In reply to: Easier way to list items?I wasn’t aware there was a save/restore feature. Where did you find that? The developer is one of those typical morons; ask a question and wait for years for an answer. And if he doesn’t answer or thinks the question is too much (or is just too lazy to answer) he just deletes the thread.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Everything was changed. The whole theme went back to it’s defaults (theme settings, all the code files, stylesheets, etc.). Some pages, widgets, and the menu system were effected, too.
I have saved the whole 2010-Weaver folder to my desktop so I have a backup of the theme files at least.
We would love to have a more user-friendly theme, but like I said I don’t know much about code and having to “tweak” a whole new theme and try to deal with its developer is such a pain. I make WP theme designs myself, but I would need a coder to implement it and neither Barb nor myself have the money for such a thing.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Mark,
On my client’s web site she is using the 2010-Weaver theme. The last time I updated this theme it changed everything on the site back to it’s defaults and I had to spend a couple days putting stuff back the way it was.
Now there is another new update to 2010-Weaver, but I am loathe to do it again after what happened last time. I was wondering if you had any suggestions to make this an easier experience?
I’ve asked in the Weaver forums about this, but I never got a response from the developer and today I noticed he even took down the thread with my questions in it. Not a good sign, but I don’t know anything about code and so we are kind of stuck using this theme.
I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions you have.
Thank you 🙂
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Dynamic Widgets] [Plugin: Dynamic Widgets] Widget Doesn't UpdateI didn’t set any options. I just installed the plugin and started using it. I guess it takes a while to update, because today the widget shows what I typed the other day. I think this may be the theme I’m using, too. I have the Twenty-Ten theme and it takes other things a while to update (code, style changes, etc.). It may be a flaw of the theme itself, not the widgets.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Mark, thank you for the help (again). Appreciate it.
I changed the PHP in the first part that you provided and did a test post. It seems to have fixed the thumbnail size problem, but the image and details do not line up correctly.
Oh wait – nevermind, lol. It’s that stupid “edit” link. That’s why it wasn’t lining up. Sorry about that.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Thumbnail Size: 150 x 150
Medium Size: 300 x 300
Large Size: 1024 x 1024As for reproducing all you have to do is click “set featured image” and follow your own steps, then when it posts the image isn’t thumbnailed, but at it’s regular size. I have to crop the image myself and upload it to get it the size we want.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?There is a radio button at the bottom of the featured image screen to choose a thumbnail size, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried it and the image still comes out at it’s regular size. I have to make the image the size I want in Photoshop first, and then upload it to her site in order to get it at the thumbnail size it’s suppose to be.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Hi Mark,
My client is very happy with what you did for her. She’s been having a great time making ferret posts. The only odd thing is that when she picks the featured image, sometimes it doesn’t re-size it and it ends up being posted at it’s regular size. Did you write some code for the featured image to be thumbnailed? I was thinking you did.
Thanks for everything 🙂

In reply to: Easier way to list items?I just meant basic styling, like borders, colors, what not. It’s not really a big deal, unless my client wants something styled. But I think it looks fine the way it is for now.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?I sent some instructions along with a screenshot to my client so she can start using your procedure to add her ferrets. I linked her to your video so she can see how to add the images. I added a few myself last night and they look great. The only question I have is where do the ferrets go if you click “yes” to adopted? Is that already coded into this setup to produce a separate page? If so how do we find it?
Nevermind, I figured it out. They go to that second template page you had me create for the “adopted” ferrets, doh!
It all seems to work pretty slick. I don’t think we need to worry about the styling, unless you want to tell me what elements I need to find in order to style the two pages.
Thanks! I’ll let you know what my client thinks once she’s tried it out.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Awesome. Thanks, Mark. I got it figured out now. I’ll contact my client and tell her all about this. Goodnight.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Hey, that’s neat. So those were pagination numbers, eh? Is there a way to set it so that more than two posts appear on a page?
Nevermind, I figured it out. I changed the number of pages in the PHP file to 4.
Forum: Hacks
In reply to: Easier way to list items?I’m not sure I understand about the numbers. Is that something you have to change in the code?

In reply to: Easier way to list items?I got rid of the gray border – it was in her theme’s sylesheet for “alignleft”.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Here’s a link to the ferret page: http://hide-e-hole.com/ferrets-awaiting-adoption/
As you can see there’s two empty entries with just numbers, at the top and the bottom. I have no idea what is causing this or where they are coming from. I only posted three ferrets so far and only two of them are showing.
It was fine a while ago, but then it started acting funny and one of the posts disappeared and the extra numbers appeared at the top.
I went in and deleted a field entry then added a new one and used the move arrows to position them. I’m wondering if this is what screwed up the posts.
