In reply to: Any Theme Layout Gurus Out There?looks ok. mag shows an increased size at corner which is perspectively accurate. if you want to t-shoot spacial problems on a webpage, just place “borders=1” in the table tag! (you may have to jump about the tables depending on your nesting).

In reply to: (yet another) database errorusually the database is elsewhere and deleting your site may NOT remove the tables. check with godaddy.

In reply to: Database Destroyed in Upgrade from 2.3 to 2.5.1(pardon me?) it sounds to me like he is not sure if the database he was browsing is the upgraded version. i think he wants a tell on a fieldname or something that lets him know what happened so far. i am guessing that in the upgrade, you run a database upgrade script separately from the new files install? might a ‘upgrade database’ script TEST THE DATABASE?

In reply to: (yet another) database errorall your posts are in the mysql database. never delete an already used and working database. backups of a site are NOT the same as backups for a database!
I already cleared those tables….
I think I accidentally deleted my entire site…
huh?- never work on a site when you at all tired, distractable or lack sufficient food or sleep
- if you are running a commercial or important site, alwats backup the database- never host where you cannot back it up
godaddy may have database backups. ask.
define('DB_NAME', '{WHATEVER}');
// The NAME of the database
define('DB_USER', 'yourloginname');
// Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
// …and password
define('DB_HOST', 'p50mysql1.secureserver.net');
// THIS SHOULD WORK! why? godad may not have the db on the same server!as you have an existing database, you could check your code by creating another database and setting it up (/admin) then, if that works, change your wp-config to your previous database.

In reply to: no option for page templatealso
<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Header
*/
?>so you can use S P A C E S for a ‘name’?
i would think not.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Any Theme Layout Gurus Out There?i dont suppose that ‘microsoft’ can help with this. you might give them a call and see if you get even a half ounce of concern or co-operation from them. i have noticed in the past that they disregard world standards in an arrogant sort of way. perhaps you could instead put a line near the top of your site that says “WORKS BETTER WITH FIREFOX” and link to the firefox download page! much easier than anything else eh.

In reply to: After upgrading to 2.5.1 blank page after logonnew to this. ver 2.5. also experienced ‘blanking page-itis’ on change code. discovered to was a ‘0-byte’ write (to the file). i no longer change code from the wp admin but directly from another routine i have. my guess was it was a permission problem. i dont quite yet have a handle on the login-system permissions relationship.

In reply to: (yet another) database error-
you could not have replaced that file.
- always FIRST copy the original file as {name.ext}.ori (or similar}
- goto the wordpress start page /admin so that the database can be set up correctly IF you havent already done so
- delete the file wp-config file
- attempt to open your site again and hope you get an error message that may indicate this file is missing
- from a new copy of wp-config, enter the correct un,pw,database name, location. BE CAREFUL to keep your punctuation correct
- save the file
- now see if site comes up (use correct pathing according to how you installed it)
that should do it. if it is still messed up, you may have a database issue. you can always re-install and remove the database and start over.
i am not a coder with wp. if my ‘advice’ is not correct, feel free to correct me.

In reply to: Create Categories Pagei wasnt exactly asking. what i am saying is i am going to concept and design this so that it will work the way i want it to. think “CORRAL”. owner creates the corral, defines the limits, provides each corral(with the limitations) to each corral boss.
then…
every corral boss can gather interested parties, subscribers and compete with other corrals! the domain owner would then be able to structure the face and linking on the main domain/. subject to the arrival links created by the corral bosses. only thing, none of the bosses can place code on their own.
the nice thing about such a design is that it allows for non-authors to become more involved without having to be crack site designers and coders.

In reply to: Create Categories Pageaha! design time! page manages categories. pages could be kind of a corrale for a group of posters of a variety of roles. confined to the page. i would have the page created by the owner and written to the drive as a file (shtml,php) with a plugin that ‘defines the page’. no brainer.

In reply to: How to restrict file downloads to specific users?yet another vote. HOWEVER! under most circumstances, with regard to commercial application whereby something is paid for, the transaction processor will refer the purchaser to a landing page. THAT CAN BE ANYWHERE. so actually building this feature into WP… that kind of thing is more for the shopping cart which does have the communication with the TP.
