In reply to: Adding security on post2cat tableSeems I misread what Cyril said.
I think prompting for where they should go is a good idea.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Adding security on post2cat tableCyril: We’re doing something like that, except if the deleted category had no parent then it’s children will have no parent.

In reply to: Filter when postingI can see the benefit of having ‘display filters’ and ‘saving filters’. Perhaps, though, it would be better to keep the concept of ‘filters’ confined to what we currently know as filters… something like a spell check might be described as a plugin instead of a filter.

In reply to: Could someone explain what the new sub-cats are 4?You can have list_cats display the categories hierarchically, and you can have the_category display the ‘path’ to the category, like ” Writtings & Scribblings > Poems”, to use TechGnome’s setup as an example.

In reply to: Calendar based photobloggingI’m working on my own WP-based photoblog… I haven’t perfected it yet, but basically each photo is an entry, and the excerpt stores the path to the photo. You can see it in action at In Worten und Bildern.

In reply to: Serious Install ProblemsYou say you created the file manually… did you just make a blank file, or actually add the information from wp-config-sample.php (or whatever the name is), changing things where appropriate?

In reply to: How to add Category Icons?The problem is that the_category() returns an unordered list of categories, not just the name. While that can be easily changed with a parameter, there’s also the fact that multiple categories for any given post would mess things up.

In reply to: Category descriptions?Have you tried category_description()?

In reply to: Categories: Can they have headers like links?You could use the subcats available in the nightlies, and make Local Community the parent category to the villages. Then you’d just need to set the parameter for hierarchical display of categories. Does this sound like something that would work for you?

In reply to: Sub-Categories, at last, BUT….TechGnome: Works fine for me. I think it might have something to do with you excluding the parent category. I’ll work on it.
Anonymous: By site-view, do you mean on the blog? There’s an option in list_cats to display categories hierarchically. As for nightly 0202, I’m not sure what the problem is. I’ll take a look.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Sub-Categories, at last, BUT….Hmm… you really like the subcategory interface in b2? It seems a little messy to me. I’m very happy with the interface that Matt put together…
for those that haven’t seen it (i’m not sure if it’s in the latest nightly or still only on CVS), current categories are listed like this:
Parent Category
— Subcategory
—- Even Deeper
— Subcategory
— Subcategory
Another Parent
— Subcategory
and when creating/editing a category, there is a dropdown box for choosing the parent which displays the categories in the same way.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: UL and LI“If you want it to look like a basic in-line link – might as well have just left it as a basic in-line link.”
I have to disagree. Use markup to define things as what they are. Something like this,
Pizza, Hot Dogs, Chicken Noodle Soup
is just as much a list as this,
*Pizza
*Hot Dogs
*Chicken Noodle Soup
Regardless of the default presentation by the browser, things should be coded as what they are: lists should be coded as lists, whether they are to be displayed horizontally or vertically; headings should be coded as headings, whether or not you want the default size/padding/etc. given by a browser.
