Code Styling Project

Hello Heiko, i was looking for a tool like this, it´s downloaded and installed on my site and it works very well. Easy to install, easy to use, very good work! Thanks a lot for this. I think i have to write some lines on my blog about this …

bye

Wow, looks awesome.
I don’t really need it at the moment, but I’m sure this plugin will come in handy.

Great plugin, and it should be incorporated to most Magazine themes. I like the possibility of continuing to work in the default mode and the ability to divide the interior page into 2 to 4 columns.
One question though:
a. with a Sidebar at, let’s say, a width of 300 px, it leaves 600 px width for the columns. This gives us a maximum of READABLE columns of 4, editorially speaking.
b. Let’s say I am working on a list of my site (hispanicla.com) authors. It’s ideal for the Page Columnist features. But only if there are an absolute maximum of 6 (One in the header, one in the footer, four in the interior). If I have more Authors I would like to have them in a new page. What is the way to do it?
Thank you!

+1 for this.

As of now i do the splitting manually in the template.

I apologize for the double posting, this is a different question.
Is it possible to have this wonderful plugin work with posts?
I tried to use a plugin called p2p converter that just turns a page into a post and viceversa, but the post didn’t have columns…

Downloaded, installed it, works in admin but nothing happens on the frontend of the blog. Created a page with 2 subpages, chosed the subpage as collums choice at the parent page but the subpages are still displayed in original wordpress way. Have PHP 5.2.x version and latest wordpress. What could be wrong?

Hello.

As everyone says, great plugin !
I can’t get visual assistance on preview.
Did I miss something ?

Ben

Hello again! I wish I had effectively not done the three of these simple things… And I don’t eve tried to get this in a new tab…

Anyway I tried again and re-check the three steps and I still can’t get visual help. Maybe one of the other installed plug-in make yours crash or something in my design ?

I can install a list of plugin a have if you want. Let me know by eMail.

Danke schön

Benjamin

I would really love to have this plugin but i don’t want to upgrade from WP 2.6 (too much to backup), plus I am not using a WP theme. Is there an older version of this?

Thank you, I’d like to be informed about the occurring of 2.6. I also like the next update of this plugin and probably will try to update my WP but just in case let me know about 2.6, I might use it on another website. Thanks again

Congratulations on your excellent work!
I await with enthusiasm the development of widget support.
I’m working on a similar plugin but I think that will stop the development because I think your excellent work!
Thanks!

When I activate the plugin in is adding and extra tag. When I deactivate it extra tag is not there,. Any ideas?

It could be my theme but the page validates without the plugin active.

http://www.shivermytimber.com/test/

I checked and wpautop is disabled. I tried re-deactivating wpautop again and creating another page which also has extra tabs.

http://www.shivermytimber.com/test2/

Any know conflicts with other plugins?

The plugin is remarkably intuitive. Well done on the UI! Now a question… I’m not sure if that’s because some plugin is interfering, or perhaps it’s not contemplated yet, but my problem is figuring out vertical spacing of text - i.e. where to whack off text with the Nextpage tag for the next column, so that there are more or less neatly even columns…

Or am I looking for something impossible?

Either way, this plugin looks really wonderful for magazine type sites!

I was wondering if you could (for a fee) enhance this hack a bit. What I would like is that every time a page Break is inserted, a separate Editor Box is added at the bottom for and only for the new page. So basically, each page has their own Editor box.

Why I want this is beacuse I’m not HTML coder however, some pages require a cut’n'paste of Code for me. I can easily navigate to that page, switch to HTML and paste the code there.

Normally I have articles that are 6-10 pages so it becomes very hard to find the exact place and page break to insert the code I want. This would make things so much easier for me

Thanks-

Like I said, I could financially contribute somwehat to it and would love to have this functionality

Hehe- I’m not really a coder in any form but an editor/writer for a tech website. The only thing that I’ve seen for wordpress is this extenstion:

http://www.tarkan.info/20080106/tutorials/wordpress-plugin-multipage-tool-kit

While this doesnt actually split the Editor into multiple boxes, it allows each page to be named and a drop-down created that can move you to that page in an article. It doesnt change the page number in the URL to the name of the page, but that would definitely be an excellent idea.

great plugin! i know this may require some css changes but I was wondering if it is possible in a three column layout, to have an image display over the two right columns, while having the left column display next to that image? This would be like the “First Sub Page as Header” layout, except the First sub page would be bumped to the right to allow room for the far left column. thanks!

I’ve had some progress with my idea- can you possibly email me so I can share some info with you?

What a great plugin, I was looking for something like this, thanks for share.

Hi, thanks for this great plugin, but would it be possible to extend the columnization feature also to regular Posts?
My blog layout is a bit different, more horizontal than vertical and I could use columns in my posts as well.

Could you please upgrade the plugin to include posts as well?
There is nothing out there comparable to this plugin, and I really need it to be extended to posts.

I hope you can hear my pleas one day.
I am quite desperate to say the least. Is it possible to also have the columns in posts?
I posted my email address, so if you could email me your reply, I would appreciate it greatly. Tnx!
Agnes

Nice plugin, works without problems, easy to use, thanks for share!

Brilliant plugin! Tnxs!

Hello Sir,

Just a quick question for you if i may….

i want to make use of your plugin and want to make sure its going to do what i want it to… so what i want is to post 3 pics in a row and underneath them be able to post descriptive text in 2 columns to break up the length of the text area. will your plugin do this?

Thanks in advance…. Mike

I am usin your plugin ssuccessful at http://www.gregsweb.info/?page_id=7
Thank you

Great Plugin! Although after upgrading to 2.8 it no longer works. Any ideas?

Great. Thank you very much!

Great plugin, just what i was looking for!

Only problem is , i have a single-post homepage and i want to see columns, but what i get is the standard page links(though i can see columns in the single post page).

Is there a way i can get the columns on my homepage, please help

Thanks
Ankit

I am using a highly customized Atahualpa 3.3.2 theme, i am currently showing one post page from wp-options/reading

you can see it at my test server - http://somras.byethost10.com/,

if you look at the single post page then the plugin works fine

for eg - http://somras.byethost10.com/15june2009/

Amazing!! it works now , thanks a ton codestyling… i had a feeling it had to do something with conditional tags just couldn’t find them in the plugin, you are great

Hello Ankit,
I use Atahualpa too. In your second example the spacing of 3% has gone. That’s my problem too. Somehow it disappears.
It has got something to do with the preview, because I can’t save the preview as well. It opens a new blank page. Somehow the default spacing goed to zero. Any idea’s?

Hi codestyling,

I’m having the same problem: when I save my pages with 3% column spacing everything looks fine. But after a while (in the next day, for example), when I go back to the pages to check their layout, the 3% column spacing simply disappears (it goes back to 0%).

BTW, I am using the Options theme, and It seems that this problem started when I upgraded to WP 2.8.5. Any suggestions to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help and congratulations on the excellent work!

i have this same problem. i got it when i tried to use it last year and it seems to give me the same result now. it works fine except the column spacing always resets to 0%. I’m using 2.9.2

looks very promising going to install and play with it!

5 minutes later, got it all working great stuff!

Hello, two months later and are you still considering to extend the columns to POSTS?
Please, I am begging you to make it work for posts as well, because right now I have to use TWO plugins to do the same job and it’s ridiculous.
Is it really that difficult to do?

Regards,
Agnes

Hello
i am trying to not use a static page as main site with subsites but an article site with subsites
I thought this is possible. When i look into the wp admin settings it is possible to select an article or a static page as default page. however only static pages are displayed within both drop down menues
In general it wouldn´t matter but the static pages usually appear automatically in the main site menu
like “contact” or “imprint” and I do not want to display this static page there.
Therefore I thought I would just make use of an article.
Is this somehow possible?
thanks for a feedback
chris

This is brilliant and the interface for managing the columns is excellent. Only just discovered this when i was looking for a way to do columns instead of using tables in the html editor. Very well done and thank you.

Hi,

I love this plugin.

But one question about the usage,

With “Interior as Columns” setting,
I would like to add single line or line spaces:
one for just after first subpage (header) and
one for second subpage, and just before last subpage (footer).

I used but not displayed.

Any suggestion to display the lines?

Thanks,
Masa

Thanks for your reply.

I use iNove but I don’t clearly understand where to insert these codes.

That is the reason why I use this plugin without modifying the style sheet.

Thanks.

I added two lines to the bottom of style.css of iNove as you said, but nothing changed.

Plugin not working as advertised:
I have installed x2. The plugin is alive and present however example select Interior as Columns enter 2,3,4 etc. no code shows in insertion point and when saved the following is displayed on page view. * content missing

Can you help?
Thank You
George

I’m getting the following error. I’ve installed an updated verion-any idea what i’m overlooking?
Thank you,
Dan

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/content/54/4409254/html/jaime/wp-content/plugins/page-columnist/page-columnist.php on line 192

Hi
Very nice plugin!
I’m wondering if there’s any way to ’stack’ columns.
I mean have a header, then two columns and then underneath have to more columns?
Paul

I have added “nextpage pagedbreaks” but I still see “content missing” at the bottom of the text instead of text showing up. All the paragraphs separated by “nextpage pagedbreaks” show up in the same page.

What could be wrong?

(I use WP 2.8.4 and the latest version of your plugin).

Never mind. I found out what the problem was. I used “more” instead of “Next Page”. That is why I could not see the change.

But I still have another problem: The plugin sets up the columns from left to right. It means on Right-to-left websites (Arabic/Hebrew, Persian, Urdu) the plugin cannot be used. Is it possible to adda right-to-left support to the options?

HI,

I reaally like the plugin. It works as you told. But there’s one problem for users, which uses the Wordpress own “Press this” .
I use it a lot and discovered that the 3% marges don’t come with press this. It will go to zero%
I do not know how to change this so I always have to do the article twice to get the 3% back.
Could you have a look at it please?

Hello! I have the above problem, is it possible to have an empty page /just to have the subpages in columns/?
And if so where do I have to put the nextpage into the child pages or in the empty parent page? THNX

I love your plug-in! But, I am unable to get the preview assistant to work and I want to use it to adjust the column widths. Is there another way to do this since the assistant is not working for me? I have the cForms plugin which I see from a previous comment is the likely cause of why the assistant is not working. Any suggestion to get around this so I can specify the column widths?

I use the Atahualpa theme, and I just installed this plugin. I love it, except at the top of each column this shows up: PHP_EOL. Do you know how to get rid of this? I’m new to wordpress, so I’m not sure if this is an error or what. I’d appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks!

I’ve tested the plugin with WP 2.9.1 and it work wonderfully. Should you ever consider to employ gettext for a multi-language version, I’d be happy to supply the German translation.

Please help. I am using the Page Columnist plugin, and really like the column features. But the “% column default spacing” keeps resetting to 0%, which messes up my pages. How can I make sure this does not change once it is set?

thanks
philip

This doesn’t seem to work on a “links” page using a theme that provides a links template. To display links on a page with this template, one simply creates a page and applies the links template to that page.

Should it work? Perhaps it only works with static pages.

Hi, for some reason when I’m previewing my page the Assistance tab at the top isn’t giving me a save button so I’m unable to save my changes. Any suggestions?

This plug in is excellent, by the way!

Thank you!
Teya

I’ve used Page Columnist on several sites and it’s a great help for styling. The interface is one of the best I’ve encountered. But recently I’ve noticed a problem in which the Column default spacing % reverts to 0% on all posts and pages if a post or page is deleted on the blog. Obviously, it’s easy to reset the default, but I was wondering if you had heard of this occurrence and if you had a solution to it. It’s been happening with WP 2.9.2.

Thanks,
Scott

This is simply awesome. Very well made and extremely user-friendly while being very functional as well.
I have one issue however. I’ve used a column spacing of 5% between two columns. It works fine and everything looks great, but a few hours later, the column spacing disappears!! and the column gets garbled up. Any ideas on how something like this happens??? I’m lost for an explanation!

Regards,
Ritz

Hello and congratulations for this great plugin
I can translate it in french but I haven’t any .pot for do that. Feel free to send me it by mail and I’ll send you the french translation

The plugin works perfectly since i deinstalled my event calendar plugin. Now i have another problem: on the mobile version (wptouch) of my site the columns still exist. does anyone know how to disable the columns when used in a wptouch theme?
Best regards
Marc

It’s a wonderful plugin, with just one oddity: the default spacing between columns is constantly reverted to 0% once I’m logged out. I’m not quite sure yet whether this could be caused by any other plugin or not. Is there a way to hardcode that 3% default spacing somewhere?

First of all, thanks for this great plugin!!

But I have a problem with the Assistence at Page Preview. I followed the 3 steps mentioned by you in the comments, but still can’t get it working. I need it to set the width of the columns.

I use Firefox, WP 2.9.1 and tried it with disabling other plugins. I use TinyMCE which I didn’t disabled, afraid too lose some content :p

I hope you can contact me by mail for some support.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Heiko,

I installed your plugin and it worked great, until I installed some bad plugin for embedding movies. Since then, the columns don’t appear as they should in IE8. Everything looks great in all other browsers and as said, it looked great before installing that other plugin. I tried everything, but I can’t get it fixed.

This page shold have 2 columns:
http://www.du2s.nl/contact-boekingen/

And it does in FF etc. I have reinstalled your plugin, I have reinstalled the theme, but no go. The weird thing is, that when I activate the default WP theme, it DOES work in IE. Do you have any clue where the problem might be? It’s drving me crzay

Cheers, Ben®

Hello and congratulations for this awesome plugin
I’ve translted it in french today, feel free to download this translation for next version here : http://www.wptrads.fr/page-columnist/

Keep the pressure!

Is it possible/how do I define a width for my columns rather than it being automatic?

thanks

Will

Hi, a much anticipated update. I tried updating the plugin to the latest version on a 3.0 wp install but it doesnt seem to work. like no columns on the page at all. I’ve tried it on a couple of development sites too, same issue. Also, when i upgraded the plugin on an old site i couldnt get the column spacing to change at all, on a fresh install i didnt have that issue though.

Greetings, thanks for an awesome plugin. Version 1.6 worked nicely but 1.7 not working at all.

Can you add some advice please.

Craig

Hallo,
ich nutze seit längerem das Plugin mit Freude und bisher ohne Probleme. Mit dem neuen Update jedoch scheint ein Problem zu entstehen, indem bei seitenspezifischer Deaktivierung des Plugins (bei „Seite bearbeiten“ im Backend; Wordpress 3.0, TwentyTen Theme) im Frontend keine Seitenumbrüche / Reiter zum klicken mehr dargestellt werden. Hm, vielleicht blöd ausgedrückt, also nochmals versuchen:

Habe ich beim Schreiben einer Seite den „nextpage-Tag“ (denke so heißt das) eingefügt und in den Plugin-Optionen für die Page „WordPress - Nächste Seite (Standard)“ aktiviert, so gibt es nicht wie vor der PluginAktualisierung im Frontend den Reiter (keine Ahnung wie das tatsächlich heißen mag) für die nächste Seite zum klicken, sondern die Seite wird fortlaufend dargestellt.

Habe das Columnist testweise deaktiviert, dann funzte es wieder mit dem Reiter. Kann also m.E. nur an dem upgedateten Plugin liegen?! Falls ja, fände ich es klasse, wenn der Fehler beizeiten beseitigt werden könnte. Hier mal ein DemoLink (www.belcantoteacher.com), zu der Seite eines Freundes, wo es bisher immer gefunzt hat (z.Zt. ist das Plug wieder aktiviert dort, aber auf der verlinkten Seite nicht, denn genau dort sollen die Reiter „1,2,3 Seite“ nach dem Textseparator -Bild sichtbar sein, ist aber nicht).

Habe auch testweise eine völlig neue Seite mit mehreren „nextpage-Tags“ erstellt. Die Plugin-Optionen wie oben beschrieben. Wiederum taucht der gleiche Fehler auf. Wie gesagt, wäre schön, wenn … (mich der Autor überhaupt versteht -:)). Könnte ich hier ein Bild mit posten/uploaden, wenn ja wie? Das würde die Sache vielleicht einfacher erklären.

Lieben Gruß an den PluginAuthor.

I love this plug-in, it’s exactly what I have always wanted to do.

I get the content missing as well, I left it that way in case you wanted to check it out.
Also I noticed in the instructions that I am supposed to get an extra column in the page admin page. I only see the same columns. tite/author/ comment and no type of page is there. Does that have something to do with my issues? I have the latest wp.

My question about the missing content is; First I have correctly numbered the sub-page I want as a column, do I need to insert that under the page break? I mean, do I make one continueous page, breaking where I want the columns to start? Or do I create subpages that don’t display the parent page in the page editor section?

I really want this plug in to work, but I am very inexperienced with php/css/html/ etc… your plug in is going to make me look like I know what I ‘m doing if I can get if figured out. Thanks.

Kevin

Hi there, I’m having trouble splitting pages up into two column and three column with a footer. It’s my Contact and Options page. Any ideas?

hi, this is a great plugin!

i have just one problem. I need to get the content of a page like this:

$page_data = get_page($dummy=14);
$content = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $content );
echo $content;

unfortunately page columnist ist not working anymore. other plugins do. is there a simple solution to aply the columnist function?

thanks a lot!

Hi there

Superb plugin! I have been looking for a good theme that would support my static site, but this plugin has made that need disappear and is making my life so much easier. I am currently creating the site, will take about a week or more to finish it, but when it is it will look as it does thanks to this plugin. Superb work!

Federico

It’s a great plug-in, and it certainly makes the front page look a lot less “bloggy.”

Thanks for this great plugin, it is really wonderful.

I still have few questions / bugs:

#1 How can you style the columns to make their height the same, take a look at my link and you will understand the problem. In your lorem-ipsum example you didn’t style the columns and all of them do have the same width.

#2 How to you keep track of bugs, new features, patches? I did not see a component added to the tracker at http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/newticket - can you ask the admins to add and promote the link to the tracker?

#3 This is an interaction bug with the visual editor: it did happen to me as several times to get the column break inside a paragraph … some…. … . The result was not pleasant at all, it break the page and I had to manually repair this. Do you know any workaround for this issue?

PS. Please use a tracker, comment fields on blog post are not each to follow.

Thanks again,

Great plugin - Thanks!

For some reason, when I resize the columns in the preview view then save, after I publish the page the column falls back to the default width distribution. Any idea why this might be?

Thanks

Mark.

Thanks for Great Plugin !!!
Yes it works perfect but I have one question about the location of Page Columnist.

If I have many users on write, I think they will confused with that cause of Page Columnist’s location.

The default location of Page Columnist is main right location as you know and with Open.

How Can I modify it default locate with bottom location and with closed ?

It will be very helpful to me.

Thank you very much and Sorry for poor English. (I’m not native English.)

Best Regards,

Casey

This is the thing I was looking for months!!! I love its simplicity and functionality, the plugin right fits in my need to create pro-look navigation pages for my website. Thank you for this nitty little plugin!
Got one question though (Maybe a bit foolish to ask, but I m just a Wordpress newbie) :
When I chose Wordpress-Next Page (default) style, and used 2-columns, the 2 pages (exactly speaking 2 sub-pages under the main page) automatically splited into 2 pages with navigation buttons at the bottom. Of course I can select
page 2 by clicking the navigation buttons, but I want all the contents stay in one page so user dont have to bother to click, they can just drag and read the whole page.
Is it because the text length is too long so plugin decided to split the content into two pages?
1. Is there a workaround or sth to put all contents in 1 page no matter how long the text is?
2. I m alright with the navigation button things, but can you just tell me how to delete the PAGES text before number 1 & 2? I looked into plugin document but there is no such thing like stylesheet.css, can you tell me what
codes I need to delete and where I can find it?
Many thx and best regards!
If my new site attracts more customs coming I will be more than pleased to donate!

Das ist mal was gescheites. Bin vom Wp-D Forum hier her gekommen. Wieso postest Du das nicht bei all den hundert Leuten die das täglich im Forum suchen? Ist ja grandios! Super Ansatz!

Hi,

I am also having trouble to see the assistance preview. There is only the top of the yellow bar which appears, then I can’t save the size of the columns… Is there another way to modify the column width? I have tried with several browsers but the problem remains the same…
Thanks,
regards,

Realy good plugin. I love it.

How can I use it with custom post types?

Hi @codestyling, many thanks for that great work. I wonder if you have got any developement version we could test regarding custom post types compatibility. If not, can you give us some advice of where to look in your code to start hacking it?

Perhaps this is a bit late, but I tried the plguin with custom post types and it works perfectly.
The only thing I did was to declare my custom post in the “page-columnist.php” file.
Search for the keyword “post_type”, and each time add your custom post.
For exemple :

I have a custom post named “dossier” (I’m french)

Old code :

if (count($type) && ($type[0]->post_type == ‘page’ || $type[0]->post_type == ‘post’)){
switch($type[0]->post_type) {
case ‘post’:
return current_user_can(’edit_post’, $id);
break;
case ‘page’:
return current_user_can(’edit_page’, $id);
break;
default:
return false;
break;
}


New code :

if (count($type) && ($type[0]->post_type == ‘page’ || $type[0]->post_type == ‘post’ || $type[0]->post_type == ‘dossier’)){
switch($type[0]->post_type) {
case ‘post’:
return current_user_can(’edit_post’, $id);
break;
case ‘dossier’:
return current_user_can(’edit_post’, $id);
break;
case ‘page’:
return current_user_can(’edit_page’, $id);
break;
default:
return false;
break;
}


Hope this could help someone.

Anymay, I think this plugin will help me save a lot of time in creating special columns templates.
Thanks !

My html knowledge is limited, and i am using this plugin as cms for my directory. My home page displays 8 major categories with the subcategories appearing in 4 columns under each of the 8 major categories. I created 8 different pages to do this as this provided me with the separation among the major 8 categories that I needed.

But initially I wanted to put everything on one page. But I don’t have the html skills or is this even possible to do this? I was trying to create 8 header 1 or 2 titles for my major categories and create the subcategory columns under those titles but couldn’t figure out a way to start new columns under the header 1 or 2 titles on the same page . So is there a way to start new columns under header 1 or 2 titles within the same page or post instead of creating a new page or post to get the separation of categories? Hope I made myself clear enough?

I simply cannot get this plugin to work, what am I missing? The Preview doesnt seem to work at all, i noticed it mentions above there may be a conflict with other plugins, so i deactivated everything, still didnt work.

Then theres the coloumns, it seems to be breaking the page into 2 coloums, but will only display text on the left site, on the right side coloum it simply says “* content missing”

I am using the latest WP, is the plugin compatatble with it?

Any help you could give would be much appreciated.

thanks

I’m getting the same problem. Here is the link: http://www.razorbladecentral.com/blog/
I get * content missing . Not clear on what I need to do to have two columns.

Thanks in advance

I’m trying to use the plugin on a site at alabamabusinessdirectories.com/ to create 3 columns, and it works fine in FF, but in IE 8 the columns disappear and there’s just one column. Can anyone spot what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

This plugin is really powerful. Unfortunately it conflicts with my use of Markdown http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/ and basically renders Markdown markup non-functional. That is, Page Columnist works but interferes with Markdown rendering as HTML properly). Since I believe this is not intended but by some design decisions, it may be considered a bug.

I, like a few other people, am wondering if there is a way to alter the width of each column without using the Preview Asssitance. For some reason, this function is not working for me, I am using the Angronoid Theme (http://www.paddsolutions.com/wordpress-theme-argonoid/) so maybe this is blocking it?

Either way, is there a way to alter the width some other way, possibly with CSS?

Getting some kind of odd conflict between this and jQuery on WordPress 3.0.3 - if the plugin is enabled, I get jQuery errors - notably in admin where I first noticed it - when I disable the plugin the admin pages work properly again - any ideas what is causing it?

I just installed this and I’ve been trying to get it to work, but one part that’s missing is on the Pages overview, I don’t get that column on the far right.

any idea how to fix that?

Downloaded, installed it, works in admin but nothing happens Created a page with 2 subpages, chosed the subpage as collums choice at the parent page but the subpages are still displayed in original wordpress way. Have PHP 5.2.x version and latest wordpress. What could be wrong?

Hi,

Is it possible to change the width of the cspc-column blocks. As it stands they are set to 341px.
My 3 column content is basically centering itself which is fine but the gap between content it too large thus causing the content to ho outside of my content border.

It seems to be filling to the wrapper width.

any help would be great

thanks

I have a page, that shows post from 2 categorys. About 30 posts.
I want to split them in different columns with this pluging. Is that possible?

I like it! Though: i have longer articles which I want to shorten so i tried do add the -tag on my page with 3 columns, but that doesn’t work - or am i wrong?
Thanx

Using your columnist plugin on a site, and I am getting slow admin page updating response times. Any ideas?

Awesome plugin!

Couple questions.

1. Enable Assistance at Preview doesn’t work for on IE or FF. I recall it worked at one time but not since I’ve upgraded to 3.1

2. Also column spacing appears different for IE and FF and I’m not sure why

Here’s link to site in progress:
http://anesthesiapmc.com/new

Thanks!

I disabled the 3.1 admin bar and can now see the Assistant.

Still now sure why columns spacing is wider in FF than IE.

Thanks!

hello.
Let’s start with the usual congratulations. Bravo, great plugin that works perfectly!
By cons, impossible for me to get the visual assistant. I read all the posts unanswered. could you help me?
I am with the theme wordpress3.1 swissdesign. I tested in Safari, chrome, firefox 4 … but nothing works! therefore impossible to resize the columns as I want.

It seems that with version 3.1 , the little menu “Page Columnist • Assistance” in yellow that appear on the top of the preview page, does not appear anymore. The theme used was Twenty Ten, preinstalled with WP 3.1

I deleted the whole WP dir and installed version 3.01 , the little yellow menu “Page Columnist • Assistance” appears fine with all major browsers, then i did upgrade to version 3.1 inside WP dashboard then again no more Page columnist assistant at the top of preview page, with the latest versions of Opera, Chrome, Firefox and IE7

Only plugin installed and active are TyniMCE and Page columnit, inactive plugin is Askimet.

Hi,

I have a question about an error I am seeing since I’ve upgraded to WP 3.1. I am no longer able to use the admin widget on pages/posts. The menu does not open up for me to use the columns, this is on a multisite installation as well. Any thoughts on why and how to correct this is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi
Page columnist preview isn´t working at all in Wordpress 3.1?
Tried with several themes, but nothing shows up anymore.
Can I change the columns width without using the preview?

i love it, it should be standard in WP!

You can ignore my last note. Just checked the css and it seems the answer is yes. I updated it to drop it beneath the admin bar and all is good.

However the % space does not see to work. I want a 60/40 split but when I select 60% the 2nd column ends up a 800%!

Hello, how to give different sizes to columns? Is it possible? Thank you very much

PC 1.7.2 not working with WP 3.1.1…

“Preview Panel” is not working…

Hi, I have been using your fantastic Page Columnist for a few months now and it is brilliant. However I have one problem that has appeared recently. When I preview a page, the assistance area and ability to resize columns does not appear anymore at the top of the page. I am using WP 3.1.2

Can you tell me how I can make it work again?

Thanks,

Paul

I am running my site under WP 3.1.1 and you said about page columnist (that i have just installed) that
“If you have not enough sections defined, the output will show you this using the red text “content missing”. Please write more sections to fit the sub page or just insert enough nextpage separations.”

I d’ont want to make next page but just insert 3 sections for my trhee columns could you telle me How?

Thanks for great plugin. I really digg it!

For design reasons I would like to make the third and last column less wide compared to the first two.

How can this be achieved? I can’t override the css for id cspc-column-2

Many thanks

Thanks for the plugin, very easy to set up and use. I am using it to create 2-column layouts and I would like to set the columns to have different widths, either in pixels (say column 1 @ 425px + column 2 @ 200px + margin of 25px); OR in percentages (say column 1 @ 65% + column 2 @ 30% + margin of 5%).

How can I make this work?

Thanks!

OK. That was much easier than I first realized. I can now customize the widths at Preview with Assistance. Very cool. Thank you.

Is there a way to set these custom widths as a default? So I don’t have to redo it with Preview Assistance each time?

It’s a great plug-in, and it certainly makes the front page look a lot less boring

Hi,
i really appreciate your work with this plugin and like it =)

But is it possible to make more than just one row?
I need several rows splitted each in 3 rows, is that possible??

Thanks for the plugin =)

Hi,

I have encountered a problem with the plugin, and I can’t seem to find a way to fix it. I’ve divided a page into three columns, at http://bit.ly/resHB6. The three columns display perfectly in Chrome and Firefox, but in Internet Explorer (version 9) the middle column is pushed below the other two. Could you please advise on how to resolve this? I’ve spent days trying to fix it, but nothing has worked.

Thanks.

I’ve been working with this plugin for 3 months. It’s a great page splitter, but the column default spacing is a nightmare, it constantly bounces back to the default 3%. Not going to bust this guy’s balls over this though, apart from that small niggle this plugin is great and does the job,.

I really do have the same problem as Jan.
I want to include one page content in another post like this:

$page_data = get_page(14);
$content = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $content );
echo $content;

unfortunately page columnist isn’t active here, so i do not get my 2 column layout.
is there a way to apply the pagecolumnist functionality to this too?

sorry, pasted wrong code, this one is the right one:

$post = get_page($id);
$content = apply_filters(’the_content’, $post->post_content);
echo $content;

hello

Hello!
Great plugin! Only the question arose: Is it possible to insert a column between vertical and horizontal lines? I would be grateful to her what would help.
(P.s.: sorry for my poor English language skills)
Thank you in advance.

Great plugin!!! Many thanx. Hope my client pays me something at least so I can donate a little

Had troubles setting the width. My client wanted alternating columns to have color background. I used #cspc-column-1 and 2 and so on to set the background. But then a padding was needed to make it look nice. As soon as I added the padding I guess the width calculating algorithm got confused and found there was no enough space for my three columns. So it removed the last one.
I couldn’t find a feature to set the column widths manually. I don’t think it’s a big change to the plugin.
What I did (I usually try not to :)) I edited page-columnist.php and set the total width to be calculated from 100% to 94%. These 6% where enough to leave enough space for my padding.

Also a suggestion to further development.
It would be nice to be able to split not only to columns but to rows as well. And let the user set the spacing between the rows. It would be cell-like structure, which will give users even wider options for a layout. All the groundwork you have already done

Thank You again. If I missed how to set the width of the column manually, please kindly reply.

Hello I found your plugin which I found easy to use however I am struggling to make three columns in one page with “next page” link to follow on. Can anyone advise me please? Thanks

When i click at the yellow top it doens’t slide down..
How can i fix it ?
I know the probleme is my theme WP

Thanks

Thank you so much for this wonderful plugin. It made my life so much easier! But I am wondering if it’s possible to have have two sets of multi-columns in one page? so something like two columns for first half of the page and three columns on the other half of the page? I would love to have that…. please let me know. Many thanks in advance:)

Ditto.

Also, Page Assistance at Preview is not working for me.

Just a follow up on my previous comment, maybe a way to use ‘First Sub Page as Header’ but than the header can be divided into two columns?!

Is this plugin still in development? I notice it hasn’t been updated in some time.

Hi,

I found your plugin really interesting. However it seems it is no longer working with the latest wordpress 3.3.1. I have created a master page and two child pages. Yet the master page doesn’t show the sub pages as column.
Is there a chance to update this plugin?

Many Thanks,
Houman

I may have missed something in the above. Do I have to use a 2nd program to get the Plug In to work? I have installed the plug in, I have ticked the layout I want to use (i.e. First Sub Page ad Header).. Now, it is the next step I think I am missing. I can start writing my text…but not sure what to do to tell the text that I want it to NOW go in the next column? Should I write it in HTML and add the Next Page Tag as you reference? I tried this, but my text never goes to the next column. When I review in “Review Page” I can see where it says * Content Missing…so not sure how to get my text to the next column. This will also be an issue when I go to add an Image in each Column??

I have question. We would like to use this plugin for creating a wedding directory so it will obviously it will need columns. However once installed I am assuming it won’t necessarlily default all of our “pages” to column view, correct? As we only want certain pages to do this and not affect the others on our website.

Sorry for this…but I am a bit confused on how to get my text to go from One Column to the next. I am, of course, working in Wordpress, and have already installed the plug in. I have First Sub Page as Header…but I can type in the top column…but can’t figure out how to get to the next column. Above, you mention TINYmce but not sure if I use both programs…to get the columns to work in my Page Post on my Blog? Any assistance in that part?

seems like it works with firefox but not with chrome…. ? in chrome they just under each other…

hi, this add on is great, but i cant seem to put any content in the 2nd collum, any help please?

I am using the sub page option but am unable to add to the second sub page
thanks

Hi, i just notiiced what sub pages were haha sorry, is there anyway to not use sub pages but just have 2 collums as i dont want there to be sub pages just 2 collums thanks

I’m wondering if it is possible to have one page of text automatically divide into two columns evenly? I’m building a site for a client who wants to be able to have a large amount of text on a page or post, but does not want wide lines of type. I’m a print designer by trade and in InDesign it is easy to create multiple columns of evenly balanced text. I have not found a way to do this with WordPress.

If there is a way of customizing this plugin, or my page.php file, or some other way, I would love to know. Thank you. Deanna

Hi, great plugin!!!
but it doesn’t work for me.
I make my template starting Twenty ten template and I work with wp 3.3.1, when i see all list page I’ve not the column with column image (like in you page overview) , but I’ ve it in articles list.

Thanks!!!!

Hi, awsome plugin! Is there a way to get for example 2 columns by deault in all posts without need of setup this manually. When i post by iphone app i cant setup this setting so thats why i need it on all posts. Can i change something in the code to ge it on all posts? Thanks!

Hi, is there a way to change the default setting if you want standard columns throughout? cheers

Hi quick question,
I don’t seem to have all off the above options to customize the width of the columns like you should be able to do in the ‘Assistance at page preview’
when i click on enable column resizing and save nothing happens and it’s not giving me and drag options as displayed in your screenshot above.

Can you help? I’m not very code savy

Thanks

hi,

same problem at my site: preview assistance doesnt´work, column-width counts down to zero per click, afterwards there is no change possible anymore. I´m using WP 3.3.2, firefox 13.0

best regards
ll.

Just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for this brilliant plugin.

I already have a few pages I need to ‘rejig’ as I’m changing the site layout. And with the prevalence of TFT screens now, multiple columns seem far better aesthetically than one very wide one. So up till now, I’d been achieving columns with tables (too lazy to work out how to do them properly I guess).

Anyway, within five minutes of downloading this plugin, I had two posts looking really good. On the third, which I wasn’t quite so keen on the look of, I discovered the plugin’s preview / edit function. How cool is that? It’s fab! Well done!

PS … Just realised your comment box says “can use these tags” not “may use these tags”. Well done! I’m on a personal crusade to get ‘may’ and ‘can’ used at the right times. I do this because it’s an alternative to having a life.

Hi. I’ve been googling for ages but I couldn’t find out.
and I can’t remember how I set up this… Please help me.
My website is http://ryanonit.net
I have 2 column blog and you can see that I have 2 posts in one column next sidebar.
[post1][post2]|[sidebar]

I’d like to change to to show just one post instead of 2 posts
[post1]|[sidebar]
[post2]|[sidebar]

I can’t remember how I changed that into 2 posts.

Would you please let me know where I can change this setting.

Thank you.

I am trying to figure out how to change the left margin for “Pages: 1 2 3 4…”. I am using the ‘Wordpress-Next Page (default)’ option. I would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks

hi,
Hum … did not work for make columns …
Yes i use well the configuration of the plugins ( one for 2 columns for me ) .
Yes i add in my template the …

So … “content missing” !!
Sorry but lost of time, i go now to change in code the template directly …

oki i do it myself, only with 2 div , with custom css …
no need more plugins

Hi, great plugin, I was wondering how I can edit the default settings? I’d like to use this on a client’s site so they don’t have to change the settings each time. Thanks

Hello Heiko
Thank you very much for this great plug-in. I have a question. I set the percentage column width to zero (0%). It pops back to 3%. The user who changes the page content says he didn’t change the setting. Could it be that the percentage for some reason pops back to 3%? Thank you!
