   Hi Arnold!

   How do I add the Pages Widget to my Sidebar? What kind of code do I have to insert in the sidebar.php?

   Cheers
   Chris

   Hi Chris,

   Install instructions for my widget are in the post above.
   To insert the Pages Widget in your sidebar, you do not need to add any code to your sidebar, it makes the code you want for you. That is the fun part with those things
   Just upload the widget to your widget folder and activate the widget in your dashboard.
   After that you go in your dashboard to “Presentation” –> “Sidebar Widgets”, setup your widget(s) and see the magic.

   If you do not have a widget folder in you /wp-content/plugins folder (or a widget.php in that folder) go to automattic.com, where you can get it.

   If you do have the widget folder and widget.php and also uploaded and activated my widget but it still doesn’t work, check if you have a code like (without the space between the first < and the ?)

   < ?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else : ?>

   in your wp-content/themes/{your_theme}/sidebar.php (open it with a texteditor not word), to make your sidebar.php widget ready. You can also download themes that are widget ready by default, if you can’t work it out.

   Thanks a lot for your detailed instructions, Arnold! I have now implemented your widget and it is exactly what I needed! Great work.
   Unfortunately, IE 6 breaks my design when the link text of one of the sidebar links is too long. It also puts bullets in front of the link menu headers (h2). I have no clue why the line-break which worked fine before doesn’t work with the sidebar widget. Problem is with IE 6.0.2 Any ideas?

   Hi Chris,

   Your problems have to do with your design (CSS), not the widget.

   You could even set and change a couple of parameter in my widget for this, but you might not solve your problem completally. In your case I would go to your stylesheet of your theme (style.css mostly) and go to the the id’s and classes that you use for your sidebar.
   Also check the css for other parts, mainly the style for your lists.
   The id’s and classes I use for my widget are: for id “breukies-pages-{number_of_breukiespageswidget}” and for the class “widget widget_breukiespages”
   Setting only the widget class the way you want it (wich works for every good widget) should be enough, depending on your stylesheet. You are furthermore using the class “page_item” for your lists (the < ul > and < li >).
   The first part of this post should do it allready, but setting all the others correctly would help too, at least the page_item and your sidebar styles
   Check it all, but also remember that with lists for example, Firefox has CSS options that do not work in IE and the other way around. You can check codes for that at almost any CSS help website.

    Hi Arnold!

    I really love the widgets. A suggestion for the Pages one… could you perhaps have an “include” page field, as I usually want to break down the multiple instances into a few pages, so specifying the ones I WANT would make more sense.

    Any response to that?

    Dank u wel!

    Hey, great stuff. Except I’m having one problem. The “Child Of” attribute does not seem to work for me.. it displays all the pages, although from my understanding, if I put in “19″ in teh childof attr, it should only display pages that are subpages of 19.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hey there. Awesome plugin . have been using this one for a while now3 and works beautifully for controlled navigation on a site. Doesn’t work with wp 2.2.1 as yet though. You are probably aware of that but just wondering if you could send me a quick email when you get this one compatible. Thanks again. Herr

    Hi:

    I have been trying to get your pages widget to work in the way I want for several hours now. I admit I’m a novice at programming, but I have gone to the wp list pages website to try to figure things out I haven’t been able to. You see, I too use the Page Link Manager plug-in so that my top menu (like yours) only includes certain pages. What I would like to be able to do, however, is also include one of your page widgets to list all of the pages in a hierarchical and indented fashion (as you also do on your blog under “Navigate.” No amount of fooling around with the code has made this work for me. If you have some time, can you help? I would really appreciate it. My blog is found at http://onethingiknow.net. Thanks

    I installed the Pages Widget, activated it and placed it in my widgets. It displays OK except that none of the options are updated, no matter what I use. I can’t sort differently, change the title_li or do anything else. The variables simply aren’t being read.
    I noticed your instructions said to put the php file in plugins/widgets, but I don’t have that folder structure in 2.2.1… is that necessary since widgets are now built-in?

    Thanks!

    I’m having troubles getting the arguments to work in this pages widget since 2.2.1 and it’s driving me mad.

    It worked so perfectly before!

    Thanks for checking into it!

    Hello Breukie!
    I have WP 2.2.1 DE. After installing your PageWidget, I have two new pages widgets on my site - http://www.andreas-bender.de/wordp/ - thats ok… so long.
    But in the options of your PageWidgets at Sidebar-Arrangement I can change anything without any effect on my site.
    I have installed your LinkWidgets too and the same problems.
    I know, you have only tested with WP 2.1, but maybe an other user have the thame problems.
    regards
    Andreas

    Hi, I can’t get the exclude pages option to work. I put a list of pages in the textbox separated by commas, ie: 3,7,9 but it doesn’t work.

    What’s the proper syntax for that option?

    report:

    using WP2.0.11 and it works well, only that it doesn’t exclude any other pages. every other page shows the sidebar when i just want to show the sub-pages related to the same page ONLY. hmmm.

    I’m having difficulty with the ‘exclude page’ feature of the sidebar widget. I wan’t the following page left off the menu. http://www.mywebsite.com/?page_id=34

    What should I type in to the field in the popup? I’ve tried and tried different options.

    Do you have an plans on fixing your plugins? I run them on many of my sites, but I’ve had to downgrade to Pages 2.2, Links 2.4, and Categories 2.0 in order to have them run properly with 2.2.1 and above.

    If I have quick question:

    How do I display links in one part of the nav bar (widget) and not in the other?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I installed the widget, no problem. I understand that I can use it more than once on the sidebar. (I want one for Pages, another for Articles). I see how to name the widget, but I don’t understand how to use it multiple times. Your instructions would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    There is an issue with using the plugin with WP2.5. None of the custom parameters have any effect on the output. I tracked this down to the $number argument in function widget_breukiespages($args, $number = 1) being assigned no value. If I insert the line $number = 1 at the beginning of the function, the problem is solved. However, I can only use one single instance of the widget in my theme.
