    and when i accept comments in moderation back end it’s slow, i use wp 2.8.2

    so you have approved the comment?
    then it takes a while for the page to re-load?

    The book ive been working with the last few months is:

    “WordPress Plugin Developemnt” – beginners Guide by Vladimir Prelovac
    pick that up from Amazon £15 to 20 bux…

    some websites out there, would be:

    when i first started to develop for wordpress, the best resource would be using the wordpress doc files, along with downloading and reading through other plugins which are out there,

    I find this the best way, not only for helpful tips, but for standasdization, and localisation methods, so im writing the code that way others can follow it and see from a glance whats happening etc..

    hope that helps a bit,

    Cheers

    Hi x3r0ss

    I’m currently working on such a plugin..
    which uses the CStrike 1.6 Server Query class by Markus Schanz

    The plugin has been coded and still in testing stage’s,
    You can view the plugin in action on a clan site which im working on at the moment..

    http://www.homelessclan.co.uk
    the sidebar widget is down the right hand side..

    which just now only displays:

    • Server IP.
    • Port.
    • Current Players / Max Players.
    • Image, Current map.

    although im still looking at other functions which i can introduce before i put it out into the wild…

    looking for feedback, any suggestions?

    Cheers

    Ive been looking into developing a few plugins, and also i find that the register_activation_hook is missing something.
    I’ve not bothered using the Global variables,

    // What happens when the plugin is activated
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'pluginName_activate');

    below is the function which is run on Activation, it will create a categories table (which it dose after checking phpmyadmin)

    function pluginName_activate() {
	// Create New Table
  $query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE pluginName_cat(
	catID INT( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
	catName VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL ,
	catDescription TEXT NOT NULL
       ) ENGINE = MYISAM COMMENT = 'Holds the Category Information';");
// End Query

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO pluginName_cat VALUES ('','catName','Description text is here..'); ");
}// END pluginName_activate

    After de-activating; I have it set to drop the tables it created, then after re-activating the plugin the tables are created but no values are inserted into the table?

    I’m I missing something here also? would I need to use the Global variables,

    Hi Svendsen
    Ive also been using the next Gen gallery to manage all the images etc in our wordpress site..

    The best way i could find to control the images was to start of by making a base “page” -> Gallery,

    this file has its own template file, (ie: same as index.php) but instead of it calling the sidebar(); function, i used the

    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH .'/sidebar_gallery.php'); ?>

    on this page i couldn’t find any dynamic way of producing the Grid view images, so i just created a table and linked all my gallery thumbs to its own page,

    Each Gallery page is a sub-page of Gallery

    so the navigation would look like this
    -Gallery
    –Album1
    –Album2
    –Album3
    etc:

    within the sidebar of the gallery i used the code to grab only the child pages of the main page Gallery, to display a list of all the other albums within the Main Gallery

    <?php if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&echo=0');
	  else
      $children = wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
if ($children) { ?>
<div class="sidebar-box">
<h2>More Albums</h2>
<ul><?php echo $children; ?></ul></div>

    The webpage is here for the example http://www.shugtech.co.uk/gallery

    If anyone else knows of a good way of displaying a Grid view: ie
    One page holds all the thumb nails from each album were each is linked to its own page or full album that would be good.

    thanks for all the comments..

    although i have tried various methods, long name, short name,
    filename variations, file permissions, i still cant seem to make the option for choosing a template file active at all..

    even created new pages(still no option), published them, edit (still no option)

    on the other site i have copied the entire file from which the template was working.. and that still didnt show up in the advance options section..

    its really got me hitting a brick wall..

    has anyone seen the plugin were it changes theme based on url?
    i did see one last week, but i failed to bookmark it.

    the way its setup is all default pages for the template are in the theme folder, “wp-content/themes/thetheme/*files”
    ive created 2 other pages in this folder…

    *blog_header.php
    *blog_page.php

    each have a its own html + wordpress code..
    when i load the blog page i want a different layout,
    ie: more landscape rather than portrait.

    but the option still wont appear to set the template for that page. 🙁

    very frustrating, trying to look for a theme switcher from a URL
    ie: www.mysite.com/index.php?action=chngetheme&theme=MyNewTheme

    but not had much luck

    Hi there, thanks for the reply.
    yea i thought that as well..

    so in the site with no tempalte option i created 2 pages,
    blog_header.php

    with the code

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Header
*/
?>

    even with this code in place when i visit the manage tab, and select the page i want to apply the template to, theres no option for this in the selections below the post. 😐

    even when i created a new page theres still no option to allow for a template to be applied…
