In reply to: Customized front pageI’m not really into coding the loop myself either… there is a plugin called ‘Customizable Post Listings’ that makes this a lot easier – see http://www.coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/#customizablepostlistings

In reply to: One of my categories is brokeHi Beel, yeah I tried this already thanks … but all the rest of my pages start with a lowercase letter… it’s bugging me that this one starts with a cap now!!!!
I’ve also tried deleting the whole category and creating again, and have checked via phpMyAdmin that there’s nothing wrong either.

In reply to: One of my categories is brokeSo now i’ve just realised that http://www.deirdre-edwards.co.uk/Exhibitions works, but http://www.deirdre-edwards.co.uk/exhibitions doesn’t.
Weird cos the slug of the page is definitely ‘exhibitions’….

In reply to: One of my categories is brokeStill can’t fix this, can anyone help?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: One of my categories is brokeThe blog is installed to the root. However my category base for permalinks is set to ‘/..’ which means that all categories are listed directly under the root; /news or /exhibitions instead of cat/news or /cat/exhibitions.
Interestingly changed the slug of Exhibitions to exhibitionss seems to have fixed the problem – http://www.deirdre-edwards.co.uk/exhibitionss – although I can’t leave it like spelt like this it seems to be a temp fix.
Hmmm

In reply to: Latest Post on Front PageSyni, did you work out how to fix this yet?
I have exactly the same problem – when viewing http://www.deirdre-edwards.co.uk/index.php only my static content shows up, whilst http://www.deirdre-edwards.co.uk/home shows only the result of the loop…
I think I’m going to plump for Kaf’s #2 solution first… as usual I’m finding the whole loop concept confusing.
EDIT. Cheers Kaf, it worked =) =) =)

In reply to: Have a 3 part title? (do i use custom fields?)Ah ok I see, that doesn’t sound great. I would probs like to have an overview listing by title/location/dates which you could then click for the full article, that might be harder using this plugin, unless you could set the position of the more tag cleverly somehow. hmm

In reply to: Have a 3 part title? (do i use custom fields?)Hm ok, why is that bad? Are there any other extensions that do it the other way?

In reply to: Have a 3 part title? (do i use custom fields?)Seconded, Structured Blogging looks great, really nice way to add some leverage to the basic post setup.
Is it possible to reconfigure it slightly to have different fields? I need to have set a start and a finish date… hmmm… I’ll have a look anyhow…

In reply to: Post editing plugins WYSIWYG, Wysi-WordPress,TinyMCE, Image Browsers ?TinyMCE + Enhanced Simple PHP Gallery can be made to play nicely together I’ve just found. The only downside with ESPG is that it saves descriptions to a text file, and not mySQL.
Here’s what to do:
1. Install ESPG http://www.quirm.net/showcategory.php?categoryid=12
2. Set up an image directory, and a sub-directory in ESPG. Eg: images/holiday
3. Now you need to integrate ESPG into WordPress. I’ve not done this yet but see http://www.quirm.net/show.php?contentid=11 for full instructions on this.
3. Install TinyMCE, and activate.
4. Now you need to configure TinyMCE’s Image Libray to look for your ESPG image directory. Open iconfig.php (it will be in your WP plugins folder – wp-content/plugins/wysi-wordpress/plugins/ibrowser) and set $imagedirectory to the same relative directory of ESPG. So in this case $imagedirectory = “images/holiday/”;
5. If you have more than one sub-directory in ESPG, see http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=808 for details of how to link them all up to TinyMCE by repeating step 4.
6. Finished, I think. When you insert an image using the yellow ‘ibrowser’ image button in TinyMCE, you should now see your ESPG folder in the dropdown menu at the top, and be able to insert images directly from your ESPG gallery.
7. What’s more, if you upload an image at this point using TinyMCE, it will be automatically saved to that folder, thus adding it to your ESPG gallery at the same time. You can then go into the ESPG admin page to give it a name and description.Phew…. hope this helps someone, I have spend days trying to find a solution for WP that works nicely. If the above is useful I might try and write it up properly and repost.
Or could someone help me make a plugin that combines all of the above!!!??? That would be sweet =)
I got it working v. easily. Nice! Although it takes just slightly too long to load for my liking, is there anyway to speed it up by stripping out unused options?
AND I just managed to hook it up to my install of Enhanced Simple PHP Gallery, so you can insert images from each gallery using the dropdown library menu in TinyMCE. (See http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=808 for info on configuring this library option).
Looks promising, and it means my Mum might be able to update her own website!
