Tip Jar
Installing
- copy the 'presentationtoolkit' directory to your 'wp-contents/plugins' directory.
- Activate the Presentation Toolkit in your Plugins administration page.
- Install and activate a Presentation Toolkit compatible theme.
- You will now see a menu for the Theme (and possibly it's skin) in the 'Presentation' menu.
Using the Presentation Toolkit in a Theme or Skin
- In the 'functions.php' file for your theme or skin add the following:
if( function_exists( 'presentationtoolkit' ) ) { presentationtoolkit( array( 'option1' => 'Text for Option One', 'option2' => 'Text for Option Two', 'option3' => 'Text for Option Three' ), __FILE__ ); }
You will now have an admin page for your theme or skin.
To access your theme or skin options simply use get_theme_option('option') or get_skin_option('option') respectively.
You'll find the format of the various options at frenchfragfactory.
Send me your theme/skin details and I'll add it to the Presentation Toolkit compatible Themes and Skins section below.

I am unable to (de)activate any other plugins when this plugin is installed. I have a fresh install of wordpress and when I delete the folder of this plugin everything else works like a charm. Any idea what the cause of this is?
Hi Anzer,
What version of WordPress are you using? I’m running WordPress 2.1.2 and I just tried (de)activating a couple of plugins and had no problems. Do you see any error messages?
I have the same problem, I alway have to deactivate the presentation toolkit if I want to activate another plugin…
Hi Bernd,
What version of WordPress are you using?
The current version 0.0.4 announces itself as version 0.0.2
Oops. I’ve commit a fix and it will be available for download shortly.
hey Tom,
I noticed that the other fellow have the same issue and I also. I though I could expand on this.
(De)activating plugins.
Wordpress 2.1.3
PTK 0.0.4
Tested it with Seamonkey,Opera,Firefox in a Linux os.
Now the problem seems that once you activate PTk, on can not de activate or activate any other plugins.
opps forgot to add this bit of information
Are you sure you want to deactivate this plugin: “presentation-toolkit/presentationtoolkit.php”?
No Yes
Once you hit yes you get stuck in a loop with
Are you sure you want to deactivate this plugin: “”?
No Yes
Thanks Fogbound, I’ll investigate and find out what’s causing the problem.
Hi Tom,
I’ve just posted a similar comment on the Vistered Little forum. Additionally I have now dicovered that I am unable to change the theme back to the default (which I was going to do in order to test if it wqas the theme causing the problem).
I’ve just release 0.0.5 which will hopefully fix the problem you are having.
Tom,
Same as before gets stuck in the loop.
Hey Fogbound, What version of PHP are you using and on what version/type of web server?
Hey Tom.
apache-1.3.37
php-4.4.6
linux server
tom, sorry if this is a stupid, but i cannot get the tool to work, i uploaded and activated the plugin but i still don’t get the options in the admin page, what am i doing wrong
Hi alex, when you are in the presentation menu, what items appear in the menu below that? What theme is active when you are doing this?
the theme i’m using is citrus
what i see below the presentatiohn menu is
themes, theme editor, skins, skin editor
but even with the other themes activated i can’t access the presentation-toolkit options
Hi Alex,
Check in Plug ins and make sure that the Presentation-tool kit is activated. It does sound like it is not activated.
I am having the same problem. I have just installed the latest version of WP, and the latest Vistered Little, and the two plugins. I’m pretty computer savvy but new to blogging. I have spent an hour figuring I must be doing something wrong, but I don’t think so. I am unable to get Vistered Little options to appear. I trying installing the plugins and theme in every which order.. Am I doing something obviously wrong?
Tom
Update: Ok did a install of WP2.1.3 and PTK in a subdir and now it seems to work there. Going to see what the issue is with the main dir.
Alex:
Are you using Visited little? Unless you are you will not see the PTK unless you follow Toms’ instructions Above on how to make your theme PTK compatible.
Hi Fogbound, thanks for the good detective work, though I still can’t reproduce the problem. What directories are referring to when you say ’subdir’ and ‘main dir’. More specifically where is presentationtoolkit.php located in both these instances?
Hey alex and austin, what version of wordpress, VL and PTK are you using?
I am using vistared little 1.7.3 with the citrus skin, PTK 0.05 Activated! and word press 2.1.2
maybe it’s something to do with the functions.php
i’ve tried with the default and shiny skin also, no luck
same here except WP version is 2.1.3…
Hi guys, I’m going to create a debug version and make it available for you in the hope of finding more information on what’s going wrong.
Hi alex, I think I know what the problem is. Currently you have VL installed at “wp-content/themes/vistered-little-173a/vistered-little-1.7.3″
Try moving it to
“wp-content/themes/vistered-little-1.7.3″
and let me know if that fixes the problem.
austin, can you check if the same applies to you?
FIXED. This community, this theme, you guys, rock!
FIXED. Thank you guys, Tom, great work your doing.
Thanks
I tried to install your Presentation Plugin. Everything went fine until I pasted the html into the functions.php file. Trouble is, you didn’t say WHERE to put it in the file. Please, can someone clarify its exact intended location? I’m html illiterate, but not stupid - just need a tiny bit of help. Thanks!
Hi Guys - Stupid question but again befuddling. With the default skin Im getting black text on black background and nobody can read it of course…? How might I fix this? Thank you, austin
Hi austin, can you send me the URL to you site and I’ll try to find out what’s going wrong.
Hi Dena, you only need to edit the functions.php if you are creating a theme or skin that you want to be configurable via the presentation toolkit. If you are using vistered little, then this has already been done.
Hi Tom,
Could you check out jetsetr.com?
Thanks
Austin
Hey austin, currently you have the shiny skin selected. I’ll need to see it in the default skin to debug the problem.
Doh! Now it is to default skin.
Hey austin, um.. all your paragraphs contain
<span style="color: black">and your text is within those spans. That is why the text is black. I don’t know if the spans are generated by some plugin you are using or simply be setting the font colour to black in the visual editor.I was using “default” color but obviously that’s not a good plan. OK, thank you again for all your help.
i was wondering if i could customize the VL theme a bit more. i’ve changed the star.png and bigstar.png to fit my color scheme, but i was wondering if i could change the font styles (linked text orange, caption blue) to another color.
when i was running the 1.6 version, i did a custom default.css and style.css to fix this but i can’t find where do i have to put those values on 1.7.3.
sorry about my bad english. brazilian guy here.
any help is appreciated!
btw, i love this theme!
Hi Leo, you want to edit skins/default/style.css.php. That’s where the colours for the default skin are set.
Will this work with WP 2.2, which was just released?
I’m also having troubles activating and deactivating plugins, and the skins after activating the Presentation Toolkit Plugin. I have found that after the plugin somehow replaces an “&” with “#038;” entity. Eg. …”432e#038;_wpnonce=…” instead of “…432e&_wpnonce=…”. By manually replacing this manually in the address bar I can get the plugins and skins to activate and deactivate.
BUGS, thank you so much for finding this. It’s been driving me insane just trying to reproduce it. I try to get a fix out tomorrow or early next week.
Glad that I could help! And thank you so much for your great work
Hey tom, I fixed the issue on my site by commenting:
275 // session_start();
…
307 // session_write_close();
from your script.
Hopefully, I’m on the right track.
Hey BUGS, did you get the version I emailed you a few days ago for testing?
Hi there, I’m getting an error after safing the options or deleting the options again:\Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_redirect() in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\wp\wp-content\plugins\presentation-toolkit\presentationtoolkit.php on line 249
Line 249 is calling the redirect URL to the Options page and it looks OK for me but s/thing must be wrong.
How ever, the tool is indeed cretaing a database entry as it should.
This is happening on all of my servers under WP2.2 (I have no older version to test with).
I think I got it. Replacing wp_redirect ($url) with return ($url) and everything is fine.
Also in Line 254 and 257 wp_redirect must be replaced with return.
Hi Frank, it’s a bug I discovered last week. I should have a fix release this week.
is it possible to use it with citrus skin of vistred little 1.74?
I onlye get the skin option menù when I use the default skin.
The point is: I want to have the central column wide, but using the citrus skin.
how can I do that?
Sorry, but the Citrus skin doesn’t have a wide mode.
I found a tiny typo that causes a syntax error in admin_menu():
<!– rsa <p class="submit"><input type="submit" value="Delete Options" onclick="return confirm(\’Are you really sure you want to delete ?\’);"/></p> –>
<p class="submit"><input type="submit" value="Delete Options" onclick="return confirm(’Are you really sure you want to delete ?’);"/></p>
Sorry, forgot to give details:
Version is 0.0.8 and the problem is caused by the backslashes.
thank you!
