Hi,
I love the design. Thank you very much.

Thanks, i needed that too.

Hi,
I am from Brazil:

Southerngal, thank you so much! The “like this” part is just what i needed to see, that was really very helpfull. I will get it working in no time.
And bestfoot, thanks for the advice too, i will consider the blockers…

Hi, southerngal!
It was your site i saw with this feature that made me think, hey i would like to have that on mine! This is the second time it happens on this forum, the owner of the site i looked at answers me. Makes me think we could have a website listing all the WP blogs out there…
Would you give me a hand? I don’t know any PHP. So, do i have to put anything inside my index.php (like an include or something), and where, to make this come up as a popup? (i only know that i must put a link of course, inside the “menu” div so it goes in the sidebar on the page).
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your reply.
So it is not displayed properly? Do you mean only the &#92? Well, i’d better wait for it to be fixed before i try using it.
And also – this is a php script, so i should save it as “something.php”, right? Then what do i do in my index.php page – i know how to create a link with html using href=”something”, but do i have to place any include in my php header so the thing pops up?
Many questions, uh? Just starting to learn about all this.

Please count me in as a voluntary for translating to portuguese (brazilian). I love WP, and i have got so much help from this forum, this is the minimun i can do.

I never tought it could be so easy to put up a blog. The wp-install amazed me when i ran it – i was prepared to take a heavy beating installing, since i know zero about PHP and all. When i saw the web interface i couldn’t believe.
Thank you and congratulations on your work.

Hi Dougal,
Thank you for your detailed answer.
Please bear with me: from it i understand that most FILES must allow “others” to read and write to them – and that the web server is regarded as “others” (that is a surpirse to me). Am i right? If i am right up to now: if i let “others” read and write to the files then i guess it doesn’t make any difference for security to let “group” too, that makes 0644.
As for DIRECTORIES: my WP instalation is inside a public_html/wp/ directory. I understood that the web server is regarded as “others” and also that it must be able to write to most files (from the above paragraph, if it is right). So i must conclude that the web server and all “others” must have permissions to write and access most or all directories in the instalation, so it would be 0703 for most or all directories (or 0733 if i don’t mind the “group”)? If it must be 0703 and it is about the same being 0733 – and if anyone can get WP and know the filenames for the code files, then it doesn’t matter if “others” can or not read the directories’ tables of contents, and i can just use 755 anyway…
Well, what i was thinking about when i first asked was: if “others” can read an write to the code files in my instalation, and if anyone can know the filenames used (as wp is freely available) and “others” can access the directories, then any ill-intentioned individual can just alter the code in any way he likes!
Am i being paranoid here? Sorry for the hassle, this is my first go with servers and all, and i only now a little about permissions from using Mac OS X.
Thanks again.

Hi,
Please, would you explain what would be the effect of that? I understand that chmod changes the mode, -R means recursively, but after reading the man page i coudn’t really predict what happens from the go+r argument. I can tell what a numeric mode means, but not yet what an operator will do…
Also, i have no idea what XMLRPC is.
On the bright side, still no hacks implemented!
Thank you for your help.

Flickerfly,
Thank you very much for your reply. I was looking exactly at your site when i thought, “how does he do that”? I will copy the file and adapt it, i think i will get it done.
Thanks!

Thank you so much Sushubh, i had just this question too.

Hi,
I am trying to localize WP myself, by hand – and i know near nothing about html, php and all. I have suceeded in editing the index.php file and b2xcomments.php without breaking anything, but there is one word that i can’t get changed.
When one clics on a comment link, a page is loaded showing the comment, together with its author and time of posting. An informative line is printed saying “COMMENT by author @ time”. The words “by” and “@” can be changed by hand because they are written down in the code, but the first word of the line, “Comment” seems to me to be called by the variable comment_type(), and i can’t change that word.
How can i do it?
thanks
