can anyone help with this?? i am REALLY in need of some answers.

thanks. turns out that none of those extra symbols were on my local files, so a quick upload took care of it.

oh for cryin out loud. thanks doc4. hard to believe i didnt see that or even think to search for it.

all is well now!

no luck, doc4.

i actually did not have margin, padding, or width attributes defined. but i tried to plug in both of the code snippets you showed and nothing changed.

are you kidding? you should be laughing at ME! this looks like basic PHP, and i know absolute squat about it. ??

anywho, that was almost the trick. that exact format didnt quite do it, but this did…

<?php include('https://mywebsite.com/myfile.php'); ?>

it was THAT SIMPLE! thanks a ton for your help Clay. much appreciated!!

thanks Clay…

that is VERY close to what i am looking for. the only difference would be that i would like to be able to call on a file outside my WP root directory. this is a file that is very frequently updated, so it would be much more convenient to only have to update and upload a single file.

is there any way to edit that script? i attempted to list the full URL of the desired file, but it didnt work.

the search function works fine. :/

i need to know how to literally pull up remote PHP files from another directory within my site. just pulling up links isnt going to do it. the game info (left side) is built within a PHP file, but is mostly basic HTML controlled by CSS. the news stories (right side) is rendered by a CaRP RSS newsreader script within a another separate PHP file. the links are created on my database and the HTML rendered is then controlled again by CSS.

ideas?

VERY disappointing that such a basic and aesthetically necessary mod is receiving no support attention.

not cool….. ??

nevermind. im an idiot. i already answered my stupid question. ??

anybody?????

??

i had the same problem, but what i did was replace the code that renders the Categories section in my custom theme with the code that is found in the default template. then, at least the categories and subcategories showed up properly in relation to one another, but i still am not having any luck getting the main parent categories reordered.

does anyone have an idea why this is happening???

by the way, you can see what im talking about here…

well…i did try to install WP-United. the installation went smoothly…at least according to the setup wizard that was made available via my phpBB ACP.

the trouble i had was that i was getting database errors as soon as i tried to access my blog through the new portal set up through the phpBB Mod…/forum_root/blog.php.

as i tried to find an existing solution in the WP-United forum and the phpBB Support Forums, i found that the developer has not even logged into either site since December of 2007, seemingly abandoning the project and offering no further support. so considering that there would be no more updates or further support, i decided to uninstall the Mod and begin searching anew.

its a shame really. it had gotten alot of raving reviews from the phpBB users who had installed it. it did seem to be far more complicated than what i needed, but it is the only thing that i have found that offers ANY kind of phpBB/WP userlist sharing.

well…after a bit more searching i managed to find this…

…has anyone had success with this? i have alot of questions, specifically pertaining to modifying an existing blog and forum.

thanks for the reply Joni, and sorry for my own delay in following up.

the sidebar is simply built with CSS elements for positioning and alignment, HTML, and CaRp scripts for parsing RSS feeds to HTML. there is really nothing fancy about it.

but it would seem that all i really need to know is how i can add a single sidebar file containing all that info, and then how i can make it appear on every WordPress page.

i could do that, but what im looking for is a basic FAQ that just explains how to use the Editor’s CP, enter posts, insert images, categorize posts…that type of thing. just the bare basics. i dont need a customized FAQ specifically for my editors and what i want them to do with the blogs. i have a separate forum on my site for my bloggers to discuss that type of thing.

is there not a basic FAQ just meant for teaching an editor how to use the CP tools? id be surprised to hear that there isnt.
