Hi Travis

Yet another great release, thank you. Really pleased you got the company thing fixed as I needed it for yet another website I’m using this plugin on ??

You know, I hadn’t used the widget before – but it’s SO simple! I actually wanted to insert the widget on a PHP page design, and with a few steps, added my own new sidebar, added your widget to it, and called that new sidebar from the php – took about 8 minutes to code up and worked great.

Got a quick idea for you Travis – does the widget (if you check cycle through all) grab ALL testimonial entries and just hide/show the LI’s ? Would it be difficult to grab the first 3 only, and then the next by AJAX? I spend a lot of time optimising page load, and if there are 50 testimonials and the visitor only stays on the page to see one of them, then it’s a slow load. I might have misunderstood the code, so correct me if I’ve got it wrong ??

Thanks again Travis,

Mark

Hi there

By the way – just given this a go here, and it’s a no go ??

Will keep trying. If you (or anyone) gets anywhere, please post back!

Cheers

Mark

Hi there

Nope, not yet.

I spoke with Frederick, the owner, a few days ago though and he’s suggested we try disabling rewrite URL for minify.

I’ve not had a chance to try this yet, as I’ve been up to my neck in other codework but if you give it a shot and get a result, could you post back here please?

Mark

Hey Travis ?? Hope you’re really good out there ??

I just Googled and found this page – same problem for myself, thought it was something I’d done at my end ?? Glad you’re aware of it

Cheers for now,

Mark

Hey Senlin,

This is fantastic. Well done indeed! I’ve taken the code and it’s doing exactly what I want. Hurrah!

Mark

I THINK I’ve just solved my own problem after thinking some more.

To get the HeadSpace2 post/page title, just use wp_title(”);

To get the original post/page title, just use the_title();

Does anyone concur?

Mark

Thank you, thank you, thank you ??

Ditto – struggling for ages! ??

Hi there

@jan – Just want to make sure I understand what you’ve done, as I cannot get your suggestion working …

In the plugins/w3-total-cache folder, I amended the file w3-total-cache.php as follows:

//require_once dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/inc/define.php’;
require_once ‘c:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\w3-total-cache\inc\define.php’;

and

//require_once W3TC_DIR . ‘/lib/W3/Plugin/TotalCache.php’;
require_once ‘c:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\w3-total-cache\lib\W3\Plugin\TotalCache.php’;

It’s made no difference – both times, get a minified filename put into the HTML HEAD, and have the correct CSS files removed … but the minifed file itself is not created.

Mark

Hi all

I’ve got exactly the same problem going on here. Not sure what I need to do and struggling! Minifying JS is working … minifying CSS is not working – no file created in the correct directory.

It cannot be server-based folder/file access – the W3TC plugin has created folders and files in those folders everywhere else. Sounds like a bug in the app is causing the minifed CSS to not be created due to a unique/non-tested set of circumstances.

Would be good to crack here for all of us, and to help Frederick within the app build.

Mark

OK – comment update time!

I’VE GOT W3 TOTAL CACHE WORKING WITH XCACHE. If anyone wants to know, let me know, and I’ll either post on here on our LogicSpot blog

Now just got to fix:

Memcache: Not installed
Mime type detection: Not installed

And the preview mode issue with Windows – cannot deploy!

I will raise separate topics in here for each so I don’t hijack this thread off-topic ??

Hi there

I have removed eAccelerator – does anyone know of a guide that recommends implementing W3 Total Cache on a Windows platform with a suitable caching technology? I’ve not seen one. If I ever get it working I will probably write one myself on our blog to give to others!

This is REALLY hard you know. No APC cache build that works, managed to find an eAccelerator build that works and PHP and Apache love … but W3 Total Cache doesn’t like it .. and XCache, as of late yesterday fails to work as I’ve said above.

The other problem I’ve got in another thread re the permissions or something about PREVIEW always showing up (not able to DEPLOY) means I’m not seeing any minified code – so it’s a nice looking admin tool just now but nothing else ??

So at the moment, I’m 10 days down using W3 Total Cache and it’s just not worth having it on!

Hmmmm!

Hi there

You say eAccelerator still works … I saw no speed improvements, and couldn’t choose it from the W3TC config screens … so despite Apache config/info screens telling me it was there, it looked like W3TC wasn’t using it … if that makes sense?

And re xcache – I’m running php5.3.3 and just tried the install for Windows and PHP 5.3.0 and it’s failed (php -v giving runtime errors and not finding the dll despite it being there) so not sure if I should now downgrade php to a previous version and get another dll !

Hi there ??

Thanks for taking time to reply.

I’m a bit thrown by your response though – I’m looking for something that’s new/maintained as opposed to something so old. Perhaps I shouldn’t be looking to implement eAccelerator at all and look at XCache or APC (if I could find a build for Windows!) ?

Hi Frederick,

Thanks for the reply. I’ve taken ownership of the wp-content/ folder as Administrator and it’s made no difference.

Anyone else out there in TV land got this working on Windows?

Marky_UK

I’ve installed this on two WAMP (Windows Server 2003) servers and have the same problem on both servers.

Any ideas how to fix on there?

Thanks in advance ??
