Installation
In order to get this puppy to work follow the steps described here:
- Uncompress the downloaded archive in [WordPress install root]/wp-content/plugins.
- Activate the plugin in your WordPress plugins control panel. The plugin should show up as ‘grf-Dilbert’ in the list of inactive plugins. Just click the ‘Activate’-link on the right.
- Go to the « Appearance » section, and select the « Widgets »-subsection.
- Add the « The Daily Dilbert »-widget to the sidebar. Do this by clicking on ‘Add’-link behind the item named ‘The Daily Dilbert’.
- Position the widget within the sidebar. You can simply do this by dragging the ‘The Daily Dilbert’-entry on the right side of the panel and and dropping it between the other widgets where you want to have it positioned.
- If desired, enter a custom widget title by selecting the « Configure »-button and changing the title.
- Click on the « Save Changes »-button on the page.
- Edit your styles.css of your active template to tweak the presentation.
FAQ
- Did you make the flash-thing?
-
No, the flash object was made available by United Feature Syndicate. I just made the WordPress implementation. Silly UFS forgot all about WordPress.
The flash object can be found on http://widget.dilbert.com/
The flash object comes with its own Terms of Use.
The license of UFS is included in the plug-in source. - How do I modify the style of the widget in the sidebar?
-
Like any widget in your sidebar you can modify presentation by using the ID « dilbert ». Modify the style.css in your active template:
li#dilbert { /* your css directives here, eg: « text-align: center; » */ }
- How come in step 2 ‘grf-dilbert’ is already in the activated plugins?
-
Because you were doing an upgrade and forgot to disable the plugin before you did so, you naughty boy/girl.
- This plugin is cool, can you make something similar for …?
-
If you have requests feel free to mail them to me (contact me through my blog: http://www.greftek.net/blog).
Please do take into account that a comic needs to have some sort of feed in order to make such a plugin. It can be done without a feed (with scraping), but such a technique is high maintenance and prone to breaking. Aside from that not every artist appreciates such methods, so I don’t make them.
