In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] calendar overwrites widgetyeah. the ‘custom tooled plugin’ was a mistake. we opted for the Custom Post Widget instead. my information was bad at the time i was writing. i apologize for that.
the Custom Post Widget embeds chunks of content into a sidebar widget. so we can build reusable content and then just drop it into the widget. the plugin handles everything, so there aren’t even any shortcodes. we use one of them on the sidebar to post out location.
we don’t use a calendar widget at all. which is where the confusion comes from. and what’s weird, is that it doesn’t write to any of the other widgets… oddball city! O_o
i’ll give the beta a spin and see what happens. in the meantime, we’re using a widget context plugin to basically turn off the widget while on the calendar page. not what we want, but beats two calendars on the same page.
keep you posted regarding the beta’s performance.
thank you.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] calendar overwrites widgetheyo! we don’t have any custom widgets, (and yeah, sooo many plugins out there…), the name is a misnomer, we use the Custom Post Widget plugin which let’s drop in blocks of content and there are no shortcodes to speak of.
what strikes me as strange is that it is ONLY on the page that your calendar is on. it doesn’t recreate the widget, it just overwrites the content. i’ve tried other themes and the same effect persists.
if there’s anything i can provide, information-wise, let me know.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] calendar overwrites widget*bump*
really would like to get this sorted or i’ll just dump the plugin and move to something else…which i’d rather not do because everything else is awesome. but client is King… dammit. >_>

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] calendar overwrites widgeti should amend my previous in saying that it ONLY overwrites on the calendar page. the widget populates properly on every other page. when i said ‘regardless of where it is’ i was referring to position in either widget area (main, secondary), or order placed in the widget area (first, second, &c).
when i examine it with Firebug, i can’t see anything class-or-id-wise that would cause it to target the widget area (and ONLY on the one page)
very, very odd. also frustrating.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] calendar overwrites widgetsorry for the long reply delay. tried disabling all plugins and one-by-one re-enabling. i think it’s just a flat out conflict with the Custom Post widget. it overwrites anything in it. period. regardless of where it is. and we use that plugin everywhere, so ditching it is not an option.
what i can’t figure out is WHY it’s writing to that widget! i could see if i had placed a calendar widget, but right out of the box, BAM! so i’m not seeing why it’s trying to write to that widget when it hasn’t been called…
anyway. what else can i do to help fix this ‘feature’? 🙂

In reply to: Clarification on Multisite Installationwell. i think i figured out what i did wrong.
NO SPACES IN DIRECTORY NAMES.
totally got blindsided by that one… took out the spaces in the client directory names and poof. it worked.
which still leaves question 3 and perhaps some illumination on the multisite thing…
thanks all.

In reply to: custom blog homepage not loadingEsmi:
good link, and i read it top to bottom. i’ve done everything there. still not showing up. in fact, i could not have done step 3 without declaring the template.
since i’m not getting any traction, and deadline is approaching, i’m going to burn it down and start again. if that fails, i’ll just fall back to Joomla.
thanks!

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Page.php and Custom page CSS not loadingwhy not use PHP to load the relevant CSS based on the page’s template?
like so:
<?php if (is_page_template('template-about.php')); { ?> <link rel='stylesheet' href='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); /css-dir/about.css' /> <?php } ?>obviously ‘template-about.php’ will be replaced with the name of your template and ‘/css-dir/about.css’ will be replaced with the relevant path to your own CSS file.
hope that works for you!
