Moshu,
THanks for the reply. Yes I did read the article. SInce I am not proficient, critical thinking isn’t coming soon. ??

ANyway, thanks for your suggestion. I will follow the same.

I know it is a weird request. But I fell in love with WP and one of the template (free).
Unfortunately, I did the page for one of my colleague, and he doesn’t want the posts to show up in the index.php but wish to use all features of WP.

I have retained all sidebar features and posts that will eventually show up if somebody clicks on the category link.

Could you please suggest alternate ways where index.php is just with some static content?

Sorry again if it is weird request.

drb

I guess it must be a daft question.
I really can’t think of anything else.
please?

Bumping up…
Probably there might be different free php script that does the same but confines to web standards. Can anybody suggest me? or is there a better way to display tables from mysql in wordpress?

Thanks
drb

I am using ‘conundrum’ wordpress theme from https://www.mikelothar.com

THe page I created with above code- purely contains only that and nothing else.

Part of the source code,with the table top:
<div id=”toplines”>xl3</div>

<table cellspacing=”0″ id=”content”>
<tr>
<td id=”left”>

<div>

<div id=”post-43″>
<h2>xl3</h2>
<div class=”posts”> Dump a database to HTML tables
<TABLE BORDER=”1″>
<TR>
<TD>cat_ID</TD>
<TD>cat_name</TD>
<TD>category_nicename</TD>
<TD>category_description</TD>
<TD>category_parent</TD>
<TD>category_count</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>1</TD>
<TD>Miscellaneous</TD>
<TD>misc</TD>
………..

xl3 is the heading for the page.
So I should check ID-toplines and ID-post (43 is the page number) in style.css .

I changed the width of almost every div that I could find, still, the table stayed at the bottom.

thanks,

drb

Oh…it came out with 58 errors. especially that encompassed the table. Like:
Error Line 124 column 14: there is no attribute “BORDER”.
<TABLE BORDER=”1″>
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the “Strict” document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the “Transitional” document type to get the “target” attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as “marginheight” (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

Error Line 124 column 17: element “TABLE” undefined.
<TABLE BORDER=”1″>
You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:

incorrect use of the “Strict” document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the “Frameset” document type to get the “<frameset>” element),
by using vendor proprietary extensions such as “<spacer>” or “<marquee>” (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case.

?

Error Line 125 column 3: element “TR” undefined.
<TR>
?

Error Line 126 column 3: element “TD” undefined.
<TD>cat_ID</TD>
?

Error Line 127 column 3: element “TD” undefined.
<TD>cat_name</TD>
?

Error Line 128 column 3: element “TD” undefined.

Strangely, WP parts also had some errors-but they might be due to the template that I am using.

Nevertheless, now I figured out it doesn’t confirm to W3C standard and all my programs such excel to html and mysql to html (through php as my above example) all have the same problem.

If I alter the codes like putting border=”1″, then php script quits functioning.

any suggestions please?

sorry. the page is on a secure server. Can I help in any other way? Please?

unfortunately I have xls converter which can’t be optimized. Hence I have to manually edit those files either to lower case or within quotes as suggested.

Is there an easier way to mass edit files like that?

thanks,

drb

can somebody throw in light on the above issue?
if the codes are in CAPS, then table appears way bottom of the page. If it is lowercase, appears normally (top of page).

Why is it behaving like that?

I have turned off rich text editor in 2 places. So it is not functional.

Thanks,

drb

OOps! I got it to work.

But now it is showing at the bottom of the page and not on top (it is the only code in the page)

All were in CAPS and when I changed to lowercase,it appeared normally.

I have no control on case formatting in xls converter, can I automatically convert whatever I paste in WP to lowercase?

drb

THanks. Great plugin.
I understood everything except txt files.

I am not sure what to write in those text files?.
How do I do this for multiple banners?

thanks,

drb

Site is down. But i was able to download some of his themes from here.

Thanks,

drb

Unfortunately, there is nothing that is similar to scienceblogs theme.

Any suggestions, how to go about it?

thanks,

drb

Oops! I got it.changed the text color to black

Sorry, even I got confused after reading my post.

I’ll try to be clear.
what I am trying to is not to show the posts, comments on index page when somebody visits the blog. It should just have the
<div id=”content”>
<p align=”justify”>some stuff that i have here….

under
<?php get_header(); ?>

Then when somebody clicks on categories, or archives, they should be able to see the posts.

So on the whole, no posts, comments, etc on index.page.

Is that possible?

(probably I will look for some ‘top 5 recent posts’ plugin elsewhere to display the list in sidebar.

thanks,

drb

But the posts, comments section should be functional.
