how enable plugin but hide in side panel

intalik

Hi There!
This is exactly the plugin I'm looking for. Thanks for making it!

I plan on placing an RSS on my site using the Pockets plugin. When I call the FeedEk using Pockets it displays in the new location perfectly, but the text "RSS Feeds" remains in the side panel.

How do i hide or remove this?

Thanks!

peregrine

use a web developer tool determine the element and hide it with css.

intalik

of course! thank you. I'll give that a try.

peregrine

ok also if show what you did via pocket code and image , you might get a better answer.

You do not need to use pockets to add this module. It already is a module. you can hide it via css or change the controllers it appears on in the plugin file.

I am not sure why you would put the plugin in inside pockets... it is like putting a module inside another module. I am surprised it even works.

maybe he wants a different location, and more specific.

all he needs to do is comment out in the default.php $Sender->AddModule($FeedEkModule);

if he want to add via pockets.

but it would be easier to change asset in the FeedEk module - if he wants in i a different asset.

this is one case where an image and a better explanation of the ultimate goal would have been.

You can't sort a pocket, but you can sort a module via configuration. I would choose that route over using a pocket.

yes he can sort modules. and put pockets in many locations, but it is still guessing unless he explained the exact location

header, footer, panel content between discussions. section, etc.

one can guess and say one is better than another, but without knowing details it is pointless.

Hey good folks.
I'll try to give a better explanation:

I'd like to have the option to easily display the FeedEk module on different locations on my website (e.g. above head, top side panel, below main content).

I assumed this was most easily done with the Pockets plugin. So far it's been a breeze to add the FeedEk plugin below my main content as you can see here: http://www.oqalliffik.org

Now look in my side panel at above link, you'll find text that says "RSS Feeds". This is what I want to remove, seeing as it does not get hidden when using pockets plugin to display FeedEk in another location than the stock/standard sidepanel location.

I do not know how to sort modules, nor do i know how to change asset in the FeedEk module

peregrine

go to default.php in FeedEk

change 
$Sender->AddModule($FeedEkModule);

to

//$Sender->AddModule($FeedEkModule);

vrijvlinder posted a link to sorting thing up above.

if you want to change the asset in a module

look for

 public function AssetTarget() {
      return 'Panel';
   }

it can be Head, Foot, Content, or Panel

Worked perfectly. Thank you very much! Yes, I am in Greenland thumbsup

vrijvlinder

You mean to add the same feed in multiple places ?

You can add the feed in the Panel , Foot (below main content), Head(above Menu),Content(before content).

Simply change that in the module for FeedEk class.feedekmodule.php

   public function AssetTarget() {
      return 'Panel';
   }

I suppose if you want to put the same feed in multiple places at once, I could figure out how to put it into an array

Thanks for pointing that out. I would have overlooked that. I'll read through it.

No no. only one feed, but I might want to move it around from time to time. That is what I meant

vrijvlinder

Yes, ok then just change the code we mentioned it is that easy.

I should work on typing faster...

peregrine

@vrijvlinder meet pockets.

thumbs in pockets.

cool plugin feedek. nice job V. I never tried it before.

intalik

Okay! I deleted the RSS Feed Pocket i set up. Changed class.feedekmodule.php from 'Panel' -> 'Content' and all is perfect now.

Mucho appreciatedo

vrijvlinder

Thanks, and this proves my plugins don't interact adversely with anything, I never knew you could put it in a pocket...and still worked
