Watching this – I’ve had the same issue.

I just downloaded & installed, and I’m seeing something almost identical:

Fatal error: Cannot access self:: when no class scope is active in {site url}/wp-content/plugins/explanatory-dictionary/views/admin-add.php on line 21

This seems to happen only on “add”, and I’ve only seen it happen when I define one or more synonyms for a term. Following the error, I’ve seen no subsequent issues, so I don’t consider this a big issue, but it would be nice to see it addressed.

Aha. Well, in this case, I believe the problem was simply that I didn’t make enough list items. When I added list items 6-10, they wrap just fine. The box model on the callout style includes enough bottom margin to set it apart from the surrounding page — you can change that in the settings page.

Can you visit the test page again and see if this is behaving the way you want?

Thanks.

I tried to replicate the problem you’re seeing, and I’m not seeing a wrapping problem. Here’s the test post I created – is this what you’re trying to do?

Is there something about your theme’s styles that might be causing this problem? If you have a link that’s exhibiting this behavior, I’d be happy to take a look at it.

I just updated the plugin to address the issue w/ line breaks in the callout body. These were causing the regex to not match properly, so I changed the regex.

The positioning of the callout can be changed by updating the style in the “insert callout” settings page. The default style uses “float:left” in the style for the callout frame – you can play with this to change how callouts are positioned in your application.

I’ve been asked about doing something to make style (including positioning) flexible enough to let callouts use one of several styles (ie, callout-style-1, callout-style-2, etc.). I’d consider doing this, provided that (1) I can figure out how to do this effectively, and (2) it doesn’t make the plugin more difficult for “entry level” publishers.

Thanks for the heads-up. I took a quick look, and I believe the regular expression is failing to match callouts with breaks. I’ll see if I can get the match working for those.

Fixed in 1.0.3.

Thanks, gthiruva – I got the first one done in 1.0.3.

Per your suggestion for multiple styles, would you see this as a modifier on the callout? Maybe a syntax like this?

[callout style=SeeAlso title=My Callout]….

I’d have to figure out how to manage multiple styles in settings, but there’s got to be a decent way to do this.

Thanks for the input!

I believe this is fixed w/ version 1.0.2. If you have a chance, can you upgrade and let me know if this addresses the problem?

FYI, I’m working on a plugin to do something like this. See https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/insert-callout/
