In reply to: [Recencio Book Reviews] Shortcode or link to show reviews by star rating?Works great!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Recencio Book Reviews] Sortable gridI now have 222 reviews and already the sortable grid is performing poorly (page takes 4-5 secs to completely load and become responsive)
I note that there is a parameter ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, in the shortcode class rcno_render_isotope_grid function, however obviously right now, only the first page is ever displayed – and search or filter only targets what is on the first page.
Just flagging these points up in case they are useful for future development. There is so much potential in this plugin that I hope it can be extended a bit!
I have quite a few other feature suggestions and thoughts, not sure if it’s appropriate to put them all here though!

In reply to: [Recencio Book Reviews] 404 on taxonomy linksThanks, I will play around with that.

In reply to: [Recencio Book Reviews] 404 on taxonomy linksAbsolutely correct, resolved! Thank you!
Now of course I see another small issue: the taxonomy link goes to the standard wordpress template for categories. Ideally it would be possible to link it to a pre-filtered grid, so that the layout is the same as for the isotope grid view.

In reply to: [Recencio Book Reviews] Sortable gridAwesome, thank you!
By the way, I also spotted that one of my custom taxonomies doesn’t work as a filter. It seems that if the term is an integer value, the filter doesn’t find the correct content.
In my case I created a taxonomy “year”, which contains values such as 2015, 2017, 2018 (it’s the vintage of the wine). You can see the filter on this page: https://www.themorningclaret.com/wine-reviews/ – and even though there are reviews for each displayed value, they are not returned when using the filter.

In reply to: [Recencio Book Reviews] Book cover image size in gridI needed to do this, and I found it was quite easy with two small hacks to the shortcode php files:
1. In
../plugins/recensio-book-reviews/public/shortcodes/class_rcno_isotope_grid_shortcode.phpchange the value for “width” on line 83. (eg: I changed it to 200)2. In
../plugins/recensio-book-reviews/public/shortcodes/layouts/rcno-isotope-grid.phpchange the loaded image on line 87 from small to full, so this$out .= $this->template->get_the_rcno_book_cover( $book['ID'], 'rcno-book-cover-sm', true );becomes
$out .= $this->template->get_the_rcno_book_cover( $book['ID'], 'rcno-book-cover', true );Obviously these changes won’t survive an update of the plugin, and are just hacks, so hopefully in the future this could be a configurable option.

In reply to: [Recencio Book Reviews] Sortable gridI’m using this too, it works great but I miss a couple of quite essential options:
1. Some kind of pagination or (ideally) endless scrolling, as this is going to fall to pieces if there are 000’s of reviews
2. I am using a lot of custom taxonomies as I’m actually using this plugin for wine reviews (no dedicated plugins exist, but this works surprisingly well). I thought I could switch off some of the filters for these taxonomies but it seems I can’t. Disabling “Show filter” in settings only hides the filter in the admin, not for the sortable grid. A little problematic.

Thanks for the great work so far!
