscar" (This one is already in Spanish, I don't know exactly why the webmaster has included it, it may just be a mistake)


"Issue:"
Número:

"Use the Control or Command/Apple key to select multiple issues"
Usa la tecla Control o Command/Apple para seleccionar varios números 


"Search All"
Buscar en todos

"Category:"
Categoría

"Use the Control or Command/Apple key to select multiple categories"
Usa la tecla Control o Command/Apple para seleccionar varias categorías

"No results were found for your request."

Shortcode attributes

Currently, the default ordering for articles in the current IssueM issue is descending, which seems counter-intuitive to me -- wouldn't it make more sense from a user's perspective for a magazine-style page to have the articles appear in ascending order? (This would just involve a trivial change in the default from 'DESC' to 'ASC' in issuem-shortcodes.php on line 32.)

This might not be a worthwhile change because it could screw up existing configurations, but the real reason this cause me problems is that the IssueM dashboard help page doesn't make it clear that passing arguments to the issuem_articles shortcode is possible, implying instead that only the issuem_archives shortcode accepts arguments. In this case, passing "order='ASC'" solves the problem. Wouldn't it make sense to document the possibility of passing some of these arguments to the other shortcodes?

PHP 7 Incompatabilities

IssueM shortcodes are using split() PHP function which has been removed in PHP 7.

Make IssueM Byline Translatable

The %BYLINE% string replacement on 'issuem-functions.php' is not translatable on the 'By' part. There is a filter that can be used to change it, but not in coordination with a translation file.

Use_category_order not working as expected

use_category_order on [issuem_articles] shortcode will only return one article of specified category. If you leave flank or set to 'Featured', it will return all articles. If you only choose a specific category order, it only returns the 1 article.

Unable To Assign Articles To Issues in Block Editor

Block editor view doesn't seem to allow articles to be associated with an Issue. You have to use the 'Quick Edit' section to assign the Issue.

Issue Order Table on Backend Doesn't Order Correctly

If you try to order the Issue table on the Wordpress backend, it doesn't sort from greatest number to lowest. It seems to filter based off alphabetical name of the issues.

Feature request: Set sidebar for issue detail pages

I'm currently building a site with a lot of different sidebars: one for the homepage, one for the shop, a couple for certain areas, and of course there is a specific sidebar made for the Magazines & issues.

Now, currently there does not seem to be a way to choose which sidebar should be shown on an issue detail page, it just defaults to the default sidebar. It would be great if this was available as an option through the settings.

A possible work around would be to use the main sidebar to hold the widget issues. But this would not be a good solution.

Article Categories widget removes the default WordPress Category widget

Hi,

It appears to me that IssueM's Article Category widget removes WordPress's default category widget. Moreover, all the IsssueM widget names are prefixed with "IssueM" but not the Article Categories.

Thanks

Added Issuem Title short argument and Added Issuem Description

Article is not added to the main rss feed

I tried adding the article to the main wordpress feed using these below codes in function.php, but that didn't work.

// Add articles to main RSS feed.
function add_articles_to_main_feed( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_feed() && !isset( $query->query['post_type'] ) )
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'article' ) );
return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_articles_to_main_feed' );

Archives Shortcode, Limit, and Pagination Links

If you place the limit to be a higher number than that of the actual archives count, it'll create a previous and next link that go nowhere.
