In reply to: Change checkbox to radio buttonjust surfed to this topic… first of all it does not force ALL future posts to one category. it just lets you choose ONE category for any particular post. i am trying to do this and i now have two drafts here each in their respective categories after changing the inputs to radio buttons.
asking why someone wants to do this..? erm, because perhaps we want to limit a user to be able to post to one category at a time. no, i don’t mean ONLY one category. i mean to let them choose from the list of categories and post to ONE at a time. i’ve seen this discussion taken off topic before, please try and understand.
this does work, but at the moment only for the admin, my lower level users still have checkboxes. strange 😮

In reply to: PayPal Landing Page?Let me try and explain again…at the point payment is completed on PayPal I already have a variable (&item_number – which is set to the value of $Post->ID, so as it is passed for example &item_number=80) passed through the URL, and there is another variable in the URL telling PayPal to direct the user back to my site, for example to say “Thank you for your payment”… All I need to know is how my landing page would be able to say “oh that URL that just directed you here passed me a variable $item_number” – and since the variable would not be null I could use it and etc. etc. please help!

In reply to: Adding to Post Form*UPDATE – I found a neat plugin which lets me add Custom Fields via form elements and I now have my three text inputs showing up on my Write and Edit Post pages. Now all I need is to figure out how to #1 style the values of these Custom Fields and #2 display these Custom Fields for each and every post. Any ideas? I’m guessing that’s simply a few lines of php that could be added to my index.php file? Thanks again for any help!

In reply to: Selective Changesjust incase im confusing anyone, this is what im tryin to say in a nutshell:
– i know that by changing index.php, for example, i can affect the entire site.
– i don’t know how to change the background color of simply one page.
– i want to keep the “theme” for the entire site, but there is one page which i want to have *only* a different background color (it will actually be a background-image placed adjacent to the sidebar, but only on that one page).
– syko is confused because #1 if he changed index.php the changes show up on all pages, and #2 he thinks the “pages” are parts of the database (i.e. ?page=whatever) so he doesn’t know WHAT to edit.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Have Index point to Page?wow nm guys, that plugin does it all. i dunno what i was thinking, i kinda of took the explanation on that site to mean that you have a page_id now that isn’t being used just “pointing” to the front page. but that’s only half of it, it actually does link the two. great stuff.

In reply to: Have Index point to Page?Seems like it would. I am venturing a bit out of my realm of knowledge with WP here, but then what happens with the link I need to have in my navigation? Perhaps I can just then use that plugin to have a link with the “Home” slug point to the front page, which would then be that home.php…but then how do I edit home.php the way I can edit pages in WP now?

In reply to: Have Index point to Page?awesome ill give it a shot.
I am wondering though, it talks about having a “Home” page point to the WP front page. I was moreso hoping to have the WP front page point to a “Home” page that I have created. Seems close but just backwards. I don’t like the default front page that comes up for WP, it’s listing all my categories and such. All I’m looking for in the end is like a “welcome-page” that shows up at http://www.domain.com, *with* a link in the navigation to the right such as “Home” (hence creating a “Home” page in WP).
If WP simply allowed for the “front page” to be edited like any other page this wouldn’t be an issue, and maybe it in fact does. Hope I’m not being too confusing here, we can all create a page within WP which gets added to the navigation, so all I want is to create a page that reads “Home”, and have that page come up at http://www.domain.com, which is different than having that link just bring up the default “front page”.

In reply to: Help Uploading to Multi-hosti apologize for my confusing rant. perhaps im just looking at things wrong here. if mysql/phpmyadmin and all of that goodness is installed on my web-server, perhaps the install will be as straightforward as it was on my home box. i suppose it’s just the fact that im using a cpanel on dilltravel.com that’s throwing me the loop. my current mindset is, as long as i create the database, create a user/pass, and configure WordPress accordingly it should work fine. For some reason, because I’m working with mysql on that cpanel I’m thinking “ok, so will my wordpress install on the subdomain be able to work with the db i create?”

In reply to: Help Uploading to Multi-hostMaybe this will also help. My cpanel on dilltravel.com is where phpmyadmin is located, listings of my SQL databases, *subdomains (i.e. sykoticdesigns.com) and such. Just so it’s understood, yes I am a total n00b at what I’m trying to do here. But I do understand the basics of how this works, I have WordPress setup and running fine on my box at home, but that’s a little different. If I create databases on the cpanel at dilltravel.com, I’m wondering how to tie that into a WordPress install on a subdomain such as sykoticdesigns.com.

In reply to: Help Uploading to Multi-hostWell, as per the instructions for uploading WordPress, the actual path would likely be “www.example.com/newdomain/wordpress”. The “newdomain” is my multi-hosted domain. Perhaps I should elaborate on what I’m doing here. I’m going to register a new domain name, then have a pointer setup so this “newdomain” would look like “newdomain.com” to the outside world, however it would be hosted under “example.com”. I already have this done to my own personal site, “sykoticdesigns.com”, which anyone could also navigate to via “www.dilltravel.com/sykoticdesigns”. I also would not setup the multi-host myself (i.e. I would need to call up my webhost and ask them to add this newdomain to my main domain, “dilltravel.com”..). Hope I’m making sense here.
