In reply to: [Visual Form Builder] 6 text fields in the same rowSimple as you’ve already placed the 6 text fields in a section.
Give your section a css class, maybe something like “one-sixth”.Then add the following in your style sheet in either the Form Design (Enter additional CSS rules) or your own stylesheet, whichever is easier.
.one-sixth li {float:left; clear:none !important;}Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Visual Form Builder] Text fields side by sideShort answer is ‘Yes’.
Depending on what you mean by side by side.
If you add 2 text fields and arrange them by their Field Layout to Right Half and Left Half, they will be side by side.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: changing the order of pagesHi christine311,
It all depends on how and where you want to display them.
You can arrange them in any order you want, such as dates, title, menu order… etc
http://codex.wordpress.org/User:T31os/get_posts#Order_parametersHere’s how you can put in a query post to achieve the result.

In reply to: New to WordPress, A choice to be made!Hi hunnsdon,
Here are some links which may help with your questions.Q1: How you update your server with updates, how does this work if you’ve built many sites with WordPress?
This can be done automatically, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Automatic_Update.Q2: Can it compete professionally with Joomla if you are, or want to become a website creator? Are there enough modules, plugins, etc?
As you’ve mentioned, WordPress is much simpler and takes 5min to install. WordPress starts off with the basic blog style website organised by posts assigned to categories and tags, and the user is able to add and custom the templates and plugins as needed.
Joomla is more robust with more features available straight from the start but it takes alittle more understanding on how the site is setup. Joomla is organised by articles assigned to categories which are assigned to sections. Depending on the size of the site and the functionalities you require, both cms are very well-supported in terms of modules, plugins, templates… etc.Q: Should I not bother, continue to use my editor/ WYSIWYG bite the bullet and learn XHTML and JavaScript?
It depends on the individual preference. As most CMS are fairly easy to install, you can set up a site more quickly than setting up a WYSIWYG editor then adding the customed scripts you wanted. But in a way or so, you may have more control of what you can set up for your clients if you use your customed WYSIWYG editor.Q: Are there any good DVD’s or books out there for you to learn from?
Wordpress has a number of reccommended books located on their site.
http://wordpress.org/about/books/Hope these info helps with your decision.

In reply to: Mobile Compatibility – why does no plugin seem to work?No worries,
I thought that you wanted the mobile version to look different from the actual site. Something which I’ve created for my client recently: http://www.indigenous.gov.auThe mobile version seems to work for andriod and iphone mobiles, but not tto sure if it work on other mobile devices as well.
Cheers,

In reply to: Mobile solution to my blog?or something from this discussion can help.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-page-for-mobile-phones?replies=3Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Mobile solution to my blog?You can just use the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/txtu-is-mobile/ plugin to detect the mobile browser.
Then add the following code to your header to redirect the page.
<?php if (is_mobile()) { ?> <!-- Add the number for content="1 if you want the redirect to last longer --> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=m.mysite.com"> <?php } else { ?> <!-- do nothing --> <?php } ?>Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Redirect Mobile Theme Page to Other URLHaven’t used WPMS Mobile Edition before, but there should be a way from the filters http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpms-mobile-edition/other_notes/ to set certain condition when a mobile browser is detected.
All you need is to set a refresh meta in the header for the conditions as set above to redirect the page when a mobile browser is detected.

In reply to: is_iphone documenation?A plugin I’ve used is txtu-is-mobile:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/txtu-is-mobile/I’ve used it to call different stylesheet in the header.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is_mobile-how-to-add-functions-for-mobile-version?replies=1Still waiting for feedback but nothing so far..

In reply to: disable / hide plugins on smart phonesNot too sure if this plugin is suitable to what you need.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/txtu-is-mobile/I’ve used it to call different stylesheet in the header, but may possibly work if the plugin you need to hide is available somewhere in the header you can call upon..

In reply to: Mobile Pack white box problem.You may just make some changes to you stylesheet or header by adding the
visibility:hidden;ordisplay:none;for your style sheet media “screen”.Otherwise see what you’re able to change from the plugin editor.

In reply to: Mobile Compatibility – why does no plugin seem to work?Hi pazza,
I’m able to view your site on my andriod phone.
What do you mean by your site doesn’t seem to work on a mobile device?
Is there a specific mobile device you’re looking in, or should the mobile version should look differently from the mobile site?Hi justinbyrne001,
Rather than reinventing the wheel, why not use something that has already been developed?Here are some plugins which should be able to do what you needed.
For your forms creation, see:
Contact Form 7 – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/For your form data collection and displaying them, see:
Contact Form 7 to Database Extension – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/There should be a solution to what you wanted but I guess that it may be just as easy to find out what’s out there already.
Hope it helps, 🙂
