• I have finished my first hack and have it ready for the world to view.
    wp-People is a hack that will replace people’s names with a link to a pop-up bio information screen. (1.0+ Compatible)
    You can find out more information and download the zip from my forum.

    I figured out a fix for the mod_rewrite issues and posted it on my forum.
    Do you have a method of checking you SQL queries? Try removing the people parameter and putting in an actual number.

    ok, i ran phpmyadmin thingy and ran the query putting a number (i.e 3) in place of the $people param and it returned the value fine…
    looking at the error that comes up, the paramater doesn’t look like it’s getting passed in the query, as if you try (in phpmyadmin) to run the query without the param, you get exactly the same error msg…
    why would this be? odd…any suggestions…?

    umm..don’t want to be a pain i realise this is a “free-time” type activity, but did you get the e-mail? Any ideas?
    cheers

    Apparently not, since you didn’t get my reply.
    In the wp-people-popup.php file, right after the global variable, put the following :
    $person = $_GET['person'];
    Let me know if that makes it work for you.

    That works…thanks loads for workin out what the problem was. Much appreciated!
    Was it something related to my hosts/server setup that made it only a problem for me?
    cheers

    I’m glad that worked.
    Not sure why it only popped up when you did it.
    However, I’ll update my code so no one else will run into the issue.

    1) I cant see the photos on my pop-ups (go to memento–mori.org/blog.php and click on the Marlen which is the first word)
    2) I would like this to be a part of the admin panel when I blog (the add friend and stuff). I dont like putting the url in all the time ??
    Or maybe I just missed something during the installation….

    Step 5 addes the link to the admin page.

    5) opt. Modify [wp-blog]/[wp-admin]/menu.txt* to add People link to the admin menu
    i.e. 7[tab]wp-people-admin.php[tab]People

    Step 8 talks about the images.

    8) Move nophoto.jpg to /images directory
    If you put the image in a different directory, open the wp-people-popup.php file and
    find /images/nophoto.jpg and change the directory to your directory.

    In the example you showed, there wasn’t an image saved for that bio.

    I’m experiencing a problem with wp-people. I d/l’d it about three days ago and installed it today. The install seemed to go fine, even the my-hacks modification. I entered myself in the people table but when I look at my proto-blog I don’t see any difference (and I hit “reload”). My site is tangent.ceejaycee.net .

    Hmmm?
    When you entered yourself in the database, did you use your full name? Because the name you type in the blog has to be exactly like the name in the database (except case).

    Has this been tested with 1.2beta/delta?

    The name in the database is just Mark, as it is in the test blog entry I made.

    It looks like I messed up somewhere. In retracing my steps I couldn’t find the file my-hacks.php within the blog directory. I created it and copied the my-hacks-script into it, and in the main directory it now sits. The blog itself hasn’t changed behavior.
    I know I copied it yesterday but I’ll be damned if I can tell what I did with it.

    @sportbiker – Yeah, if you don’t have the my-hacks.php file, then none of the hacks will work.
    @intrepide1 – No. I haven’t installed 1.2 on my site to test it out.
    If someone else who is using 1.2 would like to test it out and let me know if there are any issues, I would appreciate it.
    I also don’t know if I am going to turn it into a plug-in or not. I haven’t looked into the plug-in stuff.

    I do now have the file with your script copied into it but it didn’t make a difference.
