In reply to: Plugin Quest – conditional display based on custom field valMy first question would be to what would be the determiner of which posts? Certain category?

In reply to: Display Post Text Twice (hidden?)One place worth looking is http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/ (specifically the CSS tools) I’ve been doing a lot of reading through that lately, and there’s a lot to be learned there. The developer of the grid system has a recent article here http://24ways.org/2006/intricate-fluid-layouts
http://www.cssliquid.com/resources/ Christian has a lot of great resources linked there, another quality starting point.
Another good place to start is http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/index.html
http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/ has a lot of frameworks to play with as well.
From there, I think you’ll find enough to get you started.

In reply to: Changing upload ? Possible???????I don’t suggest or condone editing core files, but if you are comfortable with PHP and editing those files, it’s handled in functions-post.php, starts at line 883.
You’ve been warned 😉
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Display Post Text Twice (hidden?)That’s a fairly old design, at least in CSS design standards, so therein lies part of the issue. There’s no inner wrapper for the sidebar and content. Something you could easily fix. Likewise, there’s no main wrap either, which explains the flexible width. No container, no defined size.
IMVHO, I’d research a more modern approach to a flexible width design, one that addresses a few more issues that this doesn’t not.
The truth is, the issue really is much bigger than this forum, and not the thrust of its purpose. However, I’m sure others might have similar questions and curiosities, so I wanted to address the major issues. If you need some specific links to more on CSS designs, and liquid ones specifically, I can provide a few.

In reply to: Display Post Text Twice (hidden?)That’s as very straight forward design. A fixed width sidebar (navigation) with a flexible width content area. I didn’t look at the CSS, but from experience it goes something like
main wrapper
header
inside wrapper
navigation
content
footer.With main wrapper having a 100% width, navigation fixed, and content filling in the rest using some percentage.
Once it’s spliced up, you simply will be floating the nav(sidebar) left within the inside wrapper. In the index.php file, you can still call the content first via the loop, then call sidebar.php. The CSS will float it left. Thus, looking at source, content will come before navigation.
Hope that gives you some direction.

In reply to: Display Post Text Twice (hidden?)I’d rather do it on forum, simply for the fact that it may come up again. I know there have been other discussions in the forum regarding SEO and position of the sidebar vs content.
Please know I’m wary of overly concerned SEO questions…

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.0.5 Sorry No Posts MatchedWell, since it’s happening to me, I’d think not a cookie issue. As I mentioned, a db error is being kicked out for the category listing, so I’m guessing something is rotten in that table, which *could* prevent the upgrade from running, and the dominoes keep falling.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Display Post Text Twice (hidden?)It’s a matter of where the sidebar.php is called from in index.php, not really about absolute positioning. So your CSS puts the content where you want, but the order of the info is done in the code. 3 column themes can be a bit more tricky.

In reply to: Inlink countGive it a little time. It takes a while for their spiders to get around to you, and as moshu said, they are not a perfect source.

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.0.5 Sorry No Posts MatchedFor what ever reason, the database is not upgrading. The link to the OP site is above, and I’ve tried navigating to several wp-admin links, each time the upgrade.php needs to be run is served.
I’ll be curious to see if repairing the table and re-uploading files did anything.

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.0.5 Sorry No Posts MatchedAnother thought is to try uploading the files again, to be sure all the files were overwritten.

In reply to: Fix drop down category in Write, how?ACtually, if my memory serves me, all the boxes are OPEN on first visit, and you have to close them. From there, it’s a preference stored in a cookie.
Forum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: code 0 error ‘null’ is null or not an objectWhen you say “new wordpress” can be specific? If you are talking about 2.1 alpha, those issues are not handled in the support forums until it goes beta. If it is 2.1 you need to address this to http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers, but know that alpha releases are for experienced testers, not regular blog use.
If this is a 2.0.x issue, you should start a new thread, as I’m locking this one.
