In reply to: Some people liked the iframe previewRongo,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CODE! I have to say, I think that was the single best core file hack I’ve ever tried with wordpress – I mean, it’s usually these sketchy little phrases with deprecated wp tags, or the line number I’m supposed to edit turns out to be something totally different in my version of the file, or I apply the fix and suddenly my entire site is one neverending parse error…
But not your beautiful workaround! It was perfect! The relevant line of code was exactly where you said it would be, and it was the exact same line, and my long-lost iframe came back to my loving arms immediately after adding the hack! And it didn’t turn my site into a brain damaged, drooling version of itself!
Seriously, you were extremely helpful – Thank you.But anyway, do you really have to PUBLISH the post before you can even see the PREVIEW link? So if you want to save and continue editing, you don’t get a link to the preview? You can’t see how your post will look without making it live? Man, I’m really not getting how this makes the posting process more efficient. But, I suppose I have my wonder-hack now, so I probably should stop nitpicking.

In reply to: Some people liked the iframe previewi’m totally baffled as to why the same-page preview was taken away. does “some people liked the iframe preview” imply that other people didn’t? i mean, it was pretty inoffensive… i never even had to look at it if i didn’t scroll down past the main text box… however, i DID find it extremely useful to be able to hit ‘save and publish,’ and that’s it, nothing else, if i wanted to see how my post was looking so far. it wasn’t annoying like when you change your theme and you have to go back/forth or open a new tab if you want to see your changes. except now it’s *exactly* annoying like that and i really can’t fathom how such an innocuous feature was marked for death 🙁
thanks for the code, though – hopefully, i won’t break it during the cut/paste process 🙂

In reply to: Unwelcome changes to links/blogroll in 2.1If the overall goal was to try and promote an overarching system of tags that applies to both links and posts (which, I agree, assumes too much on the behalf of wp users), I don’t understand why the “blogroll” is still managed separately. It seems like a step halfway to make the category management all in one place, but not the ability to add links.
I tried to go with the spirit of change and combine some of my category tags just for the hell of it, but I couldn’t find an easy way to do it – I ended up with duplicate tags in the Manage/Cats section, instead of a combined listing that counted both the posts and links with said tag. I.E., two listings for the tag “computers,” one row for links, one row for posts. What was the point?
I really miss being able to select a bunch of links and select the category they should all be moved to from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page. I can’t figure out how to do batch edits for links or posts now.
And I’m in total agreement about the use of the word “blogroll.”i’m having a similar problem, but without the clue from my host’s SQL status. everything looks fine on their end, as far as i can tell – although i’m not an expert in this field by any means.
i have three wordpress installations at my domain and a coppermine gallery. two out of the three wp installs and the cpg gallery always work fine. airlocked.org is the main portal to my site, and it’s always been a healthy wordpress baby, never a database error, never any downtime. then there’s my wp baby with the birth defects; airlocked.org/caprica. it seems like about half the time i try to access the site, i get the “error establishing database connection” message, which suggests that my database server might be down or my wp-config.php file might be busted. as far as i can tell, neither of these things are the problem.
i mentioned my cpg gallery because it uses the exact same SQL database as airlocked.org/caprica, but it’s never down. right now, for example. same database, but no problems. according to my dreamhost panel, all is as it should be, server status is fine, i can log into my hostname via phpmyadmin, everything seems to check out…
any insight would be vastly appreciated. well, at least for the two readers that occasionally visit that blog. thank you!

In reply to: Please review Life Coaches Blogcenter column is perfectly centered in my firefox (PC) – lines up with the copy i’ve opened in an IE tab. i’m really impressed with your work – i’m attempting a smilar ‘trial and error’ method of design for my site, and i would be thrilled if mine turned out to look that smooth. good jo!
