VS Knowledge Base

Beschreibung

About

Mit diesem leichtgewichtigen Plugin kannst du eine Wissensdatenbank erstellen, die deine Kategorien und Beiträge enthält.

To display your knowledge base you can use a block, a shortcode or a widget.

You can customize your knowledge base with attributes.

It’s also possible to display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).

With this plugin you can also create a FAQ or wiki in the same way as a knowledge base.

Anleitung

After installation add the VS Knowledge Base block or the shortcode [knowledgebase] to a page to display your knowledge base.

Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the VS Knowledge Base widget.

Standardeinstellungen für Kategorien:

  • 4 columns when using block or shortode
  • 1 column when using widget
  • Sortieren nach Name
  • Aufsteigend sortiert (A-Z)
  • Empty categories are hidden
  • Parent and subcategories are displayed separately

Standardeinstellungen für Beiträge:

  • Sortieren nach Datum
  • Descending order (new to old)
  • Alle Beiträge werden angezeigt

You can customize your knowledge base with attributes.

Attribute

You can customize your knowledge base by adding attributes to the block, the shortcode or the widget.

  • Add custom CSS class to knowledge base: class="your-class-name"
  • Die Anzahl der Spalten ändern: columns="3"
  • Die Spalten deaktivieren: columns="0"
  • Bestimmte Kategorien einschließen: exclude="8,10,12"
  • Bestimmte Kategorien ausschließen: exclude="8,10,12"
  • Leere Kategorien auch anzeigen: hide_empty="0"
  • Kategorie-Beschreibung anzeigen: category_description="true"
  • Anzahl der Beiträge pro Kategorie ändern: posts_per_category="5"
  • Reihenfolge der Beiträge umkehren: order="ASC"
  • Display posts by title: orderby="title"
  • Beiträge in zufälliger Reihenfolge anzeigen: orderby="rand"
  • Anzahl der Beiträge anzeigen: post_count="true"
  • Display post meta (date and author): post_meta="true"
  • Display View All link: view_all_link="true"
  • Change label of View All link: view_all_link_label="your label"
  • Change label of post without title: no_post_title_label="your label"
  • Change the „no categories are found“ text: no_categories_text="your text"

Beispiel: [knowledgebase include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" post_meta="true"]

When using the block or the widget, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.

Beispiel: include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" post_meta="true"

Mit dem Attribut columns kannst du die Anzahl der Spalten zwischen 1 und 4 festlegen.

The knowledge base becomes 2 columns in small screens (except when number of columns is set to 1).

You can also disable the columns. This can be handy if you only want to use your own styling.

The columns attribute will be ignored when using the block or widget. Because you can set the columns via the block or widget settings.

Beitrags-Schlagwörter

Besides displaying posts by category you can also display posts by tag: taxonomy="post_tag"

Individuelle Inhaltstypen

It’s also possible to display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).

To display these categories and posts you should add 2 attributes: „taxonomy“ and „post_type“

WooCommerce:

  • Product categories and products: taxonomy="product_cat" post_type="product"
  • Include product category image: taxonomy="product_cat" post_type="product" woo_image="true"
  • Display by tag instead of category: taxonomy="product_tag" post_type="product"

FAQ

Wie stelle ich die Plugin-Sprache ein?

The plugin will use the website language, set in Settings > General.

If translations are not available in the selected language, English will be used.

Wo sind die Einstellungen?

Plugin has no settings page. Use the block, shortcode or widget with attributes to make it work.

Does this plugin have its own knowledge base post type?

No, this plugin is build to create a knowledge base that contains the default categories and posts.

It’s also possible to display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).

Why does the knowledge base look different between themes?

The plugin uses minimal styling and therefore also depends on the styling of your theme.

Wie kann ich das Layout oder die Farben ändern?

You can set the number of columns between 1 and 4 or disable the columns. This can be done via the block or widget settings or via an attribute.

If you disable the columns CSS class „vskb-custom“ is added to the knowledge base. This can be handy if you only want to use your own styling.

You can use page Additional CSS of the Customizer for your custom styling.

Wo findet man die Kategorie-ID?

Every category URL contains an unique ID. You will find this ID when hovering the category title in your dashboard or when editing the category.

It’s the number that comes after: tag_ID=

Ist es möglich, eine Unterkategorie unterhalb ihrer übergeordneten anzuzeigen?

No, this is not possible. Parent and subcategories are displayed separately.

Wird auch ein Beitrag ohne Titel angezeigt?

Yes, it will be displayed in the frontend of your website with a default label. You can change this label by using an attribute.

Can I use the plugin on a ClassicPress website?

Yes you can! Obviously you cannot use the block, so use the shortcode instead.

Why is there no semantic versioning?

The version number won’t give you info about the type of update (major, minor, patch). You should check the changelog to see whether or not the update is a major or minor one.

Rezensionen

This is a lightweight plugin but it has a power feature. It is easy to configure and display posts. If you have a good understanding of css, it will be much better. In addition to that, the creator is very helpful and supportive.

A quick and simple way to get up and running with a kb. Perfect for understanding what you need without feature clutter of „advanced“ plugins. Good support also.

Super straight forward and easy to use knowledge base plugin for posts. There isn’t a search bar though. Otherwise this is very nice.
