Clear link does not seem to work

Hi Roger,

Thanks for letting me know. Somehow I missed that. Originally the clear links were only shown in the list of things the user signed up for on the main volunteer page. If you are viewing a specific sheet (sheet id is set in either shortcode or url argument), then that list of things the user signed up for was not shown, so I wasn’t checking if the clear link was used in those cases.

Can’t remember when I added clear links to the sheet details page, and I believe that was added by another contributor, so that must not have been tested on an individual sheet page (when id is set in shortcode).

I will need to fix my code to check for the clear link being clicked in a different place in the code so it works in that situation as well. Will put that into the next update.

At the point where the task list is displayed, the code doesn’t know if the sheet id came from a link from the main list or from a shortcode argument (set much earlier in the plugin functions).

But, since I have to release an update to fix the clear issue you discovered, I’ll take a look and see if I can add an option, based on if the sheet id is set in the shortcode, to show that link back to the main list or not.

Fix has been posted.

I am willing to check out the OPTIMIZER if it allows me to clear that message. I have 2 separate pages, each one with a shortcode that calls up their respective sign-up sheet.

Yes, the Customize plugin does that, as well as allowing you to modify or disable almost every other text string that shows to the public.

However, when a sign-up sheet page displays, it always shows the link to jump to the other sign-up sheet. I do not want that link since they are out of context in their respective situations. Even if you click on that link, it is a dead end since they system is not aware of the other link.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by this. Where is the link showing that jumps to the other sheet? Are you talking about when they click on something to sign-up, and it goes to the “main” volunteer page (the one you are supposed to set in the settings)? If that’s what you are talking about, UN-CHECK the option that says “Redirect Sign Ups to Main Page?”, and then all the sign-up links will stay on the same page instead of redirecting.

Also, in case you missed it, there is full documentation here:

Sorry, I guess I’m getting confused, or not understanding how you have it set up.

You said that you have two sheets that you are displaying on two different pages using the ID in the shortcode arguments, something like:
[pta_sign_up_sheet id="24" date="" group="" list_title="" show_time="yes"]
but, on THOSE pages, with an ID set in the shortcode, you are still seeing that View All link?
Because that’s not happening on any of my test sites. If the id is set in the shortcode, there is NOT a view all signup sheets link.

And, no, if $9 is too much to spend on the Customizer, you can add a very simple PHP function to your theme’s functions.php file to replace that text string with an empty text string. The Customizer just makes it super easy for those who don’t understand PHP functions like that, but it’s basically doing the same thing — tapping into filter hooks I put on all the public side output text so it can be easily modified to say whatever you want (or remove). Those super cheap extensions I sell only cover an extremely small amount of the time I spend on support for these FREE plugins, but nobody is forcing you to buy that or to use this plugin. If you want to request that I add a feature to have an option to remove that link from all sheets, please add it to the feature request section of my site, but that is a vital feature that we needed for our school, and many others are already using it without any complaints.
