Yeah, I’m an idiot. It’s doing that now. For whatever reason, it wasn’t doing the pictures the first few times I used it.

Anyone?

Hey guys…sorry to open this back up…but I’m wanting to do this again, but this time add an additional category to the mix. Basically, if it is in the “links” or “pages” category…I want the full post. Otherwise, I’d like the post to stay truncated.

The current code I have in there is…

<?php if (in_category('links')) {
                  global $more;
                  $more = 1;
                  the_content();
                  } else truncate_post(410, ""); ?>

I’ve tried it a couple of ways, but what keeps happening is I get duplications of the truncated portions. I’m sure it’s something really simple, but my brain is wracked trying to figure it out.

That worked perfectly. I was actually working with a truncated post instead of an excerpt, but it worked all the same. Thanks!

Yeah, that’s what I figured. But like I said, I’m still fairly new to php and wordpress tags. Can you give an example of the code that would make this possible?

I tried it with another theme to see if it was simply a conflict between the CSS…but it wouldn’t come up on the default theme either.

Everywhere I try to place the code it gets stripped out by the time I look at it in a browser. This is the case in Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

I was able to make the div, so there is a white strip where it should be, but once again, no content is coming through. Just blank.

Any ideas for why this might be would be greatly appreciated. I have been racking my brain on this all day, and it’s frustrating because I’ve seen it working on other people’s sites….

Anyone?

Sorry about double post….not sure how that happened….

Any ideas?

Ah…I forgot the link for my site….

I am working on this at

testing.theparadigmexchange.com

So anyone….does it match now?

It is already in the “UL sidelist” from the beginning of the sidebar…. does it need an additional one? I don’t want it to get messed up by there being to many.

Ok…I think I may have taken care of that though. Zeniph helped me a bit, and I wanted to see if I corrected the problem.

I hate to bump…but…

I have made the change as I described above. But I have no way of checking my work over the next few days.

Does it look pretty much the same from Firefox to IE?

Thanks again…

H.

Ok….I changed the first part. Hopefully that helps.

Now on the DIVs…

Should I place the LI tag before the UL id=”sidelist” tag and after the final UL tag, or somewhere in the specific DIV like this?

<div class="sidebardivs"><H3>
<li><img src="https://www.theparadigmexchange.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/images/tpesearch.jpg"></H3><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?></li>
</div>

Thanks again…
