Wow, about 5 minutes after I posted this, I found the problem. It =is= in the frame hack. This apparently isn’t an issue in other browsers, but if you find yourself needing to use the frame because of conflicts, like I did, here’s how to modify it to your liking:

Open the plugin file called nggSmooth.php. Right around line 100 you’ll find:

// Increases frame width and height by 3px in order to display the complete image on the inside.
    return "<p style=\"".nggSmoothAlign($info['align'], $info['margin'], "iframe")."\">
              <iframe width=\"". ($info["width"]+3) ."px\" height=\"". ($info["height"]+3) ."px\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" name=\"smooth_frame_".rand()."\" src=\"" . BASE_URL . $frame_url . "\"></iframe>
            </p>";

This is where you play with the position of the frame in which the show appears. Simply set +3 to +0 to get rid of an ugly border, or set +3 to +anything else if you want more of a border (like if you wanted a faux drop shadow).

I just figured it out. Leaving it blank allows you to lock the whole blog. That’s not in the documentation but it certainly works.

Problem solved, thank you!

I don’t mean to sound unappreciative of the update to the plugin, I’ve loved it since you first offered it.

The new version doesn’t lock anyone out of the home page, as “Allowed Pages” uses “0” as default to show the home page only…and that means I don’t have a way of saying “don’t show any pages.” I can lock them out of everything past the home page but in this regard anyone can see the blog, where before they needed credentials to even know it was there. It used to be perfect for allowing my friends to see the work I was doing for them without unveiling it to anyone else.

If there’s a trick to bypassing this, please let me know. I’ll happily hack away at my copy to make it work the way it used to.

Awesome, thank you!

But I liked Absolute Privacy a lot for its very simple lockdown =( I’d like if it retained the option to lock everyone out.

Works like a charm! I even installed FCKEditor with pwwwang’s extras in it and Quick Post Widget works perfectly.

Thank you! Looks like I owe you a cup of coffee =)

Thanks, Perry, this fixed worked fine! Widgets now slide around as intended. I don’t have a white box; it’s picking up my theme colors nicely.

On the other issues I mentioned, I did some serious hunting this weekend:

#1 — This isn’t your plugin. I found a call in the WP post function with an extra “;” in it that, surprisingly, did not break anything else except new “quick-post” posts. Once I took this out, the regularly generated posts and the quick-posts lived together nicely.

#2 — FCKEditor still disables (and hides) the “visual editor” button, but now when I deactivate FCKEditor your pop-up window, with functions, comes up nice and tidy! The only thing I can think would be to force the WP built-in editor even if another editor is active…but that’s up to you. For us, we need to use FCKEditor =/

#4 — Plugin is now listing Recent Posts perfectly. This may have been related to #1 and no longer an issue.

Cheers!

Whoops, that #4 was supposed to say “ignores ulli rules…” It converted to a bullet instead. Sorry!

Accidentally added to http’s to the event pages example above. Here’s the right link:

Example of the event pages.

I’m losing my sidebar on all calendar-related posts, too. Would love to know if there’s a fix for it, I’ve tried just about everything. Fortunately I have a header-based top menu so I’m not at a complete loss, but not being able to show some things on the event pages is frustrating.

I had a similar problem, but the issue was in my style.css for the site, not for the plugin.

Check your stylesheet.css and see what the width of “widecolumn” is set to, since the calendar calls the “widecolumn” configuration. Some themes set both narrowcolumn and widecolumn in the same line, you’ll need to break them up into different div ids.

Whoops, forgot to link so you can see the problem first-hand.

This worked! Taking out the clear:both entries (just the two top ones) got the image to the top.

But next the bottom margin didn’t change and went on forever, so I took out this code:

.ngg-clear {
clear: both;
}

and it now is working perfectly like any image should. Thank you!!

Have you tried using different numbers of posts and seeing if it works in those other configurations? Do you see five posts when you set it to show five, ten posts when you set it to show ten, etc?

Being completely new to css I have no idea where I should put a header image into this style. I love it, by the way!

Wow, I just looked at the validation you ran…this theme is right out of the zip file and it’s that messy? I may try to find myself a more complete theme :/
