In reply to: Multiple authors assinged single postI’m somewhat of a n00b when it comes to using categories w/ parents — if I create a category called “reporters” with each person as subcategories within that, is there some way to have each post’s description section (the part that says “this was posted [mm.dd.yyyy] by [author] in categories [cats]”) to treat a certain type of category differently?
as in, could it also display something like: “this features contributions from [all categories that are children of the “reporters” category, separated by commas]”?
I know this involves a call to “the_category( … )”, but I don’t think that allows for any selection of categories. is there another solution?
thanks.

In reply to: Multiple authors assinged single postI’m interested in seeing a solution here as well – I run a college radio station’s local news show, and each post that contains a podcast has contributions from 3-4 different reporters. I’d like to set up a way for people to sort posts by author, but this would only matter if I could assign different reporters as having authored one post.
Maybe there could be some kind of hack involving categories here? I haven’t been able to figure one out though…

In reply to: upgrading multiple installationsI guess that’s what I’ll end up doing as well — uploading the whole thing into each folder.
My first question about WP2.1.x upgrades remains open. Doodlebee, are you still on 2.0.x installations, or at some point did you go through and run the (more complicated) upgrade steps for each installation to get to 2.1? Does anyone else have experience with that?
We don’t use SVN or anything like that because the server is (for the time being, at least, as our blogs have very low traffic) entirely local on our own Mac OSX 10.4.8 Server machine, so the actual unzipping, overwriting, etc. is quite simple.
I dread the moment when one of our blogs gets linked to from somewhere very popular, gets thousands of hits quickly, our server goes down, and we have to move hosting for the blogs offsite. (Actually, it’s the moment of the first upgrade I have to do via FTP after we move to another host that I dread. But you get the idea.)
