    The characters that do not come up are the ones like ???¥?¤?¥. The language is swedish, and since I am not swedish I am not sure of the proper encoding (i love unicode!). I tried changing the encoding in the fonts menu, but it said i needed to upload a font file. How can I test if iconv() is installed?

    For the images, there is an absolute path, eg “/wp-content/image.jpg”.

    I am running v0.4. I feel very close and would like to thank you for your help and hard work. This is a great plugin!

    An example pdf can be seen at https://minde.org/wp2pdf/wp2pdf.php

    Hi,
    Great to see this updated.
    Unfortunately, I cannot get images to display in the PDF, even when “show images” is set in the config.

    Also, any tips on how I can get swedish to display correctly?

    thanks
    peter

    hey.
    did anyone check out https://www.macrumors.com/ ? That is what I had in mind when i made this post.
    It is blog style. New items, where you can comment on it. Like wordpress.
    But, you click the comment button, and you get taken to a forum.
    This is a high traffic site, with 73,570 threads, 870,666 posts, and 35,947 73,570 members. This amount of people/posts is hard to put into blog comments. People come for the news and info, but they really stay for the discussions and debate. There are often several pages of posts, with uploaded images, user avatars, a great search engine, and a way for like minded people to discuss other topics.
    On a blog, people comment on specific posts, but without going off topic it is hard for people to discuss an unrelated issue. Forums, allow a community of like minded individuals to discuss various topics.
    Also, for anyone that makes sites, your own content can only come so quick, but the site viewers are happy to create free content all day and spend their waking life posting comments and actually contributing content. Whenever you come to the site, something is new, with many new comments to read. It is a great way to keep people coming back to your site, and allowing them to browse forums/content.
    Sure, you could have a blog, AND a forum on your site, but then there is 2 separate registrations, and 2 separate places to talk, and on the blog comments, no way to upload images, etc.
    On some sites, the focus is on the posts and content, but on other sites, my favourite sites, the comments are more interesting and insightful than the original post. Brilliant people come together and discuss something in a way that really illuminates the topic.

    i know wordpress is blog software, and not forum software, but i was asking about *integration*.
    for example, i have seen many posts about integrating wordpress with photo gallery’s.
    also, other open source apps like mambo integrate with forums, and other apps like gallery, that i thought wordpress might too.
    instead of building forums into wordpress, i just think it would be cool if comments could be integrated into an existing forum app out there.
