well, she was kind of an ass towards the end there, but I’m just weird enough to find that charming.

don’t sweat it Tex, I’ve been up all night wading through crap, so I’m overly playful. Come back soon for a completely different experience 🙂

Are you kidding? You are seriously saying that I should ignore what you actually say and try to imagine what you are thinking instead?

yes, actually I am, because that’s what communication is. If I were to intentionally nit-pick everything you’ve written looking for double-meanings and unintended loopholes to exploit, we’d be here all day error-checking our writing instead of getting on with business.

Come to think of it, it’s now painfully obvious why you’re being such an insufferable pain in the ass about all this. Unfortunately you’re also being hypocritical because your language suffers the same lack of accuracy mine does (only you seem proud of it).

case in point:

Yes, and…? If A is a kind of B, that doesn’t mean that A is the same as B.

Actually, it means that B *is* the same as A, for the broader definition that A brings with it. Get it right.

If you have a basket of apples, and one of them is red… they’re all still apples. Even the red one.

Please, nit-picking is for apes… I have no interest in it, so why not just go fix your busted wordpress as this discussion certainly isn’t going to do it.

As far as I can see, in order to keep your sidebar names in one spot only, you have to pull $pageval up the top there.

So, no it *is* necessary with the code you have… but let’s see… I don’t really think you need that top section, and now that I’ve had a coffee I’m prepared to say it 😛

does this still work?

function eval_page($pageid) {
 $eus_page = "Default"; // Set the page type as default
 while ($pageid) {
  if ($pageid==20) $eus_page = 'CLC';
  if ($pageid==34) $eus_page = 'Community Link';
  if ($pageid==11) $eus_page = 'Recycle Scotland';
  if ($pageid==12) $eus_page = 'Stepping Stones';
  $page = get_post($pageid);
  $parentid = $page->post_parent;
 }
 return $eus_page;
}

see how you were filling that ‘necessary’ variable? now it just happens a bit later in the while loop unless the match is found before that even happens.

The only other issue I can see is that your body class names now have spaces in them, which I don’t think is ideal. That’s easily fixed though.

You’re welcome by the way, it’s been fun trying to code and juggle other stuff at the same time – I don’t do it very often, so I’m glad its YOU dealing with the fallout 😉

before we get stuck into windows and ms-bashing, lets take a moment to research the actual statistics for security vulnerabilities in linux vs windows (and firefox vs IE) over the last 8 years.

I think its high time we got over windows98 and started addressing the reality.

Wrong, easy to build does not imply that it’s easy to find vulnerabilities.

Bzzzt… sorry, but that’s a load of crap. Those same shortcuts you speak of, make code easier to follow, and hence easier to debug.

It’s completely logical that something simpler to understand is automatically simpler to keep track of.

Useful features and security are not mutually exclusive

You’re arguing against my words, not against the spirit of what I was saying. That’s a tired old forum tactic that I don’t plan to indulge.

Having said that, it (again) holds true that the more code you add, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. That’s true in all concievable cases.

Take your finest example, add another feature, and you’ve increased the likelihood that it will have a bug (and that the bug may be an exploit).

Not bug-free, exploit free.

In the conversational sense, exploits are just a kind of bug.

There is plenty of software on my server that has never allowed my server to be compromised.

That doesn’t mean the exploits aren’t there. I’ve never seen under your mattress, but that doesn’t mean your sticky copy of equine weekly is a secret.

I was kind of hanging out for you to get some joy on this, because I was curious as to what might cause it.

I can’t think its actually related to *all* widgets, it must be something in one of your widgets which is making this happen.

It would be cool to know which one.

I feel parasites squirming around my intestines just thinking about it… I think that’s a sign! 😉

If I thought there was a legitimate credit card transaction among them, I’d seriously consider it.

edit: if by chance you’re not totally joking, I’m curious 🙂
