Does this work with custom post types?
I would like to use this with themes that use custom post types including Classipress (http://www.appthemes.com/themes/classipress/).
It works off-the-shelf for most of the custom post types (Marketpress, Events+, almost all WPMU Dev plugin generated custom post types), but some other custom post types have their own templates which take the content directly from the database (e.g. WP e-commerce). For such custom post types you may need to edit your template as explained in "Customization Instructions" of the plugin.
Some custom post types use templates which take the post content directly from the database. For such applications you may need to use wpmudev_pwal function to manage the content.
If you have any problem during application please feel free to ask again.
I would like to use the plug-in to offer featured listings in exchange for a like. I want to offer regular listings for free. Will it do that?
So if your listing will be pasted inside the content of a post or page or custom post, it will work. You can select which part of the content to be protected. So you can leave your regular content outside the protected area.
I didn't have a chance to thank you for your assistance in the announcement thread. Thank you.
Although this plugin does work in the custom post type's main content, I was unable to get it to work in a template.
In a theme with front end posting, customers can post for free and optionally pay for their post to be featured (can also be free). This is all built in to the theme. We are looking for the ability to hide the featured option in the post creation form until the customer has "liked" us. This should be possible via template tags.
Should I also file a feature request? Or will this suffice?
That's what I would like to do. This is a great idea for a plugin. I just don't have any content to hide and I would like to trade featured listings in exchange for a like.
This will work provided that you select "selection tool" as the method (Selection tool is in fact an imitation of shortcode).
Unfortunately, it just echos the shot code itself. I even tried <?php echo do_shortcode('[pwal id=0 description=&quot;Like us and get blah for free&quot;]'); ?> with the same result (see attached).
We're close, but from what I've read on .org, this is likely because the plugin is not designed to work outside of the loop.
Inside the template you should use wpmudev_pwal php function. Do_shortcode will not work. Please see my first message above.
Inside the post content, you should use the Selection Tool button to generate the shortcode-like wrapper to prevent any mistakes. For example id requires quotation marks as in id="0".
