Footer Template - Pre-Built not editable
Hi,
I have the problem, that everywhere are some limitations, making usage of Templates not possible.
I am struggeling with the following main limitations:
- most of the Pre-built templates are not designed to work with media queries. e.g. the template "Boxes with features". But I cannot do a media query to fill the content of the predefinied boxes. Even in case that I delete 5 of the 6 content boxes and do a media query on the one box, the result is one box with multiplied content in this one box below each other - not in separate boxes.
Is there a possibility to do a media query on such templates. e.g. to insert varibales like headline[1] or so?
That would enable me to do one media query and reference to each elements with manually.
- I cannot remove the "own" post out of media queries. This would be a nice feature to hide the currently viewed post in media queries on the same site.
- Within template designer after selecting a Pre-Built template I am not able to even add a headline.
e.g. "4 wraps with shadow and border radius", which works nicely as a media query, but does not allow me to add a headline before.
It would be realy helpful to get those things working in order to use your framework efficiently!
Maybe you can tell me some possible solutions or work arounds for my points?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
1) By pre-built templates, you mean pre-built sections, and by media query, the Query Loop, right?
Please see the following video tutorials about Query Loops:

I cannot remove the "own" post out of media queries.
Please attach a screenshot showing what you refer to.
3) If you want to put a heading before Query Loop, create a section above it that includes this heading.
Best regards

in case I have a Post within a category I want to add some section below the post, having links to other posts within the same category.
To avoid the section in every post, I have designed a template with a query loop of this category. That's fine.
I tried to use the order by Rand function to get some "see also" items in the footer of each post of this category, but I was missing the option to EXCLUDE the one post the user is viewing at that time. Something like "EXCLUDE own".
Hopefully I have explained it in order to get some suggestions how to achieve it.
Best Regards,
Michael

I am not able to create a Section before the pre-build element within the template editor:

I really like your pre-build items - e.g. the "Boxes with features".
But I cannot change it to get the boxes working with dynamic data out of a query loop.
Even I try to delete 5 boxes and do a loop for the first box with dynamic text+pic, the loop would not repeate the box, but only the content of the box within one box below.
Can you help me out to get your original layout with a limited query loop to 6 items?
1) The regular pre-built sections were not designed for Query Loops, but a regular pages. Did you watch video tutorials I have sent? They explain and show how Query Loops should be built and how they work.
2) Please send us the WordPress dashboard and FTP access privately through the contact form, which is on the right side at https://themeforest.net/user/muffingroup#contact and we will check what might be the reason.
Notice!
Please attach a link to this forum discussion.
Sending incorrect or incomplete data will result in a longer response time.
Therefore, please ensure that the data you send are complete and correct.
3) Is that a global section? If yes, put a regular section right before the global one in the page edition.
Best regards
3) the tempalte type is "Section". This might be the reason, that it pas not possible to get it right?
1) yes, I have watched your video, but it does not help for my case.
I have another idea to get some dynamic data within your pre-built items.
The idea is to use shortcodes. This works fine for text passages, but I cannot use my shortcode within your image block like:
It seems that my shortcode is not executed here.
I have seen, that you use some type of internal shortcodes like {features-image} ... Is there any way / hook to activate, that I can use my shortcode working in an Image block?
1) Shortcodes and dynamic data are not the same thing. While shortcodes are for displaying elements, dynamic data fetches information from post types like Posts, Portfolios, etc. Shortcodes can be displayed only through elements like Column Text or Plain Text with a shortcode parser enabled.
The image field is only for links and dynamic data, so you cannot use shortcodes there.
The {features-image} is a dynamic data that fetch information from selected post type, not a shortcode.
3) If you mean section template, then it is a global section. When you use this global section somewhere on your pages, put a regular section with desired text right before that global section on the page content.
Best regards
2) I received your private message, but you did not attach FTP access.
Please send another message with complete data.

Thanks
3) thank you for your screenshot. This is exact the thing I want. Is the screenshot taken from the template editor?
if you mean section template, then it is a global section. When you use this global section somewhere on your pages, put a regular section with desired text right before that global section on the page content.Within my template ist, there are entries with different "Types". My used Type was "Section".
My goal ist to insert the headline right within this template (as your screenshot shows it). But in my editor I do not get the green-circle-plus buttons!
1) am Im aware of the difference of shortcodes and your dynamic data!
Since your dynamic data logic, according to your reply, does not work with all the pre-build layouts, I was trying to find another way, using your layouts with kind of dynamic data out of shortcodes.
The Idea was to fetch some data within an shortcode and get headline, content, image by another self written shortcode.
Would you please tell me, whether your theme supports any kind of hooks to define user-defined dynamic data fields or similar in order to get my idea working?
Maybe you might have some shortcodes, inserting images, where I can you my shortcode as image-parameter?
2) I will send you the login data now
1) If you want to introduce some of your own dynamic data, you can use ACF for that. See the following video tutorial:
https://support.muffingroup.com/video-tutorials/advanced-custom-fields-in-action-with-bebuilder/
Note that you can use only simple fields that are not arrays.
2) Sorry, but FTP credentials you sent do not work:
Please resend them and ensure that they are correct.
3) These are global sections:
The screenshot I took was for the page where you used this global section. I added a regular section before global one.
Best regards
2) would you please mail me your source IP, so I can add it to my firewall rules, since the country filter is probably the problem.
Sorry, but I cannot share my IP.
Maybe you can whitelist a country? If so, please whitelist Poland.
Thanks
Please try again to connect!
It still does not work.
I will try to replicate it in my environment.
Best regards
OK, sorry!
It is not very complicated to rebuild the issue:
The issue is, that I dont want to include "itself" within the items of the query-loop, since a reference to the currently browesed post makes no send.
I want to use the media query items to something like "see other items within this category". There a link to itself makes no sense.
Thanks, I replicated it, and we will try to correct that in the upcoming update.
For now, as a workaround, you can use Blog element with the enabled option Use as related posts:
Best regards
Thank you for your time and the coming correction.
I will try to check the related posts feature.
Is there any possibility for hoocks included in your template? And if yes, is there a documentation about the hooks without tracing your codebase?
I am not sure what hooks you talk about, but you can find some in Betheme -> Theme options -> Global -> Hooks:
