In reply to: Overriding / formatting wp_get links differently?http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_archives
Read the whole page and pay special attention to HOW to use the attributes, their order, and the “before” and “after” attributes (which li and /li are the defaults and will show if you don’t specify otherwise)

In reply to: Seeking compliant catalog and shopping cartHave y’all looked at CubeCart? I did a CubeCart and WordPress site here:
http://prettypluslingerie.co.ukAnother one here, though no WP integration:
http://somestore.com/store/Only a few pages in the cart generate table code, and they’re ones where it’s sensible for it to be there, most of the code is pure xhtml/css.
There was a security patch recently so things were a bit jumbled there since it happened over the holiday, but the community is a good one (unlike ZenFart . . um ZenCart), the forum is active and helpful, and the cart works a treat. It doesn’t have quite as many features as OSCommerce or Zen, but it seems to have enough for most, and the setup and templating are VERY easy.

In reply to: WordPress 2.0 XMLRPC issue….Ryan, did you ever get this xmlrpc.php file done? I’d like to drop it into pcmike’s site since the patchy fixes didn’t seem to do the job.

In reply to: WMF Windows image ExploitWell, whose bonehead idea was it to have wp-content writable? I’m sorry but that’s just . . . AARRGGHH!!!
*takes deep breath*
I hope whoever it is corrects this OBVIOUS mistake and SECURITY HOLE. geez. WP has been known in the past to be a quality ap. Unless this is fixed, it will certainly lose THAT rep.

In reply to: Taking a Giant Leap instead of a Small StepI hate word processors. I used to not hate them. I used to not hate them in the time before they tried to do everything and be all to all. I used to not hate them in the time before you actually had to take a course or read a book just to learn how to use the damn thing.
One of the beauties of WP is that it is SIMPLE to use. I’m a web designer who often works with computer-challenged clients. If all this stuff was added to the interface they’d be lost, they wouldn’t use it and they’d curse me for money wasted. Personally, so I don’t have to go back in and fix broken sites, my plan is that if I use 2.0 for client installs of WP as a CMS, I’ll be turning off that fancy editor so they don’t break the layout with all the crap they can now add with that RTE turned on.
If you need all that functionality out of the box, there are full fledged CMS out there that do it all. Don’t kill a good thing by making it into something it’s not.
My two dollar’s worth is it’s better to have all these things added as plugins for those who need ’em and safely out of the way of those who’d be confused by them.

In reply to: .htaccess questionI doubt if you can without an .htaccess, but if you had custom permalinks you’d need the modified .htaccess

In reply to: AUdioblog video post with 2.0To elucidate on this it seems to be stripping out the part of the code that produces the video. This is the way posts come out on TypePad:
<p>Here's a vBlog post about that new <a href="http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?" series="P15D">Fujitsu P1500 convertible Tablet PC</a> that I've been raving about.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.audioblog.com/playweb?audioid=P300a98e056de55710e5d35fe47f424d2YFh%2BRVREYmN3&buffer=5&fc=FFFFFF&pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&gateway=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.audioblog.com%2Fplaylist&player=vp24" height="210" width="246" frameborder="0" scroll="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
And this is what shows up in WordPress 2.0 when we did the same thing with just “blah blah” text:
<p>blah blah</p>
We’ve also had trouble with javascript being stripped out. Is there any way to stop that? This guy had a working blog with audio and video at TypePad, now he can’t do half the things he used to do. Please help.

In reply to: Should I host blog from homepage or in sub-folder?I’ve set up a bunch of sites using WP as a mini content management system. Yes, you can do it with the “Page” feature (is that working in 2.0? I’ve had problems . . .) but make sure you get the plugin that allows “Pages” to be searchable. There is also the plugin to make a “Page” the homepage, so you can effectively use WP in the root and have the “blogged” part of your site separate from the “static” part of your site. You can also create a home Page template so you can make your opening page look a bit different than the rest of your site, so really, there’s no reason you can’t just use WordPress for the entire site.

In reply to: Just KudosOh, WP 2.0 will be great someday. When all the bugs are worked out . . . the permalink bug, the link category before and after bug, the Pages bug, the rss bug . . . did I miss any?
I’m just wondering why this was released before the bugs were shook out. Could it have anything to do with that awful Yahoo WordPress Hosting?

In reply to: link category “before” and “after” not working in 2.0.Oh, and vkaryl? Whether to hack core isn’t a question when it’s something that’s broken. This is a function in admin. It doesn’t work. It won’t work unless the core code that runs it is corrected. So it’s not a hack, its a repair. Big difference.
