^ this was one of the first things I searched for when I first used wordpress and it seems that there are many others doing the same.

delFUEGO,

the code structure would be something like this:

<?php
$children = mysqlquery();

if children == 0 {
//DO NOTHING!
//Maybe add some text here?!
} else {
//Your original sidebar code would go here.
}
?>

You would need to run the query to see if there were any children of the page.

Next, you would use an if statement to determine the outcome. The easiest would be to say, if the number of children ($children) = 0, then do nothing, in all other cases, run the sidebar menu script.

I have the mysql query somewhere, I just can find it! when I do I’ll post it here.

Oh, and please excuse my coding as I’m still new to php and wordpress!

there’s no WYSIWYG editor for editing something like that because it’s controlled by the CSS file.

It may be possible to use a program like topstyle to make the changes, which has a small window that vidually shows what changes are being made to the CSS. you could then replace the stylesheet with your edited version.

alternatively, if you know the hex value, you need to change the following value:

background-color: #xxxxxx;

to whatever you require. it appears about 40 lines down in the stylesheet I’m using and you can edit it by going to Presentation > Theme Editor and then choosing Stylesheet from the links on the elft.

are you saying that you require a rich text editior? If so, there’s a setting within WordPress to change this.

If you click on the “My Account” button (top right) and scroll to the bottom of the page, you can toggle the rte on or off.

hope that helps.

I think this is the code that you need. I’ve used it to pull posts to a different page:

<?php
$insideitem = false;
$tag = “”;
$title = “”;
$description = “”;
$link = “”;
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
if ($insideitem) {
$tag = $name;
} elseif ($name == “ITEM”) {
$insideitem = true;
}
}
function endElement($parser, $name) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
if ($name == “ITEM”) {
printf(“<dt><b>%s</b></dt>”,
trim($link),htmlspecialchars(trim($title)));
printf(“<dt>%s</dt><br><br>”,htmlspecialchars(trim($description)));
$title = “”;
$description = “”;
$link = “”;
$insideitem = false;
}
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
if ($insideitem) {
switch ($tag) {
case “TITLE”:
$title .= $data;
break;
case “DESCRIPTION”:
$description .= $data;
break;
case “LINK”:
$link .= $data;
break;
}
}
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, “startElement”, “endElement”);
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, “characterData”);
$fp = fopen(“http://www.bunker.test/wordpress/?feed=rss&#8221;,”r”)
or die(“Error reading RSS data.”);
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))
xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))
or die(sprintf(“XML error: %s at line %d”,
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
fclose($fp);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
?>

You can always just asign the default template to the ‘other’ page and create a new, empty template for the homepage (or the other way around)

thanks carterco! I’ve been searching for something very much like this over the last few hours.

works exactly as I need it too!
