    How to avoid this: ?

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class dc_wp_options_1_0_0 could not be converted to string in /hsphere/local/home/yamadera-1979/blogion.ru/wp-content/plugins/dcoda-widgets/classes/widgets_config.php on line 60

    Thanks.

    I need a to know the context, what were you doing at the time.

    Yo! This looks like something I could use since its a nice out-of-the-box bundle….buuut….not working for me.

    Yes, DCoda widgets appears under the presentation tab and lists its own in a vertical list with the default WP ones below them. The only checkbox is for deactivation.

    No actual error messages, but once activated and I add the widgets on the dashboard–>design–>widgets page, they never save. I even clicked ‘change’ once they appear on the ‘current widgets’ list after the ‘add’…scroll down and ’save changes’. When the page reloads from this, they disappear from the added list and are reset on the right side in the available list with the tag again showing ADD instead of EDIT.

    I’m on WP 2.5 and its installed homelessdiver.com/blogs/wp-content/plugins/ —the theme is WP classic 1.2 and the header comment says "Based on Arabic (RTL) version of WordPress Classic theme, converted by Serdal (Serdal.com)" I have not yet begun to tweak this so it should still be the same as when I DL’d it a week ago bundled with whatever WP was out before I found WP2.5 yesterday.

    So you’ll see what I am, heres some more info…sorry if its overkill:
    dc Image link in the avail list: xxx/widgets.php?add=dc+Image&_wpnonce=e58d4902ad

    My question on this (and all the otherDCoda links) is about the "dc+Image" term. I dis activated all the working widgets and looked at their links but none of them have a space between terms. They all have a dash or underscore. I looked in the code and dc is the only one with a space between terms. I’ll test around and see if that makes a difference but so far it hasn’t in the Image script.

    in the DCoda_widgets.php file, everything has an underscore between the dc and title but in the classes folder, theres a space. Perhaps this does not matter but I only mention it because the non-dc widgets I looked at only utilize a space when setting the title in an array for their respective classes folder.

    After all this writing, I have a feeling its going to be something insanely simple that I’m not seeing.

    I’m running WP 2.5, downloaded and installed the plugin, activated it, but it does not show on my widgets page.  Any ideas as to why?

    Downloaded again from here and the widgets now show on my widget page, but I tried using the image widget and all that appears in my sidebar is the word ‘image’, which isn’t even a link to an image.  Any ideas?

  12. admin Says:
    April 13th, 2008 at 2:26 pm

    ethan: IMAGE is the alternate attribute. This is the attribute which is displayed when the image is loading or cannot be found. Is the URL to the image correct?

    Sorry. Forgot to post that I’d resolved this issue.

    I’m having the same problem as ethan - only getting the word image. I’m positive that the path is correct. I’ve dragged the image widget and have tried entering both ways:

    img url: http://www.bloggingforjesus.net/wp-content/themes/downtownjava/downtown-java-3column/images/latest%20posts.bmp

    and “http://www.bloggingforjesus.net/wp-content/themes/downtownjava/downtown-java-3column/images/latest%20posts.bmp ”
    and also

    ?? help!

    I’ve just tried the link as shown, in the current version of the plug-in and with works for me.
    When the page is output, if you go to view source, what do you see int the widget bar where in image widget is?
