In reply to: Event Calendar and WP 2.3I know that this is a sensitive topic, too.
If one runs WordPress mostly as a platform for Event Calendar, then uninstalling the event calendar is probably the worst nightmare that could happen. Comment spam would probably not be a major issue.
Obviously, privacy issues and crime are serious problems, that need to be taken into consideration. So there is a fine line… How much risk is one willing to take and what are the alternative safeguards.
I just wanted to post a note and tell that sometimes people do “stupid things” as they are not willing to really accept the alternative either. I have done it, as the cost in time/money would have been to great, and it doesn’t make me proud 🙁

In reply to: Event Calendar and WP 2.3This could really become a problem again, as I am not ready to give up event calendar – even if it meant a vulnerable blog for a short time 🙁 When WP went 2.x I could not update for several months, and my webhotel did not offer updates to the older version. I did all I could to avoid the risks, but I did not upgrade. In my case, I do not allow commenting/pings/trackbacks/other interaction so the risks are minimized.
When all the options are bad, what’s the good option?
I have faith in ec3 beeing updated, though.

In reply to: category visibility plug-in won’t work in 2.3The development of Category Visibility seem to have been dropped 🙁
So my hope lies in “Category access”, “Disclose secret”, and “Subscribers only”.
The restriction plugins can conveniently be found at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Restriction
Are there any other viewing restriction plugins besides these? None of them is perfect. Subscribers only displays excerpts to all, for example. Disclose secret has NO category based restricting…

In reply to: category visibility plug-in won’t work in 2.3I am using members-only categories, too. Hence I cannot upgrade to WordPress 2.3.
Maybe Coppit’s very recent Category Access plugin will get ported. If not, I’ll probably be using 2.2.x in 2008.
I need a plugin that can make whole categories of messages “private” by default, and then assign category read permissions to specific roles. If the plugin then breaks or support for it is lost, the messages would still remain private and secured.
Eventhough the taxonomy system allows all kinds of interesting things, I would really need to do this to the plain old categories. Obviously, RSS/Atom feeds need to be resricted too.
Unfortunately I don’t have the time required to (learn how to) write such a plugin.

In reply to: Event Calendar – can it appear on a listings page?Also make sure that you select a category in which the events are placed – and also remember to use the “start [+]” and “end [+]” buttons below the post editor, to add the start/end dates/times. When you do that, the event gets automatically listed in the chosen “eventcalendar” category. It will then show up in the event list and the calendar.
Also make it belong to at least another category, if you want to display it as a normal post also.
There’s one setting in the admin panel, where you can also choose to make the whole “event category” visible by default.
It does work, and it’s easy once you learn it.
Enjoy!

In reply to: Event Calendar – can it appear on a listings page?You need to make a page template. Make a copy of a basic page template and add some php code to display the upcoming events -list.
Sorry for posting code but:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Page+EventCalendar
*/get_header();
get_sidebar();echo ‘<div id=”content”>’;
echo ‘<div class=”page”>’;if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
echo ‘<h2>’; the_title(); echo ‘</h2>’;
echo ‘<div class=”entrytext”>’;
the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this page »</p>’);
ec3_get_events(‘365 days’);
echo ‘</div>’;
link_pages(‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘number’);endwhile; endif;
echo ‘</div>’; // end-of-page
edit_post_link(‘Edit this entry.’, ‘<p class=”edit”>’, ‘</p>’);
echo ‘< / div >’; // end-of-contentget_footer();

In reply to: NexGen Gallery HelpAn album page of galleries.
A gallery of images.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Please, suggest a gallery for my needsWell, I am just editing pages/posts and inserting the pictures one by one. It’s a bit of work, but the placement options are good. I am also using TinyMCE Advanced 2.0 that provides a very good “Edit CSS Syle” -button (Aa). I like the box and border options that I can set there…

In reply to: Please, suggest a gallery for my needsNextGen Gallery http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/wordpress-plugins/nextgen-gallery/
Easy creation/management of galleries. Upload pictures or zip files or import local (on webserver) picture folder. Add descriptions. Create album pages with several galleries on page. Include albums of galleries or thumbnail image galleries or single pictures throughout the text. Click on an image to view a larger pic. This plugin is VERY good.
Make sure that you also get the third party slideshow plugin suggested. http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Image_Rotator

In reply to: Calendar: posting events for the coming month?Have you tried to edit that plugin to change the month name into a link to the respective months monthly archive? That would probably not be a big change. You could always suggest that to the plugin author.
Oops. I allready have that functionality in my blog! Event Calendar 3 does exactly this! Get it here: http://wpcal.firetree.net/
Works with WP2.2.2 and older and in PHP4/PHP5.2
ps. And have you taken a look at NextGen Gallery too? I mean, easy management of images can be important for an “Arts and Culture Magazine”.

In reply to: wp-cache error: cache directory () did not existI have had similar problems once I upgraded from PHP4 to latest version of PHP5. Did you upgrade PHP? Maybe it is related to UID checks and some php.ini options? Let me know if you find a solution.

In reply to: Translation HelpGet PoEdit. Use it to create a translation file once you have manually inserted all those _e() and __()
In vi editor you can do all sorts of search-and-replace actions with as complicated regular expressions as you can comprehend. Much better than WinWord. Enjoy 🙂
I don’t know about default languages and such, as I have not really done a lot of translations – and none where the original language would be in nonenglish.
