I'm new here and I have a problem with installing my cutline to my wordpress site.

But the function.php has only one call line for for the first sidebar file. So you need to create another call line calling out to the second sidebar file.</p> <p>3) Do this by opening the function.php file. Find the line (near the top) that reads:</p> <blockquote><p>if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )<br /> register_sidebar(1);</p> </blockquote> <p>Copy the "register_sidebar(1);" line. Paste the new line below it. Change the "1" to a "2" like this:</p> <blockquote><p> register_sidebar(2);</p> </blockquote> <p>Be sure to keep the semicolon!<br /> And that's it! You should see "Sidebar 1" and "Sidebar 2" in your widgets options. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/sidebar-code-to-display-pages-cant-be-found-cutline-v13-3-column-right#post-1275 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 08:29:16 +0000 CaliforniaJerry 1275@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>The "Pages" widget was turned on in the widgets area, </p> <p><code>Wordpress Dashboard -&gt; Presentation -&gt; Widgets</code></p> <p>So, apparently you can either have static content from the sidebar files, OR widgets, but not both. </p> <p>The work around for that is to take out that IF statement or move the ENDIF statement so it doesn't exclude the static items. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/sidebar-code-to-display-pages-cant-be-found-cutline-v13-3-column-right#post-1274 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 07:52:12 +0000 CaliforniaJerry 1274@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>Turns out, in "sidebar.php" when I take out the test for widgets, the sidebar code is displayed:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (!function_exists(&#39;dynamic_sidebar&#39;) || !dynamic_sidebar(1)) : ?&gt; &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> That implies that my widgets aren't working and that something else gets displayed instead.

I poked and prodded the coding as much as possible but I haven't been able to find an easy solution that didn't involve widgets. </p> <p>I'll try and explain though I admit in advance, I am crap at explaining things like this. I just poke at code until it does what I want and I'm not always sure why it works.</p> <p>The answer I've cobbled together so far involves using 3 sidebars (the ones that exist already: l_sidebar.php and r_sidebar.php and one I called sidebar3.php). To create, sidebar3, I just made a copy of the code for "right" (since I was planning on that one being the one that changed most) and I renamed it by including a call for Template Name: sidebar3 at the top. That way, the templates that are supposed to call that one, know which one to get.</p> <p>In functions.php, I changed the number of sidebars to 3 and lo! there appeared 3 sidebars on my widgets presentation page so I could mess with the contents of the various sidebars. I also grabbed the JAW Duplicate Widgets plugin to allow me to make multiple copies of specific widgets ('cause I needed two sidebars to include "Recent Posts" and stuff like that. It also allowed me to make quite a few "Text Box" widgets which I used for ads.</p> <p>So, having created the sidebars, I went about creating templates and making sure that the sidebar I want on the right (I've left the left one pretty consistent) is name of the sidebar after the TEMPLATEPATH include near the bottom of the page. </p> <p>I would have liked to have avoided all the widgeting but *shrug* - no other answer seemed to be forthcoming and I didn't know how to "unresolve" the thread since I wasn't sure how it got marked resolved in the first place. </p> <p>I've done my best to explain. I'm not sure I helped but I hope I did. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/which-file-do-i-edit#post-887 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 23:51:09 +0000 yonigre 887@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>MarkA - Sweet, thanks for the help. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/which-file-do-i-edit#post-886 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 20:27:12 +0000 MarkA 886@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>I've been struggling a bit myself with trying to get the Sharethis and Printthis widget to appear on the same line. But there is good news. The newly released Sharethis version (2.1b1) allows one to position the widget at a location of one's choice. In the WP admin area under "Options" select ShareThis. This assumes that you have version 2.1b1. There are three menu choices which all have to be set to "no". Then you need to mod the pertinent Cutline php-files (index.php,pages.php,archives.php,single.php), to get the widget to appear where you want it. This bit of php code needs to be inserted:<br /> &lt;?php if (function_exists('sharethis_button')) { sharethis_button(); } ?&gt; </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/which-file-do-i-edit#post-881 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 21:22:39 +0000 yonigre 881@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>I chucked the addthis widget, so now I'm just seeking to have the sphere and share it widgets appear on the same line.
