In reply to: Sub-page display?God, yes, thats perfect! I guess those other things in the sidebar were added by widgets, which to be honest i didnt remember that i had added,because i just threw them in when i very first installed WP.
This is exactly what i needed, with no design effort from me. I thought it couldnt be that hard!
Thank you, mores, for your help throughout this process! I really appreciate it.

In reply to: Sub-page display?OK, trying to end this as simply as possible. Im using Carrington, and just trying to do what your suggesting: Add subpages to the sidebar.
And i cant even mange this. I was able to remove this from the top navigation link, by removing the wp_list_pages call in the navigation div.
But i can not add it to the sidebar. I dont know how the sidebar works here. In the sidebar-default.php file, there is a div for primary-sidebar. In this, there is a div for Archives (which is displayed on my blog). If i add a copy of this div immediately below, just to see what happens, nothing happens. (i was going to copy this but with wp_list_pages instead of wp_get_archives). Its just not visible.
And my blog has a “Blogroll”, “Recent Posts”, and “Recent Comments” sections in this primary sidebar, yet i canit figure out where these come from. If I grep “Blogroll” in the Carrington directory theres nothing there.
So, how do i get these subpages into a sidebar, below the Archives? This cant be so hard!!!
Thanks.

In reply to: Sub-page display?Id say by the way that i do like the out-of-box desing of Carrington quite a bit, and if i could get it to work here, i would. But i tried adding “depth=2&” to the wp_list_pages call in header-default.php (the only place the routine is called, apart from sandbox.php), and it had no effect.
So if theres a simple way to altar Carrington to have it do this, that would probably be my best solution.
Thanks!

In reply to: Sub-page display?Ive tried several themes, inclusing k2, classic, default, DarkBlue, Carrington Blog, and Daleri Sweet. Most of these don’t have any wp_list_pages function in header.php, and if it does, it doesn’t have a depth parameter. So i dont really know where to start.
Daleri Sweet DOES do this (sub-pages that is), in a sidebar which is fine, but the blogroll is at the top of the page which emphasizes it too much. But maybe i should just stick with this.
The blog is not online yet and i cant give access to it.
I do know how to edit the files, which im doing in Emacs directly on the server.
Thanks for the time which i really do appreciate.

In reply to: Sub-page display?Thanks, took me a while to try this.
Are there any themes that ARE designed to show sub-pages? I tried two common ones and your right, they dont look good.
I dont grok CSS, and i wasnt trying to make a big project of this–the docs talk about sub-pages and i want to use them, not redesign an entire site. If theres a theme that shows this out of the box, i will just use that.
Thanks, Tim.

In reply to: Sub-page display?bump
Sorry for the bump, but it seems that this should be a simple question or at least one that other’s have had before…
Id be really grateful for at least a pointer to the docs i need to get this to work. Thank you!

In reply to: Inserting external HTML into pageHi! Im a new WordPress user. I couldnt easily find this in the docs, but im sure its there somewhere….
I want to have a page or post with HTML dynamically from an external source inserted into it. For example, if i have a database of my CD collection, and i have a program called “latest_CDs.pl” on my website that generates somethng like
<b>The Beatles</b> <i>Abbey Road</i> purchased 28 October 2008Then i want a page on my blog called “My latest CDs”, that i dont have to touch because i keep track of it in a seperete database. How do i link to this from a WP post or page so that this data is seemlessly put into the page? The URL could be
http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/latest_CDs.plor something.Basically i sort of want to have an SSI in the blog.
Thanks!
