Help with iNove sidebar widgets

  • Hello,

    I am using the iNove theme. I want to customize the widgets displayed in the sidebar. However when I use the widgets control under Appearance there are no widgets being used. iNove seems to have widgets hardcoded into the theme. How do I remove the exiting widgets and then add my own.

    One of the main things I want to do is have it stop displaying RANDOM posts I want it to display them in chronological order.

    Also the iNove theme refers to north, south, east and west sidebars. And when I look at the CSS there is even a centersidebar. What is all that?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mike

  • iNove seems to have widgets hardcoded into the theme. How do I remove the exiting widgets and then add my own.

    Just add your widgets and the default sidebar items will be removed…with the exception of the rss at the top…you can remove that from the sidebar.php file.

    Also the iNove theme refers to north, south, east and west sidebars.

    North shows at the top of the sidebar, east and west show in the middle in two columns (east (right) and west (left)), and south shows last.

    there is even a centersidebar

    Have no idea what that is.

    Hello,
    Now, I was wondering how to get the seach bar to display correctly in IE 7.
    It does not seem to do very well in IE 7, I think the searchbar is also hardcoded in the sidebar template… but cant seem to find it.

    figaro is right.

    Figaro is right. The N S E W can be a bit confusing. I thought it referred to the top bottom left and right of the site, but it’s within the sidebar on the right. For a newbie such as myself it was a bit confusing. Once you populate your own info into each area, you can see it takes out the ‘default’ widgets. Work in progess, but you can see more here.

    hallelujah, I have finally found out how to remove the default things in inove sidebar, thankyou all. As I am so new to this I am a bit reluctant to change anything without checking on the specifics.
    I’d like to start at the top, the default RSS. Figaro, you say to remove it in the sidebar.php, I can see a lot of code there so want to make sure I remove the correct part. I’m guessing it has something to do with this part…..

    <!– sidebar north START –>
    <div id=”northsidebar” class=”sidebar”>

    <!– feeds –>
    <div class=”widget widget_feeds”>

    down to

    <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
    should i remove everything between the bold areas?

    for my specific problem, removing RSS button, i got the exact instructions in this thread if anyone else is interested:
