Hi,

Can you post the screenshots of the page before and after, so I can confirm the settings? I will investigate this problem.

Demo is not wrong, There are 215 (or so) days until October 4 (or month 9 in JS). Plugin uses JavaScript functions to get difference between two dates, it is not doing any calculations on it’s own.

And, date title should be October 3 (days in JS object Date are from 1 to 31). Months start from 0, days from 1, what logic JavaScript creators used here we will never know :).

Hi,

This is due to the way JavaScript Date object defines month, it is already discussed. In JavaScript months counting starts from 0 not 1, so it is from 0 to 11 not 1 to 12.

Hi,

Not right now. Normal way to do this is to keep database entries of hidden links, but that would require table in database and all sorts of complications, and I wan’t to avoid that. Using third party shortening service has same issues. I plan to develop some simpler solution that will not depend on the database, but I have no idea when it will be ready.

Hi,

Plugin is made to protect topics in the forums, and for that to work, users need to create accounts first (so the data can be stored in database).

Please, check out the demos, there are several dealing with date/time countdowns,, PDF documentation (in plugin package) and tutorials here: [url]http://www.smartplugins.info/tutorials/smart-timer-and-counter/[/url].

Hi,

Plugin is not depended on the theme, so it should be work with any theme, and it does as far as I have tested. But, there are 2 common issues that might happen:

1. some themes can have nasty styling that might prevent my plugin to show (or it is left hidden due to theme styling).

2. theme (or some other plugin) is having errors in jQuery, and any jQuery error prevents running of jQuery code that follows. Since my plugin tries to run at the very end of the page, previous errors can cause problems.

I would need to see your website with theme and my plugin active (and at least one sidebar added and active) to be able to recommend what to do.

Milan

Hi,

No, plugin is designed to work with numbers only.

Glad I could help!

And because of this, I have managed to find and fix one previously unknown bug, and new minor version will be released tomorrow.

Hi,

You have (from the export file) 3 sidebars set as sitewide, and 1 has bunch of posts ID’s set for display rule. And you have all 4 sidebears rendered on the website, but 3 because I have found that you added this into your theme style:

.std-style-vielharmonie-style .std-tab {
    display: none !important;
}

And that is in effect hidding tabs, so that’s why they don’t work.

Milan

Thanks for reporting, I will check it out and release update in the next 3-4 days.

Hi,

Action is WordPress concept. You write a piece of PHP code that outputs something, and attach it to the action, and it is displayed when the action is fired. Here is the info on WordPress.org:

HI,

I have check the website, and all looks OK, with one exception. Third sidebar Portal is higher then the image inside of it. Reason for that is the placement. You have same vertical offset for all 3 sidebars, and third sidebar tab is placed underneath the other 2 sidebar tabs. So, the container for sidebar must be at least the height to cover the tab position too, and with the offset set where it is, sidebar is resized and made bigger to obey both offset and tab position. Sidebar total height depends on the tab position too, or you will have tab hanging on its own outside of the sidebar.

Hi,

Using filters and actions is basic WordPress and PHP, and any code changes require this basic knowledge. You also need to know what pages (types of pages – archives, single…) you need to hide it from and how they are described by WordPress in code. I have added example in documentation, but you need to modify it to include conditions that are related to your case. This code usually goes into theme functions.php, but that depends on your website, I can’t give you advice on that, it is not universal.

But, before all that. When you created sidebar, you can set the rules for displaying it and there you can adjust which page types sidebar will be active on, and that is the first stop. If this can describe your case of displaying on some pages only, use that and don’t bother with custom coding. Read the user guide and watch the demo video first.

Hi,

Developers guide PDF (first part of this document: Sidebar Activation Filter) has example on how to add hook to change the visibility of the sidebar based on conditional functions (for page, post, category). Plugin has rules editor for each sidebar, but for fine tuning of visibility, filter hook is best solution since it can be anything.
