was supposed to say “Im not sure if im posting this in the right place. I cant even cut and paste right!

That is super vangrog.

As soon as i installed that patched version it fixed both my problems. The tooltips started working again and it now lets me add events in IE.

Hope you have a great Christmas, if you celebrate it that is!

Cheers,

Shane

I can show you how to make the shadow.png aswell.
I make mine in photoshop.
It would probably be easier to talk to you about all the above on msn so if you do want some help feel free to add me.

hi mike,

sorry didnt get back to you sooner. I havent checked this for awhile. Been busy getting ready to go away for the holidays.
Dont know if you still need help or not but here goes.

What i normally do is this.

The wrapper starts in the header but ends in the footer file.
So it would be like this

Header file:
In the header file you would have the divs starting in here.
<div id”shadow”>
<div id=”wrapper”>

then you would close them in your footer.

</div> <!——–end wrapper——>
</div> <!——–end shadow——>

What kind of shadow did you want to add to your theme?
If you can send me a link to your website or maybe send me your theme zipped up i could add a shadow for you.

Hi Snackmaster,

That problem can be fixed fairly easy.
Go into your plugins folder and go to the events calendar plugin.

Open the file ec_js_class.php

and change this line (think its line 309)
jQuery(“img”).attr(“src”, arguments[i]);

to

jQuery(“.events-calendar img”).attr(“src”, arguments[i]);

That should fix the problem and your images will no longer be loading gifs.

Im trying to figure out how to fix a few bugs with the 6.6 version.
I wondered if you had had any problems with the older version you have been using?

I upgraded to the 2.9 version of wordpress and the tooltips stopped working on the calendar in the 6.6 version.

I also found, and this was even before upgrading to wordpress 2.9 that the 6.6 version wont let me add events in IE. It works in Firefox and safari but not IE. I havent found a fix for this either.

This calendar has been the best one i have found but these bugs are a proper pain in the butt!

Hi Mike,

Im not an expert but i can try and help you.

First create your shadow in something like photoshop making it 10-15 pixels bigger each side of my wrapper.

Then what i normally do is to put a div around the wrapper and name it shadow. So it would be

<div id”shadow”>
<div id=”wrapper”>

Im just putting a shadow on the site im working on at the moment and the wrapper was contained in the header and i closed the divs off in the footer.

So in the footer at the end i had

</div><!– End wrapper–>
</div>>!–End Shadow–>
</body>
</html>

Then go into your style and create the id #shadow. Set the width of this to be able 10-15 pixels each size bigger then your container.
So if your container/wrapper was 700 pixels then it would be either 720 or 730 in width. As your theme is centered you might have to make sure the margins are set to auto left and right depending on how your wrapper is setup.

This is the example of my css for my shadow

#shadow{
width: 1008px;
background-image: url(images/shadow.png);
background-repeat: repeat y;

margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}

You also might find that the shadow doesnt wrap around the wrapper.
If that happens you add this line before you close the wrapper in the footer.

<div class=”spacer”> </div>

and add this to your css

.spacer {
clear: both !important;
}

As i said im not an expert but that hows i normally do it.

ok my English was sh*te in that last post.

Here goes again.

You put your css inside your plugin folder in the simple side bar navigation, as you can see when he gave the link to the style sheet it inside there. Call it whatever you want.
Then you go into the back end of wordpresss and make sure the simple sidebar plugin is activated.

Then go to settings, still inside the back admin area and Go to simple SideNav and then you can specify the style sheet there.

Dont ask me what you do next though as i havent got that far.

If you get one working let me know. As i said i have been trying to figure this out for days.

Hi Missmacphisto.

I was coming on here to ask the same question then i kind of answered it for myself.

You put your css inside your plugin folder in the simple side bar navigation missmacphisto as you can see when he gave the link to the style sheet it inside there. Call it whatever you want. Then you go into the back end of wordpresss and make sure the simple sidebar is plugin is activated. Then go to settings, its also in the back end down the bottom on the left. Go to simple SideNav and you specify the style sheet there.

I have been trying to create a simple vertical flyout menu for about a week now and all i have is achieved for my trouble is a headache but i think thats how its done so now im hoping to put what i just figured out into action.

Let me know how you get on ??
