Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: functions.php on line 1765using wp 2.02, I found that having an empty dir in themes is causing this error. It’s fine if it’s the proper user, but I had one owned by root, with 755 permission, and it caused the error. I changed the owner to what it should be, and then the error went away.
fussy little thing!

In reply to: How to make a blog containing other blogs’ headlines/postsrss is the key to that. wordpress has magpie rss functions built in. (i haven’t used them, I’m just pointing you there).
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/In short, you want to find out the rss feed for each of those sources, and put that data into the magpie rss function calls. This will call and display the articles on your blog.

In reply to: A comic blog, but with a difference.I think what he’s saying is he wants a comic rotater plugin, that runs without the comic being a post. This comic would essentially be like a banner ad. His articles could be added sporadically, like 3 in one day, and not again for 4 days, but each day the comic would change, on it’s own, without him doing anything. Perhaps he could preload the comics a week at a time.
Now, having said that, it could still be done using the wordpress system, with some custom adjustments to a theme. He could load the comics as a post in a comic category. He could adjust the timestamp so they appear in the future, once each day, so he could preload them if desired. Then, on his theme, he would pick a spot and put in code to display one article from the comic category. All he really needs to do is modify the theme page where he wants that to happen. And he would need to modify the index page to show posts from all categories except the comic category. (This just so they don’t show up in the chronological list of posts, only the specially displayed one will be visible).
Now, fokjulle. Do you know how to do that?

In reply to: Limit image width?You could control how large it appears with css. It wouldn’t actually be 400 px (or whatever), but it would be scaled down in the browser to appear that size. The advantage of this is it’s theme dependent, and the original images would be untouched if you want them larger in another theme.

In reply to: HELP!!! My drafts can be viewedAh, Bingo, we have a winner. I disabled Adhesive, and I could no longer see that post.
I’ll check to see if there’s an update, and try again. If the errors persists, I guess it’s time to let the author know.
Good work team!

http://ryanduff.net/projects/wp-contactform/We have four plugins in common. I’ll look first to those. I might even turn them all off, and see what happens, but I’ll wait to do this when I won’t have many visitors. If it was any of them, I might suspect adhesive, only because it affects the post order.

In reply to: Theme “?”: what do you want in your sidebar?The standard way of including widgets has a test to see if you have widgets installed or not. Those without widgets will never have a problem with anyone who follows the standard way of including them.

In reply to: HELP!!! My drafts can be viewedI tested it by logging out, and when I viewed the post, it did not show the edit button, which the theme I’m using does when an author person is logged in. This would seem to indicate I am reading the post without being logged in.
I’m willing to do a test draft and post the link.

In reply to: Theme “?”: what do you want in your sidebar?widgets. I’ll do the customizing of the sidebar myself. As long as you support widgets, you need not worry about getting your offerings right.

In reply to: Do we really care about 800×600 people?If you don’t care if people read your site, then do what you want. If you want people to read, I’d consider their needs. I don’t think this is any different than having a bbq, where you know some people coming are vegetarians. Are you going to provide for them, or not? It might be extra effort, but it need not comprise design for a blog.

In reply to: Public domain?When someone links to you, google will find you on it’s own. If your blog is http://darran.digital-pulse.net/, then when google reads this, it will add you to it’s database. Be patient.
