In reply to: [Plugin: WP Private Messages] Any widgets, notifications on web side?Great plugin! I left a message on your website, but I’ll leave my suggestion here as well.
It looks like when we choose a recipient for a PM, we have to choose from the list of users. But what if we have, say 150 users? It could be very hard to find them in the list.
Can you add a way to either 1) type the recipient’s name or 2) can you make the member list in alphabetical order so that if a website has hundreds or thousands of users, they can easily find the name they want?
The suggestion by houseofstrauss is a great one as well, and this plugin is well on its way to being, as far as I can tell, THE PM plugin available for WordPress.
Thanks again.

In reply to: single.php showing multiple postsAre you using a third-party theme, or your a theme you coded yourself?

In reply to: Setting up multi-author blogWell, it’s better than nothing! I would imagine there’s a more elegant solution, we just need someone to notice this thread. 😉
Thanks for that block of code. I’ll give it a try.

In reply to: Setting up multi-author blogI’m not sure I understand what you mean by “…set as the Page Author.” Do you just mean that said author created the page and is listed in WP admin as the author?
I’m not sure that necessarily imparts any information to “the page.” What I mean is, far as I can find there’s no get_page_author() function.
I imagine what we’ll be doing is grabbing author information by ID somehow, but I’m not sure.
This is getting into territory I’m just not familiar with, though I really need to know it soon because I’m aiming for something similar.
Maybe someone else can help us out. 🙂

In reply to: Setting up multi-author blogCheck this out for Pages vs Posts. Also this to get a better understanding of how/when/why templates are called.
Now, I think you’ve got the general idea.
1) Create your author page
2) Create your author page template (perhaps model it after page.php or index.php, because you’ll want to reuse a lot of the code used to loop through posts, and you’ll likely still want to call sidebars, header, etc.)
3) Assign that template to that page in admin
4) Use query_posts() before the loop, and use the function’s parameters to include only the posts you want
5) Use the WordPress Loop to loop through each of the posts and display what you need/want. You could display only a title that would then link to the post, you could display the_excerpt(), or the_content().That’s the general idea for displaying an author’s posts.

In reply to: Setting up multi-author blogAlso, that just lists all the author’s posts. There’s some more work to do if you want to grab the author’s profile info, and I don’t know how to do that yet since I’ll soon be diving into it. 🙂
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Setting up multi-author blogHere’s what I’d do:
Make your author page template, and use query_posts() with the author=” parameter.
Remember, query_posts() should be called just before The Loop.

In reply to: GPL limitationsI’m certainly no expert, but I think Serendipity has it wrong. There are plenty of for-profit sites that use WordPress.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the GPL license also allows repackaging and redistributing, but the redistributed version must be issued under GPL as well (i.e. free, open source, etc.).

In reply to: [PollDaddy] Problems upgrading to 1.0 (fix included!)Thanks. =)
I downloaded 1.0 fresh. When I input my user/password and clicked save, it didn’t appear that it had saved it – the info in each box disappeared and I got no notification it had saved – but I was able to create polls.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Pages display specific categoriesFor each template, you can use the query_posts() function (before the loop) and exclude all but the intended category.
Then just run a WordPress Loop and display the posts how you want. You can probably model the loop after your page.php, just add the query_posts().
This also prevents you from having to create that custom field for all your posts.

In reply to: Home Page Tab not workingAh, stvwlf has a niftier solution. Should have known to let the expert answer. 😉
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Home Page Tab not workingWell, the way I would do it is hard-coding it into header.php. Probably something like this. This probably isn’t exact since I can’t see your code, but it’d be something similar. As far as I know you can’t achieve what you want through WordPress admin, so the general idea is to hard-code a tab in your nav bar that says Passive Income but points to your home url.
<div class="navbarright"> <ul> <li class="???"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="Passive Income">Passive Income</a></li> <!-- the rest of your existing navbarright code should go here--> </ul> </div>The only line you’ll probably need to add is the
<li>line above, the other stuff should be there. You need to use the same<li class="">that your existing navbarright code uses, so replace those question marks.See if it works, if not you’ll need to post the snippet of code from your theme that controls the navbar.

I assume each plugin’s optimization is equal. Don’t know if that’s a good assumption.
