Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Advanced theme editor?Bump on this one, I’d like color-coding, line-numbers and keyboard-tab-capture behavior in the theme editor (Admin > Themes > Theme Editor). With my site being on a non-local host now, theme tweaks are more important than ever from the admin section.. and it’s a pain to try and find your place again and again after making an edit midway down the css sheet or to try and use the browser’s ‘find’ feature to locate a specific bit of text in the code being edited.
My greatest pet peeve? Trying to use Tab to insert a 5-7 space indentation in the code, and finding my browser focus has been sent to the next element in the page (classic keyboard shortcut in a browser.)
Still.. Nice being able to edit straight in the browser! Ditto on that plugin/hack thing.. anyone know of any?

In reply to: Pagination being phased out?And by the way, it’s ‘<!–nextpage–>’, not ‘<!–newpage–>’.

In reply to: Pagination being phased out?Ok, there is a support page on paginating posts:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/141927
But to use pagination, your blog template needs to have the wp_link_pages() loop in it, as written here:
I believe the default wordpress themes have this function (wp_link_pages) per default, but of course it can be done by hand.
This plugin looks to be ideal, as it adds in the tinyMCE (post editor) buttons:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multi-page-toolkit/And while pagination links can be nicely stylized by hand and with css, there are plugins to do it for you.
Currently I need to re-do all this myself in my posts, so.. I can’t get back to you on [i]which[/i] plugins.

In reply to: Pagination being phased out?I believe I had to get ahold of a plugin even back in 2.2 for it, but I remember there being a button beside ‘…More’ for splitting up the post into a new page. Even if there wasn’t (and I can always do a test-install of that old version n a fresh directory or ibay, ) keeping pagination out of the core features would be as bad an idea as adding in tags was a very, <i>very good idea</i>.
I think it was a feature to the post-making toolbar back in 2005-2006, so rather many versions back, but I think I can quite understand if they are looking to eliminate confusion between ‘Newer posts’ and ‘older posts’ in the navigation between blog entries. I think hi is mostly a templating and wording issue though, and should not be a valid reason to shy away from the feature/having pagination as a core feature.
Of course the wordpress team has known what they are doing since the very beginning, since <!–newpage–> is something I can easily remember using, since y stories hit the 500kb mark when getting loaded all at once.
Ok, it’s version 1.5 that has a plugin, an old one, called [url=”http://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/2004/05/23/wppaginate/”%5DwpPaginate%5B/url%5D, so that should fit with my time using it – 2004-2005.
But a plugin for 2.5/2.6 I haven’t found… Ah, let’s try the plugin database. post again in a bit.

In reply to: Password protected categoryPublically viewable and accessable category, but password-required, and with cookie generation to remember the user’s password submission. A customizeable failure message, and a text field on the category page to describe the contents of the category and requirements for access. (email form/comment requesting password).
Much appreciated, and much needed for family homepages and other such materials!

In reply to: Template for posts in certain category?Nevermind, I found a plugin for this.
