in your functions.php for your theme, you should be able to do something like:

apply_filters(‘widget_tag_cloud_args’, array(‘smallest’ => 8,’largest’ => 22))

considering that vi/vim is a shell based gui style editor, the odds of interacting with it through a web page are next to nil, unless you have some kind of applet that will allow you to ssh to the server.

if you are reading posts about using vi/vim to edit, then they are probably editing directly on the server through an ssh style connection, not via ftp or a browser.

1, you mean that you want a plugin to create a table?

function yourplugin_activate() {
  global $wpdb;

$query = "Create Table ".$wpdb->prefix."yourtablename ('id' int(11) not null auto_increment,'nextfield' varchar(25) not null default '',primary key ('id'))";

  require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php');
  dbDelta($query);
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, "yourplugin_activate" );

2,extra fields is what the postmeta table is for
3, I’m not sure I fully understand what you are asking, but if you mean how do you insert your custom data into your custom table, there’s a hook for that
add_action(‘save_post’,’your function here’);

then you put your commands to save the data you want to save in your function

does the $_POST variable get changed before adding it to the db? if not, you can use that.

are you trying to edit a template page? my suggestion is to add code into your plugin to read the template from wherever the template is, pass the information to your form, and then process the template and save it to the correct location.

Plugins that I’ve written account for the template being in:

<plugindir>
<stylesheet (parent theme) directory>
<stylesheet (parent theme) directory>/<pluginname>
<theme (child theme) directory>
<theme (child theme) directory>/<pluginname>

so depending on where they place the template depends on where I have to read it from, it was alot easier to just test where the file is, fread it into a variable and then pass that variable to the form, then when the form is saved, test where it is and fwrite to it.

check to see if he’s hijacked it, or if index.php has been replaced, alot of “hackers” find a way in through some other means, and replace the index.php file to make it look like it was hacked

are you saying that you want to call the function of another plugin? or that you want to pass the information to it via a “link”?
