Alternatively, if you feel like descending in the dark realms of mysql, you could try something like the following mysql query:

select ID from wp_posts where post_content like '%your search string%';

It’s a bit clunky, but it might work. If it does, it will give you the post IDs. If you’d rather have the post titles, you could do:

select post_title from wp_posts where post_content like '%your search string%';

You could try google! A search string like:

site:your.site.net “the text string you’re searching for”

might do it.

It makes sense – but you haven’t actually asked a question! Perhaps you’re just sharing that with us?

shiris, it looks ok to me in Firefox 3.5

I haven’t started thinking about that stuff yet, but if you send me your email address via the contact form at https://NovemberEchoRomeoDelta.com, i’ll let you know.

It would help if you said what the problem was! What happens when you run it? Have you looked at the httpd error log to see what PHP errors are being reported?

I’m working on a plugin that will do just that.

I’m afraid i can’t say when it will be ready for public consumption – as it will depend on how much time i can find to work on it – but a preliminary version shouldn’t be very long. It’s fairly simple, but i’m currently getting my head around some of the design considerations.

It will be a front end for NextGen Gallery. It will create a page per gallery and a subpage for each image in the gallery. The album, gallery, and image pages will be template based, so you’ll be able to add things to them if you want.

Are you doing this within a plugin?

The way to set up a filter hook handler is to write a function to be the handler, which should accept the relevant arguments for that filter.

Then you use the add_filter() function to register that handler on the filter hook. Like this:

function filter_post( $data , $postarr )
{
  // Do stuff...
  return ( $data )
}

add_filter ( 'wp_insert_post_data' , 'filter_post' , 99 );

wp_insert_post_data is the filter hook you need to use.

You’ll have to have a look at wp-includes/post.php for information on the parameters, as they’re a bit to complex to include here and the information’s not in the codex (i may add it though). You can probably ignore $postarr though, and just deal with $data.

$data = array( 'post_author', 'post_date', 'post_date_gmt',
'post_content', 'post_content_filtered', 'post_title', 'post_excerpt',
'post_status', 'post_type', 'comment_status', 'ping_status',
'post_password', 'post_name', 'to_ping', 'pinged', 'post_modified',
'post_modified_gmt', 'post_parent', 'menu_order', 'guid' )

In your the_content filter handler, are you returning the calling parameter with your extra content appended to it? It sounds like you’re just returning your extra content, rather than appending it to the content the handler’s called with.

Even if it works with the comments, it seems logically wrong to use that to effectively add something to the_content. And if it’s logically wrong, there’s a chance that it will cause you problems in the future.

You need a filter, not an action hook. If you filter on the_content, you should be able to append your data to it.

The other alternative is a shortcode. Add that into your template and have the shortcode handler return the data you want inserted in place of the shortcode.

A filter is probably the best bet though.

The data you’re talking about is all in the ($wpdb->prefix)ngg_pictures table. You don’t need an API to use it, just a few sql statements.

Depending on exactly what you want to do, your best bet is probably to write a plugin that returns that data to the theme – maybe using a shortcode.

It sounds like you’re approaching this from the wrong direction. You’re talking about “hard coding” things in a “sub directory” – which doesn’t really make much sense in relation to WordPress.

There should be no problem with php includes, so long as class and function names in the files you include don’t clash with WordPress’s includes.

If you want to use WordPress’s comment system, then you’re going to have to do it within the WordPress structure.

I don’t understand what you mean by it becoming too much for WP to organize without the use of directories. WordPress is a content management system – directories don’t really come into it.

It sounds like you need to write a plugin that can create the pages dynamically. That’s quite straightforward really.

If you’re going to use WordPress in this site, i’d recommend using it properly and fully, otherwise you’re likely to end up with a nasty mess that will be very hard to maintain and upgrade.

I think so. It certainly deactivates it before it’s upgraded, so it would seem likely that it’s activated again afterwards.

I’ve had a bit of a read through the code ( wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php ), but it’s a bit convoluted and not very well commented, and i haven’t got time to read it thoroughly at the moment. I need to find this out myself though, so i’ll have another go at it when i’ve got a bit more time.
