wmdigital…

Did you ever find and/or write this plugin? I would be interested in this as well. At the moment, I’m using CiviCRM on Drupal, but frankly, I find Drupal a bit clunky and overcrowded.

Lemme know, if you get a moment.

thanks for the help, angsuman….

Anyone know about the MySQL and phpMyAdmin versions I’m running… is that the source of my “glob()” error?

So in regard to my post above I have a couple of questions.

Firstly, can I create a second instance of wordpress off of ONE database? That is, can I have Strayhorn running in one folder and create a separate folder for 2.0 (say, ‘wp’ and ‘wordpress’) and have them both run off the same database for testing purposes, or do they need a dedicated instance of the php database for each?

Also,
I’m running phpMyAdmin 2.5.0 and MySQL 4.0.13 – are these too old? Do i need to upgrade one, the other, or both (I’m aware there are newer versions of each available, but I’m usure exactly how old these are). Also, how do I go about upgrading them if need be? Sorry for my n00b-ness, but I really don’t know how all this stuff works very well and I’m currently getting an error if I try to upgrade WordPress to 2.0 (see my post above).

Thanks. Any advice and information is greatly appreciated.

How about simply making them invisible in the admin screen? Possible?

apparently, there is no “list_cats” call in the admin panel. Somehow, the categories get listed by some other function, I guess. I’m looking far and wide for a place where i can remove the default category from the “write” page so that despite everything being IN that category, you never see it. If anyone has an answer, please let me know.

I’ve been searching this topic for a while now and I’m wondering… could one remove the automatically checked box for the default category in the admin page without disabling the default category function (i.e. the line in post.php that sets a category if none are checked)?

I get this error when trying the upgrade:
‘Fatal error: Call to undefined function: glob() in /www/cgi/wordpress/wp-includes/cache.php on line 225’

Not sure if this is a problem in the code or in my site (what does the function “glob” do?), but nonetheless I thought it might be useful for developers working on it.

I get errors with both of those plugins, geetaista. I think I’ve found a simpler way for myself by reducing the calls for categories on my page and then creating an exclusion in each call. I do need to know, however, which admin file contains the call to ‘list_cats’ in the “write” section of the admin screen. I’ll look for it myself and report back if I find it.

Sorry… this was a double-post.

Also…
Will this exclude posts that are double-listed in the new “invisible” category and in some other category? That would kinda defeat the purpose, if true.

thanks maxmanx… that gets rid of the posts when the Loop is called on my pages, but I also need to keep the category from being displayed on my admin screen as well as anywhere else that lists categories… will this accomplish that? If not, is there a simple place where I can modify the list_cats call or something like that, rather than having to edit every individual call to list_cats?

Did you ever find an answer to this? I’m interested also.

I never found the files…. I thought for a time that most of the relevant stuff would be in post.php, but when it wasn’t, I just worked out a way to accomodate starting all my users at level 2 (which is an option in the options menu – “allow new users to publish posts”). Thanks for the help anyway, Michael.

Thanks guys… I’ll just consider the issue resolved. Still not sure what I’m doing to make it show up funny, but hey, as long as it looks good to everyone else.
