Can someone give me a clue on how to exclude childpages from the Blix navigation bar? Totally lost here!

o… and at the same time, I want to make a custom sidebar, sidebar2, that loads with each page and displays child pages of that one!

(if it were me I would do it all manually, but its for another…)

Thanks!

I read about multiple loops (changed a bunch of things on my sites). In the end however I found this ‘checkbook’ in php/mysql: https://eltonwilson.com/index.php?programs=xvf97
which was exactly what we needed and so simple. It took hours to find it! Weird.

However, I still think it would be great to integrate more simple project management functions into WordPress like the event calendar plugin.
Thanks.

This sounds great. A little like the Event Calender plugin which we will also use. (in a deadline, will get back later). There are many projects now I am involved with that don’t need complicated project management tools, but they do need simple tables.. using divs like: https://www.computerfinearts.com/collection/walczak/futureface/

I searched also, but none had simple setup instructions that I could understand… were there any you thought were real simple?

Thanks
We dont actually wish to use any 3rd party software.. if possible… just create something…. using php and mysql? That would allow several registered users to update data in particular fields online? (my ID, the receipt ID, short description, cost and total from a starting sum)
what we want to do sounds so simple, there must be some hard reason it hasnt been done… php and mysql seem married for just this reason?

Not just for the above use, but for many possible uses like this?

Unfortunately I am snowed in with work until October, will then try to do learn php! However, I am sure I will not know how to integrate it to WP.

yes you are right, I was wrong. I was so intent on using the csstyle changing plugin I hadnt read about page.php

sorry to trouble.

Yes this is exactly what I did next. I made a homepage.php template, with a new style called post2, which I added to the style.css and made the static front page from homepage.php.

Exactly the same problem has occurred. If I go to:
https://www.computerfinearts.com/collection/walczak/futureface/home
then the layout is fine
If I go:
https://www.computerfinearts.com/collection/walczak/futureface/
the content is correct, but it appears to default to the ‘normal’ layout for the rest of the site.

Any ideas?

As long as the applet is on the same website, something like the following worked for us, inside a page:
<applet code="SomeApplet.class" width=480 height=240 codebase="https://www.yoururl.com/wp-content/applet";>
<param name="iconwidth" value="48">
</param><param name="iconheight" value="48">
</param></applet>

In case anyone needs to know!

I have a small problem with Static Front Page plugin and the Per-Post Styles plugin…
https://www.blindmuse.com/blog/2004/05/27/per-post-styles/
My static front page has a different style from the rest of the blog, as using the perpoststyles plugin. So, when I go:
https://…..blog/home/
I get the correct style
when I go to
https://…..blog/
I get the style of the rest of the blog, even tho I get the correct static page…

Thanks
But to have a unique icon for everything in a sidebar… pages, categories, link categories, the only way to keep me sane is for them to all be ‘links’ instead, where I can keep track and be consistent within a single admin page. I think?

It suddenly occurred to me that a simple solution is to have everything be a link, including categories, pages etc. When you create an individual link you can also specify an individual icon.

So there really is no solution then!
For this site its fine.

In the end, I think this is because you can only do a carraige return and a new single space between paragraphs, clicking ‘enter’ three times does nothing. Why? Perhaps there is a way? Its the only future feature that is important to me, as there are dozens of times in my other blogs where I want this.

Wow,

I put this in the style.css and it actually worked! This with all the other help –

Thanks!

Silly me. Ok, no other DIV.
With the above, my posts end nicely, but I still get image stepping when I have two images inside a post and the first doesnt have enough text to wrap it.

O well, will wait until I see your index, perhaps there is something I have missing.
Actually I continue to like to use the long blank gif as it spaces the text also, and its easy now I have it set up!
Thanks again

Thanks enormously for you help.
Actually the code was already in the css style of the template I was using, but not in the index.php main template file at the posting area.
– I have the clearfix code in the style.css
– My posted texts are inside a Div class called “storycontent”, inside that I made another Div with the class “excerpt-post clearfix”, as you say splendidly above?
– Then if I have two images wrapping inside a post, to stop the second ‘stairstep’ inside the first, between the two I insert <div style="clear:both;"></div>

Or is there some way to automate the third step and I have misunderstood?

Sorry, and I thought I was being so clear!
Inside EACH post, I want one image at the top left, with some text on the right. Underneath that I want another image on the bottom left, with more text to the right of that.

If I don’t write enough text, so the wrapping doesnt fill the image, then the 2nd image ends up being wrapped inside the first! Or worse, it bleeds to the post below (maybe I removed too many bits and pieces in the template!

DIV tags do absolutely nothing to stop this! It may be my template. None of your other suggestions will work either. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

However, I am very happy, as I never use the Quicktag ‘img’ (I use the excellent Iimage Browser). So I just went in there and added a url to a blank image that provides me with the formatting that appears so elusive! One click happiness.

Still under construction but https://noplace.mw2mw.com/ shows what I mean.
Thanks for your help.
