Lulio Sr.

It’s just to simplify site navigation by grouping similar feeds on the same page.

Thank you Jean for your excellent plugin support.

I intend to purchase your Advanced Feeds Bundle in the near future. Hope then to learn enough of the plugin in order to review the product adequately.

Regards,

Lulio

Hello Jean,

My question about feed campaigns comes from the setup used by the FeedWordpress plugin to import RSS feeds, which I have used for quite some time. However, now I realize that with your Category add-on I should be able to classify feed sources to go with my different topics of interest. Is this true?

Hi Jean,

Separate collections of feeds (aka., campaigns) for say, “rice and beans” and “beach sports”.

Based on your tip, I was able to build a script that (finally!) made the “canvas” theme show up on the wordpress admin’s Dashboard. Here’s the listing:

cd ~/Desktop
sudo tar czf canvas.tgz canvas
scp -i /path/key_pair.pem canvas.tgz ec2-user@public_dns_name:~
ssh -i /path/key_pair.pem ec2-user@public_dns_name
sudo tar xzf canvas.tgz
sudo mv canvas /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/
cd /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes
sudo chown -R apache:apache canvas
sudo ls -al canvas

I do appreciate the Webmin feature included with Yapixx.

I still have to figure out how to install the proper File Manager java plugin on my MacBook, so I can use the File Manager module in Webmin. Any pointers on that topic will be very welcome.

As for Oblaksoft, I’m pleased to award the Yapixx/ClouSE product, my own “!!!!!” rating. (Top five exclamation marks!)

Thank you Artem!

Thanks for your prompt reply,

I tried adding the -i flag, and even using “sudo”, gets me a long list of lines like:

~/Desktop/canvas/404.php: Permission denied

I could not see the “Create Pages” button by just deactivatinng/activating the plugin. Had to delete it and installed it again, to get the banner with the button. The pages were indeed created, and I can continue working!

By the way, https://splashingpixels.com/ looks very interesting. Maybe we can do business in the near future.

Thanks again,

Lulio

splashingpixels,

Thanks for replying. I can’t find a reference to how to create a Cart Page, a Checkout Page, etc., in https://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce/.

Can you help me find the specific section that deals with the subject? Do you know of a tutorial video on creating the shop pages?

Thanks,

Lulio

esmi,

In practice, that works fine.

I was just curious about the existence of a placeholder for the stylesheet directory. I think the answer comes from wp-includes/themes.php. However, that would be “above my pay grade”; I’m a plain web designer.

Thanks esmi.

esmi,

I’m sorry, but I don’t quite understand your answer.

Let me rephrase my question. I’m not using twentyeleven as my parent theme. My parent theme doesn’t have support for custom headers. To make it simple, say I want to add the custom headers feature to my child theme by borrowing code from twentyten’s functions.php file:

`// No CSS, just IMG call. The %s is a placeholder for the theme template directory URI.
if ( ! defined( ‘HEADER_IMAGE’ ) )
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE’, ‘%s/images/headers/path.jpg’ );`

My question is about the %s placeholder. It prints the template directory; meaning, the parent’s theme directory URI. Is there a placeholder that would print the child’s theme directory URI (Known in WordPress as the stylesheet directory) instead?

Thanks for your help, Lulio

stvwif, Your explanation is excellent. Thank you.

I find all this very interesting! I guess, it goes with the order that things happen. PHP will first evaluate (run) whatever is within the if wrapper. In this case, the call to the dynamic_sidebar( 'primary-widget-area' ) function outputs the widget markup (that is, provided there are active widgets present) before returning the true/false value.

That last step determines whether the enclosed HTML block (the default sidebar content) gets printed, or not, depending on the resulting if-clause’s boolean value.

Did I get it right?

stvwif, I’m learning my way at developing websites with the WordPress platform. More as a web designer than anything else. Normally, I will generally accept at face value what’s in the documentation (WP codex). However, since a reasonable understanding of dynamic sidebars seem to be essential to working with WP, I decided not to remain with my doubts about the subject. Thanks, for your prompt replies!

Thanks stvwif,

That’s the WP explanation. But, how does WP make it work? According to the PHP Manual

https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php,

when you have PHP code like:

<?php?if?($a?==?5):??>
A?is?equal?to?5
<?php?endif;??>

the HTML block “A?is?equal?to?5” prints out only when the if clause returns true. Otherwise, the code has no output.

The question is then, how does WP make the code “spit out” the (active) widget’s HTML, when the if clause is actually returning a false?

Sorry!

get_included_files() is a PHP function, as denoted by cheesedude. I just misread the reference. The function is documented in the PHP Manual:

https://us.php.net/manual/en/function.get-included-files.php

Using this function seems to be a good tip for debugging WP themes! Any comments on this? Thanks

Where is there any documentation on the get_included_files() function mentioned in the Forum topic by cheesedude ? Thanks

Sorry ipstenu! You’re right.

The “Post Settings” screen option is absent when I switch to the Twenty Ten 1.2 theme. I was working with a theme from Hybrid. Seems like Justin Tadlock added that feature to his Hybrid Core library. I’ll continue working from there.

Again, thanks ipstenu for your help

Thanks ipstenu for providing that link. Interesting stuff, but it doesn’t answer my question on what exactly is meant by “post settings”. (The box is new to 3.1. Version 3.0 had NO such screen option)
