Is there a function to get Notes?

If you use get_tp_publications() or get_tp_publication() the return includes the notes of the selected publications or what you mean?

How can I search through courses? It seems that search function just search beetween publications.

There is no similar search UI like [tpsearch] for courses. But you can use the function get_tp_courses() for a search through courses. The function is defined in core/database.php (there you can find the definitions for the available parameters).

First, I wish to thank you for the excellent plugin. I have been using it for some years and have just installed version 5 alpha.
I use the [tgcloud] shortcode for the pulldown filters, but cancel the cloud in css with display:none, because we have far too many tags.
Instead of the cloud, I would like to put the tags in a pulldown filter, the same as type, author, etc.
I think this would be a nice option, but I am willing to code if you could direct me.
Thank you so much.

Hi chomac,
You’re not the first one which asked me for a pulldown filter of tags. So, I will add an option for that to [tpcloud]. 😉

Is it possible to write in the note field html, like links or so? If I write there Links, I see the HTML-code on the Website

Hi ebussinetz
I answer you in german, because that could be a bit easier. 😉
Du kannst HTML-Code mit einer kleinen Änderung im Programmcode wieder nutzbar machen:
Suche in der Datei teachpress/core/class-bibtex.php die Funktion single_publication_meta_row() und dann diese Zeile:
$note = isset( $row['techtype'] ) ? tp_bibtex::prepare_html_line('note', $row['note'],', (',')',$use_span) : '';und ändere sie in:
$note = isset( $row['techtype'] ) ? tp_bibtex::prepare_html_line('note', htmlspecialchars_decode($row['note']),', (',')',$use_span) : '';Hab’s jetzt nicht getestet, sollte aber gehen. 😉
