Featured Questions

Shoot, just realized i was on v1 documentation, uggghhh… I’m looking at v2 now…

So, I guess I’m back to my original question, how do I sort listings by featured first on the homepage? Also, the “Featured” badge is showing above rating on the homepage but it’s to the “Left” of ratings on the archive page. How do I get the “Featured” badge to beside the rating on the homepage so that it doesn’t make that archive item taller than the rest?

I’m still wondering about the “Featured” badge showing above rating on the homepage but it’s to the “Left” of ratings on the archive page. How do I get the “Featured” badge to beside the rating on the homepage so that it doesn’t make that archive item taller than the rest?

Thanks Guust, I’m not sure I’m following you though. I have it showing 5 grid on both I think. But, really, I’m not concerned about grid view.
The featured badge is showing different on the homepage than it does on the archive page. How can I make it consistent?

Also, the link you shared to the banner showing over the image, I had already looked at that. The documentation appears to suggest editing the archive template, does this mean move shortcode? Does this mean in the “archive template” page? that’s what it says. However, Archive page doesn’t have a way to move badge over image. Does this mean “archive item” template? I tried moving the badge over the image in the shortcode and of course that alone doesn’t work so I added the CSS offered but that didn’t work either. I also looked at archive.php under the child theme supreme theme. Do they mean archive.php?

As for making the featured badge a banner, that may be a workaround but it wouldn’t really help if I ever want to make this new V2 badge feature work for something else (like a “new” badge).

I did get the banner to work, but not using the documentation. I have another site that is a V1 to V2 conversion showing the banner badge. I just copied it’s shortcode and used it and wahlah it worked:

[gd_post_badge key=’featured’ condition=’is_not_empty’ badge=’FEATURED’ bg_color=’#1694e2′ txt_color=’#ffffff’ css_class=’gd-ab-left-angle gd-badge-shadow’]

Maybe the documentation could be simplified by saying something like:
to make a banner badge that shows over the image add css_class=’gd-ab-left-angle gd-badge-shadow’ in place of size=”extra-large” alignment=”right”

So, I’m good for now. Whenever I need to use the badge feature for something else though I imagine I’ll probably need help again because of the difference between how it was showing on the homepage and the archive page.
