In reply to: [Google Custom Search Plugin] Don't waste your timeHey guys.
I need to implement this on another site this week – I’ll write up a proper how-to.

In reply to: [Google Custom Search Plugin] Don't waste your timefoshdafosh, did you use the code in both of my posts? I just checked, and the search box is still functional on my sites.
I’m not sure if it matters, but I’m still using the Twenty Ten theme, not Twenty Eleven.

In reply to: [Google Custom Search Plugin] Don't waste your timeLooks like I’m not using the widgets at all. Instead, I’ve got a child theme (based off of Twenty Ten), and this code is in header.php:
<!-- Search Box Begin--> <div class="header-search"> <?php get_search_form(); ?> </div> <!-- Search Box End -->
I’ve got this in my style.css too:
/* Searchbox Style */ .header-search { height: 30px; clear: right; float: right; margin: 6px 0 18px 0; width: 220px; } .search-text { float: left; display: block; height:20px; width:160px; }
Hope this helps! I wrote the author last November but never heard anything.

In reply to: [Google Custom Search Plugin] Don't waste your timeOkay, I got this to work again. I’ll write the author shortly.
In the meantime, if you’d like to use this, do as the author says here:
https://aleembawany.com/projects/wordpress/google-custom-search-plugin/
As there’s no longer an iframe option, though, choose “results only” for the layout. I chose “minimalist” for the style, but it probably doesn’t matter. Click “save and get code”.
Once you’ve enabled the plugin in your WordPress installation, paste that code into the second box on the config page (the search results one).
So, that takes care of how to display the search results. But you’ll need a search box too. For that, I found this page on Google’s site:
https://www.google.com/support/customsearch/bin/answer.py?answer=1728572
I used that code, but had to get rid of the last line – it was showing the “Google custom search” image below the search box, not inside. As the page says, find and fill in your search engine ID. Paste the code into the first box of the WordPress plugin config page, and you’re done! Save and go to your site to test.

In reply to: [Google Custom Search Plugin] Don't waste your timeI successfully implemented this last winter. Since then, Google’s deprecated the iframe option. I discovered this when trying to add it to a new site I’m building – you’re not even given the iframe option anymore.
I’ll need to find something else for both sites. This worked quite well up until now, though.

In reply to: Please help me update my comments.php to support WP 2.7Anyone willing to take a look? I’d really like to put in some more time this weekend towards finishing the site. We’re really almost there – the list is getting shorter, but this is the only thing I can’t do on my own.
I guess my other alternative is sticking with the old code, since it doesn’t seem to be deprecated yet. We don’t need fancy threaded commenting, I just don’t want to upgrade the site later and find the theme breaks. :/

In reply to: Please help me update my comments.php to support WP 2.7It’s…kinda over my head, so I posted this thread to ask for help.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Please help me update my comments.php to support WP 2.7Thanks for the link to the Codex. I spent a bunch of time with that page last night, and was able to get a commenting section with the default wp_list_comments settings. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to style it to look like the old comments.php.
Can you take a look at the code and the screenshots and tell me what you think? Worst case, I guess I’ll just stick with the old-style comments.php until it breaks.

In reply to: [Plugin: Members Only] compatible with 2.8?Set new user accounts to be ‘Subscriber’ (under Settings –> General), and they’ll only have access to the Dashboard, their profile, etc. They won’t see the posting interface, and they won’t see any settings or plugins.
This allows the Members Only plugin to work – only people with accounts on your site will have access to your content.
Give it a try – make a new account (under Users –> Add New) and log in using another web browser (or log out of your admin account, first). You’ll have very limited access to the WordPress interface, for the purposes of setting your profile details and getting your feed key, for RSS access.

In reply to: [Plugin: Members Only] compatible with 2.8?Using this plugin with 2.8.4 – no issues as far as I can tell.

In reply to: [Plugin: Members Only] compatible with 2.8?Indeed, the author seems quite busy. However – I’m using the plugin with 2.8.1, and things seem to work fine.

In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Its a crap plugin for the lazyWhy don’t you develop your own plugins, rather than discouraging others from doing so?

In reply to: previous_image_link()Or, if you’d prefer, the author has changed it to a plugin:

I’m not sure how to flag this thread as a duplicate, hope a mod sees this.

In reply to: Inserting images from iPhoto with Mac OS 10.5.2If you haven’t already figured it out:
1. In iPhoto, click the photo (or photos) you’d like to upload.
2. In the File menu, click ‘Export’. Make sure the ‘File Export’ tab is selected.
3. Kind should be ‘Current’ (or ‘Original’, but I’d stick with ‘Current’).
4. Click the ‘Export’ button. I’d recommend making a new folder for your photos.Then, in WordPress, when selecting your images, pick the ones in the folder that you just exported within iPhoto. ??
BTW, I’m using iPhoto ’08 – instead of File menu –> Export, it might be under Share menu –> Export in older versions of iPhoto.
Hope this helps.
