Hi guys,

in the posts list created either by a shortcode or from the categories would we be able to:

1. Remove the link from the categories appearing. So have the category but make it non-clickable

2. Create an icon for the standard category similar to the icons you have for posts links and videos. Additionally we would like to change the icon that is chosen for links. 

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys thank you for getting back to me.

The first questions refers to the following:

Right ideally I would want this to apply both to your boxes.php and also across every standard, link, videos php that exist under \framework\modules\blog\templates\lists\post-formats

I know the code that pulls in the categories is the one below, and I have been able to move it around in order to make it appear differently within the box as you can see at http://transvault.flywheelsites.com/resources/ & http://transvault.flywheelsites.com/category/white-papers/

<div class="eltd-post-info-section">
<?php kreate_elated_post_info(array('category' => 'yes', 'date' => 'no', 'comments' => 'no', 'share' => 'yes', 'like' => 'no'));  ?>
</div>

So ideally I would like to still bring in the category but not have it href (linked) but keep the styling.

The second one, as you can see on the pages I linked above, and I know the related phps are the same as mentioned above; is that basically I would like to use icons for all post types including standard. So I managed to use it category pages such as http://transvault.flywheelsites.com/category/white-papers/ or even on for link types here http://transvault.flywheelsites.com/category/faqs/ but when the blog list shortcode calls the boxes.php I am unable to do so because the code changes and I am not sure where to make the changes in the below section:

<div class="eltd-post-mark eltd-post-<?php echo kreate_elated_get_post_format_class();?>">

<span class="<?php echo kreate_elated_get_post_format_icon_class();?>"></span>
</div>

Additionally, I would like to do something similar to the related articles but can't seem to get past the coding in eltd-related-posts.php of where I can edit the structure.

Can I ask you where can I find social media widget from your homepage (left side)?

Hi Elated themes,

Thank you for solving my first issue. 

For the second one, since I have been able to fix it for the regular categories pages popping the way I would like them, could you just possibly quite me to which files I should look at to make the changes. That way maybe I could figure it out. 

If not, I can see if I could hire someone to do it for us. 

@Krystian those social media icons were a paid plugin from Themeforest called Easy social Share buttons. It is pretty good and flexible but depending on your needs there are free options out there. Check filament who I believe just went free

Hi guys,

Thank you guys.

I will have a look and let you know.

You are brilliant and once again thank you. 

Hi actually I still haven't managed to fix the one below even though I tried 2 different ways. 

But there is something else you could possibly help me with.

I was wondering whether in specific video posts I could disable the video player from showing (because I want to show the icon that it is a video but want to have it a contact form instead of the video.

Hi yes that is exactly what I would need.

I remember we did similar for the title not showing the multiple dots.

See this post as an example: http://transvault.flywheelsites.com/webinars/webinar-leverage-microsoft-azure-office-365-migration/

OK this has worked. Thank you.

Sorry for going back to the old subject but I have changed the following but nothing seems to change: 

if( !function_exists('kreate_elated_get_post_format_icon_class') ) {

/**
* Function which return icon class for post formats
* @param $type
* @return icon class
*/

function kreate_elated_get_post_format_icon_class($type = "") {
$icon_class = '';

$post_format = get_post_format();

$supported_post_formats = array('audio', 'video', 'link', 'quote', 'gallery');
if(in_array($post_format,$supported_post_formats)) {
$post_format = $post_format;
} else {
$post_format = 'standard';
}
switch ($post_format) {
case 'audio':
$icon_class = 'icon-music-record';
break;
case 'video':
$icon_class = 'icon-music-play-button';
break;
case 'link':
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-message-txt';
break;
case 'quote':
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-lightbulb';
break;
default:
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-bookmark';
break;
}

return $icon_class;

}

}

I also tried to change it up a bit but still didn't work:

if( !function_exists('kreate_elated_get_post_format_icon_class') ) {

/**
* Function which return icon class for post formats
* @param $type
* @return icon class
*/

function kreate_elated_get_post_format_icon_class($type = "") {
$icon_class = '';

$post_format = get_post_format();

$supported_post_formats = array('standard', 'audio', 'video', 'link', 'quote', 'gallery');
if(in_array($post_format,$supported_post_formats)) {
$post_format = $post_format;
}
switch ($post_format) {
case 'standard':
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-bookmark';
break;
case 'audio':
$icon_class = 'icon-music-record';

break;
case 'video':
$icon_class = 'icon-music-play-button';
break;
case 'link':
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-message-txt';
break;
case 'quote':
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-lightbulb';
break;
default:
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-bookmark';
break;
}

return $icon_class;

}

}

Not sure if you can advise me further but what makes me curious is also the fact that neither the link change of icon hasn't changed either

Hmm strange one, you are right there must be a mistake but I cannot spot where. 

Oh well, no worries guys, I appreciate all your help and thank you ever so much. you have been great. 

Hi,

Just wanted to give a little update on the matter of changing those icons, because something strange is happening, which I am not sure why and I am hoping you can help.

So it turns out the change of code works, however instead of updating the file inside the child theme like I have done for all the other edits I did on php level, the blog-functions.php file needed updating in the original folder to make it work. 

Is there a specific reason as to why that is if you know?

The only changes I have made were the following in the php and the section you advised me:

function kreate_elated_get_post_format_icon_class($type = "") {
$icon_class = '';

$post_format = get_post_format();

$supported_post_formats = array('audio', 'video', 'link', 'quote', 'gallery');
if(in_array($post_format,$supported_post_formats)) {
$post_format = $post_format;
} else {
$post_format = 'standard';
}
switch ($post_format) {
case 'audio':
$icon_class = 'icon-music-record';
break;
case 'video':
$icon_class = 'icon-music-play-button';
break;
case 'link':
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-message-txt';
break;
case 'quote':
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-lightbulb';
break;
default:
$icon_class = 'icon-basic-sheet-txt';
break;
}

return $icon_class;

}

}

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,

Not a problem, not a late response . Understandable with a weekend in the way as well.

That makes sense. I thought I was doing something wrong.

That is fine as far as I know I have to update it every time then that is fine.

Regards
