I created this plugin while working at CTLT@UBC. I left the office a year ago and since I am not an active WP user myself, I have little interest in maintaining the plugin. (Actually, it’s not like I could even if I wanted to – I no longer have access to the SVN credentials required to push updates.) You should check with the guys at CTLC and see if they are still using/maintaining the plugin. If not, then hopefully someone else would fork the plugin and update it.

Hi airfoil:

The FF error is likey caused by something else and it shouldn’t have anything to do with the other problem you are experiencing.

For the escaping problem, does it occur on al elements or just some of them? For non-admin users, all “dangerous” HTML nodes and attributes will be stripped or escaped (<script />, , etc.)

Hi,

This is the way it is supposed to behave, I understand that it is not optimal, but there is not easy solution for this. However, in practice the effect of this “problem” is rather minimal as most browsers will cache the file locally.

I just tried SW on wordpress 2.9 and it seems to work fine. You sure it’s not caused by something else? It sounds like you’re getting some JavaScript error. If you are using Firefox, can you install the firebug plugin (getfirebug.com) and see if there are any error messages in the error console?

Hi

Try adding the widget first… I probably would work just fine. Once you have added that to the sidebar you may try the scope detection if you want to. The scope detection requires at least one tabbed sw on the sidebar.

Godfrey

Hi,

Does scope detection is only necessary if you are using the tabbed section widget. The non-tabbed version should work fine right out of the box. Do you have a link to your site?

Hello,

I’m kinda busy theses days but I’ll try to test that out asap. What exactly is the problem that you are experiencing?

Godfrey

As with any other PHP code snippset plugin, it is not secure. In fact I don’t recommend using any of these plugin if you can avoid it. My proposed alternative is to write shortcodes for those functions you need, so no one could modify the actual PHP code unless they have write access to your web server.

You’re not missing anything, accordion has NOT been implemented yet. I am still deciding if I should put that in or not, as it is going to significantly increase the complexity of the plug-in. If you are comfortable with writing a jQuery code, you can modify the JavaScript file in the plugin to do what you need (for now).

Godfrey

Hi, what you want to do is actually kind of complicated. In order to make a tab “stay selected” between different pages, you’d have to store that value somewhere in a browser cookie. The example you linked from above is for a different task, and the code you pasted in your last post is for reading the current selected tab’s ID, but it doesn’t store it anywhere or use it in any meaningful way.

To do what you need, you’ll need to load jquery.cookies.js (Download it from here). And then you can add the following code in your theme JavaScript file:

jQuery('.swt-wrapper').tabs('option', 'cookie', { expires: 30 });

If you are not too comfortable with doing all that, I’d advise you to leave it as is unless the feature is mission critical to your site.

Hi Gravity,

I actually noticed that problem before, but unfortunately, that is a jQuery thing and I cannot offer a fix. There are multiple tickets opened for that on their trac, so you might want to leave your comments there instead.

You can either disable the css altoghter and roll your own, or you can override any of the css rules (easiest way is using !important)

Hi,

I just copied and pasted the exact code you provided into my test site and it seems to work fine. Maybe it’s just a temporary issue? (e.g. feed is not available ATM)

Hi Steph,

The first part of your question has been answered several times – we deliberately avoided the “widgets within widget” approach because we find it very difficult to manage (you can use “Tabbed Widget” for that if you REALLY want to).

HOWEVER, rescue is here ?? You can actually accomplish a lot of things by just using shortcodes. For example, if you need a tag cloud in your section widget, simply install the Template Tag Shortcodes plugin and put “[wp_tag_cloud]” inside your widget! You can check out our other examples and suggestions in the Screenshots and FAQ page.
