    I loved the simplicity of Totally Booked, but can’t get it to comply with my theme (http://laurawrites.net/). My theme is titled “Pinboard.” I have tried to alter the wrapper, as recommended in the compatibility area:

    <div id=”primary” class=”site-content”>
    <div id=”content” role=”main” class=”entry-content pinboard”>

    Strangely, the widget seems to be working, I just can’t get the booktable to display anything. Also, is there a way to customize the label “BookTable?”

    Thanks for your help.

  • Those codes you tried are from the example theme. You have to go into your page.php template and dig out the div codes. Looking at the Pinboard theme, it should go something like this: (Please note, I have not tested this)

    Wrapper Start HTML:
    <div id=”container”>
    <div class=”entry”>
    <div class=”entry-content”>

    Wrapper End HTML:
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>

    Hi. I tweaked the page.php page and inserted the code, but there’s no change. I’ll keep working with it. Thanks.

    Hi Laura, I apologise for the delays I was taking a few days off as my Wife just had our third baby.

    I had a look at your site but could not see the problems in action, have you disabled the plugin, and if so are you still wanting to give it a go?

    Cheers
    Ben

    Hi, Ben. Thanks for responding and congrats on the baby. Yes, I uninstalled it. Did you look at my theme? Is it difficult to adjust the plugin to suit a theme like that?

    Hi Laura,
    I’m chiming in here while my genius plugin co-author is enjoying some family time.

    In order to help you troubleshoot the way the plugin works with your theme, we’ll actually need to see the issue in action.

    If you decide to re-install the plugin, and add a book into the system so we can see how it interacts with your theme, we’ll be glad to take a look and do whatever we can to help!

    Cheering you on,
    Kelli

    Hi, Kelli. Sure, we can give it a shot. I have added info for 1 book, the page is http://laurawrites.net/books/black-diamond/.

    The image comes up okay, but there’s no synopsis and no links to buy the book elsewhere. I did a fresh install of my WordPress the day before yesterday (my host had some server trouble) and that seems to have helped a little. When I used it before, nothing would show, but the book’s title. So, at least the image is showing up and the “Buy Now” page looks good.

    Hi Laura,
    I totally see what you’re talking about! The plugin displays the book summary on the Archive page: http://laurawrites.net/books/

    But not on the Book page itself: http://laurawrites.net/books/black-diamond/

    When I look at the code for the page, the whole section from <div class="entry-content clear"> onward, is there, but not appearing.

    I have some thoughts about this, but want to check with Ben for his guru-greatness input first, and then I’ll get back to you ASAP.

    Hang in there, we’ll get this figured out!

    Cheering you on,
    Kelli

    Hi Laura, I had a look at your theme, and have found the problem.

    the following lines of CSS should correct the problem, if you aren’t up for modifying your theme you can use one of the several custom CSS editors to add it in, there is one included with the jetpack plugin and half a dozen in the repository.

    . tb_book .entry-content.clear{
        visibility:visible!important;
        width:auto!important;
        height:auto!important;
    }

    I will add in a fix in the next release, but unfortunately I don’t have a timeframe for it.

    whoops, there should be no gap in .tb_book there, try this:

    .tb_book .entry-content.clear{
        visibility:visible!important;
        width:auto!important;
        height:auto!important;
    }

    Hi. So far so good. http://laurawrites.net/books/

    Laura, can you try something to make the theme integration even better?

    in the theme compatability options, put this in the wrapper start HTML box this:

    <div id="container">
    		<section id="content" class="column fullcol">

    and in the wrapper end: this –

    </div></div>

    that should make the content apepar in that lovely bordered box like the rest of the site.

    Cheers
    Ben

    That looks much better. It gives it a little room between the border and the book cover. I have a number of books (which I hope to get all added eventually) so I’m excited about using such an efficient plugin. I’m extremely glad that it worked with the theme.

    Thats still not quite how I was thinking, try this in the wrapper start:

    <div id="container">
    		<section id="content" class="column fullcol entry">

    Theme compatibility is a big problem with plugins like this, we are dedicated to making it work with as many as possible.

    Cheers
    Ben
