In reply to: return previous / next posts link NOT as anchor?<?php $nextPost = get_next_post(); echo get_permalink($nextPost->ID); ?>yeah, was kind of hard to guess, with a link you have both a URL and a title, didn’t know which one you wanted… went with the title, because that’s what shows with the regular links.
either way, this will give you the URL.

In reply to: Forum-blog helpnot really – wordpress isn’t a forum package.
There are many excellent forum packages out there, which also allow you to pull posts from a particular forum and display them in blog format, so you can have your cake and eat it too.

In reply to: [Plugin: Register Plus] Feature SuggestionsI’d love the ability to pre-populate certain fields (with or without displaying them) based on which invitation code is used.
I want to be able to control the way a company name is entered based on inviting all the employees of a company to register with an invitation code – but I think this would also be useful for many other things, like say pre-populating a (hidden) user profile filed with a percentage discount based on an invitation code… or various other group identifiers.
wishlists are great lol, but you’re just asking for trouble — thanks for the consideration 🙂

In reply to: Syntax Highlighting Pluginsyou can barely turn around without hitting one.
actually, I’ve been using the google/javascript version, but it’s just too damned heavy… gonna go for a GeSHi based solution when I find a minute.

In reply to: Help sought for Webhostingsuggest in the immedaite term, until you get some satisfatory answers to your questions, that you remove xmlrpc.php from your server (keep a copy locally), and set comments to registered users only.
at that point turn off akismet and other antispam plugins (keep any plugins you have which may add captcha support to your user registration page).
note any changes that might become apparent within the first few hours of you doing that.
I’m not inclined to suggest any hosting provider for you based on your current issues, because none of them will be very happy with that. Your best bet is to start ringing (or emailing) around.
is your blog profitable? could you stand to eat into those profits by about $150 a month? if so, you can avoid ever having to deal with the terms “reasonable usage” and “shared” ever again…. but I would suggest trying to resolve your extreme delays first… perhaps by finding the root cause.

In reply to: return previous / next posts link NOT as anchor?so I guess you don’t want the URL, but the title, right?
<?php $nextPost = get_next_post(); echo get_the_title($nextPost->ID); ?>substitute the word ‘previous’ where appropriate.

In reply to: Great fix to stop spammersmay as well turn off comments, as the only people you’d get commenting are idiots and those with no self-respect.

In reply to: Top-to-bottom gradients in sidebarscheers 🙂
think of it this way…
#page { background image goes here }
#content {float: left;}
#sidebar {float: right;}
#footer {clear: both;}<div id="page"> <div id="content">content area</div> <div id="sidebar">sidebar stuff</div> <div id="footer">footer text</div> </div>now, with the content on the left and the sidebar on the right, both with transparent backgrounds, the only thing that shows through is the background image for #page, yes?
so just make the image *look* as though the sidebar area has a different background.
I dont know how better to explain it.

my theme is based on the default kubrick which does the same thing… copy/paste that link into your address bar so it doesn’t complain about hotlinking.

In reply to: Top-to-bottom gradients in sidebarsI’m using that effect myself.
neither my sidebar nor my content area have a background – the background is on a div containing both the sidebar and the content, as jerhoyet pointed out.

In reply to: Two tipes of excerptI dunno about your pictures… but the_content_rss() takes a word count as a parameter, I assume that since images can be available via RSS, that they will work in some way too.
… don’t quote me on the pictures part, I haven’t ever used the function in a template.

In reply to: Just want to upload image (no post or page)if they’re comfortable editing the php in the header, then they should be comfortable with FTP – but if not… then why not just upload via the write post page? they don’t actually have to write a post.
either way – why would this be possible, do you reckon? WordPress isn’t a file management utility, in fact it’s generally expected that people be able to FTP the wordpress files up to their host, right?
Maybe as the web designer, you should create a nice little image uploader for your client.

In reply to: Internal Commentshey, I’ve heard of this new thing called email…. but if you don’t like that, a plugin might be the way forward.
