In reply to: [Barc Chat] HistoryI have not tested this yet, but does it have basic reporting features such as:
– Page the chat was initiated on
– Duration of the chat
– Monthly/Weekly/Daily reportingHector,
Any chance you had an opportunity to look at this yet?
Thanks in advance!
Héctor, I downloaded the development version, inserted {rating=1} and checked the box for Display Post Rating. All to no avail. Any suggestions as to how to get ratings to appear. (Yes I have the WP-PostRatings plugin installed and working).
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately I had to abandon the use of this plugin, however, it came to light that my theme was missing the wp_head function.
I needed to get this issue resolved quickly, so I do not know if this plugin ever truly worked. Will try again another day. Good luck!

In reply to: a blogroll for each categoryThis works perfectly for what I need, however, I have one question. I placed this code inside a div. How do I get the div to NOT display if there are not any bookmarks related to the category?
In other words, if a user is on a page about X, but there are no Link/Bookmark/Blogroll categories about X – then do not display the div with wp_list_bookmarks.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

In reply to: Permalink screwy-nessI inserted the following in the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]
Changed the Permalinks back to: %postname%
I downloaded and activated the ISAPI Rewrite plugin. Still no go? Also, after I uploaded the modified .htaccess file, it thwarted my CSS, which went non-existent.
WTF????

In reply to: Permalink screwy-nessThe hosting company is now telling me that
this server is using Helicon ISAPI Rewrite 3. You will need to put your rewrite rules in .htaccess
I have my head up my derriere when it comes to this kind of stuff. Does anyone know how I would adjust my .htaccess for Helicon ISAPI Rewrite 3?
Thanks again to anyone willing to help ~

In reply to: Permalink screwy-nessI create a web.config file with the following markup:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <system.web> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll"> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.web> </configuration>
Uploaded it to the root of the site and adjusted the Permalinks to %postname% but am still unable to get this to work properly. What am I doing wrong?

In reply to: Permalink screwy-nessAll signs point to the mod_rewrite issue (including straight from the hosting company’s mouth – errr, I mean support ticket). I’ll be researching this a bit more, but wanted to document this for anyone else who runs into the same issue.
Question: Where, or how, do I locate the “web.config file in the WordPress folder”? I have basic FTP access and am not sure where I need to look…

In reply to: Permalink screwy-nessI do have category and archive in the theme and those work just fine. Could this possibly be a server setting?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Permalink screwy-nessI don’t think I clearly stated what I’m trying to do, so let me back up.
I would like to change the Permalink to a custom structure, as I’ve done many, many times before by simply inserting /%postname%/. For whatever reason this isn’t working and index.php is required before /%postname%/ ? This doesn’t make sense and furthermore doesn’t make the Permalink structure pretty either – which is the whole point of what I’m trying to do.
So I inserted the Loop code from the ‘Classic’ theme’s index.php file and got nowhere with it. For whatever reason /index.php is required (or by default if using one of the other custom structures) for any of the Permalinks to work.
This is not the case if I were to leave it as-is with the default structure of say ?p=1 or ?cat=1.
I’m at a loss as to where this problem originates…or how to solve it.
Thanks again to anyone willing to assist.

In reply to: different backgrounds in wordpress pagesElliot Jay Stocks had a post on this sometime back. Scour the web for that. You can hack with CSS, a bunch of jpegs and a little code in the header.

In reply to: Am I an idiot?Crondeau,
That did it! I was making the mistake of naming my custom sidebar ‘home-sidebar’. The fundamental element here is that the sidebar must start with the name ‘sidebar-[fill in the blank]’
Thank You again….you’ve ended hours of endless searching.
I sort of solved this dilemma:
<?php if (is_category('6')) { echo '<h2>'; query_posts(''); the_title(); echo '</h2>'; echo '<p>'; query_posts(''); the_content(); echo '</p>'; } ?>
I’m sure there’s a less sloppy way to code this, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t correct on some level either. Regardless, it’s working for what I need.
This was an oversight on my part and the site is already built (with many posts). Also, tags were a large priority. I’ve used pages in the past and am familiar with templates. I need the equivalent for categories and posts.
