a-kyle, if you’ve enabled AsideShip in AsideShop settings page, set up your template correctly and assigned the template to the category then AsideShop should work out of the box (both WordPress 3.0 and AsideShop 1.2).

Please file your issues in AsideShop support forum in case you have troubles.

jaldesai,

Your settings seem to be pretty standard which means problem is somether else. It’s hard to reproduce your problem as many, many things can interfere with AsideShop – from other plugins to themes.

My suggestions are following:

1. Try AsideShop with Kubrick, see if problem persists. If not, theme is to blame.

2. Try disabling modules which might alter The Loop, in other words, those plugins which alter the way posts are displayed.

It is always better if you have local version of your blog or you can easily create one. It helps with solving problems.

I’m sorry I can’t give you precise answers, just clues.

Cheers

@chris, thanks for your input and the code.

@josemariamv, glad it works for you now.

Cheers

@chris McLaren,

First of all, my gratitude for providing your patch to AsideShop which made it work on WordPress 2.8 and 2.9. You will certainly be credited for your work.

I looked through your version and I found an amazing the_post hook which actually made me headaches before. WP_Query_Asideshop was a workaround just because the_post hook was not available.

I tested your version of the plugin and I got double posts in category and tag pages because asideshop_the_post was missing a validation by asideshop_is_displayable (which tells whether show asides on category and tags pages).

Now, I’ve played a little around and implemented your solution with some backwards compatibility which will please everybody who use WordPress starting from 2.2. I will remove this compatibility soon as code becomes just too bloated with version checking, and nobody is using WP 2.5 anymore, right?

Chris, I’m not sure whether you live on the edge, but may I ask you to check out a trunk version of AsideShop and give it a try. I myself tested it in WP 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 and all aside formatting works fine. I just need confirmation it works in the wild. If it does, AsideShop 1.1 will be released immediately.

You can check latest trunk here: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/asideshop/trunk/ or download it as a zip file here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/asideshop/download/ (Development Version)

Cheers, let me know how it works for you.

zoecorkhill, dnorman, patrix, LincolnAdams,

Thanks for feedback on this. I do not have a blog myself and I’m not using WordPress on a regular basis either so my incentive creating this plugin was out of the blue.

I will try to look into this but I can’t guarantee that it’s going to happen tomorrow. Curently I’m pretty busy. If you can provide a patch which fixes 2.8 compatibility issues, I’m willing to release new version in a day.

enlewof,

The best way it can be done without cluttering the AsideShop itself is implement a variable which says AsideShop not to parse its templates. In this case one would need to edit the theme file (index.php) itself and place a variable in it.

Will add it in the next version of AsideShop.

Cheers

danceadvantage,

Indeed, if your pages are in the same category where your asides reside, they will also be parsed by AsideShop. I will add an option to switch parsing of pages on and off. Stay tuned.

Jawker,

AsideShop displays your templates just the way you’ve written them and parses the tags accordingly to their content. So <hr> tag is certainly displayed but make sure your stylesheet does not hide it in some way.

The best way is to check the rendered HTML code of your weblog page or disable styles in your browser (if your browser is capable of that).

Cheers
