If you’re on Windows, you can use WinMerge: https://winmerge.sourceforge.net/Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Derailed by Trac (plugin repository)I agree that for users who want to get plugins the site needs quite some streamlining. https://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PluginDirectory is a beginning. Automatic creation of tarballs and zip files would be cool as well (just for tags should do).

In reply to: New Theme: ‘hampsha’https://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2003/09/09/copywrong/ as referred to earlier.
Since nearly the beginning, there have been people grabbing entire templates, graphics and all, and using them as the basis of their site; these I have politely requested the site owners to take down, and compliance has been prompt and agreeable.
The tricky part is when people want to use an individual .css file as a basis for their design, changing only images, perhaps with a new colour or font scheme. Obviously releasing the .css file under the Attribution-ShareAlike license from Creative Commons means that ita€?s open to interpretation; Ia€?ve tried to address this in the FAQ by adding a further layer of permissions on top of the CC license.
The idea is that you can feel free to steal bits and pieces, learn from, and generally plunder the CSS as long as you dona€?t approach it as a template. The line is fuzzy and vague, and ita€?s where most confusion springs from.

Oh my! What have you done to the code? You seem to be writing HTML, but you claim it’s XHTML. And tables? And all that JavaScript?
Decide what you want to code to, and use the appropriate doctype. Then get rid of the tables and study some more CSS. Then come back.

In reply to: New Theme: ‘hampsha’No, as long as there is no permission, it should not be released. You need to respect the artist’s rights. If you can’t get in touch with the original artist, at least get in touch with the CSS Zen Garden owner, Dave Shea: https://www.mezzoblue.com/contact/

In reply to: Possible to build a site like that with WP?I started out with MT, but have switched to WP, because:
1. it’s free (as in speech), no limitations as in the MT license
2. it’s fast (MT needs to rebuild pages each time you add/change something, which takes longer when your site grows)
3. it’s PHP, which is easier to hack (at least for me) than PerlI use WP for various types of sites (for myself and for clients), it gets better and more flexible all the time. For anyone who knows CSS and a bit of PHP it’s easy enough to customize to your heart’s desire. 3-column layouts are no problem.

In reply to: CSS – remove linked image underlineYou can group these together like
.image, .image:hover {

In reply to: Theme LicensesI also agree that a policy needs to be formulated. I understand that a wp-themes site will be set up, complementing dev.wp-plugins.org. I guess that the same license requirement will exist: that themes published there will have to be GPL-licensed, or have a GPL-compatible license.
There will also need to be some control, because it could easily turn into a mess when people use copyrighted designs or artwork in a theme. (As already is the case with certain themes announced on these forums…)

In reply to: What version of CSS?make that 2.1
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: CSS – remove linked image underlineProbably the most straight-forward way is to give links that contain images a class, like:
<a href="xxx" class="image"><img src="x" alt="" /></a>
and put in your stylesheet:
.image {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: none;

In reply to: Moving PixelsI think this has to do with what you set your default font-size to. Gecko’s 1-px rounding error could be involved as well.
I noticed that resizing throws the menu completely out of alignment. You should consider another method.

In reply to: A Defense Against Comment SpamOf course this does nothing to stop the actual spamming. It will just not increase the pagerank of the spammer. Maybe this will turn off some of them. We’ll see. I don’t hold my breath.
