plugins widgets sidebar plugin-wp-e-commerce
I’ve recently been trying to create a ‘Popular Products’ widget for for WP e-Commerce. Since there isn’t built-in functionality, I referred to Dave Mackintosh’s post here and gave it a shot.Still no success. But since there’s a shortcode, I decided to use the ‘Shortcodes in Widgets’ plugin and place the shortcode in a text widget. It works now, but the issue now is the product list appears outside the widget area, just floating in the sidebar.

php widgets sidebar
I tried to add a custom page to my WordPress template. That part is good. What I´m stuck with is a common sidebar that appears although I registered a custom sidebar for it. I am calling the sidebar…<?php get_sidebar(‘dfth’); ?>And registering sidebar (below there is default sidebars registered also)function web2feel_widgets_init() {register_sidebar( array(‘name’ => __( ‘Sidebar’, ‘web2feel’ ),’id’ => ‘sidebar-1′,’before_widget’ => ‘<aside id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,’

widgets javascript text
Wordpress has a Text Widget (at least the theme I’m using does, and I think they all do?)In this widget I can add text or HTML. If I add HTML I can include JavaScript. This works fine (I’m hosting my own site).I want to add some text to the Widget using a script. However;document.write(“Whatever”)writes the text onto the actual web page.What command do I use to write text into the Text Widget only.Many thanks for any help!

widgets sidebar
This question already has an answer here:Hooking Into Widget Output Loop2 answersI can’t provide you with any code since I not really know where to start.I like to add some programmatically created widgets (or just html) after the 1st Widget inside my sidebar. Right now I have it that I have to include this widgets before all others, that was pretty easy of course.

I’m developing a WordPress widget following Dave Clements tutorial. It works well. Now I want to add some styles to it. I want the styles to be in an extra css file which will be loaded during runtime. I’m calling this functionfunction myprefix_add_my_stylesheet() {wp_register_style( ‘myprefix-style’, plugins_url(‘mystyle.css’, __FILE__) );wp_enqueue_style( ‘myprefix-style’ ); }right before (see Dave’s tutorial) “// Widget output //” using the following statement.add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’

webapp-rec email api widgets
we’re just doing to some research into email inviters. We currently use Plaxo. It’s a simple system that allows people to select contacts from their Email Address Book and then allows them to send invites via our system to their friends.It looks like their website has changed, however, and I was wondering if they no longer publicly offer this service. If not, does any other company offer a similar service for free?Thanks.

Please read the whole question before assuming this question is repeated. After one day of trying plugins and tutorials, I am convinced that there is no straightforward method of achieving what I am trying.Basically I am building a site that has different components: Blog, News and Gallery, they are all items in the menu. I am trying to have different archive widgets for all of them. So, when I go to News I can see my Archive Widget that just organizes information for News. The same for Blog or

The help information for the “OAuth Domain” setting says:For the purposes of redirection, subdomains are considered to be under their parent domain. Registering example.com would allow a redirect_uri of foo.example.com for example.However, subdomains are not being accepted for me. Instead, I get “An error occurred while login into an application.” with the description:unexpected domain on proxy urlIn my case, my “OAuth Domain” is set to mattlunn.me.uk, but I’m trying to use mattlunn.dev.mattlunn

programming-practices bug software complexity
I am talking about 20-30+ millions lines of code, software at the scale and complexity of Autodesk Maya for example.If you freeze the development as long as it needs to be, can you actually fix all the bugs until there is simply not a single bug, if such a thing could be verified by computers? What are the arguments for and against the existence of a bug-free system?Because there is some notion that every fix you make creates more bugs, but I don’t think that’s true.EDIT: By bugs I meant from th

code-quality bug
I believe this is a little related with this question: How to be a zero-bug programmer?. But I believe this is more regarding clumsiness in programming because I know it is impossible to become a zero bug programmer. Often, I write a very buggy code caused by my own clumsiness. For example in writing a currency rate conversion function, a trivial function. I can code the function that running well given the correct value. But sometime I just forgot to validate some unexpected-but-reasonable valu

bug debugging issue-tracking exceptions exception-handling
If we refer to exceptions as bugs, why not just call it a bug in the first place instead of an exception?If in the code it’s called exception and as soon as it occurs it’s called a bug. Then why not call it a bug in the first place?Thank you for any answer or comment.

bug freelancing client-relations support work-time
So I just started freelancing both in desktop/web development and this client who already accepted my work, and payed me keeps coming back at me each time he finds a bug etc. And I have found myself spending more time than I thought fixing them for free. Is this alright, or should I start charging a support fee? Which is the best way to deal with fixes on a supposedly accepted and completed work?

I don’t know whether I can express everything here because, this looks like a strange bug. But, I can respond to comments for sure…I was involved in creating accounts. When I created my account in Christianity.SE, I logged in with Facebook accidentally. Since I won’t be alive in facebook most of the time, I tried to log-in with gmail and finally removed my facebook login. It showed 101 – indicating “association OK”…When I created my accounts in Linguistics and Bitcoin, my association was wit

bug-tracking stack-trace fogbugz fogbugz-api
We have been looking at automatically logging all unexpected client errors to our bug tracker. For reference our application is written in Java/GWT/Guice/Hibernate/Jetty and our bug tracker is the hosted version of FogBugz which can create bugs programatically or via an email.The biggest problem I see with doing this is stack traces that happen in a loop overload the bug tracker by creating thousands of cases. Does anybody have a suggested way to handle automatic bug creation like this?

It is painful to fish out things from apache error_log. Does anybody have pointers to some better error collection mechanism. Something like what is described in “Using FogBUGZ to Get Crash Reports From Users – Automatically!”, but for a PHP/apache webappMore specifically, some mechanism to hook the errors that is thrown by PHP to some bug tracking software. Maybe pointers to some library/code which captures the errors/warnings and collect the data which can be entered into the bug-tracking soft

language-agnostic process bug-tracking
In my current company there isn’t clear understanding between the test and development teams as to how severe a bug should be? There are arguments which go back and forth to reduce or to increase the severity. We are not as of now aware of any documents which lays the rules. The tester raises the bug and assigns priority based on his intuition. The developer would request a change based on his load or some other factor.How are severity/priority of bugs classified? Are there any standards which g

android forum bug-tracking
How can I accept feedback like bug reports, suggestions, and comments from my users in-app? From what I can tell, the Android platform and Play offer no solutions for issue tracking or forums.To clarify, I’m not looking for a way to submit crash reports exclusively, and I’m not looking to track user behavior. I’m looking for a way for users to report unexpected behavior, ideas for enhancements, etc.

c# email bug-tracking
I would like my program to email me a bug-report when it fails. Is there any way of doing this… safely? I have found I can use System.Net.Mail MailMessage and SmtpClient and such, but of course, I will have to provide a username and a password to it (unless someone knows of one that doesn’t need it?). And putting that in code I find a bit… I don’t know. Technically it would mean that anyone could look at the source code or the compiled IL code (or what it was called) and find that username a
Robert Harvey
bug-tracking
When planning and prioritizing what is to be included in a release, do you distinguish between bugs, feature enhancements and new features? For example, do bugs always take priority – do you fix all known bugs before working on new features? Do you use a formal system for comparing the cost vs. value of each change in your backlog? And if so, do you compare bugs and features using the same formula? Is this different for commercial software vs. open source vs. in-house corporate software?EDIT: S

I talked yesterday to an Android app developer for a few minutes and he showed me a really cool feature: automated app crash reports reported directly inside a Google spreadsheets. Basically he made the app crash on purpose using some kind of easter eggs, then went on his Google docs accounts and, sure enough, the bug report was there.From what I understood he’s basically doing an HTTP POST to some Google server (I think to recall spreadsheet.google.com or something like that) everytime an app c

I’ll be deploying a C++/DirectX/Windows game at the end of January to my customer and I’d like to setup an easy way for them to submit bug reports. Should I setup a website for this? Should I build it into the user interface of the game? Should I just have them send me an email? At a very high level, what are some ideas for an effective, and somewhat easy to implement, system I can build to allow customers to submit bug reports that describe the bug, the conditions under which it occurred, a
