I have another question – on that page it says
“Many scripts in Perl, Python, PHP, Applescript and Java have already been written and are ripe for the picking (and tweaking)”

I am looking for one done in PHP that I could work on tweaking and then eventually working into flash. Do you know of any PHP scripts or forms that would work? I can’t seem to find any yet

Thanks

great, thanks for pointing me in the right direction

ok so I figured it out. For anyone trying to do this in the future….

Open the file “wp-includes/template-functions-post.php”
On line 74 or so there is a function called “the_content”
Copy that whole function and paste it below
Rename it to something like “the_content_modified”
Change the line that reads “echo $content;”
To “return $content;”

Now you can store it in a variable using:
$myVariable = htmlspecialchars (the_content_modified(”, 0, ”));

*this example will keep all the HTML tags

Hey,
I want to store the output of the_content in a PHP variable as well. However, I don’t think I can use post->post_content because I need the code to be HTML – (so it includes the
tags and <p> tags and stuff). Is there any way to store that code in a variable?

eg- either have post->post_content output as HTML
or- store the_content in a variable

HELP!

hey, try reposting the code like this:

<!– uncomment the “by <?php the_author(); ?> to put the author’s name on the post –>
<div class=”post”>
<h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent link to <?php the_title();?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<small>Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘); ?> on <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’); ?> by <?php the_author(); ?></small>
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry ?’); ?></div>

<p class=”postmetadata”><?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’,”,’|’); ?><?php comments_popup_link(‘ Leave A Comment ?’, ‘1 Comment ?’, ‘% Comments ?’); ?></p>
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
</div>

I’m not sure if you guys have this working yet but I did something like this before.
This really helped:

And I think you’ll need this too – to exclude categories from a blog page use this plugin:

Hey Antonia,
What do you mean by only one line at a time?

Try removing or re-naming the index.html or index.htm file

-I’m not sure…but it could be that not all the files were actually uploaded – that happened to me once and I got an error like that. One of the files containing the function didn’t get uploaded so I had to upload it again.

Hope you figure it out!

I’m pretty sure you need to add something like this to “the loop”:

———-

<p>Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?> on <?php the_time(‘d M Y’); ?>

———-

*the loop is anywhere after the line that looks like:

———-
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
———-

and it is in the “index.php” of your theme

Hope this helps

I am trying to do this same thing – replace a string in ‘the_content’

I am using it in the RSS file but I want the RSS to output all the HTML (including tags and stuff). So the way I am using it is like this:

<![CDATA[<?php the_content('', 0, '') ?>]]>

What I want to do is take that output and store it in a variable and do a string replace after all the tags.

(I am pulling the content into Flash – but wordpress adds a space after the tags which translate as a full line break in Flash – so I want to replace the space with nothing so it’s gone)

Has anyone come up with a way to store the output of ‘the_content’ in a variable yet?

did you happen to delete your theme at all? I would recomend checking the themes folder to make sure all the files are still there

Here’s another thing Im working on – I want postie (or maybe WordPress?) to auto create thumbnails of each image uploaded by postie like WordPress does for you when you upload images.

Does anybody have even a small idea that might help?

I am still working on this….
To re-define what I’m doing:

I am now using postie to Blog by email but also sending image attachments. Postie automatically adds the image to the post. However, what I am trying to do is make the image a seperate entity. I want to be able to post just the image URL in the loop by itself. Is there anyway of doing this?

It seems like there would be – and that it would be simpler than what postie is already doing, which is adding the photo to the html of the post.

Any help?

Hey – I am not really sure what your problem is- but is it possible that your chmod isn’t set to allow uploads? Just a guess…
