Well, yeah. But they are not really all that dynamic. The content is essentially static.
It’s basically just a subclass of a post – of sorts.
It would still be handy to be able to use php in the post. Sounds like a plugin might be created to do just that.

Heh, yeah.
Still hoping that eventually we can use some php in those static pages and make them vastly more powerful.

Ok. what you need to do for your includes is include the full path to header.php and footer.php. Start your uri with “/path to wp-includes/wp-includes/header.php”
Also, be sure your including:
<?php require(‘wp-blog-header.php’); ?> (with correct paths)
That is if your uitleg.php page has calls to bring up the categories, archives and other WordPress related functions. Without this, you can not make any calls to WordPress functions.
Hope that helps.

Check out the Wiki, there are several similar to what your talking about.
Otherwise, you can use anything available on the web. Give google a shot. You can use any of the available free services in conjunction with WordPress, just like any other web page.

No, you didn’t fall off the beer truck. You just emptied a few too many kegs on the way to the party.
The static pages work by creating something like:
https://localhost/wordpress-1-3/site/stats
This redirects to the static page you created. All your static pages are under wordpress/site/page_name
In order to do fancy little URIs like this you need to edit your .htaccess file so it looks at the URI and generates the correct query string. In this case…
https://localhost/wordpress-1-3/index.php?pagename=”stats&#8221;
You create and manage these static pages under wp-admin – manage – pages.
I would be most incorrect in stating that you need to update your permalink structure every time. Doh. If you are working with a fresh install of 1.3 your in better shape. If you have an existing .htaccess file, I’d consider clearing it out and using the auto generated stuff from WordPress. At least to get you going. If your static pages are not working then you have a problem with your .htaccess file (be sure you run upgrade.php as well).
Are things clearer yet? I hope so, were both learning at once. ??

1) You need to go into your permalinks options and update your permalink file. You do this after creating the static page. Make sure your .htaccess file is chmod 644
2) I’m wondering about that too…
Also…
It would be good if you could call php functions from the static pages. Then many of the statistics plugins or other site info pages can make calls into WordPress for their content.
As it stands the characters are all being encoded as html special chars which results in no function calls. It would be great if we could have dynamic content on the pages.

Look in wp-layout.css, this is controlling the “look” to your site.
Of course there is tons of info in the wiki and throughout this forum.

Does this mean your the host of the next Style competition? ??

change DB_HOST in your wp-config.php file to directoto the freesql servers.
Nothing too fancy to it. ??

You might want to try updating your install of 1.0.2 to 1.2 before updating to 1.3

I believe if your doing double
tags to separate the paragraph, the wordpress auto-p filter will do that for you automatically. Meaning, you don’t have to do anything. ??
Do a view source on the web page to double check.

Nope your not. I miss it too.

Root,
I understand that. The thing is that their design is not complete. So you can’t really tell what the current model is, what it does or will do. Let alone really try it out yet since all of the code simply is not written yet.
“Too late” is simply once it is released. Before then it will hit release candidate, I think at that point it is fair game to give the design a good ringer. At that point in time it is also fair to expect the developers to articulate deeper on the points and capabilities of the design. This could even happen before the first release candidate.
Now if you want to articulate your own model, that is fair too. It could be very helpful. You don’t really need to see their full model before doing so. It’s more than cool to spell out how you think a theme system could be created. It’s not a waste of your effort to articulate something that already exists. It means other people reading your design will understand it better. If it coincides with what exists or what is in the works, then that gives Matt and Ryan a pat on the back.
At the moment though, everyone is tearing into the “design” which is neither fully developed or articulated publicly.
I can see wanting to try to save some time by hashing out more of the design with other people – such as ourselves, before coding. The problem however becomes that when you put too many minds into something then everything slows down. More time is spent defending and articulating bits and pieces of the design model than is necessary. Especially when in many cases either idea will work equally well.
Now, I think I’m going to head back to my tent, type up some WordPress entries, and if I still have a smidgen of power – install the latest nightly. ??

You really need to bind the right column next to your content.
I have content and then 4 or 5 inches of nothing then the right column.
(note I’m on a PowerBook and experiencing this)
Other than that, not bad. Might be good to get a little more contrast going on. Everything seems to blend in and it makes it a little harder to focus on one particular bit of the page.

Separate installs, change the prefix in wp-config.php for the 2nd install.
The forums and wiki are filled with loads of info on how to do this if you need more detail.
