    vkaryl,

    I’ll install it on one of my 2.0.1 blogs this weekend, and see how that works. That could very simply be the issue.

    Cal, have you compared this tool on the two main versions now…1.5.2 and 2.0.1, to see what differences there might be? I’m assuming that different themes may throw a monkey wrench into the mix with some theme-specific code.

    Thanks for your help.

    vkaryl,
    Nope, no commenting out…here’s the code I’m using in the post.php in the ‘connections’ theme.

    <p class="post-date"><?php the_time('D j M Y'); ?></p>
    <div class="post-info"><h2 class="post-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    Posted by <?php the_author(); ?> under <?php the_category(' , '); ?><?php edit_post_link('(edit this)'); ?><br/><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '[%] Comments'); ?>&nbsp; </div>
    <div class="post-content">
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <div class="post-info">
    <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
    <center>[ <em>There are <?php echo WordCount(1, $post -> ID); ?> words in this post, with <?php echo CharCounter($post -> ID, 0); ?> Chars, amounting to <?php echo WordCount(1, 0); ?> BlogWords! </em> ] <br/>

    <?php if (function_exists('esbn_output')) esbn_output($id); ?></center>

    </div>
    <div class="post-footer">&nbsp; </div>
    </div>

    Cal,

    The username is the same … lower case.

    Looks like a great tool. Can’t wait to get it going.

    Hi Cal,
    I’ve got it installed on my blog,the plugin is activated, I have setup an ESBN account, the user name is set in the plugin management screen, but I get an error code…E040 – Missing author when I make a posting. Site is http://www.cosmicechoes.org, and I have a test posting at the top of the page. Running 1.5.2. Ideas?

    Had the same problem on one of my WP installs. Posted a help message here…someone recommended running the upgrade script…it fixed the problem.

    Try it…can’t hurt.

    The Regulus theme creats the buttons for the HOME and other pages, by using CSS to create the link to any new PAGE you add. Simply add a page to your blog, and Regulus will add the Page name to a new button with correct navigation to the new page. Best stick with one word page names tho…it will take longer names and stack the words vertically, which may not look good in your layout. Not sure about the errors you have..mine works fine.

    Very well done… gonna share it eventually?

    Impressive…on first look, clean and simple. Full of bells and whistles…yet…not.

    I like it…put me on your list to download when you release it.

    xavic,
    Thanks…look forward to what you may come up with. Couple of suggestions for future plans. Maybe add a tab to the admin section with a list of function calls, including control buttons for activate/deactivate link on sidebar pages forum link, to do list for future plans (maybe call a page up from your site with status of plugin, version, additions, issues, etc), and definitely control for forum/postings/any other content display tool. And, since color is a key factor to meshing the forum with a current site theme, why not have a color picker tool right there on the config screen to get the color needed.

    Keep up the great work…

    Xavic…now that it’s working…

    http://www.survivalring.org/wordpress/?a=xdforum&xdforum_action=viewforum&xf_id=1

    This page is the first forum. The two topics have the alternating background colors.

    http://www.survivalring.org/wordpress/?a=xdforum&xdforum_action=viewthread&xf_id=1&xt_id=2

    This is the topic page, with two posts. Notice there is no cell color background for this page. Would it be possible to add background color control in the FORUM SETTINGS page, so that the background graphic/color of the overall Wp theme is not showing behind the actual forum postings? Does this make sense? Or, maybe this is something that might better be done in the stylesheet. Thoughts?

    Again, thanks…cool tool…

    Hey Xavic…

    Got it working. Took the Connections theme MAIN page and copied all the code from it. Created a NEW xdforumtemplate.php blank file. Pasted the MAIN php code into the blank page, sliced out the LOOP function, added the xdforum function…

    <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
    <?php xdforum_process(); ?>
    </div>

    and then found your page info /wpinstalldir/?a=xdforum and poof…there it was. Need to tweak the colors abit, but it’s there, and it works.

    THANK YOU Sir…check it out.

    Hi Xavic,
    Latest build works great as far as admin sections…no more double /dir/dir/ issues. I can get to all three admin pages with no erros…But…

    This install broke my pages display code in my sidebar, which before (previous versions of xdforum) would show the “forums” link to the page. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the address is to the actual forum page to see if there is any forum working.

    Maybe you could add a variable on the FORUM SETTINGS page to show the WP admin the address of the FORUMS page so they can take a look at it, and maybe copy/paste the link into other parts of their site (header/footer/sidebar/dropdown menus/etc.

    You’re making progress with this one…really looking forward to getting it 100% on my site. Keep up the work.

    Details..using connections theme, WP 1.5.1.3.
    site address for WP

    I think counterize is great. I’ve got a Stats block on my 1.5 Wp blog that I’ve combined CyberStats with Counterize, as well as Wordcount and CharCount…all WP plugins…check it out…in the sidebar at

    http://www.cosmicechoes.org

    BAStats will also keep track of everything else, including search strings, referrers, hosts, and more, and all is available from the Admin section on the Dashboard page once installed, activated, and setup. BAstats keeps you updated, without giving the info to the visitors. The other tools above let you share as much as you want.

    I have a video blog to share my Telly award winning PSA series…check out http://www.yaaaonline.com. View the source, and grab the embed code.

    As soon as I figure out how to make plugins, I’ll create one for this method, so it’s a button click away, and all you have to do is upload.

    Just make sure your vids are optimized for the web…

    Rich

    It’s up and working now..just for the file set.
