Widgets don't show up with new integrated widgets.php

[kretzschmar]

Although all Widgets are shown nicely under presentaion tab, they don't show up in the blog if you register your sidebars using names instead of the default numbers.
If you use:

register_sidebar(array('name'=>'Sidebar-Column1'));

You can't use:

dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar-Top');

to show Widgets. Only by using numbered Sidebars (SIdebar1, Sidebar2 etc.) it works.
(btw I am using a german locale).

I can confirm that this is indeed a problem, even in the latest revision of 2.2 r5466. I tested on an existing widgetized 2.1.3 blog with a custom theme that has no id paramter, only a name parameter. The name paramter is respected in terms of name, but widget are not properly placed in the sidebars. In fact it's as if the widgetized sidebar did not exist. As an example, in this case, in %theme%/functions.php we use:

`if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )

register_sidebar(array(

'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget wide %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="title">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',

'name' => 'Full width - top'

)
);`

and in the sidebar.php:

` <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')

!dynamic_sidebar('Full width - top') ) : ?>`

Ok, that formatting is screwed. Lets try again:

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )

    register_sidebar(array(

        'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget wide %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="title">', 'after_title' => '</h2>',

            'name' => 'Full width - top'

    ) );

and

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
 !dynamic_sidebar('Full width - top') ) : ?>

The sidebar ID is being created differently, so the new code doesn't see the old sidebar. Working on a fix.

(In [5473]) Allow sidebar names to be passed to dynamic_sidebar(). fixes #4258 for 2.2

Does that help?

[kretzschmar]

Now it is fixed. Is this added to the final version of 2.2 now?

[JeremyVisser]

Yes, the fix will be in the final release of 2.2.

[technosailor]

Perfect!

this is still not working for me, using SVN. i've got another user running into the problem with the release version of 2.2

my environment: ​http://archgfx.net/phpinfo.php

widget call in my theme:
​http://disconnected.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/disconnected/Trunk/functions.php?revision=50&view=markup#l_129

[sunburntkamel]

looks like i need to add an

'id' => '1'

and

'id' => '2'

to make them both work?
