[resolved] [Plugin: WP-Cumulus] Sidebar and in-page at same time? (4 posts)

    Hello everyone!
    I installed WP-Cumulus on my Sidebar and it works perfectly.
    Now I wanted to add a seperate page, so that my visitors can browse the Tags more easily if looking for something specific.
    So I wanted to use shortcodes to insert WP-Cumulus into a page and I used this shortcode:
    [wp-cumulus width="500" height="300" tcolor="ff0000" tcolor2="ff0000" trans="true"]
    This should give me a Cumulus which is 500px in width, 300 in height, has red tags and a transparent background.
    Now, as soon as I open the page the following happens:
    Sometimes I can see the cloud as describes for about half a second. Then it uses it's default style again and stays like that.
    At the same time the sidebar-plugin won't work. It just displays that FlashPlayer is required - which is installed, as the cloud on the page works!

    Any ideas on that?

    My Blog is: http://blog.sallge.com
    And the problematic page is http://blog.sallge.com/?page_id=414
    The problem exists in Firefox 3.0.8 as well as IE7.

    Edit:
    My blog passes the W3C-XHTML 1.0 Validation.
    But this specific page with the "double-cloud" doesn't.
    The error is: id already exists. The WP-Cumulus generates a div with the very same ID as the one in the sidebar.
    So, now I know why this doesn't work. But how do I fix that?

    Edit2:
    Yes, it works if I don't use <?php wp_cumulus_insert(); ?> on my sidebar.php file but insert it as a widget instead. But, unfortunately, the Widget-support of the theme I use is rather poor. If I enable only one Widget, I loose all other components of my Sidebar.

    Thanks in advance!

    Okay, I fixed my own problem by widgetizing my whole sidebar.
    Now the cumulus runs as widget and therefore can't interfere with my page-cumulus anymore.
