He placed the widget correctly on the Sermons page sidebar: screen shot 2014-10-15 at 3 12 37 pm Everything works fine on the admin side.

The issue is when you click on one of those topics nothing happens. screen shot 2014-10-15 at 3 10 48 pm You can see this at the end of the sidebar on this page: http://www.icommunitychurch.com/sermons-2/

When choosing a topic it doesn't search then display only those topics, instead nothing happens.

Here's the admin: The username is: temp Password: p@s$w0rd

Any suggestions? Is this a Church Theme Content Plugin Issue? @chriswallace

Not sure on that one. I'm not super familiar with that widget so I don't really know what it would do. Might make sense to check this on the demo for a ChurchThemes.com theme just to see what theirs does.

angela-crist commented 10 years ago

@chriswallace On a demo for ChurchThemes.com I don't see this widget for sermons but I do believe they used it for the blog. It looks like this: screen shot 2014-10-17 at 10 02 40 am (http://demos.churchthemes.com/exodus/blog/) It actually shows how many posts are included in that category rather than a drop down. When you click on the category it goes to a page like this: http://demos.churchthemes.com/exodus/category/announcements/

What are your thoughts on how to proceed?

@chriswallace Any updates on how to proceed?

This is definitely a bug in the theme. Would need to assess the issue and fix it.

@matthewsimo Please take a look at this and assess the situation. Each of these widgets has a number of options and it seems this particular setting requires some Javascript to be attached to the drop-down in order to work properly. I have attached the Resurrect theme so you can see their implementation and see if their drop-down works properly (since that is where we got this from).

The widgets are coming from the plugin right? I'll do some digging but I don't see how the issue lies with the theme.

matthewsimo commented 10 years ago

This is the same thing that's happening in #66 - can we find out what version of php they are running?

I'll do some more digging but it seems the root of the issue is that the plugin we've tied our hitch too isn't backwards compatible.

chriswallace commented 10 years ago

The customer switched to a new web host and said the issues were all resolved. Perhaps @angela-crist could obtain his PHP version from the old host...

Ok, so the widget template we have in uplifted is exactly the same as the one in resurrect. It's a bug there, the template doesn't render properly when the "Show as dropdown" option is checked.

For the time being, tell them to uncheck that and it will display as it does in the demo you linked. The dropdown styles are ugly anyways...

To tackle the real issue though, I've added a simple submit button to the widget output when rendering as a dropdown. It's still ugly and kind of confusing - could probably use some further thought.
