In reply to: Query specific time period for post to showapplecorps.michaelbriney.com (temporarily)
the lower right corner of the page is a announcement box for who is coming and when.If a second post is made to the category, I do not want it to
a) break the box
or wrap, or scroll
I just want the second, or third or fourth or fifth…(etc) to showmethod to post is:
<td>< ?php query_posts(‘cat=3’); ?>
<!–the Loop–>(etc)

“What is “the most timely post”?
Can’t you just use the timestamp and make ‘future’ posts that will appear on the date you set in the timestamp?”Ok. So I CAN use the timestamp…but how do I make
a) ONLY a single post appear in the (tiny) little window and
b) make just the post that is current to that month or set of weeks show in the window?Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: so close yet so far | exclusions and conditionals semi-static pagesThanks HandySolo.
I went ahead and created one from the “archive.php” file per the codex and I’m still getting the same “error”.
I then created 9 category pages (to match existing categories in Admin = Manage/Categories) each called “category-6” “category-7” (….etc)
Same problem exists.
(I’m wondering if there may be a better way/place to put my conditional calling system maintinence announcements? something that wouldn’t break….)
either way – I’m stuck “trying to get over this wall” for now –
any other ideas? anyone?

In reply to: Can Pllug-in work on a partial static page?“Just watch to have to correct path to the wp-blog-header.php”
I don’t understand – but I’ll take another look.
thanks.

In reply to: WordPress as front page of existing website?“To go to which index file?
Your site’s index file? The WP’s short and sweet? The theme’s index file?
I thought I was talking about the index.php in your root = the non-WP index file of your main site.”sorry. I meant…instead of stripping away the info as you suggest – wouldn’t be easier just to grab the code from the index.php files in a template?

I’m an ardent Mac user and for that sort of stuff I just dropped Apple a letter asking for some css cleanup and then downloaded Firefox.

a) See scenario #1:
transycan.net/blogtest/2005/07/05/integrate/
b) Use the Loop: codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
c) Use a ‘recent_posts’ plugin
d) Use a feedreaderAll kind of options 🙂
Your site demo/tutorial looks promising – but still somewhat confusing…I’ll have to wade through it to see if I understand what you mean when you say…
“clean it up: delete all the text from the NEWS section and keep the rest. The News section should be just a bare <div id=”your-div-name”> < /div> (or a div class, depending on your structure).”
wouldn’t it be easier to go to the “index.php” file? Or do I have the wrong idea?
Also – I have no idea what a ” Use a ‘recent_posts’ plugin” is – or how to implement it…so lets stick with the tutorial you wrote….

In reply to: WordPress as front page of existing website?Dan –
Could you elaborate a bit for me on what the differences are between the Links page and the Page (page)?
What I’ REALLY looking for is someone who can tell me how to take “pieces and parts” of WordPress’s functionality and spread them around a website….
For instance, I designed a site for a MUG (Mac User Group) and they have a small section on the main page where i’d like to show the most recent announcement ((posted in WordPress)) but ONLY the most recent announcement and nothing else on the homepage. inside the site – I’d just like to run a conventional WordPress Site/Blog..
Anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this with Word Press?
