I'm trying to color my menu differently if I'm currently on the page, but it seems to just ignore the CSS no matter what I do, even if I use !important. Here's the relevant code edited to not break tables. code:code:

Dammit, I need some confirmation here. How difficult is it to build a basic layout and have lots of places for ads (think Lamebook or People of Walmart or any blog like that sits upon Wordpress). I've spent months with a plan and not doing it because I keep thinking it's going to be a huge pain in the rear end. Someone just humor me and tell me how difficult it is so I can get my rear end in gear and start building this site.

If you know your way around HTML/CSS it shouldn't be difficult at all. There are also lots of themes with ad spaces built in.

And many plugins specialized for ads.

I've scanned the thread and didn't see anything so far. Client wants a page where users must log in to access/download files. "Free Downloads – Need to Register before accessing downloads. Need to log in when accessing this section each time the site is visited but should not prompt multiple log-ins when viewing the site and returning to this section." Can anyone recommend such a plugin? (WP 3.0)

Some quotes from the Thesis guy: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1516950 quote:"This can't be understated or just glossed over as if it's not true. My position at the market is pretty much at the top. I'm the most visible person in this space so everyone's gunning for me. Everyone wants a piece."

Hah, yeah, that's all been pretty funny. I did finally figure out how to modify that Thesis theme by the way. It was stunning, how incredibly complicated it was to figure out how to make a CUSTOM TEMPLATE. It took 30 minutes of searching their forum to figure it out. So that guy can go die in a fire as far as I'm concerned.

tonelok posted:It may seem like another internet slapfight but it's the Thesis guy which makes it great I agree, as I'm not real fond of Thesis' model. I heard about all this thanks to our WordPress Austin group. Now local boy Aaron Brazell has an interesting take on this in terms of the legal ramifications: http://technosailor.aaronbrazell.com/2010/07/14/impending-legal-precedent-for-gpl-licensing/ As I mentioned elsewhere, I really hope that if it does come down to a lawsuit, the findings support and encourage GPL and open-source rather than put new roadblocks in the way. But given the direction the prevailing winds are blowing when it comes to expanding, and entrenching, copyright and other IP laws, I'm not sure if I should be encouraged by the fact that this may hit the courts.

I've pretty much got my site to where I want it to be, except for one small issue with the menus and Next Gen Gallery. It appears that if my drop down menu has more than 2 items, on a next gen gallery page, the menu will drop behind the images. I've scanned the CSS somewhat, but can't really work out what I need to change. An example of the issue is on this page http://www.less-than-3.com/photos/connor/before-birth/ Direction would be useful here, even if it's to work out whether I should bo looking at the theme CSS or the gallery CSS or something else completely.

The way I'd fix this is by adding these lines to .menu (line 51) in style.css position:relative; z-index: 1; the position line is so that z-index will work, and z-index just tells the browser how to layer things. There may be a better way to do this but this is how I would fix it.

Going by his twitter page (http://twitter.com/photomatt), it looks like Mullenweg and WordPress are going to sue the Thesis people. If you read through Planet WordPress, there's info about comparing the Thesis code with WordPress code and seeing what all they pulled in.

It is really a shame but I think he has to be sued. He has no respect for the underlying system on which he decided to build his framework and seems to have no understanding of software licensing at all. He basically turned his customers into walking salespeople as they were given financial incentive to sell Thesis through affiliate links, which is different from most people who like WordPress as they are focused on getting folks to use WordPress because they believe it is a good system - not because they stand to make money from converting people. Also, I can't believe he considers himself to be important because of 37k downloads. I've met the guys who are in charge of the #1 and #2 most downloaded plugins. They are humble as gently caress and ultimately surprised at the amount of downloads they have. They don't even like to mention their numbers nor what they have accomplished. 37k is nothing compared to 2 million+ downloads. But yeah, there is that whole more money = better than. But if he does get slapped with a lawsuit I think it could be incredibly painful for the entire WordPress community. But seriously, how does someone create a product based on WordPress without agreeing with the license behind it?

I'm still not sure I've completely wrapped my head around the licence and how it works anyways. If you pay for a a woo theme or studio press or some other premium theme, you are able to do whatever you want with it? Even if that involves selling it/giving it away? So all these torrents containing 100+wordpress themes or premium plugins and the like are actually...legal?

Alright. Wit's end ahoy. WP 3.0 with this theme: http://themeforest.net/item/intelligible-business-20in1-wp-theme/full_screen_preview/102726 I tried creating a custom menu for a side bar in Appearance/Menus It spits out an error: Warning: array_intersect() [function.array-intersect]: Argument #2 is not an array in \\...\wp-admin\nav-menus.php on line 381 Somehow, this failure caused my dropdown child menus off of my main top menu to disappear. When I try to delete it through Appearance/Menus it says: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \\...wp-admin\nav-menus.php on line 260 What I think I need to do is delete the custom menus I've tried to create. Where can I locate these in FTP and delete them directly via mysql, thereby presumably restoring my dropdown menus on /index.php? edit: Fixed link Clockwork Sputnik fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jul 20, 2010 |

OK, I seem to have hit a brick wall (metaphorically) I need to alter (in my theme) how images in posts and pages are displayed.Specifically, to add to the HTML that is rendered for the images; wrapping DIVs to be precise. Foolishly I thought "hey, wordpress is pretty well written; there'll be a filter for that, somewhere..." Dilligent searching turns up two filters: get_image_tag_class and get_image_tag Now; get_image_tag will let me wrap the IMG tag in a div.. HOWEVER - its called once, at the point the image is inserted into the post/page, not on page display. This means that my additional div will be permanently added to all images added to the site while my theme happens to be active, and not added to pre-existing images on the site, and will pollute the markup of the site for all following themes. That sucks, and is no good at all. Does anyone know where to look for a filter that covers the markup of images at page render time? Is there such a filter? Do I really have to do this in javascript? (a very lame solution indeed) Do I have to filter "the_content" and then parse for image tags?!? Or more likely, am I missing something (obvious)?

Alternatively, you could shove the_content into simplehtmldom in order to not write a regular expression and then just find the img tags and wrap them there. But you'd have to include simplehtmldom with your theme.

Thanks; I swallowed my pride and did it in jQuery - you have to account for some images having the wp-caption div wrapped around them already - so I decided it was better to do it in jQuery and either wrap my div or just add a class to the one already there depending. On the plus side; I'm considerably better at rewriting the page with jQuery than when I began

You could do this in five minutes by just taking the form input and dumping it into a text file/csv etc. It would be about as easy as installing a Wordpress plugin.

Make a template for that page and then have the template handle the post with the e-mail address. Or, make a template than can handle an AJAX request with the e-mail address and then put it on every page. Failing that, make something in functions.php that checks for a specific post request and have that handle things.
