In reply to: eCommerce – what is this module?looks custom. Haven’t seen anything like it elsewhere, but then, I don’t get out much.
I’m about to write a custom registration system with some simple ecommerce ability for a snowmobile club. I’m going to write it into wordpress. I’ll do it by have the various pages use a custom written template that contains the necessary functions for that page. And I’ll custom built the page menu, showing only what’s appropriate, and only to logged in users. This won’t be something I could simply release though, as it won’t just be a plugin. It will require files in specific places, a separate database etc. The site you linked looks like it could be a similar thing. Where they’ve rewritten wordpress somewhat, not just added some plugins. I could be wrong about that though. I suggest a nicely worded email to see if they would share.

In reply to: I want my <p> tags back!I see it like this. WordPress is trying hard to make valid code from whatever crazy stuff inexperienced users put in there. It’s not perfect. But you can also do a couple of things. Turn off the visual editor, or click the html button to insert your code. If you still have a problem, I suggest it’s time to take it up with the developers. Or look for a suitable plugin.
note: I edited this. why? well, you’ll guess if you keep reading.

In reply to: Is updating to 2.0.3 advisable?I’ve updated two blogs, one that is somewhat busy. I have not run the bug fix plugin. I’m not getting the slashes that some describe. I do get that edit comment confirmation thing, but I can live with that.

In reply to: Keeping Line breaks – Is there a fix?!?!?I recommend you cruise the plugins for something that meets your needs. You could start here > http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Posts_Editing

In reply to: Problem with editing comments using WP 2.0.3Just to clarify, I’m specifically referring to the backslashes when I say it doesn’t happen to me. I do get the confirmation on a comment edit. Any idea where the slashes come from in the first place?

In reply to: Blocking access during upgradeI guess I’m too egalitarian for some. 😉

In reply to: RSS feeds for separate postsactually, that’s a good point to make. if you have permalinks on, sticking /feed on the end of almost anything gets you the rss feed for it.

In reply to: Blocking access during upgradeheh, yeah, i forgot the original point. my bad.
as far as who Matt is, well, I don’t pay much attention to who anyone is. and generally expect the same in return!

In reply to: Roles & RSS Feedsafter investigating that a bit, it might not be fully baked for your needs. I think it wants the user to be already authorized, and won’t prompt for the authentication dialog on it’s own. that could be modified, but I don’t have the time to look at it. I might suggest you contact the author.
In any event, searching for http authentication is key for what you want. If you can find a plugin that handles that, your subscribers will be able to read the rss feed.

In reply to: Roles & RSS FeedsOK, I had some tea, which is almost like caffeine.
The essence of what you want to do is install some kind of http authentication plugin. I took a quick look, and found this > http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/http-authentication/
I haven’t tested it, and I don’t know if there are other better ones.
Once you have that, an rss reader can put their user/pass in the url as I described above. (http://user:pass@adomain.com/blog/feed). Use the actual url to the your feed, and just insert the user:pass@ bit after the //.
You could test this in a browser, except for IE, as I think microsoft disabled that function. If you’re *logged out*, and try the url in firefox, you should get the xml for the feed.
Give that a try and report back here. I’ll advise if you have a problem. Hopefully it will just work, so I don’t have to actually try installing it myself! 😉

In reply to: Roles & RSS FeedsThe essense of what you want to be able to do is login to read the RSS feed. If I login through my firefox browser, and then have a livebookmark to read the rss, it will now work.
I’m not sure there is a method of logging in through the url with wordpress. If you were using .htaccess to control users, you could use the form http://user:pass@yourdomain.com/blog/feed. Perhaps there is a plugin that will get the username and password for wordpress from the same place .htaccess gets it. That is, from the separate dialog box that normally pops up.
ok, I just woke up, and I’m not clear headed. that might not have made sense. i’ll look around a bit and see if there’s something written about alternative login methods.
off to search for caffeine ……
