Thread: get post id for Sidebar widget

get post id for Sidebar widget

I am about to purchase classipress and have managed to test a widget I developed on a colleagues version. I am having a problem getting the post id from the Ad Sidebar position. It is giving me the incorrect id. The code works fine everywhere else except when I am viewing an ad and the widget is in the Ad Sidebar.

I have tried everything,

global $post;


global $wp_query;
$thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;

$id = get_the_id();

I even have the same problem when I use your custom hook

add_action( 'appthemes_after_sidebar_widgets', 'insert_twitter_link' );

Is it possible to call the post id from the Ad Sidebar? I don't expect the answer until I purchase, but I would need to know that it is possible before I go ahead.

Thanks, Keith

Hi
ClassiPress uses custom post types. So, you should be able to do what you are talking about.

Post Type

Thsi still has to be in the loop. You seem to have the Ad Sidebar outside so this information cannot be accessd.

Hi.
I am sorry, but we can't really help someone to "test" a "colleague's" copy of ClassiPress, as this is beyond the scope of pre-sales questions. We look forward to welcoming you to the vibrantly active "mods and tutorials" forum community.
