Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Really trying to understand this page orginazationThere are category plugins that do this. Make one for Chad and the other for Carl. Then if you are using permalinks, it won’t be hard to discern the URL for each author’s link. Something along the lines of
http://www.pittspolitics.com/oped/carl/
http://www.pittspolitics.com/oped/chad/That’s just an example and assumes you use categories called “Carl” and “Chad” and a category “name” of “oped” (for Op-Ed). You could easily use their whole names or surnames only as the categories, however you want the URL to look, ultimately.
You could also jazz up each author’s [category] page using specific category templates for each one. Does this make sense? If I had just two authors posting, and I wanted to divide their posts the way you want, that’s what I’d do.
Then, if you want to divide posts into topics, you can use WP’s native tags instead, maybe with a tag cloud on the sidebar.
HTH.

In reply to: uploading a flash banner to a wordpress blogWe used NextGenGallery to create rotating flash banners for this web site. Mind you, these are header graphics, but wouldn’t that work for flash (ad) banners too? Contact me offlist (check my profile) and I can shoot you the code you’d need once you got the plugin up and running.

In reply to: wp_list_bookmarks Not Honoring My Exclude CategoryThanks Otto. I’ll check that out. Maybe I didn’t scroll down far enough in the codex to see that. (cuz it’s hard to see with egg on your face!) 🙂

In reply to: wp_list_bookmarks Not Honoring My Exclude CategoryYep, works like a charm. In a perfect world, I’d have prefered them not to have to go in and manually add those cat IDs when they add categories, but heh, I’ll take what I can get and maybe they won’t add any new cats. 🙂

In reply to: wp_list_bookmarks Not Honoring My Exclude CategoryHookay. This is getting REALLY WEIRD. First of all, I was able to recreate the Member Band link listing by deleting all the other categories, which forced it to display member bands. I swiped the source code for that listing and just created a static page. (So much for the beauty of content management, huh?)
Then I decided to restore those four new categories. Now I’ve also decided to just INCLUDE THEM (to hell with the client’s convenience at this point, I just want the site up and running).
So I changed the code in the links template to this:
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('include=12,13,14,15'); ?>And here’s what I get now: Notice that even tho ID 2 is EXCLUDED specifically, it still appears, and look what’s happening to the links!!!

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_list_bookmarks Not Honoring My Exclude CategoryTo clarify for you:
Desired:
Links Page #1: INCLUDE ONLY ID FROM ONE CATEGORY (2)
Page code:
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('include=2,title_li=&show_description=true&between=: '); ?>Result (not working):
http://blusd.mytestbed.com/member-bands/Desired:
Links Page #2: INCLUDE ALL LINKS EXCEPT THOSE FROM CATEGORY 2
Page code:
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('exclude=2'); ?>Result (not working):

In reply to: wp_list_bookmarks Not Honoring My Exclude CategoryYes, I did that with the member-bands page and it was working before I added another page using EXCLUDE. I have read the codex backward and forward and the code I posted for each page SHOULD work, should it not? As explained, these folks are going to be adding categories and I don’t think they should have to remember to ADD a string of ID numbers (once they’ve even found them) to the page template before doing so, do you?
Any thoughts as to WHY this isn’t working? And why, now all of a sudden, the original Member Bands page isn’t working anymore, even tho I deleted the links page?!?!?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_list_bookmarks Not Honoring My Exclude CategoryI “unpublished” the Links page since it was messing with the Member Bands page .. hoping to get the Member Bands page back. Nope. It’s completely hosed. What’s up with this?!?!?

In reply to: [Plugin: wp-weather] No good … only USAYou can’t even be bothered to do the most BASIC search before you come onto this forum and whine, can you?
I typed in “wordpress wp-weather plugin” and this was the third hit.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/172319?replies=2Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Themes and Plugins?@webfwrd With all due respect, I don’t see how a theme can be expected to support every plugin. It should support WordPress and work with all of WP’s functions. If the plugin is doing ITS job properly, there wouldn’t be an issue. Some plugins clash with each other as well. And whether or not the plugin is set up manually or automatically has nothing whatsoever to do with the theme. It’s done on the WP dashboard. So I don’t understand that last statement at all.

In reply to: feedback on my wolf themeWell, not necessarily. Why don’t you create a #wrapper division, that goes around all of it, then put that wolf image there instead of in the footer. That way, it’s always going to be at the lower right side of the viewport, at the bottom right of the wrapper, not the #footer. Make sense?
Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Your Feedback would be greatYou’re in here like it’s your theme that you designed. That’s Brian Gardner’s theme, Downtown Java, I’d recognize it anywhere. So what did you do to it that is special, different or improves upon the design or functionality of the theme?
