That’s great, thanks so much!
Managed to play around with it a little, and it seems to be working now.

The next thing I have to work out is whether I can make the custom fields have their own box underneath the main content, rather than having to add them from the dropdown each time.

Also, if I want to get rid of the description in the posts page and search results page, should I be changing the loop.php to show an excerpt instead?

Ok I’ve solved the problem of customizing how posts are displayed on the page. I forgot to look in the look.php file!

The other problem is wanting the custom post types to show only the excerpt, whereas regular blog posts show the whole thing.

I’ve got a ‘blog’ page where regular blog posts will show in full, and I have a ‘jobs’ page where I want a list of all jobs with the job title + excerpt only

Any ideas?

Thanks

I’ve solved it! I’m not sure exactly how, but I tried a couple of different things and it now seems to be working.

Many thanks for your help JPry, you definitely got me on the right track and pointed me in the right direction.

I added a <base> tag to the head of the page, and changed the Kimili settings and it seems to have worked. I noticed that if I replaced the swf with a jpg it wouldn’t work either, so there was a problem with the paths somewhere. Anyway the base tag seems to have solved it

Thanks!

Ah that’s a good point. No it doesn’t work that way

the root page works, but the permalink to the home/root page doesn’t work

I very much appreciate your help with this! Thanks

I’ve tried a couple of different settings for the base

as the wordpress site in a subfolder at the moment I used this for the base

http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/client/wordpress/flash

Inside the flash folder I then put the xml file, the images and the swf file

The flash file is then ‘file.swf’

I don’t know if the base is the right way to do it, and I also wasn’t sure where it would automatically think the root was.

I’ll try embedding it into a post or a page now

many thanks for your help

Using the kimil flash embed plug in, in the actual header file all I put is:

[kml_flashembed movie="filename.swf" width="800" height="200"]

If I view the page source, this is what it generates

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
			id="fm_filename_32062554"
			class="flashmovie"
			width="800"
			height="200">
	<param name="movie" value="filename.swf" />
	<!--[if !IE]>-->
	<object	type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
			data="filename.swf"
			name="fm_filename_32062554"
			width="800"
			height="200">
	<!--<![endif]--> 

	<!--[if !IE]>-->
	</object>
	<!--<![endif]-->
</object>

There’s also these options in the settings page of the plug in

But I’m not sure whether any of them should be in the header code. As it is now, with the code above it works fine on the homepage and if I turn off permalinks it works on every page.

Thanks!

Any other ideas, I’ve got it working with /index.php/ but the guy who’s site it is would much rather without as it is going to be a website rather than a blog

I tried a plugin that was meant to get around it, but that didn’t work either it just stopped my /index.php/ permalinks from working aswell

Anything else to try would be much appreciated, I saw there was a couple of things in the official wordpress guide but wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to do the IIS 7 mods
