In reply to: AJAX Banner RotatorI just popped a small slideshow into the sidebar at valporadio.com using smoothgallery 2.0 and the samsarin php widget. I just cut ‘n’ pasted from the upsilon theme at livingos.com, with a few adjustments. Works fine.

In reply to: AJAX Banner RotatorYou can check out the Upsilon theme at livingos.com for one example of how SmoothGallery can be integrated into a WordPress theme. It works fine for me.
I’m just about to try it on a different site, integrating it myself. That’s why I’m browsing the forums… 🙂

In reply to: Triggers fatal error2.2.1 isn’t letting me install it, giving me the “triggers fatal error” error message.
I’m guessing it’s conflicting with another plugin, but I haven’t gone to the trouble yet of deactivating them all one-by-one to find out which it is…
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Triggers fatal errorI got here from the Pre-Publish Reminders List plug-in page. So I’m guessing he’s talking about that. (See the tag above, too…)

In reply to: Mac OS X Tiger database connection problems (and solution)I tried the symlink suggestion given by johnsel, and it worked for me on OS X 10.4.7…

In reply to: The really NEW Theme ViewerAh… Has alphabetical sort been available since the beginning? I think what was in my head was that there’s no (good, easy) way to jump to a particular part of the alphabet, or to know at a glance what part you’re in. You have to hover over a thumbnail to see the theme name, then jump randomly forward, bit by bit, until you get to the letters you’re looking for. A bit awkward.

In reply to: The really NEW Theme ViewerTo answer your questions, Silkjaer: Yes. 🙂
To me, theme voting/rating and a download counter would really be helpful, especially if (1) you can sort by them and (2) you can see that information in the thumbnail view. I’ve often wondered why you don’t offer an alphabetical sort, too. I know, I could search for it, but if I don’t really remember the name, or how it’s spelled, then bowsing alphabetical comes in handy.
I really only use the thumbnail view for browsing. Then I click to the info page, then the demo.
I’d also love to be able to search by features, somehow (maybe tagging works for this). For example, if I’m looking for themes that are set up to support the widgets plugin (or any other plugin) out of the box. Or if I’m looking for themes that fit an 800×600 resolution screen without a horizontal scrollbar. That last one’s a feature I continually look for, because sometimes it’s a dealbreaker. So I guess a “minimum resolution” descriptor or something.
HA! Now that I’ve typed all that, I went back & noticed that some of those are already implemented in the drop-down box. They didn’t used to be, but because they’re hidden in that drop-down, I didn’t know they’d been added! Good work!

In reply to: Trouble moving WP to new server, same domain nameFixed it. Some of the files must have been getting bonkered in the upload. I just had to keep overwriting files until I fixed it. (One little plug-in file was getting goofed up somehow…) Seems to work now! 🙂
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Trouble moving WP to new server, same domain nameAack. All the files are there, but they’re spitting out errors, and now I can’t login to the admin panel. Good grief.
Oh well. Thanks for the help!
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Trouble moving WP to new server, same domain nameGood grief! The files uploaded OK… but they hadn’t all downloaded from the previous server! SmartFTP kept crapping out on me while I was doing that, and I didn’t even notice that it missed half my files. I didn’t even have a themes folder! I’m re-downloading & uploading now…
Doh!

In reply to: Trouble moving WP to new server, same domain nameI’ll try that. I think all the files are there, but I’m not sure. I thought maybe it was a PATH issue… but maybe the upload partially failed. Thanks!

In reply to: Trouble moving WP to new server, same domain nameOh, I should mention, that the blog is installed in the “interact” directory. The root level index.php is a static front page that accesses files. But I can’t get into the admin pages or anything…

In reply to: Installing a different copy of WP in a different directory..?Or just create a new database for each WP installation. That’s what Fantastico does when I install from my webhost’s control panel.

In reply to: Post expires after set date or number of days.Cool, thanks. 🙂 Seems simple enough… I’ll have to try it. 🙂

In reply to: Post expires after set date or number of days.And now that wiki page is lost… evidently. Anybody know what that code was?
I use the EventCalendar 3 plugin for coming events… They vanish out of the list once they are past. But I’d love to know how to make other, non-calendar posts expire…
