In reply to: Gengo for WP 2.3If Gengo were a part of WP, then WP could be marketed as a truly multilingual blogging platform… and all other plugins would hopefully start supporting Gengo features. That would be great.

In reply to: Restricted Area??Simple.
LOGIN WIDGET
To get a really nice login widget (–>to front) you install http://blue-anvil.com/archives/a-wordpress-login-widget-sidebar-login-widget-v10EXTRA FIELDS AND CHECKS
If you require the users to read and accept the privacy policy, of if you want to allow registration only to those that know a registration authorization key/password set by you, just install http://www.cimatti.it/blog/cimy-wordpress-plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/ Then you just require the checkbox and password field to display in the registration box and their values to match set criteria (yes or passowrd).MEMBERS-ONLY PAGES
To make pages visible to subscribers only, you make them private in the editor. Then you install Disclose secret from http://bluesome.net/post/2006/01/01/121/ and go back to the editor and choose which user roles are allowed to see that page. Note that you need to tick the special option to allow the plugin to run on this new unknown version of wp.USER ROLES
If you need more roles, such as “member”, “customer”, “partner”, “staff”… you install Role Manager from http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/ (this is tne newest version). Now you can configure different permissions to different groups of people.MONITORING
You can monitor logins/logouts using http://www.bluetrait.com/page/btev/I have done all this, and it works in WP2.2.3 and probably even in 2.3. I don’t have members-only widgets, but one could use one page template (with sidebar #1) for public pages, and another template (with sidebars #1 and #2) for private pages (subscribers/members). That requires a theme of two sidebars, though.

In reply to: How do I create a page that doesn’t show in list…Create them as subpages and link to them from somewhere.

In reply to: Male/Female Plugin Needed !!With http://www.cimatti.it/blog/cimy-wordpress-plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/
you can have sex in your users profiles. Then you can ask commenters to register…
I don’t know if this is needed/works with the above, but maybe…
http://www.andrewferguson.net/wordpress-plugins/force-user-field-registration/I don’t know how to assign gender pictures, and I have no time to find out. Have luck.

In reply to: Male/Female Plugin Needed !!After that plugin is installed, don’t expect replies from intersex persons 😀
But yes, I can see an use for that kind of sex/gender plugin.

In reply to: wp used as a splogging toolA few things to consider:
– Do you report you posts to tracking services (blogger etc)?
– Do you offer your posts as rss/atom feeds?
– Have you tried Bad Behaviour?
– Have you installed that robots.txt suggested earlier?
– You might also consider running a subscribers-only blog using private pages and the Disclose secret plugin.
– Deny hotlinking in .htaccessForum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: wp used as a splogging tool1) Assign your posts a copyright tag and an appropriate creative commons license – or some other license. Free for non-commercial use, for example.
2) Use content fingerprinting to track it. http://www.maxpower.ca/wordpress-plugin-digital-fingerprint-detecting-content-theft/2006/09/25/
3) Report it to them as copyright infringement and demand that they respect your rights. Depending on legislation, what they do might be legal or not as long as they are not making money. But because they are making money with your content, and copyright is world wide acknowledged and protected, you have a valid reason to ask them to remove your content from their blog.
4) Escalate
5) They won’t like you after that
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress as CMS, blog in sub-folder1) Make sure that WordPress is installed as usual. The blog messages are shown on the default “front” page. In your case it would be URL/wp/
2) Create a static web page using “Write page”. That will become your new front page.
3) Edit Options->Reading->Frontpage displays: A static page
Assign a static front page (choose the one you want; see #2)
Assign a blog page (call it “blog”)4) Make sure, that after this change the default page is URL/wp and the blog is URL/wp/blog
5) IF everything worked out, move WordPress back to where it was, to remove the extra /wp/…

In reply to: Best simple photo gallery plugin?I am not familiar with the above plugin, so I cannot compare, but another option would be the NextGen Gallery.
It allows for import-from-directory and it is completely wordpress-based.

In reply to: Plugin AdviceYou will want Event Calendar 3: http://wpcal.firetree.net/
For your newsletter you want images. Hence, you should take a look at NextGen Gallery.

In reply to: Advanced category excluder does not exclude all categories?Of my “events”, “upcoming-events” and “eventcalendar” categories only one is visible in the ACE dashboard. Two are not.
These three event categories are ids 2, 7 and 16. None of them are hidden, but two completely other categories contain all hidden messages (Disclose Secret plugin).

In reply to: plugin menu problem in admin [requested URL… was not found]That problem is not related to WordPress 2.3.
I have the same problem in WordPress 2.2.xThere is a solution available at the Gengo forum:
http://jamietalbot.com/wp-hacks/forum/The solution consists of replacing some problematic lines in a script with something that works better.

In reply to: Newbie question on installing pluginsOh, that is called the “shell”. IF your webhost offers ssh-login, then you install ssh (PuTTY is one good free program), connect to your website using ssh (secure shell), login and do something like this on the COMMAND LINE:
cd domains
cd yourdomain.com
cd wordpress
cd wp-content
cd pluginsand check that the directory is correct using
pwd
(you can go back with: “cd ..”)
then you list the files, in time order:
ls -lt
and then just
unzip big_bad_archive.zip
finally you use cd and ls to verify that all went ok and then you
rm big_bad_archive.zip
exitAnd you are done 🙂

In reply to: Photo Gallery pluginA wild guess: NextGen Gallery
It at least has those square gallery thumbnails and it also provides “Albums” juts like the “See all galleries” (or “Photos”) page.
Besides, NGgallery is the best general gallery plugin I have found for WordPress for my needs. Gallery2 + WPG2 could offer more functionality, but then again Gallery2 is not just a plugin… It is a whole new system and bigger than WP.

In reply to: Event Calendar and WP 2.3I just noticed that a new version of EventCalendar has now been published: EventCalendar v. 3.1.1 Release Candidate 2
It is said to be compatible with WP2.3 (and Google Calendar)
I have no time to test it right now.
