In reply to: Album Listing: Plugin?Thanks for the suggestions. The Amazon Media Management plugin looks promising, I must say.

In reply to: Quicker Way to Enable CommentsI’m extremely bored right now so I decided to go on ahead and finally tag all of my entries. I’m chaning the discussion options as I do so. Thanks, you guys, for your suggestions. 🙂

In reply to: Quicker Way to Enable CommentsThat didn’t work. :-/ That option was already selected, so I deselected it, then reselected it. Perhaps each entry’s individual settings override this?

In reply to: Redirect Old Permalink Structure to NewWordPress should update (ping) Technorati’s index with the new information? Also keep in mind, and I omitted this at first, that the old structure is from a previous WordPress installation. I’ve since created another and managed to import the old entries into my current one.
I’m just trying to figure out how to setup redirect so that when someone tries to access the old URLs, they’ll be forwarded to the correct ones rather than receiving a 404.

In reply to: Import entries from 1.5 to 2.0Before going on hiatus or whatever you might call it (suspending my hosting account), I made a backup of the entire root directory–I managed to preserve an installation of WordPress. Previous attempts to run that installation after reuploading it have failed, but I have found that it was because of a) .htaccess settings and b) outdated URLs in the SQL (boison.org as opposed to boison.org/old).
So my old WP installation now functions. I just went through and deactivated/deleted all plugins and changed the permalink structure to reflect that of my current installation.
Where should I go from here? I have only a basic understanding of PHP and zero with SQL. I just made a backup of the modified old SQL, so I have room to “play around.”
A couple of thoughts: would it be plausible to remove fields that aren’t in the 2.0 schema from the 1.5 version?
I’m gonna tinker for awhile, ’cause I just confused myself…

In reply to: More elegant way to display different sidebars on each page?Right, statements within sidebar.php (I only uploaded a text file so that you could view the code) display the various content depending on the page that’s being viewed. For example,
<?php /* Single */ if (is_single()) { $display_single = true;?>would display
<?php if( $display_single ) { ?>
<h1><?php _e('Information'); ?></h1>
This is an archived entry published on <?php the_time('F jS, Y',display) ?>.
Filed under <?php the_category(', ') ?>.
You can follow any responses to this entry through the <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?> feed.
<?php } ?>
only on pages that use the single page template, if that makes sense? http://boison.org/archives/2005/12/23/leaving-the-city/ is an example.
To make sidebar content for different pages, just copy the else if statement
<?php /* Colophon */ } elseif (is_page() && ( get_query_var('pagename') == 'colophon')) { $display_colophon = true;?>, replacing ‘colophon’ with the page slug and$display_colophonwith whatever sections you want to display.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: More elegant way to display different sidebars on each page?There’s a very elegant and very simple way to do this. I’m in the process of “upgrading” my blog, but that’s another story. Point is, not all pages are complete, so the following coding doesn’t completely show its possibilities.
EDIT: Or like since it displayed funny even in between backticks, get the code at http://boison.org/wp-content/themes/simple/sidebar.txt.
You can see this “in action” at boison.org. I think it’s pretty self-explanatory, though I’d try to clarify wherever needed.

In reply to: Default theme, problem with page templates?Actually, podz, that was a good idea. I went back and took a clean copy of the index file, as well as the source of the file I was basing the template on codewise, and removed things selectively.
Looks like I forgot the
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>statement after<?php the_content(); ?>. Adding that seemed to do the trick; everything works fine now.Silly me. Thanks everyone!

In reply to: Default theme, problem with page templates?Your problem doesn’t seem quite the same. I’m not having any issues with index.php, just the page template(s).
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Default theme, problem with page templates?WordPress did recognize the file after I put it in wp-content, but then I would get a parse error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/27/d90640279/htdocs/wp-content/themes/Pink/about.php on line 17I’m not sure why this is; I’m looking but I see no ‘$’. LOL And I don’t have this problem with the index file.
