slideaway

I use Firefox on my Mac, which is where I ran into the issues. I’ve now tested in FF (Mac and XP), Safari(Mac) and IE6 and get the same result every time.

It will save if I don’t put the js into it. As soon as I do and save it just keeps the spinning icon going indefinitely.

Made a little headway here discovered that one of the sidebar elements was what was dictating whether the frontpage items would be random or not.

<!-- posts -->
	<?php
		if (is_single()) {
			$posts_widget_title = 'Recent Posts';
		} else {
			$posts_widget_title = 'Recent Posts';
		}
	?>

	<div class="widget">
		<div class="boxContent">
		<h3><?php echo $posts_widget_title; ?></h3>
		<ul>
			<?php
				if (is_single()) {
					$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&orderby=post_date');
				} else {
					$posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&orderby=rand');
				}
				foreach($posts as $post) {
					setup_postdata($post);
					echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></li>';
				}
				$post = $posts[0];
			?>
		</ul>
		</div>
</div>

I’m haven’t used WordPress or PHP for any large amount of time, but I’m guess there is a naming conflict or something going on here. Previously the sidebar had been to the right as opposed to the left, so I’m wondering if the issue might be tied to it previously being declared after the content.

I found this article that pertains to this issue, but I don’t know how I would go about executing an SQL query as it mentions.

Do I have to do this through my host (dreamhost), or can I do this through WordPress. I know little to nothing about how to use SQL.
