In reply to: 2 by 2 table layoutthanks for the help!
the limitation for 120 characters in the reload function is 120 words! so taking it down to something like 30 makes the blogs shorter.
it works fine with hemmingway bright.

In reply to: 2 by 2 table layouthi moshu and sadish,
thanks for all your help.
i have figured most of my issues and i’m just finalizing my layout with the_excerpt_reloaded plug in.
unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work.
i have edited the index.php of the hemingway bright template and replaced the_excerpt with the_excerpt_reloaded. this was the only change. however it is not limiting the lenght of my entries. (i replaced it once before the_excerpt with the_content and this worked fine!)
i have activated the plug-in (i deactivated it for a test and i got an error message on the index page that it cannot find the function).
i left all settings as they were. my text is longer than 120 characters…
what else?
i do not know what went wrong.
sadish, perhaps you have tried to implement this plug-in already.
again, thanks for any feedback.

In reply to: 2 by 2 table layouthi moshu,
i have worked around the frames almost. i think i can live without them.
i have an old page that i developed in php, but it is not offering the ease as more and more friends are joining my “blog”… and not everyone knows how to handle some of my scripts (well things that i have put together…).
one other thing. how can i make an excerpt shorter?! i found the the_excerpt() function but i understand that i cannot use any parameters in this function. where do i limit it for example to 200 characters?!
thanks again for all the help!

In reply to: 2 by 2 table layouthi moshu,
looks pretty much what i need.
just need to get pictures incoporated in the blogs on the index page.
if i want to have the header and the bottom in an frame that should not be too much of an issue. or is this more than just changing one or two files in the template?!
haven’t really deared to look at it. i have basic knowledge in html. i’m just afraid of the links as i have to reference them for which frame to apply for!
any comment on this?! anyone!?
thanks,

In reply to: WP2.0 – Picture Uploads – Scaling Issueshi there once again…
i’m still puzzeled by above bug.
if i read the code right as described by mattanderson it says:
if the picture is smaller than 3*1024*1024 (i.e. 3 megapixels) then go forward with creating a thumbnail, if it is larger, then ignore this part.
and it seems to work exactly this way. if i upload a picture with less than 1 mega pixel then i get a thumbnail. if i upload pictures from my 5 mega pixel camera i do not have the option for thumbnails.
so far i have not changed the inline-uploaing file.
first of all it makes no sense to me that larger pictures are not ‘thumbnailed’… loading time will just increase and the traffic as well. not to mention the cost associated with it…
having a 5 mega pixel camera and thinking ahead i would like to make sure that any picture is thumbnailed. so first thought is to take out that if sentence and have every picture thumbnailed. but i do not want to mess too much with the code so i followed mattanderson’s example and put a =< 10 in there to ensure that any picture with less than 10 mega pixel gets a thumbnail.
this is the error message that i get after uploading (and not picture)
Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): ‘/homepages/41/d38948753/htdocs/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/PDX12.jpg’ is not a valid JPEG file in /homepages/41/d38948753/htdocs/blog/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 714

any help is more than welcome!

In reply to: WP2.0 – Picture Uploads – Scaling Issueshi there,
i have done the steps that mattanderson describes two replies up…
but no luck.
any ideas?! i’m using a 5 mega pixel camera. but no matter what i use in the line he is referring to it does not work.
with =< 5 it does not affect it and even if i use < 1 does not give me the desired thumbnails.
any other bugs known?!
thanks,
