I’ll look at that – being new to the whole PHP/Wordpress environment, I’m leary of changing too drastically …

I also noticed that when I activated the plug-in, a script from a prior plug-in (democracy poll plugin) ran, which attempted to insert records into a democracy database table. Would there be something that activation does that could cause something like that? I have to find the support post for that plugin and let that author know.

The only common thing between the two plugins is that it does something behind the scenes to add the plug-in option to the dashboard – yours is under “Options” and Democracy is under “Manage”.

I installed as-is and updated my station. Works great! Only thing I found was that even though my cache type is database, the Cache Path adds extra slashes in the File Path after I click to update the options.

It first was e:\inetpub\wwwroot\mypath\wp-content/plugins/ … and after the update (changed checkbox values to display) it returned e:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\mypath\\wp-content//plugins//… After another update? e:\\\inetpub\\\wwwroot\\\mypath\\\wp-content///plugins/// and so forth …

It doesn’t impact because I have database cache but I thought I’d let you know…

I’m on a Win2K3 server so I don’t do the chmod – but I can set CRUD on the folder… would that do?

Question about changes to the weather.php file:

Is it possible to use the following settings in the configuration instead of the hard-coded values:

* get_settings(‘siteurl’) for $icon_location
* ABSPATH for $cache_path

Also, do I need to create the weather-cache folder or does he plugin do this for me?

It’s on my test site at the top of the left navigation bar:

It shows up but I get a duplicate declarative error when I vote.

I downloaded the V1.2 a couple of days ago. I created a sub-directory under ‘plugins’ and extracted all 5 files into that location. The Plugin did not appear in the Plugins page of the dashboard. When I copied them to the plugins directory it showed up.

Did I miss something? Now I have the files in /plugins and in plugins/democracy?

I thought so but some of the attributes from the first one hold over. I’ve tried using the same attributes and properties from the initial ID with different values but for some reason that doesn’t seem to work …

Yes, the blank areas are placeholders for the header. I can also get a screen shot of the Firefox page – where do I post it?

I will try to modify the code to do the posting sequence as you indicate. I assume that the order should be:

1) Header
2) Left sidebar
3) middle content
4) Footer
5) Right sidebar

If that is correct, I’ll let you know the results.

I’m having the same issue – all looks fine in IE but Firefox/Netscape shows one ad on the right (smaller than the IE size) and the other images that show up on the right in IE are on the left side.

I added the above code but the new widths are only affected if the browser is IE. The problems I’m having is when it is NOT IE.

Can you provide some assistance?

I think I need to use the RELATIVE positioning so that the middle section stretches to the bottom; absolute causes both sides to extend below the footer. But no matter what width I try for the right sidebar, it does change width.

What I had to do was create a template that had the page-specific SQL to run against the MS-SQL database. I then utilized the ezSQL interface to accomplish the connection. Kludgy, but it worked.

Hopefully someone will treat this issue in the future.

Thanks all for your suggestions.

Was this issue resolved in the release version of 1.5.1 or 1.5.2?

skippy:

Not sure your comment resolves my issue – I want to write a page (I assume whatever is written gets saved to my MySQL database) and when I click on the link for that page (https://www.hostname.com/?page_id=22) the page still presents itself in the theme that I have selected but the content area reads a SQL2K database and displays data from that database.

I saw EZ-SQL and have tried to put PHP code in the page data but the PHP code is displayed not executed.

OK, I’ll have to code the template – should be fun for a non-PHP person.

If I have username/password/server values, can I connect to a non-MySQL database as well?

Possible enhancement for WP Blacklist – I am getting about 15% of comments being flagged to moderate by Blacklist, but the comments seem fine. To test I even went so far as to delete the blacklist data from the database and only import the regex commands. Same thing.

Is it possible to write a log for each comment that is flagged to indicate what rule/word caused the flagging?
