In reply to: Bilingual blog.There are the addins “polyglot” which became “language switcher”
http://www.poplarware.com/downloads/language_switcher
and “gengo”
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gengo/
both are I believe no longer being maintained. The former was maintained till more recently (just last month), while the latter is only really working on word press up to 2.5. I am using the latter. It has a bug or two (in that the categories are not always translated) but other than that it works okay. The problem is that is is preventing me from upgrading which is dangerous.And language_switcher has also stopped being maintained, so it does not seem worth it for me to move.
I wish that this functionality were more supported. Good luck.
The person that created language switcher moved to the rival blog software Drupal, which is made to be multilingual out of the box. I have used Drupal in the past, and found it more difficult to use.

In reply to: [Plugin: Gengo] Gengo & WordPress 2.7 – some nasty flawsFor the categories view, then LostInNetwork’s advice is “Write at least one post in each language in each category and the trouble should be gone.”
That would take me a while to do, so I am not sure if it works.

In reply to: [Plugin: Gengo] Gengo & WordPress 2.7 – some nasty flawsI am getting a similar sort of behaviour to Zor
At the main plage, on the first category is translated (reverse of zor)
At a category page, the category to which the posts displayed belong are translated.
At a post page only the first categoris is translated.I am using 2.7.1
I see that in a pixiline update of gengo 2.5.3 “category description now escaped properly (thanks to Emmanuel)” Would upgrading to 2.5.3 help the situation?
Or would it help to do whatever the first poster did?
I see that Jamie Talbot’s forums, and the multilingual blog is down. There is now a google group thanks to pixiline. It would be nice if a forum existed. Google groups often do not work for me.
Thank you for your response. I did not seem to get a notification, so it is a good thing I noticed. I think would have done it manually too if I had know what the installer was going to do to me.
Fortunately I have found the following file manipulation softwaret that includes a chmod function.

which seems to be able to chmod wp-config.Tim
Is no one else having this problem?

In reply to: Image alignment/text wrapping problemAnother post tagged with alignment had the answer.
Add the following to your theme’s style sheet (the file ending in .css). I put it right at the top.
The first bit puts all images on the left, the second bit creates a class so that you can put them on the right occasionally.
img {
float:left;
padding-right: 7px;
}img.right {
float:right;
padding-left: 7px;
}That way images will be automatically on the left and wrapped in text, unless you add “class=’right'” in the <img … /> tag in the editor.

In reply to: Image alignment/text wrapping problemI wish that WordPress would just align the images to the left or right by default. Most images in blogs are aligned in this way, that is to say wrapped. I have no difficulty inserting
hspace=10 align=left or hspace=10 align=right into the “img” tag but my colleagues do. I don’t want to make them mess with a plug in either. If anywhere knows where the php code is that is generating the tag then please let me know so that I can hack it. If have searched for “img” in upload.php and upload-functions.php with no sucess.Tim

In reply to: Multiple weblogsASAIK you don’t have to have the multiblog blog (or according to the above terminology “site”) in b2evolution. But it is nice to have there for those that want, say, a link blog, mobile phone blog and standard blog on the same page. I am surprised that people find b2evolution so hard to use. I guess there is contiuum between easy of use and geeky functionality going from wordpress and textpattern through b2evolution to, perhaps, nucleus, geeklog and typo3. But I’m not finding b2evolution difficult. I guess I must be semi-geek. It looks very pretty and easy to use to me. I was waiting for it to happen here, before moving my multiple blogs from movable type, but I don’t see the reason to wait. The only problem is the smaller community. I wish WordPress and b2evolution could somehow remerge. They both came from the same source.
By the way, this comment box elongates over the right hand bar. I guess my IE6 is not standards compliant.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: wordpress versus b2evolution?I can’t really see the advantage of WP.
What is it? Why are there so many more people talking about it?
