<?php query_posts(‘category_name=nameHere’); // exclude all except this category ?>
<!– begin The Loop –>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><?php the_date(”,'<span class=”date”>’,'</span>’); ?>

In reply to: error adding images to a postThanks Spencerp…
went, looked and determined this isn’t the same. [close] but not the same.
I do think I did an upgrade [life has been really busy -to remember it all]
the upgrade was from WP 2.01 to WP 2.04 and that’s when this started…hmm

In reply to: WordPress as multi user portal?robust “search”?
The built-in search is pretty robust (sometimes a bit too much robust)
It sounds like you want to build a “personals” site…I’m not sure all the pieces exist to do one in WordPress yet…but good luck..!

In reply to: WordPress as multi user portal?Brewster –
I am running such a site.
100% WordPress.
Using the templates by moilio.org for looks.
XForum plug-in for the Forum (works great)
over 300+ members (so far) (it’s a members-only site; password protected etc)
I use Event Calendar (not the current version) for the calendar so iCal users can subscribe to the multiposted event calendar
User searchable and user postable (limited categories etc)I got all the help I needed to build it here in these forums with these great folks, and by doing a lot of trial and error building and re-building.
Since it is member-specific I can’t let everyone in to see it; But if you’d like to pepper me with questions about how/what etc…I’ll try as I can to open up any doors of knowledge and point you to resources and people who know better than I.

In reply to: why doesn’t “Next” or “Previous” work?Thanks for the feedback – now that I’ve added the
php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, __(‘« Previous Page’), __(‘Next Page »’));
to the page I DO get a “Previous” and “Next” – but the data displayed is the same from page to page.
Instead of actually displaying older (or newer) posts it just displaying the same posts.any idea what’s going on?

In reply to: WordPress SMF/Portal Plugin Released.I’m “experimenting” with this now and hit a ‘wall’.
I’ve got a solid WordPress 2 installation that has been running a while and I downloaded and installed the SMF version1.0.7 last night and it was working (I guess – I mean it looked alright)…so then I followed the instructions for installing Enigma 2.0(Rc1) and now I’m flat up against a “Fatal Error”
I posted all the details at the SMF forums (as advised in the documentation – yet no one has a clue or has responded…anyone here help out?
problem detailed below…
————————
I saw a post in the wordpress forums about a bridge between WordPress and SMF (Enigma2…etc).
So I took my exisiting WordPress 2.02 install which is still working great. Installed SMF 1.0.7 into a /forum directory. Then followed the (well detailed) instructions to install Enigma2 on top of SMF (1.0.7).
After running the install routine I’m presented with a screen that shows an Enigma 2 header; a couple of SMF info boxes (user info on the left, news box on the right; with the Search field below left and “Key Stats” below right) then a error line which reads…
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: menu() in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/forum/Sources/Load.php(1040) : eval()’d code on line 329”
So I looked up line “329” in Sources/Load.php and it reads…
// Hacker… you can’t see this topic, I’ll tell you that. (but moderators can!)
followed by this line of code
if (!empty($board_info[‘error’]) && !($board_info[‘error’] == ‘access’ && $user_info[‘is_mod’]))So my questions are:
Did I get this error because I had an empty SMF forum? (no posts)
Or
Is there likely something I did incorrectly in the installation? (I can’t imagine what I triple-checked the instructions)I realize I’m not complete with the Bridging of WordPress (there is still a couple of other steps to go – but this looks like a “showstopper” and I need to know to decide whether to just wipe it all out and start over – or if I can fix this somehow…
anyone know what happened?
thanks in advance…
