Widget Urls Wrong

s1r0n

I have managed to get Vanilla operational and embedded on my site (http://www.michaelsharp.org/forums/ I have two questions though

1) how can I get the "new post" button to do a "ask a question" button like thes forums

2) how do i fix the widget urls. They are currently pointing to incorrect URLS, and they all break as a result. help

1) What version of Vanilla are you running?

2) Can you give an example of a widget URL?

3) You want the dropdown, or just the ability to ask a question?

s1r0n

you can see the wrong widget urls on any of the other pages like http://www.michaelsharp.org/

This seems to be an issue with your wordpress widgets.

4) Are you running Vanilla embedded?

yes I'm running it embedd. i fixed the widget problem. there's a button that tells you to force URLs to the wordpress installation. that fixed the problem. however now the integrated login in not working. i'll post another question

I want the dropdown like on these forums

The button uses some special markup to combine the Discussion and Question button provided by the QnA addon.

< div class="ButtonGroup Multi  Action Big Primary">
  <a href="/post/discussion/questions" class="Button Primary">New Discussion</a>
  < ul class="Dropdown MenuItems">
    <li><a href="/post/discussion/questions">New Discussion</a></li>
    <li><a href="/post/question">Ask a Question</a></li>
  </ul>
  <a href="/discussion/23437/widget-urls-wrong#" class="Button Primary Handle"><span class="Sprite SpDropdownHandle"></span></a>
</div>

They also use some jQuery to activate the flyout.

$(document).delegate('.ButtonGroup > .Handle', 'click', function() {
  var buttonGroup = $(this).closest('.ButtonGroup');
  if (buttonGroup.hasClass('Open')) {
    // Close
    $('.ButtonGroup').removeClass('Open');
  } else {
    // Close all other open button groups
    $('.ButtonGroup').removeClass('Open');
    // Open this one
    buttonGroup.addClass('Open');
  }
  return false;
}); 

Style to your heart's content!
