First, login into your WordPress admin dashboard.
Next, go to Plugins
> Add New
. Then, select the zipped plugin file (layers-heroes-assemble.zip
) and press install now.
Once you’ve successfully installed the plugin into your WP site, proceed to activate the plugin.
To add a new hero, simply go to Heroes
> Add New
.
1. Give your hero a name.
2. Add contents to the hero.
Everything entered here will show in the modal:
3. Insert the hero’s excerpt
Excerpt entered here will show in the frontend:
( If no excerpt entered, the plugin will retrieve excerpt from the content section )
4. Add or assign a team to the hero
5. Add a picture to hero.
For optimal results, I would suggest you to resize all the pictures into one same size (recommended size: 500 x 500 pixel). That way the grid will show up evenly on the frontend.
6. enter the personal information about the hero.
7. enter the social media profile details.
8. Add skills to the hero.
9. (optional) Add external link.
When set, this overrides the modal trigger behavior with a link to the URL entered.
Once you’re done, click Publish
to save changes.
In order to display all the heroes you’ve created, you’ll need to insert “Heroes Assemble” shortcode into your website.
To generate “Heroes Assemble” shortcode, simply login to your WordPress admin dashboard, and then go to Heroes
> Shortcode Generator
.
To add a shortcode, simply click the Add New Shortcode
button.
Next, insert a name, and then hit Create
button.
Once a new shortcode has been created, hit the Edit
button to start edit your shortcode settings.
The Edit Shortcode
page is splitted to five sections: General
, Query
, Display Settings
, Team Filtering Settings
, Modal Settings
.
General Section
In this section, you can change the name of the shortcode (This is for your reference only so you can name it whatever you want), as well as retrieving the Heroes Assemble
shortcode – which you can insert into any posts, pages, or any other place that support shortcode.
Query Section
Here you can configure your heroes query to fit your needs. This includes limit the query to certain team(s), setup the sorting direction, how many heroes to show (per page), as well as whether or not to use pagination.
What is Sort By – Attribute?
If you look at each hero edit page, you would notice there is a widget called “Post Attribute” on the right side.
You can insert any number into the Order
field. Then, select Attribute
as your Sort By option in your shortcode, and the system will sort your heroes query according to the number you inserted into the Order
field.
Display Settings Section
Here you can customize the looks and feel of each heroes.
Team Filtering Settings Section
Here you can customize the looks and feel of the team filtering menu.
What is Order By – Custom Position?
By default, the menu will be sorted according to its name. However, you can customize the menu order by utilizing the Custom Position
option.
To do that, you’ll need to go to Heroes
> Teams
.
Then, select one of the teams by clicking the Edit
link.
Next, insert a number into the Position
field, and click Update
to save changes.
( Please note that you must do this to all teams before you can use the Custom Position order option )
Now, go back to your shortcode settings, and select Custom Position
as your order option.
