I personally don’t mind WP using PHP + MySQL
It’s that companies don’t usually use MySQL (we use ColdFusion + MS-SQL) and certainly rules out using WP for our blog purposes.

Thanks anyway though!

And 3 months later, still only MySQL?
Not that I’m against it, but it’s bad news if you have a Windows/MS-SQL environment

Maybe WP can incorporate ADODB into it, so it’ll work with MANY databases

one way you can kinda get around it (b/c I tried)
is to switch back to the old version of wp-login.php (1.0) (works with unencrypted password)
and don’t use the newer version one (works with encrypted password)
and change your password from phpMyAdmin at back-end
That works like a charm for me

trench, how did you fix it?
I don’t really have a problem with it, but my friend’s annoyed
so if I can easily fix it, guess I should. Thanks

Mnn….strange, after I add in
$comment_text = convert_smilies($comment_text);
it still doesn’t show up the wp_grins Hack

Strange…on my WP, I don’t see a preview in those ways you mentioned
only way I see it is from [Edit] in Admin (which is not really preview)
right now, it’s more of a trial-and-error for me (which is sufficient)
but a Preview from 1.2 is certainly very welcome

I wish you success, and be prepared though ??
PostgreSQL is similar to MySQL, and the change work didn’t seem pretty at all

Could be easier to sneak a MySQL onto a non-commercial testbox machine and use it for WP

I think it’s a bit difficult to do………… unless you plan to go through WordPress and replace all MySQL functions with ADODB library (which supports multi-databases, including SQL 2000)
why can’t you install MySQL on a IIS machine? it’s Free (for personal)…….I think it’s easier that way, then porting WP to M$ products

database host is usually “localhost” (99%)
it’s possible that your DB names contain your username
e.g. I have a jerryhung account, therefore all my MySQL DB are jerryhung_wordpress (when I entered the DB name of “wordpress”)
best way is to go into phpMyAdmin (if you have it) to see if the DB/tables are there

I have to use this to show the stored music & mood in edit-form.php and edit-form-advanced.php
Current Music:  <input name=”post_music” type=”text” size=”50″ tabindex=”9″ value='<?php echo $post->post_music?>’>
Current Mood:  <select name=”post_mood”>
<?php displayMoodList(); ?>
</select>

Do a search on the forum next time =P

I’m waiting for WP1.2 release, which supports multi-language + localization
At this time, i think you can find the WordPress Japan site (they have a .zip for you to download to hack, I’m still struggling to make it Chinese-compatible @@)

I think you need to modify Apache’s configuration file to tell it look for index.php as index. Search for index.htm, then add index.php (if it’s not there)
I forgot if Apache 2.0 does that, because my Apache 1.3.9.4 defaults to look for index.php
Same thing applies on IIS (as it doesn’t look for any *.php by default). So a safe way could be to do a redirect index.htm (with meta-data redirect)

I tried to overwrite my WP directory with 03.31 build and 2 errors show up. First one is regarding meta-data (so I think I need to create new table?). 2nd one I forgot though.
Do someone mind posting a simple upgrade instruction? Wiki upgrade is for B2 IMO.
Note: I tried to run wp_admin/upgrade.php and nothing happened (I forgot the message)
If not, I’m thinking of using a new test directory for nightly builds (but with same MySQL back-end as the 1.0 one), this provides a testing environment with safety.
Well, I guess an upgrade tutorial is needed for 1.2 release anyway? I’m so afraid to change too much on 1.0 because 1.2 might mess everything up =P. Can’t wait for the multi-language support/preview/meta-data

Do you mind telling me what you did to solve the 2nd problem?
As I’m getting the same error now
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /data/members/paid/m/g/mgivf.com/htdocs/oddsends/wp-includes/template-functions.php on line 1368

Thanks!

I think if you can find the place where they display the images?
change to
<img src=”lala.com/lala.gif” border=0 >
“border=0” will take out any border around the image
I’m just new to WP and still discoverying, but this is a HTML-general question so I can answer you
