Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: creating a discussion board with WPWell I agree with Kaf, the more I look at your example site the more that reminds me of a simple blog. The post is a post, discussion is comments, and categories are categories. Even their ‘have a review’ link is just a comment and the registration is handled by WordPress. The drop down box that lists the categories is also handled automatically with the dropdown_cats() template tag.
It’ll take some work to customize but I don’t think anymore than any other regular blog. Keep in mind, I only took a quick look – don’t read too much into my ramblings.
WordPress template tags can be found here (including the dropdown_cat() tag)
( http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags ).If you want to pay someone to do the work and you haven’t got a response in the forums try the WordPress Professional mailing list.

In reply to: jefte.net How is this made?Here’s the theory. Sorry, no code post tonight but hopefully you’ll find an example somewhere.
Ok, he’s got 2 columns each with 5 posts. 1-5 runs in the left column and 6-10 runs in the middle column. There’s two ways to split posts like this.
1. Use PHP to count the number of posts as you go through the loop. So you’d create
<div id="narrowcolumn1"> and then loop through 5 posts. Then you'd close narrowcolumn (</div>) and open<div id=”narrowcolumn2″>. When PHP has counted off 5 more posts you'll close narrowcolumn2 (</div>`).2. Use can have WordPress run multiple queries. So you’d run 1 loop with a max of 5 posts. Then you’d run another loop also with a max of 5 (but starting at the 6th post). You’ll probably find some information on the codex.
Sorry ’bout the lack of concrete examples. If I get some time I’ll swing back.

In reply to: How do I list older posts by just title and date?The page looks good, nice work on it.
Ok, so we know that at least 5 posts show on the front page. Change the line
<?php if ($i < 5) { ?>to < 1. Does that work as expected? (1 new and at least 4 older?)If that doesn’t help try sticking
<?php print("new count: $i"); ?>and
<?php print("old count: $i"); ?>in the new post section and the old post sections respectively. That’ll show how many posts are going through the loop and which section they’re being processed by.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: jefte.net How is this made?Not quite sure what you’re referring to. What exactly is the ‘multiple categories’? Do you mean how posts continue over two columns?

In reply to: Scroll Box For Recent PostsAlso search the web for CSS’s overflow property. You’d use it like
<div style="overflow: auto">
Here's a big paragraph of stuff...
</div>
If the paragraph fits within the div then no scrollbars will show. If it doesn’t then ‘auto’ will cause scroll bars to display. It can be a little tricky between browsers though.

In reply to: Requested theme does not exist.I can’t replicate the error.
Fresh install of 1.5.1. Classic, Default, Journalized-Sand & Zig-Zag as the only themes installed.
Also tested upgrade from 1.5 Nightly to 1.5.1 (overwrote and ran upgrade.php). Multiple themes, still can’t generate the error.

In reply to: 1.5.1 prev – next links issueOn Dreamhost, when your site is run as CGI, SCRIPT_NAME always refers to the PHP CGI binary. Just FYI.

In reply to: “Cron Job” for Dummies??Not every webhost allows access to cron. The easiest way to find out if yours does, and how to use it, is to email your webhost’s support.
If your webhost runs CPanel as your control panel there is usually a ‘Cron Jobs’ link there. It’s a fill out the form type of thing. But your host’s support will clear this up for sure.

In reply to: How do I list older posts by just title and date?I tested your code and it’s working for me. I took your code.txt, renamed it to index.php and put it in themes/default/. I had to remove one or two lines for functions I didn’t have but that’s all.
Here’s a screenshot http://tylerbrekko.com/temp/nuveautek.png.
So not sure where the problem lies. But if you send a link to your live I can look at the HTML & CSS.

In reply to: How do I list older posts by just title and date?Hey, do you have a link to a live copy of this page? I’d like to see what html is being written. Guaranteed it’s something silly we’re missing so we’ll track it down eventually 🙂
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: kubrick issuesIt looks like your style sheet is not being called. The line is there but if you look in your source you’ll see
<link rel="stylesheet" href="" type="text/css" media="screen" />
You can see the href=”” doesn’t have a location for the style.css file.
Try copying a new version of the header.php file into your default theme directory, maybe something got messed up in there.
The line in your header.php file should look like
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

In reply to: How do I list older posts by just title and date?Good catch on the cache, I always forget about that too.
It’s my mistake in the above code. The line
<?php else { ?>
needs to be changed to
<?php } else { ?>(The first brace is required to close the ‘if’ part before moving on to the ‘else’ part)
Let me know how it goes.

In reply to: Where posts can be found on my Database serverTry turning off javascript in your browser. Maybe that will help you load the page.
Do you have access to PHPMyAdmin through your control panel? That will give you direct access to your posts.
