I really like it! ITs peachy keen.

Dude, I’d like to help but honestly, there is no way I’m going to read all that. Just being honest. Where is the executive summary?

It does display a post, the issue would be figuring out which post to display (dynamically) and then to make sure that post wasn’t displayed twice. Will ponder on this plugin, thanks for the heads up.

Very very interesting!!!! If I put the 2nd loop (the one I created to feature a single post) behind the first (the primary main loop that everyone uses), the keyword code works… switch it back and no worky. [Kind of defeats the purpose]

You are making progress! You sir are a scholar, if we finish this problem, I shall proclaim you a gentleman as well!

What do can you draw from these observations?

It works in the first loop. For me, it works in the custom loop because that is first. But an interesting test, I’ll put my custom one second and see what happens.

Here is the one for Jeromes Keywords: vapourtrails.ca/wp-keywords

And here is your prize!

Q: What is a balanced diet?
A: A cookie in each hand.

See what you can come up with, I can’t see what the problem may be other than to speculate that the plugin tries to run twice but somehow the variables it uses get compromised. I’m no programmer….

Oh the bumping won’t stop. If someone replies with any help what so ever, I will answer the following question: What is a balanced diet?.

Enticing isn’t it!

I think you have something called twice, change this:

Before:
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=daily&showposts=1'); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

After:
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=daily&showposts=1'); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;

Note that I got rid of ?php in order to post the code changes, I don’t know how to post code as text yet, its a friggin mystery to me. The point is get rid of this first instance of “php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();”

I just wrote this up, maybe it helps you out (I haven’t looked yet, but will). Creating a dynamic sticky in Kubrick

Here it is anyway, for those that dig up this thread.

I would love too, but I am hesitant at this point because I have discovered that by having two or more loops, some plugins will stop working. I don’t understand why just yet… the plugins do work, its just they only work on the very first loop. For me, this means that the keyword, meta, and technorati plugins don’t funtion as I’d like them too.

I have posted this question to brains here, so hopefully someone will give up an answer.

Anyone?

Its looking good dude. The only thing is that you might want to make sure to style nested lists in the CSS if you haven’t done so already (ul ul and ul ul ul). Otherwise, the menu lists will look nasty (probably).

I would resent displaying recent posts that I resent. — Could not resist…

In response to Vkarly not wanting to use the ‘on a plate’ method to post stickies — I realize that to some this method may be confusing. However, in the comming days I will re-release that tutorial showing exactly how one can do it step for step with the default (kubrick) theme. Litterally, its as easy as a couple of cut and pastes.

What is “template dependant,” is how your posts are formated for viewing, not how the sticky code itself works.
