Joen wrote a little guide on seperating Track/Pingbacks for your comments page. Perhaps the same method can be applied to the recent comments plugin (or whatever you are using to display them).

Here is the link to the guide.

This is sad news… Good luck to you, Moose!

Alternately, you could create a home.php template file if you would rather not use a plugin. Check this out for more info:
Theme Development

Hope that helped a little!

I really hate bumping things, but the lack of bold for new topics, and the fact that the thread was buried seven pages deep (didn’t take long for that to happen, heh) kind of made it a necessity.

Surely I can’t be the only one that has this problem, can I? Anyway, I hope someone takes the time to look at, and hopefully reply with some kind of direction because I am still stumped.

Thanks again everyone, and I’m sorry for the bump.

No problem, recog. Glad it worked out for ya. ??

Rather than using a plugin to set a page as the home page, couldn’t the home.php template be used instead. From what I understand, home.php is actually looked for before index.php (via wordpress).

I always see people mentioning the plugin that allows you to set a page for the home page, but never see home.php mentioned. Just thought I would add that bit.

I edited my InsertLink function to actually prompt me for a relationship, just in case I’m not linking to something external and still want to assign one to it (don’t ask why, but it seemed like a good idea at the time, heh). Perhaps you might find it useful. Also note that I have another prompt at the end to enter a title for the link… Yeah, I’m too lazy to manually add this stuff…

Here’s the code I’m using:

edButtons[i].tagStart = '<a href="' + URL + '" rel="' + prompt('Enter a relationship for the link', '') + '" title="' + prompt('Enter a title for the link', '') + '">';

Not to take “business” away from WordPress, but if you’re looking for a real good web comic script that is php-powered, you should check out btPHP.

The layouts and template system is very versitile, and you can use either straight php, or Smarty for styles/layout. The code is clean and fast, so you might want to check that out. Hope this helped a little, and wasn’t too late…

Localizing WordPress

Take a look under the “Localization Technology” heading. It’ll tell you exactly what _e(‘message’) and __(‘message’) is for. Hope that helps a little.

I’m sorry I didn’t reply sooner, guys. I honestly lost sight of this thread (I really need to start making use of the RSS feeds).

I had to dig for an old version of my style (pre-1.5) to remember how I did it, exactly. Remember, this is based off of Scripty’s code to separate the ping/trackbacks and comments into separate lists.

I used the <?php mw_trackbacks() ?> function as follows:

<h4><?php mw_trackbacks(count) ?> Loved Me Elsewhere</h4>
<ol class="commentlist">
<li class="comment">blah blah code here</li>
<ol>

For the <?php mw_comments() ?> function, I did the same thing:

<h4><?php mw_comments(count) ?> Loved Me Right Here</h4>
<ol class="commentlist">
<li class="comment">blah blah code here</li>
<ol>

This returned the numbers of Ping/Trackbacks above the separated Ping/Trackback list, as well as the number of comments above the comment list.

I didn’t actually replace anything; only added those two functions to my wp-comments.php file (this was with version 1.21, remember). When I installed 1.5 locally and upgraded my style to a theme, I noticed that Scripty’s code no longer worked (different calls, I guess… not too sure there), so I just deactivated Eric’s plugin and gave up on separating comments from track/pingbacks. Hope that helped a little,

By the way, here is a link to my old wp-comments file so you can see what I mean more clearly. Also, I’m terribly sorry if I totally screw up the page with pasting that code. Color me stupid but I still can’t figure out what “Put code in between backticks” means. Again, I’m sorry if I bork everything. (EDIT: Hey cool. I finally got it… and it seems that my server isn’t supporting .phps files. I’ll have to figure that one out tomorrow. Sorry it doesn’t look nice.)

I used to use that plugin in conjunction with ScriptyGoddess’ Comment & Trackback seperation hack with 1.2, however neither seem to be working with 1.5 yet. Well, the mw_comments function works (it’ll tally all comments and trackbacks), but the mw_trackbacks doesn’t (doesn’t return anything).

I used to use both those functions on my comments page, with trackback on top of the comments. It worked like a champ and it’s something I miss. Hopefully both will get updated soon.

Pictorialis is probably what you’re looking for, kuttnhaste ??

It might be best to hold off on trying to get G2 working with WordPress. Since it’s still in alpha stages (G2, not WP), there’s a good chance that the database is going to be changing around a lot. Whatever work you do could be broken from one alpha to the next.

I’m waiting for it to hit beta before I mess around with it, personally. Of course, if you know that the database structure wont be changing (since you’re helping out on the project) I’ll poke around and report my findings. ?? Lemmie know if you can give a solid answer on the database.

Why didnt you just consolidate your 3 topics about (almost) the same thing, and post it into the Miscellaneous forum? All of these seem like more work than needed, as macmanx pointed out in another thread.

PS – Ignore the clicky link, comment. Seems to do it automatically. The little note for allowed tags kinda threw me off.
