I am after exactly the same feature as you my friend.

If anybody knows how to do this we would both be grateful. In the mean time I’m gonna continue working into the night…

I just tried upgrading to WordPress 2.5, no error message, just bombs out. In the widgets page, the sidebar is abruptly cut off with %BEGIN_TITLE%%END_TITLE%.

Anyone please offer any help on this???

schien,

1)
a. You will need to enable the option “Enable CSS to show expandable categories” from within the widget admin panel.
b. You will need icons for expand and collapse (these can be found on Google images quite easily).
c. Copy and paste the CSS code provided on the plugin homepage, changing the image paths to the images on your server.
d. If that still fails, send me your URL and I’ll have a look for you.

2)
Multiple instances of the widget are something I am working on, as is only showing children of the currently selected category. I hope to have these resolved in the next version released.

Thanks for using this plugin.

Kind Regards
Tim

OK, the error is being caused by:

function wp_cache_set($key, $data, $flag = '', $expire = 0) {
	global $wp_object_cache;
	$data = unserialize(serialize($data));

	return $wp_object_cache->set($key, $data, $flag, $expire);
}

from cache.php. Why serialise the data only to unserialise it immediately after? This is the line that is bombing out for me.

How do I fix it?
Thanks

I also just tried compressing the data, but still does not work. If I comment out the cal to update_option the script runs fine (apart from not saving the data… which is kind of essential).

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,
Sivar, thanks for the get_parent_category method – its just what I was looking for. I’m doing a similar thing as the_fear66 and I am using a similar block of code as given in the example, however it is much more efficient to use a switch statement:

<?php
$id = get_parent_category();
switch($id)
{
  case 10:
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/this_template.php');
    break;
  case 11:
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/that_template.php');
    break;
  // and so on
  default:
    //the default template
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/a_different_template.php');
    break;
 }
?>

Hope that helps someone.

Thanks again for the method!

Sorry to hear you have a problem with my widget. I am currently in the process of testing a new version with 2.3.3 and I have been unable to replicate your scenario.

It would be helpful if you could provide more details – php version, theme in use, windows/apache.

Do you have output buffering enabled? if so you may try disabling it as errors generated before output buffer created will stop any content being sent – thus empty source.

Do you have access to the error logs? is there anything in there that might help?

Please let me know further information.

Regards
Tim

Fixed.

I’ll give that a try.

Thanks!

Sorry about this glitch.

I’m starting to regret using recursion now, it causes far too many problems than it fixed… oh well. Many thanks for pointing it out. I have fixed the bug and will issue an update shortly (0.4.4)

Lonewolf

Please try the 0.4.2 update. This may work for you.

Thanks

Are you using PHP4 by any chance?

Just had a look around the net for that error and it seems like I have foobar’d on my xml support. It needs php5. ??

You can try editing the php.ini as described here: https://groups.google.com/group/Google-Docs-Data-APIs/browse_thread/thread/55ea356a8fbc6a4e

If that does not work, then I’ll work on different data storage.

bump?

This is becoming a problem as I cannot test apart from my live install – not good.

Is there a way to turn off the fancy drag drop interface? How do I edit the wp_options to manually change widgets?

Thanks

ditto. bringing this back up to remind everyone!

I’m not familiar with that particular theme, but there should be a line in the css similar to

`.thepost a {…}’

which may help. Of course the theme writer may not have used thepost as the div class. Have a look at the source to see the div class that your posts are contained within and go from there.
