King Widget Framework

Worpdrpess Widgets king frameworkThe King Widget Framework contains a bunch of files and libraries on which all of the King Widgets depend.  Without those files none of the King Widgets will work! The Framework resides in the /plugins/king-includes/ – Folder.
I decided to  put often used functionality into those files, to make developing and maintaining widgets smoother.

Those of you that are already using my King widgets might askes themselves why to upgrade .. well i implemented a better AJAX foldable Admin Menu, made some css improvements and cleaned up the folder structure.

Check out this little screencast (sorry for the format was just a fast shot):

 new_ajax_menu_1.wmv (283.75 KB )

The Framework includes:

  • one Language file for all King Widgets (currently only german)
  • CSS Styles for widgets
  • JS used in Widgets
  • Images for Adminarea
  • php libraries for Forms and Admin Head includes

Since those are a a couple of files, it is kinda hard to give the framework an overall numbering scheme. Therefore I´ll keep track of the changes in a changelog.txt file and go by date. The php and css files aditionally have an internal version numbering.

For future changes I´ll always put up the whole framework (Folder king-includes) so you can simply replace your existing files with that. 
Yes i know i need a public SVN .. we are working on that and some more changes to make our wordpress plugins, themes and widgets easier available.

Changelog

Version 0.70 – 03.09.06

- new function to have a comma separated list in the "where ot show on sitearea "

- updated language file 

02.07.2006 

- Framework now has version numbering + remote version check with a  Plugininterface to accomplish that
– added a switch in the framework plugin options to enable javascript includes for the new sliding widgets feature
– minor bugfixes + language strings

- Experimental!
added functions to have a widgets options dump for easy transfer of set options. The King Login Wdget is right now the first to test this functionality. Other widget will follow when it proves itself stable

Inside the folder there is also a changelog file


Install

Place the folder in the zip -> "king-includes" into Wordpress Plugins folder -> wp-content/plugins/

Activate the Framework in Adminarea. The Activation is mainly to have a remote version check. With the time there will  more options added to it.

Known issues 

CSS Background Images in Widgets Admin are not shown.

If you have your Wordpress installation inside a subfolder on your webspace e.g. ww.mySuperSite/wordpress/ you need to adopt the background image pathes in the CSS-Style Sheet. Those background images give your widget headers and the king widget menus a nicer look.

Look for those lines in king-includes/css/king_widget.css  

background:url(/wp-content/plugins/…gif)

append your install sub directory in front of the line:

background:url(/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/…gif)

 

Internet Explorer shows all Menu´s open

I tried 4 hours to get by a ie bug and have not found a decent solution yet. If you are still using IE,  well … that´s your problem, you will not be able to see those nice sliding menu´s. The bug shut the widgets admin menu´s  directly after you opened them.

Please get yourself a descent browser:

 

The good News … I implemented a css style hack so that you can still set all King Widget Options and therefore use all King Widgets. All Menu Options of the widget are initally expanded.
Hopefully one of our CSS Freakz can give me a hand with this, or maybe you find a solution!

You are already using some King Widgets

Replace the king-includes folder with the new one. Grab yourself the new Version of the King widget you are using.

    hallo!
    ich verwende bereits die widgets text und categories.
    jetzt wollte ich calender und links hinzufügen, jedoch kommt nach dem aktiveren der plugins immer nur eine leere, weiße seite. auch beim aufruf von wordpress wird dann nur eine leere seite dargestellt.

    blog läuft wieder, ist ja recht einfach (plugin löschen).
    eine idee woran es liegen könnte bzw. was ich falsch gemacht haben könnte?
    ich verwende wp 2.0.2 mit dem standard_de_theme

    danke!

    p.s.(bin bis 6.6 im urlaub)

  • 4.

    Ich habe das selbe wie heo. Benutze King-Text 0.63 und Framework 0.85. King-Text funktioniert wird nicht angezeigt im Pluginmenue, wenn ich die Berechtigung des phps nicht auf RW/R/R setze. Setze ich es aber auf RQ/R/R bekomme ich nur noch Weiß.

    Gefixt. Alle Dateien des Frameworks müssen RW/R/R sein.
    Also zusätzlich musste ich die Dateien und evt. Ordner für Gruppe/Andere LESBAR setzen.

  • 6.

    When ever I use one of the new widgest the entire widget mechanism goes crazy. The main thing is that I can’t get into the config menu of any widget, even non-King widgets.

    Any idea why that might happen?

  • 7.

    You are missing the Javascripts required for the AJAX Stuff!

  • 8.

    that sounds right, but I do have the js directory under wp-content/plugins/king-includes/

    looking at the source of the Widgets control panel, I see that it directs to the correct place and finds the .js files

  • 9.

    I did not meant my js lib but the one provided with the widgets plugin

  • 10.

    the widgets plugin’s README says it should be in /wp-content/plugins/widgets/scriptaculous

    And that’s where I have it. Where do you put it?

  • 11.

    I am unable to install the king-includes properly. It simply does not show in the admin area under plugins as an option to activate. I there for am unable to get the king-categories widget to show up in my sidebar. Please can you help me.

  • 12.

    Ok, I managed to get it working. Found a missing file in my pack. Dont know why that was but it was missing. Its all good now.

    Thanks

    Hi

    This plugin looks useful but I wanted to ask a couple of questions before I download and start using it.

    Firstly is it in English please and if not will it be understandable!?

    Secondly I want to actually use it to place specific posts in specific places in the theme. A bit like this:
    http://guff.szub.net/2005/01/27/get-a-post/
    Will it do that please?

    Many thanks

    Rich

  • 14.

    @richard:
    1. yes everything is i english (if you understand everything depends on your wp and html knowledge)
    2. depends on the widget you want to use. (you could achive this with the text widget f.ex.)
    Here you are just having the framework which supplies basic functions for all widgets

  • 15.

    When will king pages be ready??
    Need it really bad.

  • 17.

    I tried to install and I get the following error in WP 2.0.3
    Warning: widget_king_links_register(widgets.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/particle/public_html/wp-content/plugins/king-links.php on line 519

  • 18.

    !!!!!!!!You are missing the widgets.php!!!!!!!
    READ the install instructions.

  • 19.

    For some reason I have not been able to identify, whenever I install this plugin (the whole king-includes folder) in /wp-content/plugins/ and try to activate it afterwards, it loads me a blank page with this URL:

    http://myblogdomain/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true

    It happens both with IE and Firefox latest versions.

    I tried to restart my session with WP and at some point after many times I could see finally the plugins adminstration page, so I ended up thinking it was finally ok, and tried to install the Kins RSS plugin which is the one I would really like to install. I had no problems installing it, but when activating it again the problems arose. It gave me a memory_limit problem, so I am awaiting for the server admin to change it frmo 8 to 32.

    Meanwhile I tried to work with other plugins but I had to end up by deleting both of them, otherwise it wasn’t letting me even see the admin pages.

    Do you know what’s wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

  • 20.

    to break it down a little further you can try to NOT activate the king framework. since this is only needed for version checking of the framework and a little javascript helper wich is not used by king rss. Of course you still need the king-includes folder.
    Then activate the King RSS.

    I´m kindof surprised because the “framework plugin” you see in the plugin area is actually pretty slim and does not have much functions (like stated above). If your problem is gone let me know so i can fix a problem if it came from the framework plugin.

    Hi,
    ich bekomme auf der Seite immer einen Fehler von moo.fx.js – nämliche “this.el has no properties”.
    Sowohl im ie als auch im firefox.
    hat jemand einen Tip, wie ich das abstellen kann ?
    tia

  • 22.

    @alobar:
    im backoffice oder Frontend?
    Ich nehme mal an im Frontend:
    1. Lösung
    du stellst im adminbereich den schalter für das aufklapp js aus. dann wird moo fx nicht mehr im head eingebunden.
    2. du willst die aufklappfunktionen(z.B. von king Login) benutzen.
    die install anleitung checken und die richtigen elemente der Box mit ner id sowie den onclick versehen.

    Hallo,
    ich würde gerne Deine Widgets einsetzen, habe aber leider ein paar Probleme (WP 2.0.4, Theme Binary Blue 1.4.0, aktuelle widgets.php installiert) :
    ohne King-Widgets : alles i.O.
    mit aktiviertem King-Includes: auch noch alles i.O.
    King-Text in die Sidebar (egal ob Includes aktiviert oder nicht): Sidebar Arrangement wird nach “Save Changes” durcheinandergewirbelt angezeigt, alle Änderungen (egal bei welchem Widget) werden nicht gespeichert (und somit auch keine Texteingabe bei King-Text).
    Die einzige Änderung die ich in einigen php-Scripten vorgenommen habe war die include und require Pfade zu ändern (wegen open_basedir restrictions).

    Any ideas? Danke!

  • 25.

    bitte im backoffice nur den firefox benutzen!

    die anzeige im frontend muss je nach template angepasst werden. dazu muss das html vor oder nach dem widget kontrolliert werden.

  • 26.

    Georg,

    First off I would like to say that the entire set of King Widgets that you have developed are absolutely amazing! They are by far the very best wordpress plugins out there.

    I am having some trouble using them, I emailed you at georg @ mediaprojekte DOT de a week ago with a detailed description of the problem, I just wanted to make sure that you received it.

    Thank You!

    Just wanted to drop you a note letting you know I’ve got the Framework installed, as well as the Text Widget, the Links Widget and the Pages Widget, and to say they work great! Awesome for a newbie like me. Thanks for sharing!

    Hallo hier ein paar Test-Probleme
    Leider mit dem neuen Framework massive Probleme mit Plugin: aLink, Post-Level und PXS-mail.
    Zusätzlich gibt es jede Menge Header send Fehlermeldungen.
    Keines dieser anderen Plugins läßt sich mehr aktivieren, erst nach updaten auf Framework 0.68 läuft alles wieder normal.

    Leider gibt es jetzt Fehlermeldungen durch das neue King Kat. Also auch hier wieder alte Version einbauen ….

    danke für dein feedback, leider können wir nicht immer alle pluginkombinationen testen. ich werde mir die entsprechenden plugins mal ansehen.

  • 31.

    Korregiere nochmals, nur die älteste Version ist mit den anderen Plugin lauffähig. 22.06.
    Ansonsten kommt es permament zu Header Fehlermeldungen.

    Schade eigentlich da es schöne Funktionen enthalten hat.

    Hallo!

    Ich habe gerade mein Blog auf Version 2.0.4 upgedatet, und wollte versuchen ob die King-Widgets jetzt schon laufen (siehe Post von oben; Vorschläge versucht aber leider ohne erfolgt).

    Aber ich bekomme eine neue Fehlermeldung, ev. sagt Euch die ja etwas;

    I’ve installed your king includes as well as the categories and pages widgets and both are working smoothly. However, I just installed the search widget and have run upon an error. In the Where to Show section, just above the Show in Category option, there is an error message displayed:

    Warning: Missing argument 8 for widget_king_where_to_show() in /home/austinde/public_html/wptest/wp-content/plugins/king-includes/library/king_widget_functions.php on line 52

    A look at the functions file shows this as the line in question:

    function widget_king_where_to_show($widgetname,$number,$show_category,$category_id,$show_on_site_area,$show_not_on_site_area,$site_area,$site_area_id)

    I’m pretty much a php novice so I’m not really sure what’s missing here. Any ideas?

    Hello we like your widgets. How can we have the same backgrounds that you see in the Calendar and the Monthly Archives. http://www.theaviationnation.com/

    Here is a comment someone who looked at the above link sent me. Can you help me figure out what to do. It’s apparently a style issue, but I am not sure the best way to do it. I’ve tried a couple approaches, but none work. And I don’t want to make changes to your php code, in widgets.php.

    By doing a search for sidenav_bottom.jpg in your css file I found all the styles that use it, and from there i was able to deduce that this one was applying it to the ‘Monthly Archives’, and its being applied because ‘Monthly Archives’ is the only section that has a ul inside a ul.

    #sidebar ul ul {
    background: #F3F6ED url(img/sidenav_bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom; /*this style applied the background to a ul inside a ul inside #sidebar*/
    border: #E1D6C6 1px solid;
    font-size: 0.9em;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 5px;
    padding-bottom: 3em;
    }

    this is how your ‘Monthly Archives’ section has a ul below the h2 heading.

    Monthly Archives

    December 2006

    Now looking at your HTML i can see that all other sections that don’t have the background do not have the items inside a ul, put the items below the heading inside a ul and it will work.

    for example, take ‘Contributors’.. write out the html for this section as follows (similar to the ‘Monthly Archives’ above)

    Contributors

    Bogdan Dzakovic

    Debra Burlingame

    also note;
    background: url(img/sidenav_bottom.jpg) #F3F6ED no-repeat bottom;

    should be in this order:
    background: #F3F6ED url(img/sidenav_bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom;

    Here is the Style Sheet

    Hi Georg,

    First of all I would like say that your work “King Framework” and all it’s applications are amazing.

    But…

    I have installed the widgets according to the instructions (in wp-content/plugins/widgets/) and also your framework (in wp-content/plugins/) with the King Text. What happens is that when I activate your framework and widget, I’m unable to move my widgets around on the sidebar, they get stuck. I have wordpress 2.1 and widgets for wordpress 2.1, but amazingly the wordpress widgets didn’t come with the folder “scriptaculous” so what should I do to solve this problem?

  • 48.

    the same problem here as described in post no. 47 – Ich habe das gleiche Problem wie im Posting Nr. 47 beschrieben.

  • 49.

    Bernhard Fischer,

    For the moment King Framework is not compatible with Wordpress 2.1, you’ll have to revert back to Wordpress 2.0.x in order to make it work.

  • 50.

    Hi,
    The current king-framework (0.70) breaks the current widget plugin (1.2.1.20070210b) such that the widgets can not be dragged.
    Please advise.

    Thanks for your excellent work!

  • 51.

    King Framework prototype-lite.js is the problem with the widget plugin breaking. I edited the king_widget_functions.php to use the default prototype.js included with wordpress 2.1 and all is well.

    I copied the WordPress 2.1 prototype.js file into the king_includes/js folder first.
    Then did a search and replace inside the king_widget_functions.php file. I replaced “prototype-lite.js” with “prototype.js”.

    This is a HACK fix! So the plugin author needs to update the plugin the “right” way and re-release :-)

    I assume other King plugins are probably negatively affected by this hack since there must be a reason for the existence of prototype-lite.js…but I don’t know which ones use it or why there is a lite version. Something in the “lite” prototype file stomps on the default prototype file.

  • 52.

    Thank you Don!

    I did this hack, and now have working widgets.

  • 53.

    Good!
    Keep an eye here. I’m sure the fix will be updated in the plugin before too long. Better to have things buttoned up correctly :-) Upgrades work then.

  • 54.

    Actually, the problem isn’t the prototype-lite.js, it was that in the king_widget_functions.php it was written as “prototype.lite.js” instead of “prototype-lite.js”. I discovered this when I tried to do a find and replace as suggested in comment (kommentar) 51.

  • 55.

    im having the same problem with non draggable widgets

    i copied wordpress’ protoype into king includes and renamed it to prototype.lite.js – that got rid of a javascript error i was getting in options, but i still cant drag

  • 56.

    Thanks Jason,
    dots…dashes…jeeeez this stuff will drive ya nuts!

    I edited it to “prototype-lite.js” and it works.

    So, for others reading this, don’t bother copying prototype.js into the king_includes/js folder as described in comment 51. There is no need for that.

    Simply search for “prototype.lite.js” in the king_widgets_functions.php file and edit it to be “prototype-lite.js”. That should fix it.

    Still, the author needs to update this…

  • 57.

    This looks very interesting,

    I must ask, did you try to see how does this implements with the k2 theme from Michael Heillman, and if you did, are there any steps to be taken as this theme integrates widgets as a default, without a need for a widgets plugin.

    THX

  • 58.

  • 59.

    same problem with widgets which are not dragable please help

  • 60.

    Thank you for this work around it had stumped me for some time. To the person who left comment 59, please see comment 56 for the simple answer. Note that there are two occurrences of “prototype.lite.js” in the file: I just changed both and it worked. Yay.

  • 61.

    I have everything working, however when I attempt to edit the options for one of the King Links widgets, the options don’t stay open for long. They collapse in an instant and I cannot fill anything in.

    Any ideas?

  • 62.

    I also have the same problem with, after installation, undraggable widgets. ALL my remaining widgets are undraggable while only your files are enabled.

    I followed the directions from comment 60 and did not work. As long as they are enabled, nothing is draggable.

    help please!

    Danke!

  • 63.

    I was having the same freeze problem with the standard widgets when activating the king framework. Thanks to the comments above (comments 56 & 60), the freeze problem was solved.

    However, activating ANY of king’s widgets (links, search…) gives errors of the type:
    ————————————–
    Warning: widget_king_search_register() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘widgets.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/ggg/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/king-search.php on line 351
    ————————————–

    So I guess there is definitely a bug to be fixed here.

    Note: I am using WP 2.1.3 and YES, the widgets plugin is already installed and activated.

  • 64.

    Hey.

    I have got the exact same situation and error message as #63. Will there be a fix soon?
    Really looking forward to using your widgets!

  • 65.

    hope there’s a fix out for this soon! it looks great!

  • 66.

    To people who have recently commented, just to double check, have you gone to the following lines..

    and

    echo “\n”.”.”\n”;
    (around line 280)

    and changed prototype.lite.js to prototype-lite.js?

    (that is in the king_widget_functions.php file in the king-includes\library\ folder)

    I had this plugin framework and the RSS and Text plugins working fine, then after an upgrade and re-installation of plugins, I had the same frozen widget issue. Having made the above changes, it is now working fine.

Each time I activate any of plugin, Wordpress comes up with an error saying No Sidebars Defined You are seeing this message because the theme you are currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change. For information on making your theme widget-aware, please follow these instructions. Help.

    I guess we just have to wait for an update, 2.2 has just been released.

    FYI: Unable to activate Framework after upgrading to 2.2.
    Looking forward to an update

    same issue as others noted above–installed widget and now my sidebar functions are frozen. I can assess the data in the ones that are currently live, but I cannot move them around, therefore cannot move king pages up to my left sidebar to try it out.

    also tried the above fixes but they don’t seem to work for me. should I try an earlier version? maybe this versions not ready from prime time.

    Guten Tag,
    Seems that the King Framework does not work with WP 2.2 I get an error of an undefined call (I think it is get_current_user).

    If I had known they changed WP that much I would not have upgraded. I like the King widgets too much to lose them.

    Danke,
    BD

    Hi,
    I have been using widgets plugin and found your king-widget-framework can be useful to me. I installed the frame work and then activated the plugin. But when I go into my sidebar widgets section, I am not able to move anything. Could you shed some light. Thanks for the great work.

    Evening.

    Yep I too got trouble with King Framework on WordPress 2.2. I can enable framework but if I enable a plugin, like the kingLinks, it crashes everything. Thank God for backups, heh. Hope the problem can be fixed. I love the framework!

    Hi, I am user of many King plugins and widgets. After upgrade to wordpress 2.2, widgets do not activate and cause errors like “Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /site/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 1528″.
    Is there a fix? Thank You

    Hey King I really like to use your plugins in the new wordpress version. Is there any news on progress or updates coming up?

    Danke Schön for any update

  • 81.

    Wow, all this did was fuck up my WordPress. AWESOME. I get errors out the ass, cant access my Admin Panel, AWESOMEEEEE. And hey, its a pain in the ass to get rid of because you cant just delete it! GREAT!

    Seems to break wordpress 2.2. I think an update is in order….

  • 83.

    Ace, don’t you think that you are being a bit ignorant to a person who wrote a plug in for you to use for free especially when there a number of comments indicating that the plug in does not work in 2.2?

    There is a fix for this to make it work (not 100%) in the Wordpress forum. All you have to do is search for King Widgets or King Text and you should get what you need.

    It might have been more accurate if you had written:
    Wow, because I did not read first I installed something that messed up my site. I can’t access anything because I was too lazy, foolish, or ignorant to read before I tried this.

    I know the fix but you can search for it. As for the problem you have right now, try using ftp to delete all the King items from your site and then refresh it.

    And one last thing, it is only a blog. It is not worth getting upset over and going off the deep end. If this is the worst thing you have to deal with in life then you have it made.

    You’re right, partly: if there’s a problem it would be nice to state so by the author and hint at the solution. Sure people are giving stuff for free, but as this is also a commercial site, it gains a lot of links, hits and reputation from it.

    There needs to be a notice that king widgets is not compatible with the latest version of wordpress!

    That would save people like me from all that installation instruction reading, installing, fretting, uninstalling/fixing wordpress, & then searching for a solution.

    I could have avoided all that if it was clearly listed somewhere that it was not wordpress 2.2 compatible!

    Hallo!
    Ich bin auf die KING-Widgets durch blogpimp.de aufmerksam geworden und habe versucht, einige der Widgets zu installieren inkl. Framework, so wie hier beschrieben …
    Leider funzt nix davon und wirft die unterschiedlichsten Fehlermeldungen aus …
    Ich habe jetzt gesehen, dass die Widgets alle auf älteren WP-Versionen sitzen, die das widgets-plugin installieren müssen bzw. mussten. Ich nutze zur Zeit die aktuelle WP 2.3 Version. Kann es sein, dass diese version von Euren widgets nicht unterstützt wird, oder dass man sie anders installieren muss?
    Die letzten Posts hier liegen ja schon einige Zeit zurück … Auf Hilfe bzw. kleine Anleitung würde ich mich freuen … Greetz Jens

  • 87.

    o.k. … alles klar …
    Hätte vielleicht die letzten Comments vorher lesen sollen! Sorry! Also ab Version 2.2 ist schon Schicht! Schade, da Eure Plugins richtig gut klingen …
    Plant Ihr denn mit Updates für die neuesten WP-Versionen?

    Does this widget and framework pose/present any security risks when used with Wordpress ? Since you allow lots of flexibility wouldn’t this be a security vulnerability ?

  • 89.

    LoL dude,

    why you don´t just give a tutorial about you plugins? is that to much demands? You Plugins working crappy and your support is more than less.

  • 91.
