Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 301 redirect vs. replacing pagesyou can add extensions to posts, but you “can’t” (using the term loosely) have posts appear directly off the root folder.
so, basically, I’ll take what’s behind door number 1 please.
the end result is better anyway… eventually the 301 redirects won’t even get used anymore, and you’ll end up with more correctly formed permalinks for the future.

In reply to: Make Category Page the Home Pagesort of.
you can make a page template that looks exactly like your category template, only using the query_posts function to pull posts from your chosen category into play.
Assign the page template to the page. Set as homepage, and bob’s your mother’s bit on the side.
Not that this is a solution necessarily, but I use custom fields for dollar values with TDOMF, and this would never have come up for me, because I don’t put the currency symbol into the value.
You can put the dollar sign in when you output the value in the custom field, it doesn’t need to be in there all the time.
The added benefit is that without a dollar sign in the actual value, you can do some math with it very easily if you want to.

In reply to: Why Cant use windows as category slug?http://shadowizm.com/tags/windows
you’ve already got windows as a tag slug… really there should be no need to have a tag and a category as the same term. If it’s related to windows, put it into the windows category, and don’t bother tagging it “windows”

In reply to: _wp_unfiltered_html_commentwhen does your HTML validator login as someone with privilege to post unfiltered comments? More importantly, when is a search engine going to do it?

In reply to: Multiple blogs on one site???You can think of categories or perhaps author pages as a “blog stream” and the rest is up to the way you organise your theme’s navigation menu.
if you want completely different blogs with different layouts, and different everything, then you want 2 installations of wordpress, or in the more extreme case, wordpress Mu
Haha, this is awesome… someone call O’Reilly and send him this link.

In reply to: two different blog post under one page (inner page)I agree, the best way to do this is to use a single page with two floated divs in it.
if you needed this to be a series of posts on the one page, that’s a different story.

In reply to: Taxonomy: same slug, different taxonomy“So, Ivo, how DO you feel about threads like this?”
I’m glad you asked.
This has been discussed maybe 10,000 times since wp 2.3… without a solution, it doesn’t really belong in the ‘advanced’ forum.
Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Taxonomy: same slug, different taxonomyIt is considered an issue by some… it’s a very well known issue, and presumably there’s some discussion going on as to how to address this, or whether it’s to be addressed at all.
Personally, I don’t have a huge problem with it. Slugs are largely for internal use only. Unelss you’re particularly anal about your path names, then it’s not a problem.
What it *does* allow though, is a very easy way to deal with the taxonomy without caring too much whether you’re working with tags or categories, and what levels of nesting they have attached to them.
You can shuffle categories around right now. What happens when tomorrow you want to shuffle them under the same parent?
You’re gonna see a message like:
Sorry, you can't do that because you're anal about your path names.Forum: Fixing WordPress

Muahaha.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: What to do with ‘dead’ themes? Licensinggreenshady, you’re totally off-base with this “all themes are GPL” stuff… you could argue that the templates are GPL maybe, but my CSS and my images, the contents of my functions.php, and the intangible artistry in my colour choice, and whatever else I include with it is ALL MINE if I say it is.
there are wordpress themes available for sale, and the notion that they’re all suddenly GPL because Matt says so is ridiculous, and I doubt he would have ever said anything like that unless extremely drunk at the time.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Missing the ability to pass class (or id, or title) to functionWhile wordpress doesn’t let you specify the class attributes, it does generate them for almost everything. wp_list_pages/categories/bookmarks have class attributes on every element, for example.
I don’t think it’s necessary to specify them manually – otherwise for wp_list_categories you would have to specify at least 6 classes (or many more if you wanted to be just as specific as it is already)
A default class is fine… and for functions with only one purpose like previous_post_link (what else does it do?.. right?) you could hard-code the rel attribute as well, no need to specify it as a function parameter.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: My question was deletedhmm I can see 20 pages of mine…
It desperately needs fixing for sure, as it no longer differentiates between threads I’ve started and those I’ve merely replied to, and it doesn’t sort them in order of last comment, so it’s really almost useless… but for someone like our OP here with 3 threads to her name, it’s probably going to remain useful for at least another month 🙂
definitely something that should be addressed by the forum team.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Tags and categories for pagesthere’s also no reason why anything you’ve posted there about them needs to necessarily be the case either.
there are many ways to skin a cat…. in fact, everything that needs doing can be done with a post, which can certainly reduce one’s need for plugins.
