Finally sussed the rights problem – it’s the md5 and the cookie so I need to change some LDAP code.

For the record though – I wouldn’t recommend using the in-place editing of plugins. If there’s an error, you lose *all* your changes after the location where the error occurred!

Yes, I’m the author. It seems to load ok though. I think it’s because wp_login has already been defined by the time I activate the LDAP plugin.

Even though it’s loaded, when I login as my normal ldap user I have no rights to post anymore.

I’ve changed it to use:
$login = get_userdatabylogin($username);

instead of the old db lookup and my rights in the database (10) are fine.

I’ve also updated the LDAP version of wp_setcookie but I have no rights anymore!

Would you have any ideas?

thanks

Hey, that’s nice, thanks.

Is there any way to hide a plugin in the plugin menu if a user is less than a certain level?

Yes, a new function but where to store it? It would be nice to keep all overriding functions in a separate file, say /extensions/pluggable-functions.php and then, at the top of wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).’/../extensions/pluggable-functions.php’);

I’ve seen the same defacement on phpbb – how can I trace this as it’s a hole in my wordpress!

Does it have anything to do with this?

oh, and there as a post saying “hacked by !nf3rN.4lL” and it was by “admin”.

My blog was just compromised – the title was changed to !nf3rN.4lL as was the description. Searching on google produces blogs and forums that are !nf3rN.4lL hacked.

cheers folks! will join the mailing list

Wow! that looks superb Joe. Do you have any tips on how to create templates like that? Really nice, well done!

I stuck <hr width=”100%”/> at the end of each excerpt but then again I modified the template to only display the excerpt of a story rather than the full story. You get the full story when you click on the title.
To add bullets to the title of each story, modify index.php:
<h3 class=”storytitle” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”>

• <?php the_title(); ?>

Thanks. Just looked at the template for index.php and changed it to get what I want:
Where it displays the story content, put in an if check. On the front page the query string variable p isn’t defined. So you can use this to stop it displaying the content for each story.
When you click on the link of the story title, p is defined.
I’ve modified index.php to only display the title and excerpt:
change:
<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
to:
<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php if ($_GET[p] != “”) the_content(); else the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
if the excerpt is empty, it displays the content for some reason. Probably something to do with the_excerpt()
