In reply to: Easier way to list items?God bless your heart. My client will certainly be singing your praises for sure. She’s at a ferret function this weekend and I told her I’d try to find an easier way for her to handle the ferret entries. Well, looks like you did it my man. Excellent job.
I’ll mess around with it tonight and I look forward to getting it set up on her site tomorrow.
Thanks!

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Thanks, Mark. Now that I’m inside I’m not sure what to do. What should I be looking for so I can make this work on my client’s site? Going by your list above I’m not sure where to put those codes.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Wow, that’s amazing! I can’t thank you enough for the time you’ve taken to do this. Awesome. I found a plug-in called Easy Post Types that basically enables this whole function, but I’m leery of adding another plug-in to the site.
How do I send you my email addy?

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Doh! I was putting it on my server, lol. It has to go in the theme folder on my client’s server. Good grief. I need more sunlight on my brain. Ok, so I put it in theme folder on my CLIENT’S server and now it appears in the drop down.

Ok, so now that I have a basic PHP page I’m assuming I need to build the page with HTML and stick it in the middle section of the PHP file. I’m wondering now how this will make things easier for my client, because it’s just a page like all the other pages on the site. I guess I’m missing the magic here.
I read a bit about custom post types and that’s where I got hopelessly lost. I will just wait until you come up with something.
Thanks.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?There was one tutorial that said to create a PHP file for your new page and save that to your server (in the theme folder). I did this, but when I go to choose that file in the Template drop down it isn’t there. In fact, the only thing that does appear in the drop down is a One-column template that came with the theme, and that’s it.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Well, I’ve found that creating a page template is a little too involved for me. I’m not a coder and most of what I’ve found suggests I have to create the page myself in HTML. Oh well, thanks anyway.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Mark, thanks for the help. I sure appreciate it (and so does my client). Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to do any of those things. Hopefully I can Google for how to do most of them, like creating a page template, custom post types, and custom fields.
I’ll search around and let you know if I find any instructions that help.
Thanks, Mike! By the way, I made a donation. 🙂

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Ah, nevermind on that post editor window size. I found this here.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Ideally what she would like is something a lot easier to use, instead of having to paste new divs for each ferret and fill them in using the text editor. She hates the editor window because it’s so small; every time she makes a change or updates it takes her right back to the top of her post and she has to scroll back down to where she was.

In reply to: Easier way to list items?Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. Each ferret is contained in a bunch of divs that I wrote myself, styled in the CSS. I can then copy the divs and paste them again and again on that same page so she can fill in the details of her other ferrets. I have no idea how to make a template or how to create my own custom fields.
Ok, thanks. What are some of the things that were updated? I’m just curious because I’ve updated the plugin about three times now.
Mike,
I see SI Contact has went through a couple updates. Have you added this feature yet?

In reply to: 3.0.1 Stuck in maintenanceipstenu, thank you for that info. How do you make a child theme?
