trouble with the_content(); and Advanced Layout Editor

Hey sky19er,

Thank you for using Enfold.

The pages/posts created with the advance layout builder are going to use the “template-builder.php” file to render the content. You can’t use the default the_content or get_content function for those pages. You have to fetch the custom field named “aviaLayoutBuilderCleanData”, which holds the ALB shortcodes.

/**
* Filter the content for content builder elements
*/
$content = apply_filters( 'avia_builder_precompile', get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_aviaLayoutBuilderCleanData', true ) );

The content of the post meta is going to be automatically compiled as long as its wrap in the “avia_builder_precompile” filter.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Try to replace this part:

?>
<div>

<?php the_content(); ?></div>

<hr />

<?php

.. with:

$content = apply_filters( 'avia_builder_precompile', get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_aviaLayoutBuilderCleanData', true ) );
echo $content;

Hi,

We extended the core with filter avf_alb_exec_sc_only (config-templatebuilder\avia-template-builder\php\shortcode-template.class.php line 442).

Returning true (boolean) allows to process shortcode also in backend (and on ajax calls) – same as modal preview does. But include checks otherwise you will break stylings in frontend output.

See private content.

This allows to use the normal WP content filter without the workaround mentioned by Ismael.

Hi,

Sorry for not being clear.

You can download the zip file mentioned above in private content an update your theme with FTP.

Check https://github.com/KriesiMedia/enfold-library/blob/master/actions%20and%20filters/ALB%20Elements/General%20filters/avf_alb_exec_sc_only.php.

Adding that code to functions.php of the child theme (or parent theme) allows ALB shortcodes to be executed on ajax calls.

I think this should help to fix the problem. No need to hack the_content.

Günter

Hi,

@sky19er

This is the code to insert in functions.php:

https://github.com/KriesiMedia/enfold-library/blob/master/actions%20and%20filters/ALB%20Elements/General%20filters/avf_alb_exec_sc_only.php

But check the cangelog – could be that I will add a theme option for that.

@beppemodena

Please open it in https://kriesi.at/support/forum/enfold/ at the bottom.

Seems there is something wrong with your MAMP install (/Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/feed/fetchFeed.php on line 19).
And also make sure to increase WP Memory limit https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/ and also add:

define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

Hi,

@sky19er

Did you download the beta-3 version from https://kriesi.at/support/topic/trouble-with-the_content-and-advanced-layout-editor/#post-1119651 ?

The filter is not in the 4.5.7 version.

– Download the zip
– unzip on your local machine
– upload with ftp to your server

Hi,

@sky19er

Sorry, see private content for new link.

As Kriesi is on holiday I do not know when he will publish the next release.

Hi,

Try to install an extractor software like the following.

// https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rar-extractor-free/id646295438?mt=12

It should prompt you to input the password before the extraction.

Hi,

Could you give me a WP admin account and FTP access to your staging site please?

I would need to add some debugging code and make some changes to see what is going on behind the sceen.

I’m this week on holiday – so it will be next week I can have a look into it.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

Where can we see the file modifications? Can we access it? We would like to check how the plugin renders the list.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

We set the “exec_sc_only” filter to always return true, which seems to help. However, I’m not sure if this is going to affect anything else. Just to make sure try to add a conditional function to the filter so that it is only executed on the page with the search filter.

Best regards,

Hi,

I’m not sure how to implement the conditional function you referred to, but it doesn’t seem like that would solve this issue, right?

Actually, it would. In the functions.php file, inside the “exec_sc_only” filter, look for this line.

return true;

Wrap it inside conditional functions like so.

if(!is_admin() && is_page(24)) {
    return true;
} 

That should prevent the filter from executing the shortcodes on the admin page. Replace 24 with the actual ID of the page where you have the search filter. You can also use an array of IDs as value in case you want to enable it on more than one page.

if(!is_admin() && is_page(array(24, 45, 75))) {
    return true;
} 

Best regards,
Ismael
