    I’m still on 2.0.3 for that site. The only change I made to get it to work was to change wpurl to url. I also changed the name of the file to toolber_button.xml in a failed attempt to get my old button to automatically pick up on the new one (it would need to appear in the root directory but appears in wp-content) and adding the base64 image in was purely aesthetic. But if you follow the tinyurl link above you’ll find that it works!

    Got it working. I swapped out wpurl with url in the plugin everywhere I saw <?php bloginfo(‘wpurl’) That could just be because of how my blog is set up. I also put the logo in manually. Works great! Thanks!

    I’m trying to get it going. The function file_put_contents seems to already be taken by something else. I tried changing it to file_put_contents_toolbar but I’m having trouble regardless and I’m not sure if that’s the cause. Also, do you know what could be done to put a custom image in there somewhere? I remeber having to use this site to translate the image into code in order to include it in the MT plugin: http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp

    Regardless, thanks a lot for developing this!

    Oh yeah, here’s where I have it installed (it’s the little Add to google toolbar link near the top. The one below is for the old toolbar. http://tinyurl.com/yklcge

    EDIT: I manually added my logo to the plugin. You might want to add a link to the image processing site I posted in your site!

    Thanks for your opinion.

    For those who do like having the option, anyone do a full comparison?

    Wow! Cool. Thanks!

    Yeah, that’s what I mean.

    I “fixed” it by cross referencing the wp_posts, wp_categories, and wp_post2cat columns in PHPMyAdmin and changing them manually but that is a huge pain in the ass. Anyone have any insight into this?

    Thread Starter buskerdog

    Hmmm… that’s interesting. But is there anyway to sort by name but display the description? Or is there a more verbose loop that can achieve a similar thing to wp_list_cats but allow for more customization?

    Alright, I pulled the .htaccess additional content from another site of mine and now it works. How come WP doesn’t tell you what you need to add anymore? That’s insane.

    EDIT:
    this is what was in there:

    # -FrontPage-

    IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

    <Limit GET POST>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    </Limit>
    <Limit PUT DELETE>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </Limit>
    AuthName http://www.MYDOMAIN.com
    AuthUserFile /home/tag/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
    AuthGroupFile /home/tag/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

    and this is what I added:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    It’s running on Linux. And the .htaccess file is there but I haven’t edited it since WP didn’t give me anything to add to it. I feel like WP 2.03 used to give some stuff to add to .htaccess when you changed the permalinks but newer versions don’t. Is that correct?

    Anyway, I changed to the default presentation and edited the permalinks to what I want. Now it gets an error message when selecting categories but it’s not my WP 404 error. It’s just a blank screen with:

    Not Found
    The requested URL /wp/category/gallery/category/ was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Jeez, why can’t I figure this out? I want to use images to link to the subcategories and I want to alphabetize by last name. All this would be fine if I could just put URLs to the images in the category names. I’ve been looking for where I might be able to hack that but I can’t figure it out…

    Thread Starter buskerdog

    (@buskerdog)

    Found something. In wp-includes/classes.php under function handle_404() if I comment out
    $wp_query->set_404();

    it doesn’t send the category to 404. The only downside that I can see is that it does the same thing for any category/XXXXX url (ie fake category urls) but then is that really a problem?

    Thread Starter buskerdog

    (@buskerdog)

    Also, there’s nothing in my category template or my header that passes the user off to the 404 page when there are no posts. Here’s what I have in the category.php:
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    stuff

    <?php else: ?>
    <div class="post">There are no entries in this category yet.</div>
    <?php endif; ?>

    It must be happening somewhere in some WP file…

    Ok but please don’t quote the actual URL. (thinking of Google) I also hesitated to post it because the site is such a mess of code styles that it doesn’t validate. Updating the code to the modern era is a project I need to save for a really rainy day.

    Here’s the main page: http://tinyurl.com/j6fxn

    And here’s a cat (category/africa) that I want to show up with no entries but that doesn’t show up: http://tinyurl.com/f9taw
    I tried putting a dummy post in an africa subcat earlier and the page appeared.

    I didn’t explain properly (although thanks for that info)

    I’m not using WP_list_cats for this blog because the menu structure is convoluted and carried over from a different pre-WP site. Basically the menus are hard coded in HTML. I know, I know, it’s a mess. Basically what I need aren’t the lists to list all cats (I don’t think I’m doing any dynamic listing anywhere) but for the actual category pages to appear. Right now if I direct my browser to http://www.domain.com/category/mycat and mycat doesn’t have any posts I just get the 404 page. I want it to build the page and then just not list any posts.
