    It’s an issue with the urls, that I can’t figure out. The script is simple and offers great customisation but I’m using the following script now instead which works across the site with no more headaches:

    Yes I did! The problem is not wordpress but in second and third level directories where the function to display the picture isn’t functioning.

    The script I’m using is online here in this pastebin..

    If I place an include call to the script using an absolute URL in the header it outputs the author’s credit line, but for some reason the function call to the image directory made in the page body fails to work on html pages in second and third tier directories.

    I’ve tried placing absolute URLs in the displayer script (as you’ll see in the pastebin above), but then the script fails to find the images full stop.

    I’m scratching my head over this one. The script is great with hotlinking and periodic rotation but doesn’t work in directories.

    In the <head> section is an include call to the php picture of the day script which seems to work…

    <?php include (“displayer/displayer.php”); ?>

    …then the call in the sidebar is an echo of a function of the above script

    <?php echo($display1); ?>

    The latter function isn’t showing up in the html code when viewed through my browser, which caused me to think it had been stripped out! I’ll look at it more and post back though.

    The program is a php based picture of the day script, displayed on a html page by echoing a function of the script (<?php echo($display1); ?>). On all my .html pages, I’m able to parse php code in the html using .htaccess but in my WordPress sidebar the system strips out the php tags leaving an empty div – which is why i was trying the php plugin option. What do you think?

    Yeah, I’ve seen that one, but it would mean widgetising the entire sitebar including some hefty if statements and wpg2 image blocks that I’m not sure can be done. I’m looking for an easier solution first as I think there must be a way of displaying a simple echo statement in an existing sidebar.

    Ha. I see now they’ve changed it back, but damn sure it was 2.2.2 at the bottom of my installation after install on the zip…!!

    Good stuff. Xiamen is meant to be nice, though I haven’t made it there yet myself

    Not sure what you mean by users, but if you want to send first time commenters an thankyou email you can do so with the Comment Relish Plugin

    Perhaps that’s what you mean. RF

    Sure just install this plugin and your users will be able to check a box in order to subscribe to your blog entries. Subscribe to Comments Plugin

    Then you should also install Owen’s plugin: The Comment Email Responder because “It’s purpose is to provide an easy mechanism for a blog administrator to email a response to one of the comments placed on the website. The response becomes a comment in the normal way, but also fires off an email to the commentor with the content of the response and his original comment.” – which translates as makes your life perhaps a little easier.

    Thanks MichealH, I’ll check into it more thoroughly and see what can be done. The alternatives are woefully expensive otherwise and basically mean another CMS to wordpress just as I have it doing what I want ??

    Sure no problem, will be glad to work it out. If it isn’t realistically feasible then I’ll figure something else out. Let me know on the cost if you decide to take it on!

    Nice to hear that your nephew is teaching in Xiamen. Hows he finding it?

    Yeah, the FAQ-tastic plugin is great but it doesn’t have a feature to send notification to the site owner that an question has been asked. It does however send an email to the asker when the question has been answered.

    If a mail can be sent to the asker then logically it will be easy to send to the site-owner. I’ve left messages on both Ange’s, Sarahs (ilovecode) and the knowledge construct sites and hope this can be worked out. I’ll also have a go anyway.

    Owen, I did come across your plugin while I was hunting around some time ago, but in all truth your seems to be at least closest to the truth.

    Would there by any way of developing this function into it? Perhaps I could put up a little cash? But in all realism, is it possible theoretically?
