so .. is there any working poll plugin for WP 1.5 by now? without undergoing the above ordeals ??

this looks fantastic … thanks again Podz

(nacken on #wordpress)

I am having trouble too. One blog, on WP 1.2.1 does show the sticky checkbox, but when i then go to view site, i get a big fat DB error on top (and i am the site admin and have all the database rights)

on a second blog, which is 1.2.2 simply nothing happens, no sticky check box, no errors.

I have tried to contact Owen, the author, via email and comment on his website, no reply yet. But I guess he is busy.

I tried to look for alternatives, but the only one i found again directed me to Owen’s website .. that must have been a different name he used initially for the plugin

oh .. fantastic to hear from coffe2code him/herself!!! Thanks !

That part

Recently Commented
<?php c2c_get_recently_commented(); ?>

i think i found where i want that … i am having more trouble with the function part … i tried several places in the index.php but it showed up as text … i then wrapped it in <?php ?> tags … did not work either … i’d love to see an example of how an index.php looks like that is using this plugin ..

thanks

I read the directions and the authors website … but it is fairly vague about WHERE to place these 2 things … possibly it is assumed that the plugin user fully understands php, which i do not ?? Thus my question as to where the ‘function’ tag is supposed to be placed within the index.php … and same with the tag that calls the php command to show up at a certain place

i will look around in the menu area, thanks again for the help

Thanks for the help.

I think the first option looks like what I want. I am just not certain where exactly in my index.php I am supposed to place

function c2c_get_recently_commented ($num_posts = 5,
??$format = ”

• %comments_URL%
  %last_comment_date%
  %comments_fancy%

“,
??$categories = ”,
??$order = ‘DESC’,
??$offset = 0,
??$date_format = ‘m/d/Y h:i a’,
??$authors = ”,
??$include_passworded_posts = false)

and then later

Recently Commented
?? <?php c2c_get_recently_commented(3); ?>

to have this appear underneath my search window and above the archives.
I have put my index.php as a textfile here https://nacken.com/nackenindex.txt

any help is highly appreciated

That worked https://nacken.com/nolinkindex.php

but what to delete to get rid of other and meta ?

thanks .. that kinda worked https://nacken.com/xindex.php

but it is somewhat messing with the archive links on the right side .. hmmm …

if i just wanted to get rid of the Links … i just delete the
<?php get_links_list(); ?> ??? right ? will test that

Wow .. i did not even know that an analysis like that exsist … i just may give that plugin a try, once i’ve solved a bunch of other tech probs … but looks like great work !

I am running into the same problem … I have comments off as much as possible … on the main page view there is no comment link anymore … but when you select a single post, it has a commet link, which is inactive (which i knew how to get rid of that too)

if i rename / disable the wp-comments-post.php, would I do any damage to the site? is that a way of getting comments off? like naming it ‘commentspamsuckswp-comments-post.php’ ?

thanks nightmayr …
I think I am still to far to even remotly try something that hands on …
so .. so far what i did was learning the magic of doing a second blog, using the same SQL database … and it lives at nacken.com/dj and i can edit it web based … and sure, it has not all the fun automation ideas i saw mentioned here …
I think i’d be happy enough if i accomplish the following 2 steps …
nacken.com/dj should look like https://nacken.com/dj/index.php?p=4
meaning .. each day it displays the post of the day site with comments and such …
and what was the next thing i wanted ??? .. hmmm
oh yeah .. previous / next buttons to switch between days … i read some stuff .. but could not really find a solution …
Thanks again
