Hi Codestar team.

When I check the theme with the https://github.com/envato/envato-theme-check plugin I get many errors related to the codestar plugin (see screenshot https://prnt.sc/r3emaa)

1 – Can they be fixed in any way?

2- Will these errors cause the WP Theme to be rejected?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Yes It can be issue, because according to the new rules the 3th party plugins must be into the core/add-ons plugin. ( wordpress theme requirements ) or you can active the framework plugin with TGM Plugin Activation. Generally we are developers includes the framework into core/add-ons plugin of theme.

Regads, Codestar

Great plugin, we use it in our company.

Now I want to buy it for creating my own themes. 2 things I wanted to ask first, since I think you are including the SCSS files, can we change the style(colors etc) of theme options panel? And the text that is on the theme options panel “Codestar Framework by Codestar”.

Can this be a link under the panel and the title is the actual theme? Are we required to keep it that way and keep all the styles as they are or we are free to edit them?

Thank you!

Hi,

1. Yes, there are scss folder in assets folder inside plugin. You can change styles from scss or css your choose…

2. All texts are changeable via config array. for eg. framework_title argument allows to change “Codestar Framework by….” You can see all things from theme options documentation arguments table.

3. I didn’t get this question for “actual theme”. I advise create a override css file and change styles.

Have a nice day

Hi – A few presale questions here, and please understand I’m only somewhat technical

1. If I understand correctly – this plugin to can be used create meta boxes with the styles shown in the demo. Does the plugin create code which then needs to be added the the functions file each time its used – or does the plugin add the code there?

2. Does the plugin have a builder which helps create the meta boxes in a drop and drag style – for example the way many form plugins work? Or does it generate code that must be added?

3. In the demo, it shows it working with a gutenberg post – I’d like to use it for a plugin that uses a custom post type which in not gutenberg enabled – will it work alright for that?

Just one other thing to help you understand my need – I’m using this to customize the settings for some plugins – not creating my own. Also – I have a developer I will be turning this project over to, I just want to make sure I’m choose the best option for the project – thanks

Hi,

Thanks for interested.

1. I didn’t get this question. If you ask: you don’t need to include framework files each time. If there exists codestar framework you can create new metaboxes. For eg. Suppose X plugin have codestar framework. you can add metaboxes from Y plugin with a simple “If exists condition”.

2. Uh, there is no a builder, you should to create config file by manually. But it’s easy to config because there is a detailed documentation.

3. Yes. The framework metaboxes works both Gutenberg and Classic Editor.

4. You can use this plugin anywhere. After purchasing, register support forum and give account to your developer. I’ll be ready for helps.

Have a nice day.

Hello…

Codestar is very light and nice framework indeed! Already tried free version.

I’ve a question before getting pro version.

Is it possible to create front end forms using Codestar Framework? Like this one – https://metabox.io/plugins/mb-frontend-submission/

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for interested and nice words.

Uh No, It is not possible. As you know it is only a backend option framework.

Hi, great job, Before purchasing, I need to know if your plugin support repeater field in the customizer section or not, as well a custom “Add a widget” button in a customizer custom panel (NOT THE WIDGETS PANEL)? Thanks a lot, Kind regards

Hi,

Thanks for interested to purchasing.

All fields compatible with customizer. Actually I was think to add all fields to customizer for demo and your message trigged me. I have added it. Take a look demo customizer and see “CSF – Fields”. Also widgets has been activated.

Have a nice day.
Regards, Codestar

Thanks for the fast reply, My idea is to put a widget inside a repeater field, so, it seems like so: CSF – Fields > Repeater > + button > Add a Widget Is this logic possible? Thanks again

Hi,

You’re welcome. Hmm, I understand but not sure what you need exactly. Best way is download free version and try it on admin panel. If it works, it will work on customizer as well ( https://github.com/Codestar/codestar-framework )

Hi,

Thanks for interested to buy.

There is no custom fonts adding field, but it’s possible with Repeater or Group fields. For eg. There is a filter for adds custom fonts. See this How to add custom font-family. I mean, you can manage this filter with Repeater or Group fields. Also I’m using this method for my themes :)

Hello, how do I add an upload field for mp3 files? and can the audio file be played in the backend (like a quick preview for admin to check the content of the audio file to ensure it is the correct file )

what’s the main difference between “type: media” and “type: upload”... the result seems the same to me

I have added preview for audio myself…

$field_url   =  $this->value['url'];
echo $this->field_before();
if( ! empty( $args['preview'] ) ) {
if ($library != 'audio') {
echo ' ';
echo ' remove fa fa-times">-src" /> ';
echo ' ';
}
if ($library == 'audio') {
echo ' <audio controls><source src="' . $field_url . '" type="audio/mpeg">Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio> ';
}

Hi,

type:media has detailed output ( id, width, height, thumbnail etc )
type:upload has only “url” output.

Btw, Yes I have noted audio preview for next update ;)

Can you answer the questions? 1- does it work without entering the license code? 2- Are there any restrictions without entering the license? 3- Turkish leangue support Is there?

Hi,

Yes sure. Thanks for intested.

1. 2. There is no license code activation. Because it’s a framework and the developers doesn’t like entering license code.

3. No. But It’s easy. I can help you about language support.
