    Forgot about this … just wanted to make sure that minus what Pinoy said, I have nothing else to be aware of? Usually apps like this break on the database side by changing the folder location …

    Just want to make sure.

    Thanks!

    Well, disabling the polls and the weather widget fixed the problem … guess I’ll go without them.

    Can anyone help?

    No, the issue is still there with IE … look at the sidebar on the right … there is a blank green box sitting there for no apparent reason. Also the line showing the spam mod is repeated there as well.

    I agree though, I refuse to use IE anymore, but the fact is, most of the general public will continue to use it as they don’t know any better.

    Well, for now I just removed all the commented out code … yet I still have the issue with the sidebar having an extra block. I can’t find where it is coming from and don’t understand it only shows up in IE.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Does WP have any alternatives to WYSIWYG editor? I personally have no problems going without it, but the reason I picked WP was to allow non computer people to be able to easily edit the pages to give status updates and what not.

    Thanks again for all the help.

    I see, well it wasn’t a repost … 🙁

    Long story short, do I have any alternative to the WYSIWYG editor? All my HTML codes are being messed up when I save a page. While I have no issues going without the WYSIWYG editor, the reason I chose WP was for non-computer savvy users to be able to quickly and easily change the information on a page.

    Thanks

    Hmmm, this topic remained? Why wouldn’t my other topic stay open? This is frustrating …

    So I finally found some basic HTML out there to display weather … and it does not work on the site. When I add the HTML in the “code” section of the page, it does not allow me to go back to the “code” page and I get a broken image with linked text … I don’t get this … there is nothing complicated about this!

    <a href="http://www.4wx.com/weather.php?pands=44067"><img
    src="http://www.4wx.com/weather.php?forecast=zone&alt=hwizone7day&daysonly=3&config=png&pands=44067&hwvdisplay=" width="530" height="210" border="0" title="Click for Forecast from 4WX.COM"></a>

    I found even a way better one that I definitely want to use … when I first hit save, it works like a champ. But If I go back into the editor to update the page, it blows it to all hell!!! This is becoming amazingly frustrating …

    <div style='width: 500px; height: 440px; background-image: url( http://vortex.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/backgrounds/green_500x440_bg.jpg ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #336633;' ><div style='height: 420px;' ><script src='http://netweather.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/netweatherV2.asp?partner=netweather&tStyle=whteYell&logo=0&zipcode=44067&lang=eng&size=13&theme=green&metric=0&target=_self'></script></div><div style='text-align: center; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; color: #FFFFFF;' ><a style='color: #FFFFFF' href='http://www.accuweather.com/us/OH/NORTHFIELD/44067/city-weather-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0' >Weather Forecast</a> | <a style='color: #FFFFFF' href='http://www.accuweather.com/maps-satellite.asp' >Weather Maps</a> | <a style='color: #FFFFFF' href='http://www.accuweather.com/index-radar.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&zipcode=44067' >Weather Radar</a> | <a style='color: #FFFFFF' href='http://hurricane.accuweather.com/hurricane/index.asp' >Hurricane Center</a></div></div>

    Very cool, thank you much. The quickphp will definitely be of help, but I don’t think I’m going to use this weather plugin. Do you know of anything out there that would easily use that javascript snippet I posted earlier?

    I tried this out and doesn’t look like it worked: http://www.automateyourbusiness.com/updates/2007/07/18/javascript-in-wordpress-posts/

    Actually, after further reading, it would appear it is because of the WYSIWYG editor. This is unfortunate as the reason behing chooseing WP was to allow non-computer savvy people to be able to easily edit this page and others. I haven’t looked into it yet, but if I disable the WYSIWYG editor, what does it turn it into? Just pure code?
    Thanks again!

    I’m still not grasping something on how WP works … I’ve become so used to being able to use all code types with simple machine forums and tiny portal that I’m not understanding something here.

    So I added the plugin, configured it appropriately, and per the documentation it states to add this wherever you want it to be displayed (I want it on a page):

    <?php if (function_exists('WeatherIcon')) : ?>
         <li>Regina, Saskatchewan
             <ul><?php WeatherIcon(); ?></ul>
         </li>
    <?php endif; ?>

    Well, I added that, and obviously the php is not being picked up. Is this where I would need a php plugin working? I added QuickPhp to my site and still after I add the above code, the php is removed from the page. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks again

    haha, that’s the one I was just working on … getting it setup now …

    Awesome, thank you.

    I’ve been browsing the plugins, especially the maps and weather. I’ve got the maps tackled, but I have not yet found any good ones for weather. Any recommendations and/or any better ways to use the above script I posted earlier?

    Thanks for all your help!

    A bit off topic, but now that I’m starting to use some of these plugins, what exactly does a user mean when they say something like this? Make use of [findusmap] throughout your posts and pages

    After applying a modification, how exactly do I call upon it such as this one?
