a heavily modified WP site

Thanks for the rotator script. I’ll be eagerly waiting for the rest!

Lorelle

Great site and great content. I am impressed of how you use WP. Really nice!

How did you make that calendar show future events? I have tried using WP’s calendar but couldn’t do it.

Cheers

XepoX,
I use another script for the calendar; https://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php

I needed a calendar specifically for events, speaking, art tours, etc. I was already familiar with webcalendar so I just folded it into the site.

Lorelle, I’ll be getting around to explaining the way I did categories and how the right changes dependent upon the category and page sometime this week.

I will hold you to your promise!!!! Eagerly waiting!!! Crossing my eyes with excitement!

Nice site!!

How did you changed the images frame?

How did you make your authors upload images? this has been really difficult for me since the people that write at my site aren’t very experienced on the internet usage.

Please explain about the categories.

Hi Dividespace, I like the design very much.

I was wondering, did you manage to show multiple id’s on one page, without installing 2 databases or using 2 different table prefixes?
Say I would like to show id=23 and id=45 on one page, would that be possible? Would I have to use the URL (for example: https://www.mysite.com/page.php?p=23&p2=45) or is there a way to hardcode this in the page?

It seems to me that is something one needs for a CMS, but I can’t find anything about this subject.

Thanks, Kor

Love the implementation of Fitts’s Law.

Yes, very nice looking WP site. I am also eager to hear on how you did the catagory trick. I need something like that to show subcatagories when somone is on an entry from the main catagory.

Also is the email page script a WP plugin? Your ‘print’ button takes me to a form by the way. . .

Okay, Dividespace, you heard it. The pleas are ringing off the wall and you are in demand.

Please, oh, please, post how you handled the categories!!! We’re begging!

Lorelle and all,
Sorry to say but this is a very busy work week for me. I’ve started a small tutorial for the category trick, which isn’t a trick but did take me a long time to to figure out and implement. Anyway, I’ll be finishing it up by the end of the week, hopefully by friday. Thanks

kordwarshuis,
No use of a second database.
This is what I have at the start of the page for the Military Corporate Complex page (https://vitw.org/mic/) which implements multiple categories (Corporate Rule, Military Corporate Complex, and Counter Recruitment) to show on that page

<?php
$blog = 1;
if (!isset($cat)) {
$cat = "65 64 63";
}
/* Don"t remove this line. */
require("./wp-blog-header.php");
?>

Hope that’s what you are looking for.

MaThIbUs,
ah the first one to notice the use of Fitt’s Law. Wish I had a cookie or some prize to give you. ??

Dividespace,

Did you have a chance yet of giving us a little tip on how you handle the permalinks?

You might have posted to a new thread, so I’m still looking.

Thanks,
Lorelle

OK, I finally found a little time to devote to answering the how I did the categories on my https://vitw.org site. Sorry for the delay. I had to deal with the Iraqi elections and such and have been extremely busy developing new things.

First a word of caution. I did the following changes and additions to my site using wordpress 1.3 alpha and I haven’t tried to upgrade to 1.5 alpha yet so I’m not sure that what changes I made will transfer over to 1.5 without any problems. When I do make the upgrade I’ll let you know how it goes.

Here are links to the places that helped me get categories going the way I wanted them on my site.

1.) WordPress Modifications, Creating separate category and individual files
https://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/07/07/wordpress-modifications/2/

1a.)Also, FYI, Burningbird’s Making the Move from Movable Type to WordPress at https://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/04/14/making-the-move-from-movable-type-to-wordpress/1/ was invaluable to me since I was making that very move.

What i did for anyone to look at is I made an example page that displays 3 recent posts from 2 differect categories, and then shows the main category I wanted shown.

Visit https://vitw.org/libraryWordPress.php – This is the example page that I notated. On that page I’ve included links to the code.

Also see, https://vitw.org/libraryWordPress.phps – This is the example page code.

The original page that the Example above is based in is located at https://vitw.org/library/

Anyway, take a look and let me know if this helps, or if anyone needs to view another file that I haven’t linked and included in the example page above just let me know and I’ll post it.

Thanks everyone,
Scott
