Peter,
Thank you so much for the code. It worked great. I edited the main file in the /enfold theme and not my child theme.
Can you put the masonry_entries.php page in the child theme and the site will still work? This will help with updating. I reckon I could just try it and see, but I seem to recall that I tried this with another core php file and it didn’t work. Only headers, footers, function.php seem to be recognized. I am not a newbie coder, but I am pretty new to WordPress. Picking it up pretty quickly though.

On another note, you folks should really look at the lightbox script I’m using. I’ve used it for years and know the developer pretty well. It’s far superior to the lightbox you folks are using. There are over a hundred option settings built inside and the API has built in functions that help with many things like ajax refreshes and hosting up dynamic stuff inside pages. The support is fantastic and detailed. The only other site online that I’ve seen that has similar support is yours. FYI, I have no vested interest in the script.

For example, with your code, I’m now yanking the captions from the alt attribute in masonry, while serving up the title attribute with the mouseover option. So I can have a short caption on the thumb with a more detailed description in the lightbox window. A distinct advantage for using the alt attribute is that you don’t have the title displaying on mouseover which duplicates the mouseover effect built into masonry. It also avoids the title mouseovers built into most browsers and allows you to use javascript tooltips if you want. And, of course your alt descriptions can be very detailed which will help SEO.

I will probably look into your backend code some more in avia.js and in some of the php files to open up more flexibility by coding in a custom data- attribute that works with the lightbox script I use. By doing so, it will allow the insertion of all sorts of lightbox display options in the headers, footers and outside the lightbox as well — HTML, videos, dynamic content, you name it. If you can code it, it can be fed to the lightbox through the data- attribute that is specific to this script. I sure wished you had a customizable data- attribute built into the backend of the wordpress manager for < a > links. I will probably have to code it myself. I can probably do it, I just don’t know where to look for all the relevant code in all your php files. It could be a lengthy trial and error process. I chatted with the developer of your third party slider that you use and he likes the idea of a configurable data- attribute by the customer. He indicated he was going to look at it in a future version release. There are numerous benefits to having this if you are a true coder.

Anyway, these were some of the reasons I was asking for the alt attribute. You probably assumed most of the reason was for SEO.

On a separate note, where would I find the code that renders the alt and title form fields on the backend of WordPress where you update and modify a masonry element? What file is that in? I have found the code that inserts the lightbox attributes inside of avia.js.

Thanks again for your help. Your support in this forum is excellent. And I don’t say that lightly. I mean it.

Cheers,
Don

Thanks for the input Ismael.

I tried Contact form 7 which is really great plugin, but it has not the “conditional logic” feature, which I need.

If you manage to put this feature in the Enfold theme future update (contact form shortcode), would be brilliant. Cos in this case we wont need to install additional plugins to create forms and bother with avoiding customizations on CSS due to conflicts.

For the time being I will try what you suggest.

Thanks again!

I just figured out, that with the types plugin it works automaticly, while it doesn’t with some other plugins i have tested.

http://wordpress.org/plugins/types/

Just for making clear my final purpose: What I really want is being able to search through multiple portfolio categories, tags and custom fields in my portfolio and present then in a portfolio grid.

I have seen various taxonomy plugins but they speak about posts..

Which is the best way to achieve it?

Hi Ismael

Sorry for the slow response.
Seems like there is a clash with CMB Metabox framework https://github.com/jaredatch/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress
Whenever that is enabled, the ‘add media’ function seems to bug out.
Looks like a JS error, so probably a clash of JQuery or something.
I will investigate further and update this if i find a solution.

thanks

Hi

Futher to this i have manged to get some output from Safari error logs (Firefox/Firebug crash out).

After insert into post is pressed, the following is returned:
avia_media.js:141RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded.

It would seem that there is a clash with AVIA and the cmb_metabox framework on
https://github.com/jaredatch/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress

as if i disable the function to init the framework, the WP functionality then works to insert a post.

Part of the init.php function is to call the following

function cmb_scripts( $hook ) {
if ( $hook == ‘post.php’ OR $hook == ‘post-new.php’ OR $hook == ‘page-new.php’ OR $hook == ‘page.php’ ) {
wp_register_script( ‘cmb-scripts’, CMB_META_BOX_URL.’jquery.cmbScripts.js’, array( ‘jquery’,’media-upload’,’thickbox’ ) );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery-ui-core’ ); // Make sure and use elements form the 1.7.3 UI – not 1.8.9
wp_enqueue_script( ‘media-upload’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘thickbox’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘cmb-scripts’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘thickbox’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘jquery-custom-ui’ );
add_action( ‘admin_head’, ‘cmb_styles_inline’ );
}
}

Could this be the source of the conflict do you think?

Many thanks for any guidance.

Phil.

No problem,

My theme setup is as follows:

WordPress v 3.6.1

Latest version of enfold theme installed
keane-ncs child theme folder that contains the following:

functions.php (contains nothing at the moment)
screenshot.png
style.css

I haven’t modified any of the enfold theme files directly – the only things I have customized are the CSS styles in the style.css file.

Here is a list of my installed plugins: (all are up-to-date with latest version.)

Advanced Custom Fields
Akismet
Captain Typekit (ACTIVE)
CMS Page Order
Custom Permalinks
Custom Post Type UI
Exclude Pages from Navigation
Gravity Forms
WordPress SEO

As you can see I really haven’t done much work on the theme at all – but I know that it is something strange involving the child theme as stated above in a previous reply. I also tried to deactivate all my plugins and also get rid of everything in the child theme except the style.css file but nothing seemed to work…

Thanks,

– Derek
