    this looks fantastic … thanks again Podz

    (nacken on #wordpress)

    I am having trouble too. One blog, on WP 1.2.1 does show the sticky checkbox, but when i then go to view site, i get a big fat DB error on top (and i am the site admin and have all the database rights)

    on a second blog, which is 1.2.2 simply nothing happens, no sticky check box, no errors.

    I have tried to contact Owen, the author, via email and comment on his website, no reply yet. But I guess he is busy.

    I tried to look for alternatives, but the only one i found again directed me to Owen’s website .. that must have been a different name he used initially for the plugin

    oh .. fantastic to hear from coffe2code him/herself!!! Thanks !

    That part

    Recently Commented
    <?php c2c_get_recently_commented(); ?>

    i think i found where i want that … i am having more trouble with the function part … i tried several places in the index.php but it showed up as text … i then wrapped it in <?php ?> tags … did not work either … i’d love to see an example of how an index.php looks like that is using this plugin ..

    thanks

    I read the directions and the authors website … but it is fairly vague about WHERE to place these 2 things … possibly it is assumed that the plugin user fully understands php, which i do not 🙂 Thus my question as to where the ‘function’ tag is supposed to be placed within the index.php … and same with the tag that calls the php command to show up at a certain place

    i will look around in the menu area, thanks again for the help

    Thanks for the help.

    I think the first option looks like what I want. I am just not certain where exactly in my index.php I am supposed to place

    function c2c_get_recently_commented ($num_posts = 5,
     $format = ”

    • %comments_URL%
      %last_comment_date%
      %comments_fancy%
    • “,
       $categories = ”,
       $order = ‘DESC’,
       $offset = 0,
       $date_format = ‘m/d/Y h:i a’,
       $authors = ”,
       $include_passworded_posts = false)

    and then later

      Recently Commented
        <?php c2c_get_recently_commented(3); ?>

    to have this appear underneath my search window and above the archives.
    I have put my index.php as a textfile here http://nacken.com/nackenindex.txt

    any help is highly appreciated

    thanks .. that kinda worked http://nacken.com/xindex.php

    but it is somewhat messing with the archive links on the right side .. hmmm …

    if i just wanted to get rid of the Links … i just delete the
    <?php get_links_list(); ?> ??? right ? will test that

    Wow .. i did not even know that an analysis like that exsist … i just may give that plugin a try, once i’ve solved a bunch of other tech probs … but looks like great work !

    I am running into the same problem … I have comments off as much as possible … on the main page view there is no comment link anymore … but when you select a single post, it has a commet link, which is inactive (which i knew how to get rid of that too)

    if i rename / disable the wp-comments-post.php, would I do any damage to the site? is that a way of getting comments off? like naming it ‘commentspamsuckswp-comments-post.php’ ?

    thanks nightmayr …
    I think I am still to far to even remotly try something that hands on …
    so .. so far what i did was learning the magic of doing a second blog, using the same SQL database … and it lives at nacken.com/dj and i can edit it web based … and sure, it has not all the fun automation ideas i saw mentioned here …
    I think i’d be happy enough if i accomplish the following 2 steps …
    nacken.com/dj should look like http://nacken.com/dj/index.php?p=4
    meaning .. each day it displays the post of the day site with comments and such …
    and what was the next thing i wanted ??? .. hmmm
    oh yeah .. previous / next buttons to switch between days … i read some stuff .. but could not really find a solution …
    Thanks again
