Hi Kenji, thanks for the fix. I just removed the /blog/ part from your plugin and all good as you recommended. It still wasn’t displaying in Internet Explorer that well but when I changed .currency-converter-fieldset{width:160px to .currency-converter-fieldset{width:180px all was good but doesn’t look as nice in Internet Explorer. Can you make it 180px on the next version? I still can’t work out how your plugin is effecting my footer style. Might be your css conflicting with my themes css?

Cheers
Tim

Sorry for the late reply.

I think I have found the reason why the background does not shows up.
The path to the background is set to “/blog/wp-content/plugins/yaacc/textfield_bg.gif” which is not the right path for your setup as your wordpress install is not under a blog directory.

You can solve the problem by editing the plugin files and remove any reference to /blog/

I will try to find a way to make the plugin work for any kind of installation.
Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Kenji,
Thank you for fixing the background the conversion is working now. The background picture still isn’t working http://www.gadgetsdirect.com.au/wp-content/plugins/yaacc/textfield_bg.gif and I think I have it in the correct place. When I activate your plugin the footer doesn’t line up with my main page. Also in IE7 your plugin looks a bit crazy. I am using this theme http://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/freshy2/ The formatting is fine on the default wordpress theme but I still don’t get textfield_bg.gif displaying.

Cheers
Tim

Sorry for the troubles you had with my widget.

I have tweaked the backend. Now, it should work without any modification on your end.

As for the background not showing, could you tell me which browser are you using and the page where you are using the widget?

Thank you for making this plugin. I have install the plugin in the correct folder but when I run it a smiley face appears for the date then when I change the currency the smiley face changes to Update or Reinstall. The background around where the user enters the current amount doesn’t display. I am running WP 2.5.1.

Cheers

I tried deactivating the old version, deleting, and uploading and activating the new. For some reason, it says under the second line ‘Reinstall’, and it won’t do any conversions. Check robertastephens.com for what I’m talking about. I made sure to not change ANY code on the new upload.

[lang_fr] Je viens de mettre en ligne une nouvelle version de mon convertisseur de devises en Ajax pour Wordpress: Yet Another Ajax Currency Converter (YAACC 0.9.3). Correction de l'option pour le titre du widget. Ajout de la vérification du numéro de version et de la source. Mise à jour requise: les anciennes versions de YAACC ne sont plus compatible avec le service web donnant les taux de conversions. [/lang_fr] [lang_en] I have uploaded a new version of Yet Another Ajax Currency Converter (YAACC 0.9.3). Fix for the title option and a minor bug. Added version and referer check. Upgrade required: older versions are not supported by the backend anymore.

I can’t seem to figure out how to get the widget title to show up in my sidebar. I saw you left a place in the code for it, but I’m not sure how you intend it to be implemented.
