So, since we are returning the same 3 or 4 pages of content (at the moment) even though there are different terms, it only highlights the first couple of unique searches and then since all the rest of the terms being searched are on pages that have already been returned there are no highlights… correct?

Any feedback on this? I found the same thing that the Hilite plugin activated from the admin interface doesn’t hilite.

Speaking of tab index I changed the first variable to ‘$t = 100;’ as otherwise I found tabbing through the site jumped all over the place. Just a helpful FYI.

Did you add the appropriate javascript in the head of your document?

I installed it at https://tier1services.com/wp Is it supposed to pick up words within the posts? Mine only seems to pick up the Title??

Ringmaster,
If it matters to you, you might want to double-check your XHTML compliance and see what can be done to get closer to it. Nice photos BTW! ??

Great collection of plugins Mark. Will there be a ‘sticky post’ update for 1.2? If there will be, will it be able to assign sticky posts to separate categories? Thanks for all you contribute to WP the best ‘Blogging’ software out there in my opinion and one of the easiest ‘little CMS’ alternatives available.

O.K Here’s what I Did;
if (empty($orderby)) {
$orderby=’date ‘.$order;
Which needs to be something more like the following;
if (empty($orderby)) {
$orderby=’date ‘.$order;
if (!empty($whichcat))
$where .= ‘ OR post_status = “sticky”‘;
else
$where .= ‘ OR (post_status = “sticky” AND $whichcat==7)’;
And of course, the sticky hack already requires that the line:
$where .= ‘ AND (post_status = “publish”‘;
is changed to something like:
$where .= ‘ AND (post_status = “publish”‘ OR post_status = “sticky”;
but you really want it in your case to be:
$where .= ‘ AND (post_status = “publish”‘;
if (!empty($whichcat))
$where .= ‘ OR post_status = “sticky”‘;
else
$where .= ‘ OR (post_status = “sticky” AND $whichcat==7)’;
This is the error I get:
SQL/DB Error:
[You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘==7) AND post_date <= ‘2004-04-25 11:26:19’ AND (post_status = ]
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 OR (post_status = “sticky” AND $whichcat==7) AND post_date <= ‘2004-04-25 11:26:19’ AND (post_status = “publish” OR post_status = “sticky”) ORDER BY post_status DESC, post_date DESC LIMIT 2

David,
I implemented the changes for 1.0 & 1.01+ from LaughingLizard’s Sticky post hack at
https://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/stickyinstructions.txt
My wp-blog-header is at https://organicgardensite.com/wp-blog-header.phps I figured it would be safer if you saw where I made the changes to get the sticky post hack working before I go about mucking it up in case your proposed approach might need to be implemented/integrated in some of the same various corresponding places LauhingLizard’s changes were implemented. I sure wouldn’t know. “Find and tell” works for me, LaughingLizard’s clear step-by-step was easy to follow.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this idea. I appreciate it.
Kevin

Thank you very much. I have never paid much attention to the “Blog” technology until I bumped into WP about the middle of March this year. I don’t even remember how or why, I think I must have seen a site that was using it that attracted my attention so I clicked on the link to see what WP was. I’ve been going at it ever since.
Kevin

Thanks. Now How Do You Know You’ve Been Pinged? Access Logs?
Kevin

And just to sum up and clarify, I sent David an email clarifying that my wife wants a “sticky” post at the top of each category, an intro explanation of what is in each category. But she also need s an “Intro” sticky on the front page which in my case is “About This Site” ( cat=7 ) so that cat sticky needs to be sticky in 2 places. So that is what he was specifically addressing.
Maybe my type of questions represent a segment of potential WP users that are not Uber Geek, nor programmers, but are nonetheless interested in WP as an easy to implement, easy to adapt CMS solution. The rule of thumb being K.I.S.S “Keep It Simple Solution”. Like the anecdote about (some) women and cars, they could give a hoot about automobile technical specs, they just want to know where to put the gas and the key.
I’m trying to find the means to make her a site that works within the default behavior of WP as much as possible. She has no clue about ‘blogging’ and probably never will, and I have no php skills. Nonetheless, I see WP as an easy CMS and so am trying to wrap my head around it from her “static-pages-type-site” perception to make it easy for her to continually add content and not feel like she has a heavy learning curve (which would result in her not doing it if she had to learn about static page integration, my-hacks file, etc. LOL)
So please be patient with folks like myself, and thank you David for taking the time to be specific, that is the type of explanation I (and many others I’m sure) am seeking. Now where do I put that? In the wp-blog-header? (I have already implemented the original “sticky post hack” successfully.) Thanks.
Kevin

Put your menu div in front of (before) your content div.
Kevin

Did anyone get this sorted out? NOW my wife wants the same thing at https://organicgardensite.com (WP1.02 default rewrite rules)
She wants to be able to create a “preface post” for each category that would be sticky in the category (A little blurb about the category)
ALSO she doesn’t want those posts on the front page.
So I am thinking I need to make it so only one post goes on the front page, after the one sticky that is the general description of the site in general.
I have her create her category stickies and after she has done them all we post an article (then no category header “sticky” posts on the front page since only showing one latest post on the front page.)
Now every time she posts a new article, no matter what category it will be on the front page under the front page sticky AND be the first article on that category page after the sticky at the top of the category (preface for the category)
Make sense? Possible? Not Possible? Feedback and ideas urgently needed to maintain marital bliss! LOL! Thanks.
Kevin
