1. I am too lazy to take the time to slice it up
2. all I want to do is post 2 sentences in a popup window, but it needs a few wp functions to display information to the user, about why I require registration to post comments.

I use Lightbox 2.0 Plugin. Only issue I had was I needed to manually enter the path (to the plugin) to get it to work.
[/quote]

the instructions say, put the plugin in wp-content/plugins, then activate, and THATS IT,

so I am confused as to what you mean by “needing to manually enter the path to the plugin”

manually enter it WHERE?? in the template? because all the instructions say to do is put it in plugins and activate (shrugs)

I mean,

this one

https://www.m3nt0r.de/blog/lightbox-wordpress-plugin/

was the one I had problems with.. it works when I actiave it, but then if I close my browser window, and reopen it again, the plugin no longer works even though its still activated. I then have to go back into wp-admin and ‘deactivate’ then ‘reactivate’ the plugin to get it working again ?? and it don’t work for my users at all, unless each user had access to deactivate then reactivate that plugin, its a real pain, don’t like it at all, and I wish someone would create a more stable plugin that works with WP 2

I couldn’t get Thickbox, OR the LightBox plugin to work.

it works when I “activate” it, but then when I close the browser window, and reopen it again, it no longer works, and won’t work for my users at all,

so I don’t know how you guys got either one of these plugins to work ??

am using WP 2.0.3

nevermind, I downloaded Wordspew Extended 1.18 instead.

https://www.blog.mediaprojekte.de/cms-systeme/wordpress/wordpress-plugin-wordspew-ajax-livechat-extended/

I didn’t know this existed. thanks to a member of wordpress IRC on freenode for posting this ??

well, does anyone know how to fix wordspew at least?

when user is registered, Guest Name textbox appears, anyone know how to fix this at least?

plugin doesn’t work with wordpress 2.0 when a user is logged in, and is giving me a whole ton if server_log errors.

nevermind, its

$mtdate = get_the_time(‘Ymd’);
instead of
$mtdate = the_time(‘Ymd’);

welllll, I was close…LOL

it is dumb. “site admin” means the site owner, not registered users.
I don’t know who would even want it that way. I’m suprised new users haven’t complained about that one. I wouldn’t care if there was another way to display the username to the blog, but there isn’t.. THAT is dumb.

anythings more appropriate then “site administrator’ I mean common.

or even ‘username’

my lord, why does everyone have to see ‘site admin’
why can’t it display the persons username instead, that is like SOO dumb!!

I tried <?=$profiledata->user_login;?>

but that didn’t seem to work. apparently $profiledata isn’t global.

what does this have to do with a Content Management System?

don’t you guys know what a CMS is?

it doesn’t have anything to do with a Dynamic menu.

a CMS is like, php-nuke, or portal system I guess would be another word to use for it.

Can that be done in wordpress?

because what I would like to do, is use the wordpress user base around my entire site (not just in wordpress, but my entire site) that way if I do create a registration system on my site users don’t have to register twice.

can’t this be done? I mean, I could probably figure it out manually, but hasn’t this been done already so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel so to speak?

ok, I figured this out finally.

Moveable Type defaults to this, and alot of people like it.

what I did was this:
I put

<?php comments_popup_script(400, 500); ?>

in my head section of index.php

then I replaced my comments_link tag with comments_popup_link
which I think it already is in most themes.

You don’t need a comments-popup.php in your template for this to work. In fact I had to delete mine and just use the regular comments.php page from my theme, but I immagine you have to know themes well enough to create your own comments-popup.php for the display to look right.
I ended up removing mine because it didn’t look right with the theme I chose. the simple-green theme. I thought i could just copy the comments.php to comments-popup.php, but it didn’t work. Not only did the script not display correctly, but it didn’t keep me logged in either,
so I don’t know what the deal was, so I just removed it and changed it back to the old way. ??

anyway thats all there is to it.

ok, I commented out the <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
at the end of sp_index.php, and that worked,

but the layout doesn’t look anything like my theme ??

I am having a problem with his tutorial.

I keep getting these PHP warnings:

Warning: main(/home/tcoburn/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/simple-green/searchform.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/tcoburn/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 5

Warning: main(/home/tcoburn/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/simple-green/searchform.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/tcoburn/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 5

Warning: main(): Failed opening ‘/home/tcoburn/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/simple-green/searchform.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/tcoburn/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 5

I looked in the modified sp_index.php to see if I could take out the references to /wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php since I’m not using the default theme, instead I’m using the simple-green theme, which doesn’t have a sidebar.php. so I don’t know how to modify the sp_index.php to reflect this?

I opened up the modified sp_index.php and I see no reference to this,
so I have NO Idea why I am getting these warnings, anyone have any ideas?

that might not be a bad idea.

I am using WordPress 1.2.2 (just installed it today) do the default files allow me to post an attachment to an email like this?

or do I need a plugin or modify the code somehow?

I just have a default 1.2.2 install right now. haven’t even changed the template yet.
