  • I turned on this plugin, but I can’t figure out how to make the photo appear with a post on the page. Any plans to tie this to a radio button or somewhere in the admin that allows the admin to activate the photo for each author without hard coding it?

    Forum: Plugins
    In reply to: Need Plugin Ideas

    I’ve got a couple ideas for plugins.

    1. I have no idea what version of WordPress I’m running, but I think I need to upgrade to the new version. Is there a plugin that makes it easier, such as backing up my data for me, so that I don’t have to login to my server and figure it all out?

    2. I would really like to offer Classified Ads at my CoolCarGuy.com site, but I can’t find a plugin that would let me do that. What would be really cool, is if the owner of the site could ad a short description about under each ad. You can see what I’m doing with the articles at http://www.salesfreak.com

    3. I do Movie Reviews at SalesFreak.com and it would be cool to have a plugin that allowed for Movie Reviews or Book Reviews that other people could participate in without having to do the format like I’ve had to do.

    4. How about a plugin that allows for easily leveraging the MySQL aspect of WordPress beyond just the writing feature? For example, if I want to add job postings or matching data based on keywords.

    Anyway, there are a few ideas that I could use. I know I’ve seen other people would like a Classified Ad plugin. Hope it helps and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    I would really like to have a plugin to allow my visitors to post “Classified Ads” to my CoolCarGuy.com and SalesFreak.com websites. If one of these is available, please let me know. I think it would be a very popular plugin and I haven’t been able to find one yet that works within WP. Thanks.

    It worked. Thanks! Now just one more quick question for you. Whenever a post has the & or ” ” in the title it is putting some funky numbers after it…

    <title>Xelr8 Launches Its New “Eat, Drink & Snack System” at SalesFreak.com</title>

    Any suggestions on how to change that issue?

    Thanks again for your help. I must have messed something up before.

    Let me try what you’re doing and see if it works.

    EstJohn: Thanks for the tip. I’ve put a boatload of time into trying to figure this one out. There are some challenges…

    1. The Header File is actually where you need to change the <title> and not the index.php as many of the posts suggested. However, they are different for every theme, which means if that if you switch themes you have to start over.

    2. The second problem though is what you brought up with the “&raquo”, which I really appreciate because I found where I could delete it in the wp-includes / template-functions-general.php When I deleted it, it up a couple of >> in front of each post.

    3. The plugin didn’t work because it’s tied to the index.php file instead of the header.php and it looks for that crazy &raquo seperator. When I used it and made it work, it started putting the title into the page itself (not good).

    Anyway, I’m still working on it. If you have any additional suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

    I’m trying to get the title in my posts to get listed properly and I used the code above, but it resulted in the following…

    Used This Code..
    <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    Getting This Result…
    <title>Sales Freak.com » John & Becky’s Movie Review Of Zathura</title>

    I can’t figure out what the $raquo is all about and the #038 and how to get rid of these in the code.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks.
