“the alt text doesn’t show”

Wht browser are you using?

Hi issieparis

Yes its possible.

Go to “presentation” then on your widgets admin just add the “text” widget to your desired sidebar.

Then on the “text” widget paste the following line of code:

<a href="https://myURLtobeLinked" title="myURL yada yda"><img src="yourimagepath/yourimg.jpg" alt="my image description" width="the widht" height="the height" /></a>

– Of course replace:
myURLtobeLinked, yourimagepath/yourimg.jpg, my image description, the widht, the height, myURL yada yda
– By the proper values.

In fact to be 100% correct you should define a new class in your CSS with that height and width, and assign it to this image instead of inline-styling-it.

Why don’t you use one of the available Ajax frameworks to do that job? With JQuery for instance you should have that menu and a lot more tunning in less then 5 minutes.

Just google it. i just did and suggest this one: https://www.ajaxline.com/10-best-jquery-menu-plugins Sorry for blogspamming but this will sure help this case.

Yes it is calling the same CSS. But your problems are in the XHTML not in the CSS.

You have your menu inside a <li>, in the same <ul> as the content. And the result is, of course, it is being displayed after the previous sibling <li> witch is in fact all of your site contents.

Cut the <div id="menu"> yada yada yada </div> and paste it when the <div id="content"> yad yada yada </div> ends, just before the <!-- begin footer --> comment tag.

your error is in line 2 char 167 of your menu JS

‘Error: missing ; before statement

I’ve stopped supporting IE6 in my projects a while ago. I just add a browser-dependent message warring people to upgrade to a decent browser.

Two questions:

1. Do you have acess to your phpyAdmin?
2. The site allows new users to register?

Thanks once again esmi!

It fixed it. I was getting a dose of my own medicine!

In an previous experiment I’d replaced that line by this condition, and it was left there, forgotten and inherited trough several templates…

‘ <?php if(is_category() || is_archive()) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content();
} ?>?
And of course the condition was doing its job…

Thanks Again!

Glad to be of help ??

The most common mistake should be in the encoding (or the BOM signature) of PHP files you’ve edited, and I mean the problem is in the files, not in the PHP code.

Use a code editor like CodeGenie or another with line count (you won’t see it in Dreamweaver) and remove the 3 or 4 weird characters in the beginning of your first &%#<?PHP statement, also remove the last empty lines after your last ?> statement at the bottom of the page.

Try if this helps and let me know.

Hi Thank you both, for your help!

The plugin user-cats-mannager seemed to be what I needed, but i can’t seem to get it going, and besides it appears to hide all categories from the front end to all “unloged” users. And this cannot happen.

I tried role-scoper, and it is indeed a bit more complicated, but in the end it’s exactyly what i needed. Haven’t tested it thorougly but is seems to be it.

I run a small local community portal, where i wish to give the featured institutions the ability to edit and populate the posts in their own category, but ONLY in their own category, and this seems to do the trick!

Thanks again for your help,

Cheers!

ClaytonJames thanks for your help!!!

I haven’t tested it yet, but it seems to be exactly what I was trying to do.

In order to proceed I have another doubt that I need to clear, perhaps you could help: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/288637?replies=1

Thanks once again!

Oh my! oh my!

You are right. The “Holly Hack” was causing it.

I’m doing this childish mistakes often. Might need a vacation soon!

Once again, thanks!

MAC

Its done, somehow I’d lost the link in my brain where the info about creating alternative templates was. Now its connected again & the problem is solved in the best way.

Tks again esmi!
