Can't toggle the visibilty using jQuery anymore

[mcosx]

I was testing my plugin 'One Word A Day' in WP 2.8 and I cannot toggle the visibility of a div block anymore.

This is the jQuery code ( Line 96: ​http://svn.wp-plugins.org/one-word-a-day/trunk/classes/class.widget.php ) :

jQuery("#owad_post_settings").toggle("slow");

and this is the div block:

echo '<div id="owad_post_settings" style="';

if( ! $optionsowad_daily_post? )

echo 'display:none;';

echo '">';

some code with ending div tag

I even couldn't save the plugin options. I saw that there is a multiple widget support for plugins so can't I use my old code anymore? What goes wrong?

Sounds like you're like me... in for a rewrite of all of your plugins that insert widgets. ;-)

Think there's an error in your selector, jQuery("input[name=owad_daily_post]") should be jQuery("input[name=\'owad_daily_post\']"). Some of this changed in jQuery 1.3.

@andrew: the other issue is very real, though. If old-style widgets are supposed to work with the new API, the fact of the matter is they do not.

The attached plugin to convince you.

The selector works. If I put "alert();" in the function body the alert window appears. But it appears twice! Using show() instead of toggle() doesn't change anything. I'll check the jQuery 1.3 API for that.

jQuery("input[name=owad_daily_post]").change(function () {

jQuery("#owad_post_settings").toggle("slow");
alert('This message appears so the selector is fine - arg karg');
});

});

The other problem is solved. The submit name changed from save-widgets to savewidget.

It seems that the $control_callback in wp_register_widget_control($id, $name, $control_callback, $options = array()) is not set properly in the attached plugin.

is_callable( $control_callback ) returns false.

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

it would return false when is_admin() returns false, yes, since the class is only around on the widgets.php page. but that shoudn't be an issue, should it?

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

Or then, maybe toss in a do_action("load-widgets.php"); call in admin-ajax.php where needed for backwards compat. I can't possibly be the only one who doesn't stick to loading admin functions when needed.

@ azaozz: This was the first time using trac. Why are you the owner?

@ Whoever is able to: Can anyone split the posts related to Denis-de-Bernardy problem up? My problem is caused by jQuery.

I took a look in the jQuery 1.3 API and toggle() should be valid as I used it.

-> jQuery("#owad_post_settings").toggle("slow");

I've attached my plugin to this thread.

The plugin throws errors on activation (php4). Tested this with other widgets and all seems to work properly.

Please tell me what errors are thrown. PHP5 is available since four or five years :-/

Sorry for removing the tag. Added again.

The classes aren't initialized properly. WordPress supports php >= 4.3. If you don't want to support it in your plugin, perhaps do a version check at the beginning and show a warning, etc.
