There is this ther guy that made a plugin based on mine to add tabs to the side bar. Looks nice.. its here:

I had the same problem and found a wierd solution.

My templates wont work, but the templates of the default theme would.

I realized that if I copied the lines:
/*
Template Name: any name
*/

from the default theme to my theme, it would work! Although mine was written in exactly the same way!

I dont know why, maybe some invisible character, but this way I got my page template to work…

Hi guys,

just relesead a new version!

many fixes, improved CSS and new features.

You can see the new features in this announcement: https://weblogtoolscollection.com/pluginblog/

Ive put a lot of though on the permalink issue..

First I tried the #target style of tabs, but it does not work with ie6…

My decision was to make this an option, wether the user wants to use only hide-show divs or to have a permalink for each tab.

The plugin also sets a cookie now that (if you are not using a permalink) remembers wich tab was opened when you reload the page.

well. please give it a try. Im waiting the feedback of everyone on these new features… Im wondering if the options page is to confusing now.. specially because of my english. If anyone can help with that, I apreciate..

cheers

Leo,,

ok.. almost there, but I still dont have the full picture in mind because:

. I dont want the whole page to reload when you click on a tab. I like it the way it is, hiding and displaying divs.
.. by the way, the next feature Im planning is to detect if there are any images inside a hidden tab and pre-load it.

The permalink should be a option so one can bookmark a page with a tab opened or send by email… publish it somewhere, etc…

So my questino now is not how to make it work. But how to present it to the user… where exactly he/she would pick this link up to send to someone…?

still thinking

dar3devil,

Im thinking about it.. but it has 2 issues…

one is that people use different kinds of permalink..

other is when you are not ina single page, but in a archive.. and you may have more than one post with tabs appearing on the page…

The nice thing I want (suggestion of a user) is the ability yo have a perma link for a post with an specific tab opened.

thinking about it

Hi guys,

Just released a new improved version of the plugin. Now the css is much better.

I hope this version works better with all themes and browsers.

Ive also improved the Options Page, with a color picker and a preview of the tabs…

check it out and enjoy

Changelog
* improved css stylesheet for better cross-browser cross-themes compatibility
* now you can change also the line color
* improved admin interface with color picker and preview

cheers

Its saying that there is no table in the database with that name. And, indeed, there is not. Again, have you ever had a look to your database? its good…

The name of the table usually is is wp_term_relationships.

but the prefix “wp_” may change.. if you want to have it in a nice way;

call the $wpdb variable

global $wpdb;

and do the query like this:

$query = “Select * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=’post’ AND post_status=’publish’ AND ID IN (SELECT object_id FROM $wpdb->term_relationships WHERE term_taxonomy_id = $category_id) ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 3”;

hi cinematic,

send me your verion so I can have a look

my username at gmail

cheers

Leo,,

Thanks for the feedback

I still think it could be improved in what html/css is concerned… For instance, I had to remove the “clear:both” entries of the css to use it in a site im working…

besides, sometimes the linehight gets a little different, and its still looking different in ie…

if any of you guys feel that you can improve this, please do

cheers

Leo,,

Vikki,

the latest version of the plugin can also be used with a template tag, wich solves your problem.. check the instructions..

cheers

Leo,,

he only way I found to solve this was creating a folder inseide tags with the stable version of the plugin and also upload it there…

Now every time I update the plugin I have to make changes to 2 directorys.. really annoying..

Leo,,

You should have checked the database and your query

. its not term_id, but term_taxonomy_id

. a “=” was missing

. a lowecase id was at the end of it where it should be uppercase

$query = “Select * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=’post’ AND post_status=’publish’ AND ID IN (SELECT object_id FROM term_relationships WHERE term_taxonomy_id = $category_id) ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 3”;

hi enrico,

you are not the first person to report this behavior… but I can not reproduce it here.. it works just fine for me with wordpress 2.5 or 2.5.1 …

maybe We need some more investigation on this… can you give a more detailed step by step of what youve done?

Leo,,

the category of a post is stored in term_relationships table. You will have to make something like:

SELECT * from wp_posts WHERE ID IN (SELECT object_id FROM term_relationships WHERE term_id $category_id)

Leo,,
