• Hi, great job on the plugin.

    I’d like to know whether it’s feasible to create my own templates? I know i can edit the files in the tpl folder within the plugin but it would be really useful if I can create new templates rather than modify existing.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Planned, but not for the next bigger update. Maybe there is already enough to create a separate CSS file? Templates/Design is highly customizable via CSS.

    Hi Marcelismus, thanks for the speedy response.

    Customising the appearance of the embedded app information isn’t quite what I want to do, i’m more after a way to choose what information is generated.

    At the moment i’m using a combination of the advanced custom fields plugin (http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/) and a hardcoded version of your shortcode in the single.php file. There are going to be many users inputting apps into my site so i want to keep the format of the posts as uniform as possible. This method lets me decide where the app information appears on every post.

    Within the category / taxonomy pages where i list all of the apps i’d like to grab just the logo, title and price of the app. I can do this using the same method as above while declaring the tpl in the hardcoded short code e.g.

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[appbox appstore '. get_sub_field('ipad_ios_appstore_id') .' simple]');?>

    I realise i can edit the simple.php file in the plugin’s folder but for futureproofing it would be great if there was a way to create my own.

    I know it’s a bit of a long shot but the ability to do this would be really useful 🙂
