[3.2.0] Remove a Widget or edit Widget setting

1 john Jun 01, 2009 09:07

My b2evolution Version: 3.2.0

I activated Simple Related Post List and it appears "After Post"

1. I can find no way to delete this widget. Action Buttons have no effect
2. I can find no way to edit it's setting or style this widget.
3. If I delete it from the Widget Folder then Blog Setting ->Widgets list is emptied totally...No widgets at all.

The settings only comprise of
Block title: Title to display in your skin.
Group by: Do you want to group the Items?
Order by: How to sort the items
Direction: How to sort the items
Limit: Number to show

Any tips appreciated.

See what happens when you wander into the darkside Luke? ;)

:) Yes indeed.

Well, White Knight ¥åßßå
Here's what I 've tried.
I deleted the packaged Related Post widget from the After Post container and replaced it with your wonderful ( is that the wind sucking ) original Related Post Widget but the packaged one persists.
Any solutions to get me out the darkness and achieve the switch?

A quick solution would probably be to hit your database and delete it manually.

I'll setup a 3.x blog and see if I can solve the problem when I get a free moment ;)

I've tried the database option but the thing still renders.

Cheers

Sheesh, that widgets crap compared to ours!

Good news is, I had no problems installing/uninstalling it using 3.x.cvs

8 john Jun 03, 2009 08:27

Must be a nicer "less buggy" version :(

Did it remove it from a post?

9 yabba Jun 03, 2009 08:31

It removed it from the posts bottom container that I added to the skin. From the looks of it though it's meant to live in your sidebar and shows "related posts" for all item tags in the current mainlist, which means it only really "works" in single post mode

10 john Jun 03, 2009 08:36

I'll wait and see what the next upgrade does.

11 yabba Jun 04, 2009 07:02

Just for kicks, meander into your database and see if there's a wi_user_ID column in evo_widget ... if there is then delete it ;)

12 john Jun 04, 2009 08:42

Nope, no such column...
wi_ID, wi_coll_coll_id

13 john Jun 04, 2009 09:20

If I edit the posts by removing all tags, it clears the B2 Related posts

14 yabba Jun 04, 2009 09:48

Might be worth killing the pre-rendered cache and seeing if that works ?

15 john Jun 04, 2009 09:51

Nope, I've hit that a dozen times during this "episode"

16 john Jun 04, 2009 23:11

Can I remove the "After Post" container, and if so, where is it?

17 yabba Jun 05, 2009 09:16

No idea, it's not in the default custom skin so you must have added it yourself. When you find it just rename it ;)

18 john Jun 05, 2009 09:52

All the files are new 3.2.0, so it's not from the older installation.
I've searched everywhere... I'll keep looking but I think I'll do a fresh install and see if that gets rid of it.

19 john Jun 05, 2009 10:13

Deleted it from the database... Its cleared it from Widget Containers lists but it doesn't clear from any post that has tags...
Water under the bridge

20 yabba Jun 05, 2009 18:00

Just to freak you out, there's no "post bottom" in any file in your /skins/ folder :|

21 yabba Jun 05, 2009 18:03

Just for kicks, see if it's cured now

Either way, can you link me to a post where you get the relations gatecrashing ?

22 john Jun 05, 2009 21:25

So WTF did you do ?

23 yabba Jun 06, 2009 09:06

Does that mean it worked?

24 john Jun 06, 2009 09:08

Well yes, every instance of that has disappeared. I have added tags etc . You have killed it, well done, but yes.... HOW??

25 yabba Jun 06, 2009 09:12

I told our plugin to work in widget mode only ;)

26 john Jun 06, 2009 09:30

Thank goodness for that, though I'm sure I attempted that myself during my attempts to kill it.
Now, I'll set your's up again.

Thanks
