PetPress will be getting an upgrade on or around February 17, 2022. Here’s what’s changing…
Enhancements
New field: Site
Added specifically for the benefit of multi-site organizations, enabling the “Site” field will cause the location (site) of an animal to show on the list page as well as the detail page. Single-site organizations are welcome to use this field, but because there is likely no confusion about where your animals are, it is probably not useful to explicitly show the site for each animal.
New field: Price
The price field will display in the “additional information” section of the detail pages if this field is turned on.
New shortcode parameter: heading
You can set your own list headings using the shortcode parameter “heading” (to replace the auto-generated “Dogs at Rescues-R-Us” a the top of list pages). This is useful in multi-site organizations where PetPress may not select the correct location to show in the heading, or any time you would like to substitute your own heading for the auto-generated one.
Changes to CSS for better layout of list pages
The CSS for version 1.1 and earlier used some fixed values which did not fully utilize the screen width. The new CSS for list pages adjusts the size of the tiles for a better fit.
Fixes
Fix for “double-dogs” — Themify
An issue was discovered for websites using the Themify Builder that resulted in the lists of animals sometimes showing each animal twice. It is unknown if the problem extended beyond the Themify Builder, but hopefully the fix for that conflict is the end of the story.
Fix for overly-long animal names
Animal names longer than 14 characters will show 12 characters plus an ellipsis (“…”) so that the list page layout is not disrupted. The full name will be displayed on the detail page, as there is no space constraint there.
About the Upgrade
Because there is a change to the caching database structure in this upgrade, it is recommended that after the plugin upgrade you “deactivate” and then “activate” the plugin. This action will not clear your configuration information, but it will drop the caching data tables and allow new ones to be built.
