Yea a warning or default = no change to my interface would have saved me a mini heart attack. I thought I botched something with the upgrade!

Whew.

I’m building a ‘daily special’ plugin for exactly this purpose. Should be ready soon. I’ll post back with a link once I do.

!cheers!

I wanted all my ‘teasers’ to look the same on my front page whether the posts have <!--more--> tags, custom excerpts, or none at all. So I wrote the following code:

<?php
/* Continue Reading Stuff */

function my_continue_reading_link() {
  return ' Read the rest of this entry »';
}

function my_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
  return ' . . .' . my_continue_reading_link();
}

function my_custom_excerpt_more( $excerpt ) {
  if ( has_excerpt() && ! is_attachment() ) {
    $excerpt .= my_continue_reading_link();
  }
  return $excerpt;
}

function my_the_excerpt() {
  if( has_excerpt() ) {
    // Post has a custom excerpt
    return get_the_excerpt();
  } else {
    if( strpos( get_the_content(),"class=\"more-link\"" ) ){
      // Post has <!--more--> link
      return the_content( my_continue_reading_link() );
    } else {
      // Post does not have <!--more--> link
      return get_the_excerpt();
    }
  }
}

// Init Filters to make it all work
function read_more_filters() {
  add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'my_auto_excerpt_more' );
  add_filter('get_the_excerpt','my_custom_excerpt_more');
  add_filter('the_excerpt','my_the_excerpt');
}
add_action('after_setup_theme','read_more_filters');

I’m working on a twentyten child theme that uses a jquery drop-down nav and am struggling trying to add a class to the surrounding ul element in the main navigation. If I first define a primary navigation menu, then wp_nav_menu() is used to generate the list and I can easily filter it like this:

function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = '' ){
   $args['container'] = false;
   $args['menu_class'] = 'sf-menu';
   return $args;
}

Problem is, when twentyten falls back to using wp_page_menu, I can’t pass the arguments I need to get what I want.

Any ideas how to remove the surrounding div and add a class to the ul nav element?

Thanks.

I got it working this morning (probably about the time of prev post) by systematically turning on/off all js scripts. My enqueue_the_scripts() function is pretty much this:

wp_enqueue_script('script1','path/to/file',array('jquery'));
wp_enqueue_script('script2','path/to/file',array('jquery'));
...
wp_enqueue_script('scriptN','path/to/file',array('jquery'))

and the lightbox came alive when I commented out the enqueue for the theme’s easing script! Coincidentally, I guess I wasn’t using it anyway.

Thanks a lot. You’re right, I don’t need that call anywhere except the home page. I’ll fix that, too. Can’t find it now, but after reading another one of your posts here, [99% of the time its another js breaking lightbox] I was able to narrow it down. Thanks again for such an awesome plugin!

Okay, I think I’m gaining on it:

I noticed for my theme that does not work with lightbox, theme-specific scripts are instantiated with script tags (no php here) and then dumped at wp_head like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src= ... </script>

I changed themes back to the one that worked with lightbox, and noticed that theme-specific scripts are called with wp_enqueue_script.

I’m kind of a php and jQuery n00b, but I’m thinking I need to tweak my broken theme use wp_enque_script instead. I’ll make a backup, change things up, and check back after I do. Meanwhile, any suggestions? Am i on the right track here?

Have you looked at your admin panel: Settings >> Discussion ? Is Enable threaded (nested) comments checked?

Try this:

<blockquote><ul id="PagesAndCategories">
<?php wp_list_pages( 'title_li=' ); wp_list_categories( 'title_li=' ); ?>
</ul>
</blockquote>

You’ll need to style the ul. (could give it the id for the Cat Nav or the Page Nav.)

Hope that helps.
