I briefly enjoyed your dropdown plug-in, but then I switched my permalink format from the default to the /category/year/month/day/blog format and that seemed to break the plug-in. The drop-down becomes a red link-list. Not exactly what I was hoping for. I’m sure I’m doing something stupid. Hope that my problem helps with future code development. jbb
April 30, 2008 at 8:26 am #2680imported_RyanMemberI don’t think this is a problem with my plugin. If you post a link to an example of this problem in action I can try to help figure out what the issue is.
Changing permalinks shouldn’t have any effect on the plugin. It should just … change your permalinks; and nothing else.
April 30, 2008 at 7:30 pm #2681RobRushMemberha, i’m all over this message board today. i see that the site lumberinthrulife.com has fixed the problem. any tips?
April 30, 2008 at 11:05 pm #2682imported_RyanMemberGood to see you are making use of the new forum ” title=”Smiley” /> It was launched about 12 hours ago.
I suspect the problem was unrelated to the permalinks issue.
April 30, 2008 at 11:15 pm #2683imported_RyanMemberI tested this out in the demo blog for the beta plugin. And as can be seen from this page, it seems to be working fine … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/test/wordpress2/ … -the-team/
May 1, 2008 at 2:32 am #2684RobRushMemberi’ve been butchering my theme so i have a test site… i threw up the WuCoco theme, which i’ve based my theme off of, and your menu, with permalinks set to a %date structure and it’s malfunction over at
http://www.routinefly.com/testing-grounds
what about my theme could be effecting this?
you can see the functioning default permalink structure working beautifully with your dropdowns at
i have a static front page, and would like to link to the blog/catagories section from the drop down… do i need to make a custom button with all the catagory links and the main link to the blog? the catagories setting does the trick but the top link "blogs" takes you to the home page… which makes sense.. but is there a way to change that link?
May 1, 2008 at 6:44 am #2685imported_RyanMemberRobRush – Your theme seems to be just the regular Default Kubrick theme.
It doesn’t have the suckerfish() declared anywhere, hence the menu doesn’t display. This is not related to any permalinks issues.
May 1, 2008 at 6:50 am #2686imported_RyanMemberAlso, your current blog button on your menu seems to be working fine, it is redirecting to your blog. Or am I misunderstanding something?
May 3, 2008 at 1:22 am #2687RobRushMemberstrange, okay…
http://www.routinefly.com/testing-grounds
now has the propper theme i’ve been playing with and the error. i don’t know how it got switched over.
on the current blog…
you are right the blog button goes to the blog, but i’d like to have it dropdown to a catagories list, if i make the button a catagories button, i have no way of making the main link go to the blog… the only way i can think to do it is to make the catagories list manually which i guess isn’t really that hard to do but… you know, i thought i’d ask.
May 3, 2008 at 1:49 am #2688imported_RyanMemberIf there is an error in your WordPress theme, your install will revert back to the default theme. It’s a long term bug in WordPress.
I’ll go take a look at your site now and see if I can help with your problem.
May 3, 2008 at 1:53 am #2689imported_RyanMemberYour most obvious error is the lack of [code:3pjifbs0]</body>[/code:3pjifbs0] and [code:3pjifbs0]</html>[/code:3pjifbs0] tags.
May 3, 2008 at 2:20 am #2690imported_RyanMemberRobRush, I think there is something wrong with your web host. When I download your page, it works fine. But for some reason the style.php file is not rendered by the browser. I thought the answer would be found in the response headers, but when I checked them with the Firefox web developer toolbar it does seem to be sent as text/css. I am quite baffled by this, I have never seen this happen before.
If you want your blog button to display as a category list, then try the beta plugin. Then change the "Categories" title to "Blog". However doing that will result in a "Blog" button which links no where. If you need to correct that, you will need to enter the PHP scripts directly rather than using the suckerfish() function. I can help out with the custom script, but it would need to be a paid job (use our contact page[/url:2irsjip6] to find out more about this).
May 3, 2008 at 2:26 am #2691imported_RyanMemberRobRush – I’ve left a message in the SitePoint CSS forum to see if anyone can figure out an answer to your problem … http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthr … ost3807787
If you could keep that example up for a day that would be very handy for me, so that one of them can help me sort your problem out.
I’m worried this may be related to problems others have been reporting. However I haven’t been able to help anyone prior to this as no one has shown me a live example of the problem in action.
May 3, 2008 at 3:20 am #2692RobRushMemberi’ll leave it up no prob. the theme i have up there now is a working theme and shouldn’t have any errors.
May 3, 2008 at 3:25 am #2693imported_RyanMemberThanks ” title=”Smiley” /> Hopefully we can sort a solution to this problem shortly.
