Swift page builder to custom post type

[Hapexi]

Hi,

Is it possible to enable the swift page builder to a custom post type?

Hi,
At the moment i am afraid it does not work with Custom Post Types. Its in the to do list so should be available in few iterations.

Can you tell me if there is a way for me to activate the page template for blog post? I would need to create a event category post and I dont want it so use the post template because of all the extra in the page. I need a empty page so I can make the post look like I want.

Hi,

Sorry cant really make out what you need done. If you want some elements removed from a particular post we can do that with some custom css.

Or

Are you asking for how to create a new page template for blog posts in a child theme ?.

Well I managed to create the kind of page template in child theme what I needed, but I was just asking if there is a inbuilt way to create a blog post that would look like a Page so person can have total control over the look of the page instead of being forced to use the paginations and blog infos.

Hi,

No i am afraid there is no such option . But its a good idea. I am sure Ed can put this on the list of feature updates.

Thanks

hey,

i was also looking for a solution to enable the swift page builder for my custom post type. luckily i know from different themes where to look. the biggest problem is to find the little piece of code where the page builder will be assigned to the post types. well i took me 10 minutes to find the right lines:

add in line 42 and 44 your custom post type:
dante/swift-framework/page-builder/builder/lib/builder.php

i know that’s not the best solution, but as long as there is no other possibility as mentions by one of the staff members, this should work till the next update.

Thanks for posting this @kommTrotz2011

That’s the ticket @kommTrotz2011! Thank you!!

Let me clarify a bit for anyone not savvy in code…

-Open the file ‘builder.php’. It is located in the following folder:
wp-content/themes/dante/swift-framework/page-builder/builder/lib/builder.php
-Lines 42 & 44 of builder.php should read as below.

$this->postTypes = $pt_array ? $pt_array : array('page', 'post', 'portfolio', 'product', 'team', 'jobs', 'ajde_events', 'example_slug',);
            } else {
$this->postTypes = $pt_array ? $pt_array : array('page', 'post', 'portfolio', 'team', 'jobs', 'ajde_events', 'example_slug');	            

-Replace “example_slug” with the slug of your custom post type into those lines. You should have defined the slug when creating the custom post type.

Voila!! …for now.
