Great plugin!!! How do I change the label wording? from MORE INFO to for instance FACEBOOK?

Got it, sorry blonde moment there

Great plugin indeed, iw onder if there’s a possibility to ease the action a little bit, but still it’s fantastic !

thanks for this plugin, it’s fantastic! how did you add the twitter widget? cant find any instructions on it :(

Im also wondering about the twitter option?

For the twitter option, just add a text widget and put in the code.

Get the code from here: http://twitter.com/goodies/widgets

Enjoy!!!!

Joey:

To change the “more info” to “facebook” go to the settings under (settings -> side tab)

There you can manage the text and colors.

I’ve been searching the internet over trying to find this plugin. I had a suspicion it was a plugin but still was not sure as I saw it coming up mainly in the prophotoblog templates. You are a real God sent. Thanks for all you’re doing.

Hi
There is no way I can activate the plugin for a test on my local network .
Everytime I get this error message
Parse error: parse error in E:\wamp\www\magazine\wp-content\plugins\side-tab\side-tab.php on line 140

Jean,

No need to test locally, most likely isn’t working because you don’t have the server side scripting installed that is needed for the plugin (which we can’t provide support for). Follow the instructions to install onto your actual server, and do your testing on your site live. If you don’t like the plugin, it can always be disabled/uninstalled. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I will install it on the site server

Thank you for sharing this great plugin!

Motti:

I’m sorry about your troubles with the plugin.

This plugin does not alter anything in the php files, so it is not able to corrupt any files on your server. It has been tested on over 20 different themes and has worked fine on each of them.

Hi there,

I am positive it did in order to make it better I think it would be important to look into it.

It changed my default-widgets.php file (line 537) from this:
$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, empty($instance['title']) ? __(‘Recent Posts’) : $instance['title']);
if ( !$number = (int) $instance['number'] )
$number = 10;
else if ( $number 15 )
$number = 15;

to this:
$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, empty($instance['title']) ? __(‘Recent Posts’) : $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base);
if ( !$number = (int) $instance['number'] )
$number = 10;
else if ( $number 15 )
$number = 15;

The part “$instance, $this->id_base” was added and corrupted the sidebar.

I have a backup of my files so I was able to replace it but I had to redo all my sidebar with all my custom settings.

Hope that helps
Motti

thank you for sharing….i like your themes

I uploaded the file and it won’t let me activate. When I press activate it says The website cannot display the page.

Forgot to post the error:

This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

make sure you are running the latest version of WordPress. Also, make sure that you are not leaving any unnecessary spaces in the code you put into the footer.

Hi,

Love this plugin,thank you !! it’s should get me the design i’m after without compromise.

However after installing and set up – i can view it on my page but no action – it doesn’t open ?

Any idea?

Hey Paul.. i’ll look into it

Excited to find this, thanks. Love it! One question: I can’t seem to make the Twitter tab quite wide enough to display my whole Twitter profile name. I narrowed the Twitter badge itself to 120px but it still cuts off my profile name. Is there a way to make the side tab wider?

hi chris,

Can yopu help me out on this?

Paul.

Hi Paul:

unfortunately, you seem to have another jquery plugin that is conflicting with ours. this plugin will not work with your current set up.

g luck!

Wow, this is a nice plugin indeed ! I’m sure you’ll have a lot of success with it. The best feature for me so far : it works with Chrome, FF AND (the lamest of all time) IE.

However, I’d like to know : how can I make the tab go back to unseen as soon as the mouse isnt on it?

Thanks again for the sharing !

Sorry, forgot something : I want only one tab to appear but lower in the screen. I tried adding only tab 3, but only the widget text shows up, not the sliding tab. Do you have any thoughts please?

Hi Garry: Unfortunately, this plugin doesn’t have either of your requested functions … if you want to change it, probably have to hire someone to customize the programming.

g luck

Fantabulous plug-in!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! :)

One problem, my Twitter tab is also cutting off my updates (the tab isn’t wide enough to display it all). Is there any workaround to correctly display the Twitter widget?

Hi Lisa:

Unfortunately, you can’t control the width of the plugin. However, it should be very easy to adjust the width of your twitter widget (if you’re using the one found here http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_profile)

Just find the ‘width’ in the code that you’re pasting in!

G luck!

Hmmm I updated the wordpress to 3.0.1. And still getting the error: This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

I get this right after I click on activate plugin

Is it possible to put the tabs on the right side instead of the left side?

Having a lot of trouble here with this plugin. I think it’s my code, does this look right (it the last few lines in the footer)?

Than you SLR lounge for this plugin. With wordpress 3.0.3 it took less than 2 minutes to install. I loved the color palette feature whick makes color matching so much easier.

An SLR follower from San Francisco

I have some conflicting issues on different sites. on one, the timeout to close drawer on mouseleave doesnt work, and on the other the rollover doesnt work. I would love to contact someone for some troubleshooting.

Can I install this from my standard install Plugin approach or is the only way to download/upload manually. I searched for this in the plugin area but couldn’t find it.

Thanks

Hi! I love this plug-in, and I’m still working on pulling together the new blog. But I’ve followed all your instructions. I’ve tried updating wordpress, and deactivating a couple different plug-ins I had activated, but they just won’t show up. Any thoughts?

Great plugin , great template.

I am using a modded combo theme PHOTOFEATURE and PHOTOFLASH. Add this plugin, but it hidden behind flash banner.

I added in flashdadehtml. But problem not solved eventhough.

Please help.

nice plugin – like the one i see on superb prophoto blogs. Thanks for this.
but i think there’s bug.
sidebar only opens for a limited amplitude. since it’s not big issue, it causes problems with other widget applications’ dimensons like facebook likebox i used. Panels do not open as wide as the likebox’s orginal width size, i had to reduce width from the iframe code..but with this way, you can only have 2 columns of faces in likebox unlike the original likebox code lays 4 columns which is 292px and mine is 185px.

as i can see your panels have the same issue.
is there are way have unlimited width for panels, or redouble the width?

sorry for my english ;)
still it’s a good plug-in.
thanks again.

I recently installed the side tab plugin and I am having trouble getting it to work properly. The colors of the text & tab itself is not the color it was selected to in side tabs. Also the side tab does not show up at all in firefox.

Any advise would be great!
Laura

It is possible that the open tabs after clicking? and only close when the mouse goes away?

I installed the side tab plugin last night and using the free photoflash theme. When my sidebar slides out the first one has a black shadow under it, the second and third one slides under my rotating image on my page. Not sure what I can do to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks!

Hi Amanda:

That is actually something we’re working on with the next theme and pluggin. Currently, we have no fix for you with your current set up.

However, please note that it is not an issues on higher resolution (larger) screens, as there will be enough room for it to slide out.

Thanks!

Can this plugin be installed with 3.1 wp ?

Any one know if there is some thing like this for Joomla ?

hello guys, i really like the plugins but is there any way to use it on another website by using Dreamweaver? Thanks

Is there any way to exclude the tabs from a specific page (say, a private page)?

Thank you.

Ok, so I followed all the directions and got to the add code to my footer section. Went to add it and it is already there. This is what it looks like:

© Quirky Bits n’ Pieces
Hosted: Blogs About Hosting
Design: E.Webscapes Designs

<img src="/images/top.jpg” alt=”Quirky Bits n’ Pieces” />

But when you go to the site all you see is the link your site. Can you help?

whooops! sorry didn’t remember to add some spaces to the coding! LOL here is my Footer page info again :)

Hi admin,

I am using your side tab, it is great. It works fine with fb… however when i add twitter widget, about 100px of the right hand side widget is cut off. Can you please give me some idea where i might have done wrong please?

much appreciated

Where exactly does the code go in the footer section. I tried doing it and all i got was hte image down the bottom of my page… no tabs? what am i doing wrong?

cool plugin mate !!

I downloaded the zip file and saved it.  Went to my hosting site, uploaded files side-tab.php and dynamic-css.php (only way I could see it in my Plugins tab),  but I am getting this error code:

Warning: include_once(admin/sidetab-ui.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/13/7939613/html/wp-content/plugins/side-tab.php on line 86

Also attached an image of my menu

Hey Justin
Been searching the exact question you asked. Did you manage to get a solution to putting the Tabs on the right hand side of the screen.

Thanks

Hey Guys
Absolutely a fabulous theme. I have a theme that already has a slider effect on the left hand side and it causes the Side Tab to go crazy. I was hoping there is a way to change it to the right hand side of the screen. If there is some way, your help would be appreciated.

Thanks

the original version of this plug-in is included with profoto blogs.
there isn2t any possiblty to change parameters a lot with this plug-in.
It2s mostly a hach of the original i think. 

Thank you so so much for posting this.  Designing my own blog with no developer/coder background and I pulled this off thanks to you.  Also you saved me the main reason why I was going to pay that other company – just for the tabs.

yay! thank you! problem solved!

Looks great on all sides i check so far, but it seems not to be working on WP3.1, right?

I did everything per the instructions (as it was fairly simple and straightforward) but all I have showing is the “powered by SLR Lounge”. Can you tell me possibly what I may be doing wrong?

http://www.adventurebee.net

Great plug-in, although still trying to get it to work with photocrati theme! The code that has to be added in the footer.php can this go anywhere or in a specific line?

if ANYONE knows a way I can make the side-bars width more, so that when it pulls out it is wider, please tell me!
ALSO How can I do it so I can edit the width of the side-bar tab, AND how can I move them down so they arent at the VERY top of my website. 
http://www.HarrisonHoude.com 

Can you consider in the next version just hooking into wp_footer rather than have people do step 4?

All you’d need to add to the plugin is this:

add_action ( ‘ wp_footer’, ‘get_side_tab’ ) ;

No matter which colors I choose the slider background is black.  I am also searching for a way to make it a little wider.

How’d you setup your twitter/facebook/digg sidebar on this site? I’m using the same plugin but I can’t seem to make it permanently stay on the left side of the post out of the content area, when i resize my browser. 

You can see it on my site http://www.imamangaholic.com

Is there anyway to add this to blogger?

doesn’t seem to work.

just wondering: why only 3 sliding tabs? why not 4 or 5? why not as many as one might want?

No matter what I do, this plugin will not work on my site. I have no idea why.

i will try this plugin on my localhost., thank you.,

You can use the Widget Logic plugin –
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/

In the plugin’s dynamic-css.php file look for this line -
echo ‘#drawer_content_’.$i.’ {width:163px;}’;
Carefully change the 163px to width you want.

Is there a way to put an image in the tab instead of text?

I wrote a post on how to adjust the width for your Twitter widget here: 
http://www.briandicroce.com/2012/01/25/how-to-change-the-default-width-of-the-side-tab-wordpress-plugin-from-slr-lounge/

Hi, This looks like an awesome plugin — I saw it on someone else’s site and want to add it to one I’m working on.  I added, installed, etc. and the tab is visible, but no matter what widget I add, the tab appears to be empty on the site.  Any suggestions would be very appreciated.  
http://66.147.244.100/~theseagr/

Nevermind! I figured it out.

Marc, That works to widen the tab, but it also makes the tab load half “open.”  What’s the fix for that?  
http://66.147.244.100/~theseagr/  

Hello,   Love the widget.  Its awsome!  I have question? I’ve managed to figure out how to make it slide out farther then the default by changing the 163 in the dynamic-css.  My problem is when the page loads the sidebar loads sticking half way out.  I was wondering if there is a fix for this? Thank You.

I figured out.

Care to share how? I am having this same problem.

I’m having the same problem.  What did you do to fix it?
