My understanding of WordPress leads me to believe that this would be slightly difficult in the present form. An entry consists of a bunch of items which include the blog title, URL, comment trackback etc. In order to acheive what you want (if I understand you correctly, you want to simply print out the first entry of a category) you would have to modify the default b2_loop inside of WordPress to generate one entry. I patched together something for you.
Copy and paste the following code into a php file and call it single_entry.php
<?php
$blog = 1;
require_once(‘blog.header.php’);
require_once($abspath.’wp-links/links.php’);
require_once($abspath.’wp-links/links.weblogs.com.php’);
if ($posts) { $post = $posts[1]; start_b2();
the_date(”,'<h2>’,'</h2>’); ?>
<h3 class=”storytitle” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>
<span class=”meta”>” title=”Category: <?php the_category() ?>”>[<?php the_category() ?>] — <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?></span>
</h3>
<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<div class=”feedback”>
<?php link_pages(‘
Pages: ‘, ‘
‘, ‘number’); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(‘Comments (0)’, ‘Comments (1)’, ‘Comments (%)’); ?>
</div>
<?php include($abspath . ‘b2comments.php’); ?>
<?php } ?>
Now, put this file in your WordPress folder and simply point to it with the right category value. This should spit out the first entry for a single category, in a new webpage. Use the php include tags to put this inside your blog. Hope this helps,
Peace

heh! Cool…and thanks admin for fixing my post! 🙂

I have something like this working on a couple of portals which I wrote. I will have to redo the code to work with WordPress. This might take some time, but if you are willing to be patient, I could give it a shot.

Anon, the database needs to be created by hand before running the wp-install script. The script creates the tables and required columns for you as long the user specified in the DB connection information is correct and the user has rights on the database.

You must have posted while I was typing my answer! 🙂 No biggie, I was going to say, just delete the original port and it will be forced to download and perform the cleaning again. It also had the wrong download site for SourceForge. You might want to fix that in the future. (http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a/4111) It also looks like you are using an Alpha build of PHP (pre-alpha port actually) which in my opinion, is simply a very bad idea in a production server unless you are debugging/beta testing PHP itself. I would look into switching back to 4.3.4 port of PHP stable and your array problems should go away. I believe this bug is from the Zend Engine that PHP5 comes with and causes problems in certain apache installations. As of 8:30 this morning, there is no mention of this bug in the developer CVS. I hope I led you somewhat in the right direction.

Jaxxx and Sushubh, you could use the photo hack for WordPress from AlexKing.org. It lets you put photographs inside the entry and has a bunch of new features. I find it easier to link to photographs. This makes for easier editing and simpler management. Here is the link to it. http://www.alexking.org/index.php?content=software/b2/photos.php

I think I understand your question, but I think I think wrong 🙂 The way I understand it, you are asking if your archives path would change accordingly with the change of the main blog folder. If I decide to move my WordPress folder into the root of the website or to any other folder, as long as I change the siteurl settings in the options (and the few other link based settings) WordPress will not care. Everything should work just fine. For example: http://dinki.mine.nu/weblog/ and http://dinki.mine.nu/wordpress/ are 2 different blog folders with slightly different templates and completely different PHP files and such, but they access the same information. Was this your question, and consequently, does the answer work?

This should have been fixed in the latest CVS release. Were you using this or just the SourceForge download?
