Since SSN passes in only the option tags, Role Scoper thoughtfully gave you an extra nested select tag! I'm not sure your filter call is legitimate usage, but I'm modifying my code to support it and posted <a href="http://agapetry.net/forum/role-scoper/role-scoper-simple-sidebar-navigation/page-1/post-2115/#p2115">an RS patch</a>. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/335518#post-1293365 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:00:02 +0000 melissa_bxl 1293365@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hello! </p> <p>I have just installed "Simple Sidebar Navigation" and I loved the simplicity of it. I had no problems configuring it and adapting its CSS for this <a href="http://www.med2008.org/knowledge/">website</a>. However, on the Homepage, where I have a slideshow of featured articles, the drop-down menu shows in the background of the picture illustrating the article. What can be done? I really want to keep this plugin! </p> <p>Thnaks! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333556#post-1292410 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:13:59 +0000 jonahcoyote 1292410@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks, I noticed that. I still don't have a solution to this... Bummer because I'd really like to use your plugin. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333556#post-1291742 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:24:03 +0000 maxchirkov 1291742@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Just FYI: I'm using WP's native functions to retrieve pages and posts: get_pages() and get_posts(). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/334930#post-1291660 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:37:40 +0000 ThorHammer 1291660@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>sorry - wrong posting! Admin, please delete. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/334930#post-1291655 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:33:43 +0000 ThorHammer 1291655@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hello, and many thanks for your work! I got the plugin to work well inside my admin world, the preview is elegant, but on a live sidebar the tabs display, but the content supposed to be under them will not become visible. You can see it on the right sidebar here:<br /> <a href="http://www.winonweb.net/">http://www.winonweb.net/</a></p> <p>The content is just unordered lists formatted corectly. Actually, the links are the same as in the top menu navigation (pixopoint which also use suckerfish, suckerfish css is embedded into my site CSS, if that has something to say).</p> <p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated!</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333556#post-1288679 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:42:00 +0000 jonahcoyote 1288679@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yeah I assumed this was the case too but after setting the permissions to allow my role to be able to edit pages, they still do not display. It may still be a problem with the way I have the permissions configured but I did a fair amount of configuration wrestling to try to get it to work and still no go. I'll keep trying and/or will wait to hear back from the Role Scoper forum and will post my results here.</p> <p>Thanks and if you have any other ideas, please let me know.</p> <p>- Jonah </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333556#post-1287230 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:49:31 +0000 maxchirkov 1287230@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It might be permission base. Some one reported similar problem with permissions set by other plugins. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333556#post-1287167 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:09:23 +0000 jonahcoyote 1287167@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Nevermind, I'm using the Role Scoper plugin and the problem has something to do with it (whether it's permission based or a conflict I haven't figured out yet). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333556#post-1287116 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:17:30 +0000 jonahcoyote 1287116@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Thanks for this great plugin, unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work. When I add the widget to a sidebar area, there are no existing pages displayed and I can't figure out how to populate the list. So I cannot add anything to the widget. Am I missing something? Has anyone else noticed this problem?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Jonah</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1260144 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:32:31 +0000 maxchirkov 1260144@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi Laura,</p> <p>I just looked at your site and I don't see where you using the plugin.</p> <p>As for the code - the exact code you published here should be pasted in the header.php file of your theme. You have to identify the logical place (in the HTML code of your header) where the navigation should go, and paste the code there. The line that contains &lt;!--YOUR OLD NAVIGATION --&gt; can stay unchanged, but if you have some kind of code for your current navigation, you could place it instead of that note. This way if, at some point, you decide you turn off the Simple Sidebar Navigation plugin, your old navigation will be used instead, so you don't have to re-create it again.</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1258714 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:37:56 +0000 lauramac 1258714@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>My site is <a href="http://www.positivewordsonwater.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.positivewordsonwater.com</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1258713 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:37:09 +0000 lauramac 1258713@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>hi, I'm also having trouble getting it to work properly. I'm a total newbie too...so that doesn't help.<br /> Basically the only time I see that it works is if I actually click on the page (in the top navigation) and then once I'm there, it looks all funny, not the way it should I don't think. </p> <p>what is the exact code I'm supposed to put in the header.php file?<br /> I don't really understand these instructions:</p> <p>&lt;?php<br /> if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Simple Top Nav') ) : ?&gt;<br /> &lt;!--YOUR OLD NAVIGATION --&gt;<br /> &lt;?php<br /> endif;<br /> ?&gt;</p> <p>thanks!</p> <p>Laura </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/306060#post-1195030 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 02:37:27 +0000 maxchirkov 1195030@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Cool!

Thank you!!! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/306060#post-1194907 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:04:06 +0000 maxchirkov 1194907@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi Brian,</p> <p>yes that was a bug. I think some one already mentioned that to me, but it slipped through my fingers :)</p> <p>Anyway, I just committed an update 2.1.2, which should have this fixed. Let me know if it works for you.</p> <p>Thanks a lot! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/306060#post-1193904 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 05:16:36 +0000 BrianD 1193904@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Great plugin, having one annoying problem though. I'm using WP v2.8.4 and plugin v2.1.1. I have one link for which I need to spawn a new window. I create a custom link and set the target as blank, but the link continues to open the page in the same window - it won't spawn a new one. Tried using the default theme, no luck - also deleted &amp; recreated the link. Same behavior in IE7 and Firefox.</p> <p>Anyone ever heard of this before? Am I missing something?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1133195 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:33:59 +0000 maxchirkov 1133195@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Bruce,</p> <p>I'm glad you figured out what you were doing wrong. From your posts I understood you're still very new to WordPress. Each widget appears within your theme as a block of content. Each block has design elements with it's padding and margins. You can't simply break a block. When you added a text widget for the sakes of creating a subtitle for your navigation, it also added it's margins to it - that's the reason you have the big space. If you want to separate sections of your navigation, it would be better to create separate simple sidenav widgets and title each widget the way you need it and add only those links that you want to appear in that section.</p> <p>On the other hand, you can crate a hierarchy - you can have a Product link that leads to the main products page, and then add child links to it (they should appear indented).</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1131065 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 01:50:43 +0000 lomist 1131065@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Okay I figured out one way to put the headings in. (this is in regards to my above comment)</p> <p>I used the text widget. But now I have a big space between the heading and the actual pages. Looks something like this</p> <p>MAIN<br /> ------</p> <p>Home<br /> privacy<br /> etc,</p> <p>So how can I get rid of that blank line between the ---- and Home.</p> <p>I can't find anything to edit to remove them or I would have.</p> <p>Thanks again</p> <p>BRuce </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1131041 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 01:09:34 +0000 lomist 1131041@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thank you for your reply. It helped a lot.</p> <p>After reading through your explanations, I found out what I was doing wrong. I wasn't dragging the widgets inside the gray rectangle called SIDEBAR 1. Once I did that everything was fine.</p> <p>Now my next question</p> <p>My side bar is something like this:</p> <p>home<br /> privacy<br /> contact<br /> sitemap<br /> product 1<br /> product 2<br /> product 3</p> <p>How do I (or can I) split these up and add these headings to make it look like this:</p> <p><strong>MAIN</strong> </p> <p>home<br /> privacy<br /> contact<br /> sitemap</p> <p><strong>PRODUCTS</strong></p> <p>product 1<br /> product 2<br /> product 3</p> <p>Thanks again for your help</p> <p>Bruce </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1130435 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:25:42 +0000 maxchirkov 1130435@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi Lomist,</p> <p>sorry about your experience with the plugin. I guess "simplicity" has a biased meaning - it's like riding a bike - it's simple if you know how to do it.</p> <p>Let me address your questions:</p> <p>1. The multi-widget selector (at the bottom of the page) is available for versions 2.0.9 and earlier since they are not compatible with the WP 2.8. In WP 2.8 there is no need to create a separate multi-widget selector since the new WP version does it automatically.</p> <p>2. "Sidebar 1"? Does it say Simple Sidebar Navigation 1 or just Sidebar 1? Because if it's the last, you might be confusing widgets with the actual sidebars. You have to drag widgets inside the sidebars of your theme.</p> <p>3. Simple Top Navigation is a TOP Navigation widget. In order for it to appear, you need to make some adjustment to your header template - it's documented in the instructions for the plugin. You can read it here as well <a href="http://www.ibsteam.net/blog/web-development/simple-sidebar-navigation-plugin-wordpress" rel="nofollow">http://www.ibsteam.net/blog/web-development/simple-sidebar-navigation-plugin-wordpress</a> - (scroll down to subtitle Top Navigation Management functionality)</p> <p>4. Again, top navigation widget will not appear in the sidebar - you need to add a snippet of code into your header template for the top navigation to appear. See item 3.</p> <p>I'm using the plugin on multiple blogs of my own (including WP versions 2.7 and 2.8) and have no problems. If you still can't figure it out, I would appreciate some details:<br /> - version of your WP installation;<br /> - version of the Simple Sidebar plugin you're using;<br /> - have you upgraded from previous version of the plugin or you have a fresh install;<br /> - a screenshot of your widgets admin page would be helpful as well. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/287566#post-1129801 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:37:31 +0000 lomist 1129801@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I just downloaded the latest version of Simple Sidebar Nav.</p> <p>Everyone raves about its simplicity but I can't get it to work.</p> <p>These are my questions and problems-</p> <p>On my Widgets Page</p> <p>1. Many instructions say scroll to the bottom and set number of widgets to 5 or 10. However, I can't find this on my page anywhere --- not that it matters much!!</p> <p>2. On the right side of my Widgets page it has a grey rectangular box labeled "SIDEBAR 1". I can't get rid of this no matter what I do. Can't even move it back off the right side of the page to the deactivated area.</p> <p>3. Then I have a grey box saying SIMPLE TOP NAVIGATION. This has a drop down menu which takes me to the SSN menu. I edited it to show only CONTACT PAGE and PRIVACY POLICY.</p> <p>BUT when I go to view page, it doesn't have these two pages. It has SEARCH IT and RECENT ENTRIES. It (the SSN) just doesn't seem to be taking effect.</p> <p>4. I even edited the sidebar.php to remove the RECENT ENTRIES and SEARCH BAR, and then nothing shows up in the Sidebar - not even the PRIVACY PAGE or CONTACT PAGE.</p> <p>So something somewhere must be blocking its use.</p> <p>I am at a loss, Can you please offer any suggestions?</p> <p>Thank you for your help.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-sidebar-navigation/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264307#post-1057438 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:26:50 +0000 maxchirkov 1057438@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>There is only 1 widget is available by default - if you use it, it shouldn't be available any more. To add more widgets, scroll down the widget page and add as many as you need. BTW, number of available widgets in the selection list will grow by 5 or 10 (not sure) every time you're close to run out of them.</p> <p>I'm not clearly following your situation. If you don't mind me taking a look at your backend, you can set up a temporary password for me and let me take a peak - may be I'll be able to figure it out for you. If you're ok with that - email me directory at editor at ibsteam.net (substitute the ' at ' with the @). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264307#post-1053280 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:54:23 +0000 MountainStream 1053280@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>By the way, I have your latest version 2.0.9 which I believe got updated today or yesterday. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264307#post-1053276 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:51:22 +0000 MountainStream 1053276@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Oh sorry. I misunderstood your instructions. I activated the default WordPress theme. I went to the 'Appearance/Widgets' page. The widget for Simple Sidebar Navigation 1. Is grayed out and no Add button is available.</p> <p>Please bare with me. I am new to everything WordPress. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264307#post-1053267 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:36:46 +0000 maxchirkov 1053267@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>You didn't have to change your settings, all I wanted to see if you can switch back to the WordPress Default Theme from the Appearance=&gt;Themes section, and see if the widgets appear under that theme. I'm not familiar with the Tarski theme... do you get any error messages when you're trying to use the Simple SideNav plugin? I can try the Tarski theme on my test server to see if it works, but the first right thing to do, would be to check if the plugin works on your site with the Default theme. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264307#post-1053256 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:28:47 +0000 MountainStream 1053256@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Well I went back to everything default for the template. I had removed the menu from the main side bar and now I can't put the menu back in the main side bar. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264307#post-1053224 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:56:01 +0000 maxchirkov 1053224@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Try switching back to the Default theme and see if the widgets appear normally there. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264307#post-1053125 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:24:04 +0000 MountainStream 1053125@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I am trying to use Tarski theme with your navigation in the sidebar, but the navigation is only showing up on the homepage.
