Hi There,
What is the short code of DW-QA Popular Questions and Related Questions.
I want to display recent questions and answer somewhere in my home page. Can you please help/suggest..??
Regards,
Harsh
Hi Harsh !
Currently, we do not have the short code for these yet. Will try to make in later updated versions.
Hi Dominic,
At this point of time it will be helpful if you just tell me what are the functions or the codes that is being used for Popular Questions and Related Question Widget. I just fell to dig into and try to get my job done.
I think widget.php is being called.. 🙂
Hi Dominic, I tried below to create a short code, change in code can be seen in bold letters.I went to dw-question and answer/inc/widget.php and edited the code as below and latter i put [dwqa_shortcode] in my page/post to call this. I Think I am missing something. Can You please work a bit to get it done. referance: http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
class dwqa_Related_Question_Widget extends WP_Widget { /**
* Constructor
*
* @return void
**/
//[dwqa_shortcode]
function dwqa_Related_Question_Widget() {
$widget_ops = array( ‘classname’ => ‘dwqa-related-question’, ‘description’ => __(‘Show a list of questions that related to a question. Just show in single question page’,’dwqa’) );
$this->WP_Widget( ‘dwqa-related-question’, __(‘DWQA Related Questions’,’dwqa’), $widget_ops );
} function widget( $args, $instance ) {
extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );
$instance = wp_parse_args( $instance, array(
‘title’ => ”,
‘number’ => 5
) );
$post_type = get_post_type();
if( is_single() && ( $post_type == ‘dwqa-question’ || $post_type == ‘dwqa-answer’ ) ) { echo $before_widget;
echo $before_title;
echo $instance[‘title’];
echo $after_title;
echo ‘<div class=”related-questions”>’;
dwqa_related_question( false, $instance[‘number’] );
echo ‘</div>’;
echo $after_widget;
}
} function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) { // update logic goes here
$updated_instance = $new_instance;
return $updated_instance;
} function form( $instance ) {
$instance = wp_parse_args( $instance, array(
‘title’ => ”,
‘number’ => 5
) );
?>
<p><label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id(‘title’) ?>”><?php _e(‘Widget title’) ?></label>
<input type=”text” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name(‘title’) ?>” id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id(‘title’) ?>” value=”<?php echo $instance[‘title’] ?>” class=”widefat”>
</p>
<p><label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id(‘number’) ?>”><?php _e(‘Number of posts’) ?></label>
<input type=”text” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name(‘number’) ?>” id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id(‘number’) ?>” value=”<?php echo $instance[‘number’] ?>” class=”widefat”>

<?php
}
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, create_function( ”, “register_widget( ‘dwqa_Related_Question_Widget’ );” ) );
add_shortcode(‘dwqa_shortcode’,’dwqa_Related_Question_Widget’);
Hi Harsh,
Your code above is a widget class, and I dont think it will work for shortcode. I added here the shortcode for popular questions features:
function dwqa_shortcode_popular_questions( $atts ){ extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'number' => 5, 'title' => __('Popular Questions','dwqa') ), $atts ) ); $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => $number, 'order' => 'DESC', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'meta_key' => '_dwqa_views', 'post_type' => 'dwqa-question', 'suppress_filters' => false ); $questions = new WP_Query( $args ); $html = ''; if( $title ) { $html .= '<h3>'; $html .= $title; $html .= '</h3>'; } if( $questions->have_posts() ) { $html .= '<div class="dwqa-popular-questions">'; $html .= '<ul>'; while ( $questions->have_posts() ) { $questions->the_post(); $html .= '<li><a href="'.get_permalink( get_the_ID() ).'" title="'.__('Link to','dwqa').' '.get_the_title().'">'.get_the_title().'</a></li>'; } $html .= '</ul>'; $html .= '</div>'; } wp_reset_query(); wp_reset_postdata(); return $html; } add_shortcode( 'dwqa-popular-questions', 'dwqa_shortcode_popular_questions' );
Please put it in “<plugins-folder>/dw-question-answer/inc/shortcodes.php” ( you can refer to this link for more info https://github.com/designwall/DW-Question-Answer/blob/58f84e70af444fdd3db56361dc9147ed295eab13/inc/shortcodes.php ) .
How to use this shortcode ?
[dwqa-popular-questions number="5" title="Popular Questions" ]
with number: The number of questions that will be displayed
title: Title displayed before list questions

http://harsh031.0fees.net/ Please see recent answer field in my website.(here I am getting link for the answer) Code used is as below here i have removed the meta_key value in $args array:
function dwqa_shortcode_recent_answers( $atts ){ extract( shortcode_atts( array(
‘number’ => 5,
‘title’ => __(”,’dwqa’)
), $atts ) ); $args = array(
‘posts_per_page’ => $number,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
‘post_type’ => ‘dwqa-answer’,
‘suppress_filters’ => false
);
$answers = new WP_Query( $args );
$html = ”; if( $title ) {
$html .= ‘<h3>’;
$html .= $title;
$html .= ‘</h3>’;
}
if( $answers->have_posts() ) {
$html .= ‘<div class=”dwqa-recent-answers”>’;
$html .= ‘<ul>’;
while ( $answers->have_posts() ) { $answers->the_post();
$html .= ‘<li><a href=”‘.get_permalink( get_the_ID() ).'” title=”‘.__(‘Link to’,’dwqa’).’ ‘.get_the_title().'”>’.get_the_title().'</a></li>’;
}
$html .= ‘</ul>’;
$html .= ‘</div>’;
}
wp_reset_query();
wp_reset_postdata();
return $html;
}
add_shortcode( ‘dwqa-recent-answers’, ‘dwqa_shortcode_recent_answers’ ); and called it in same way we have done for popular question.
[dwqa-recent-answer number=”5″ ] Please help/suggest.
Hi Harsh,
Hope this helps:
function dwqa_shortcode_latest_answers( $atts ){ extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'number' => 5, 'title' => __('Latest Answers','dwqa') ), $atts ) ); $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => $number, 'post_type' => 'dwqa-answer', 'suppress_filters' => false ); $questions = new WP_Query( $args ); $html = ''; if( $title ) { $html .= '<h3>'; $html .= $title; $html .= '</h3>'; } if( $questions->have_posts() ) { $html .= '<div class="dwqa-latest-answers">'; $html .= '<ul>'; while ( $questions->have_posts() ) { $questions->the_post(); $answer_id = get_the_ID(); $question_id = get_post_meta( $answer_id, '_question', true ); if( $question_id ) { $html .= '<li>'.__('Answer at','dwqa').' <a href="'.get_permalink( $question_id ).'#answer-'.$answer_id.'" title="'.__('Link to','dwqa').' '.get_the_title( $question_id ).'">'.get_the_title( $question_id ).'</a></li>'; } } $html .= '</ul>'; $html .= '</div>'; } wp_reset_query(); wp_reset_postdata(); return $html; } add_shortcode( 'dwqa-latest-answers', 'dwqa_shortcode_latest_answers' );
