  • BTW, I’m on 1and1.co.uk and can verify that mod_rewrite is on.

    Try the following:

    .authorcomment{
    width:100%;
    }

    It’s a relative positioning bug but I think this should fix things.

    erm if I remove that then my actual highlight won’t work, which kind of defeats the purpose no? 🙂
    🙂 The earlier comment wasn’t meant to be a final solution but a step along the way.

    However, it would still mean that there’s still a border around your comment, which acts as a differentiator and you can use the following for non IE browsers:
    li > div.authorcomment{
    background: #e7fbfa;
    }

    Would you believe removing the following from your css will do the job:
    .authorcomment {
    background: #e7fbfa;
    }

    Now we need someone to tell us why the hell IE borks when that is left in.

    Very nice looking site!

    There are a lot of very good designs coming through. Whatever happened to the good old days of animated clip art, blinking text and garish colours. I’m going to need another redesign to keep up with what everyone else is doing…

    blahblahblah,
    RSimpson has explained his reasons. Let’s all move on. This is a support forum and not the place for flames.

    RSimpson,
    That seems the right area. However, it’s not going to be a simple process as you’re going to have to deal with sub-categories which is otherwise easily handled by unordered lists. Unfortunately, you’re going to need to rewrite it significantly. I’d be tempted to start from scratch and roll your own function based on the sql query for wp_list_cats.

    Thanks for the reply. I guess my reaction was a bit hasty and that I’m guilty of the very thing I was eluding too. Now that all is well in the world again, let’s get back to our regular programming:-)

    It’s an environment issue. I suspect that the web host needs to setup Apache to properly parse and execute php files. See POSTnotallowed

    Oops, looks like I misinterpreted what you said… my brain shuts down in the afternoon:-)

    Clean, minimal and functional. Very nice!

    There is going to be a big difference between the theme and the style. The style can easily be altered any which way.
    Ahh, that’s probably where our work deviate. My theme provides the whole look and feel whilst the work you’re doing will be a framework for multiple styles.

    As I’ve mentioned on probably far too many occasions, I can’t wait to see your official release and have a look at how you’ve done things.

    I’ve got a horrible feeling in my guts that whoever does know the answer to this simply isn’t answering because they think I’m using tables in the wrong place which is just petty. I AM DESPERATE TO GET THIS OPEN AND I NEED HELP FINDING THIS CODE GUYS! PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT!
    The way in which you’re asking the question doesn’t exactly make people want to help you. The people on this board work here for free and want to try to provide good advice. They’ve posted alternatives to what you want to do and you haven’t provided a single reason as to why they’ve been so utterly rejected. Instead the attitude has been one of rudeness and a belief that everyone needs to give you exactly what you want when you want it.

    Now that we’ve got that out of the way, what you want can be found inside template-functions-category.php under wp_list_cats.

    Please try to learn some humility in future. Everyone will benefit.

    my choice is to avoid conditionals where possible
    I fully agree. I only use it once to retrieve a different background image. The design functions equally well without the conditional though.

    You can also use the is_home() conditional switch to detect if you’re on the home page.

    So, are you saying you started out with a 2 column theme and redesigned the home.php or the index.php to show 3 columns?
    When I was experimenting, I basically hacked up a two column theme into a 3 column one.

    However, when it came to doing things correctly, I broke up my work into two distinct phases. In the design phase, I started from scratch, and designed a 3 column theme based on CSS floats. No presentational style to speak of at this stage; In fact, it was butt ugly with the most garish colours you could conjour up. I do this because it’s easier to see where each component lies. This would be the home.php

    From this I transformed this layout into a 2 column one (fairly easy as I’d always had this in mind). This is used outside of the entry page. It is only then, that I styled up the elements i.e. fonts, backgrounds, colours etc…
    The other phase is the code phase. This is where I had to think about how things would be glued together and how I would do things such as the shorts, latest features and older posts. I had to make sure that as far as I could, I wasn’t duplicating unneccessary work across pages.

    The bad (good?) news was that I wrote it from the ground up and not from an existing theme. Whether you do the same is a judgement call on your part.
