Hello,

Questions regarding your widgets.

1.) When I add a widget to a sidebar, it gets removed from the widget panel. I have more than one sidebar, but the widget is no longer available. None of my other widgets behave in this manor. Is this a planned code response in your programming?

2.) I have a widget that adds options to ALL widgets, that allows me to place certain widgets on specified posts/pages. This widget uses hooks to integrate with ALL widgets. Your widget refuses to allow the integration. Is this by design, or your programming architectural? Are you not using any standard forms of an Extended WP_Widget Class?

Please advise,
Robert

We use WordPress shortcodes. Simply add a standard Text widget and use a shopping cart shortcode that you like (we have a few). List of shortcodes are explained here:

Hi Admin,

This sounds like a workable option. I'll give it a try.

Thank You,
Robert

Admin,

I tried your suggestion of using shortcode in a widget, and it works fine.

Now I have to figure out why it dropped all my images.

"Free download form in the sidebar as a widget php" see http://karunaflame.com/karunaflame/free/

I tried to install the php version as a widget, it installs OK in my sidebar. However I cannot style it as when I look in the ‘wp_eStore_style.css’ I cannot find any code like
.free_download_form I even added this to the stylesheet as quoted above but it did not make any difference. I basically want to make the input boxes a little narrower in width so it will sit OK with my sidebar width at the moment. Thanks!!

I initially posted this on http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-make-a-squeeze-page-using-the-wordpress-estore-plugin-126 not sure if that was correct place but am posting here again. My version is v 6.6.3. I followed instructions on page 126 but alas could not find .free_download_form in any of the css documents.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
If you want to style your widget, use firebug to determine which parameters to set and then put your CSS code in the wp_eStore_custom_style.css file.
See this for more about using firebug:

I've just looked at your page with firebug and from what I saw you could enter this code to shorten the width of your input boxes:

.execphpwidget .free_download_form_old .eStore_text_input{ width: 200px !important; }

The above will affect only the input forms you currently have in your sidebar.

.execphpwidget .free_download_form_old .eStore_text_input{
width: 200px !important;
}

Just added above to wp-cart-for-digital-products/wp_eStore_custom_style.css

and it is exactly what I was looking for

Many thanks
Michael
