Hi Mr. Moose! (I just love typing that ?? )

I just reviewed the WP codex as I am trying to learn the app as you had suggested in a previous ‘rescue’. I am a bit confused by the installing of a plug in.

The codex says to upload the plug in “file” to the plugins folder. But as you know better than I, a plug will have a bunch of pages in it. So my question is then, do you upload the whole uncompressed plug in folder into the plugins directory?

In my brand new install, I have 3 plug ins. If I look in the content/plugin directory, there is just 3 simple files. No folders for those. And if I look through the WP root directory I don’t see anything that looks like a folder for those plug ins.

So in this case, the plug in has oh say 15 files in a directory with the name spellchecker. Should my directory then look like this? content/plugins/spellchecker? or should it just be the one file?

cheers

I too am looking for this functionality. Can you tell me how you are getting the thumbnails up on your site?

cheers

Hi Again Mr. Moose!

Thank you for taking the time to try to answer my question. I will definately try Google and try to learn the program..though I am interested in WP cause I am a writer. I wanted to use WP to publish scenes from scripts and get people to react to the scene and then maybe make suggestions….or vote on the scene. But I sure wish I had the brain for this stuff!

Hi Marc,

What is a ‘quick tag’?

cheers

Frank

btw..what would be really cool is some sort of way of including some of those cool pull quotes into WP from the blog submission page.

cheers

Hi Mr. Moose :>

Thanks for the refrences, but I am thinking that what I need is some sort of add on to the blog submission form, that allows an image to be uploaded at the time of posting. I think CSS might be great for determining if images will be left or right or centered etc. but I can’t imagine hard coding everytime I want to add a thumbnail. As well don’t forget that I wanted a user to be able to click on the thumbnail and go to a larger version of the image.

cheers

Hi Marc,

That is a gorgeous website! I see you are a programmer?

Frank

Hi Marc!

I’m going there right now! Many thanks!

cheers

Frank

Hi Marc,

That was one amazing reference page!! Holy smokes! I ahve bookmarked it for the day that I know enough about coding. many thanks!

cheers

Hey Dave!

Just saw your site and it is awsome! How in the ‘sam hill’ did you do all of that with WP??? Your site is darned inspriational for those of us just starting out!!

If you could figure out how to make something for a non programmer non technical person, I am sure it would not just be me that would love you!

thanks

Frank

except guys….I don’t know my butt from a hole in the ground when it comes to code, css or otherwise :<

Hi David,

Sure..what I am thinking about is similar to what you might see in any newpaper or magazine article where there is picture accompanying a story, and the text wraps around the picture. Sometimes there is a caption below the image.

Here is an example from BBC news:

Ditto for Andertons request…also some way of setting the text stand off from the image so that the images can reflect the blogs style.

Where can I see the new G2? I too am trying to find someone to help me with this kind of integration.

thanks

Frank

Hi Ibessant,

I guess I am way more concerned about this than I should be :> I was just thinking about what happened to phpbb recently….

cheers
