Nope, that wasn’t it after all ??

Anyone have any hints on how to achieve ‘sticky’ colors on nav-tabs?

cheers!

Hey, is what I’m talking about known as “Dynamic Menu Highlighting”? If so, thanks to Lorelle on another post, I think I found a tutorial in the Codex…yay!

Cheers!

Thought I’d post an update for future reference:

In tracking down another css issue I discovered that the’ solution’ of this thread was unnecessary if the following code (present in header.php) is properly understood:

/* determines visual area of header css*/
#header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 0px; padding: 0px; height: 119px; width: 608px; }

/* determines event or 'hot' area of header*/
#headerimg { margin: 0px 0px 0; height: 119px; width: 608px; }

cheers!

k, I’ll give it a look-see…thanx!

But of COURSE! I knew there was a simple way to do this. I guess I’ve got my head too filled with CSS and content/structure separation issues.

Thanks very much Cron!

Can anyone tell me what zero07’s reference to the ‘menu tag’ means for the middle block of code? (I also suspect his code refers to WP1.2…but no matter)

cheers!

Any suggestions on how to make a part of, rather than the whole, header a hot-link? Preferably the jpeg itself rather than the whole div, as is the case with my site at the moment. The Reason: I can’t place other clickable items into the header if the whole header is hot. If the solution is to re-code without using divs, then so be it. Just hoping someone with more knowledge about this can confirm or deny…

cheers!

You are right, Ryan. But that’s not the way it worked before the upgrade. (Same thing for a Hide/Cut plug I use). Whereas before I could (as admin) view the site as non-admin would, it seems I can only do that now by logging in as a user *without* admin privileges.

Perhaps there’s a greater logic to having it work like that (or a consequence of some of the coding tweaks that went into the upgrade).

But I’ll have to get used to this (albeit slight) inconvenience.

Cheers!

This worked as advertised for me in v1.5. I’ve just upgraded to 1.5.1 and all my ‘private’ posts are now visible…whether or not I go back to Manage>Edit them!!

Help! Has anyone else found this to be the case, and if so, was there a fix?

Cheers!

This is all great, and helped me hot-link personalheader.jpg…except for one thing: it doesn’t just link the graphic, its the whole header *section*, background and all that’s linked. This creates a new problem for me, unless I can determine the boundaries of the linked area and make it smaller than the total width/height of the header area. Is the only way to link just the graphic, to simply re-do the image-insertion and associated css from scratch? I can prolly do it, after reading up on horizontal-positioning with div instead of my old standby: tables…(I know, Lorelle: NO TABLES! ;))

But I thought I’d ask, in case there’s another way to tweak the existing template code before I launch into ripping out whole sections.

cheers!

I don’t BELIEVE IT! I went back to my client and, for the hell of it, re-composed the connection string, and this time…QUIT the app. Relaunched the app, clicked on the new connector and…PRESTO! Connection successful!

“NASA, we have lift-off!”

Just goes to show ya, you can’t take ANYTHING for granted when some of these admin UIs seem to be acting up…

cheers!

K, #1) WP-login from secondary cpu’s has been resolved. I just changed my password from the admin panel, and I was then able to admin WP from my laptop. Changed the password back to the original, and was good to go. Musta ‘kick-started’ it somehow.

#2) my ISP responded, DB-access wasn’t an issue. They recommended that I add my localhost IP to the Access Hosts panel of MySQL. Duh. Only, I had already done that (and forgotten to tell them about it). Based on past experience, I suspect a client-server encryption issue. But there’s not much I can do about without direct access to the db-server. So maybe I’ll try different MySQL admin-clients that have a switch for password encryption or something…

cheers!

Hey, thanks Seikilos! That was fast! I’ll try this hack when I get a minute…

cheers!

Good question…something I’ve been thinking about myself. As well as removing posts from the main blog listing (as Seikilos mentions), I could use such a capability for admin purposes. For instance, I’ve been thinking about creating a “private” category. If I ‘Manage Posts’, I can select by category, but what about searching for those “Private” or “Draft” attributions to posts when you’ve got hundreds of posts to go through? An ‘excluded’ category (including the posts themselves, when you want to remove *published* posts from the main blog list, but not the category itself) would be nifty indeed! (Of course, as I write this, someone’s prolly writing the plugin!)

cheers!

Nope, I haven’t. But will do now…

thanx.
