Having found this plugin, I think this might be well coupled with the plugin TDO Mini Forms, but I have no clue how to integrate the two!

Wow Shane, that’s awesome information except I’m still an novice at PHP!

First, I’m not exactly sure how to design a usable form for this. Would I kinda mimic how Cforms or Contact Form 7 work and just point the directory to the “755” folder?

For instance, like this?

<form action="[what do I reference here?]">
<fieldset>
<input type="file" />
<textarea></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</fieldset>
</form>

If so, I’m not sure where to assign the upload path. I also don’t know how to modify the submit query for wp_posts table!

Could you or someone please help? Thanks!

I haven’t update this yet because I’ve been slowly trying to make it work but the short answer is yes, it is possible to integrate the Coda theme into another theme. I’m doing it the hard way because of my VERY limited knowledge of php and js, but I know there’s a way this can be done easily.

When I have it up and running, I will write back saying what I have done.

Perfect! That’s exactly what I needed and it worked like a charm. Thanks MichaelH!

Wow, thank you MichaelH! But, I was mistaken in my post because I wasn’t thinking about the category thing.

What I really DO want is the content of several pages in one post. Lemme revise what I said.

I’d like to have the content of child pages of a parent page to show up in the parent page.

So, once again, for example:
I have a page called one.
This parent page has 6 child pages.
<p>I’d like to have all the content of the child pages on the parent page. Not just titles, but content also.</p>

<p>So, if I go to /one/, I would see the content from all 6 of those child pages as well.</p>

I will verify this works with 2.7 as well! I had the same error as ethoslight but found out it was because of extra spaces after the ?> in my php. Deleting the extra space fixed my problem! Thanks for this thread!

I know my problem might be solved if I understood better how to use the WordPress specific PHP but I’m not very confident to know what to do. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Well, after a little frustration, error, and then trial, I figured everything out. So, for those who come to this later seeking the answer to my question, here’s what I found out.

Parent – Using this part of the pages, giving certain pages a parent page, helps to form the sub-levels of the parent. So, in my first example above, Location, Contact, and Staff all should have a parent page of About.

Sort order – I wanted all the parent levels and sub-levels to be ordered a certain way. In the php, this attribute enables that to happen:
sort_column=menu_order
In order for these orders to appear correctly, one must assign a numerical order in the part of the page called Order and assign values numerically beginning with 1.

What I couldn’t understand at first is how wp_list_pages was able to list all top-level and sub-level menus correctly but hopefully my explanation made sense why it’s possible.

Thanks again, drmanry!

drmanry,

Please forgive my ignorance as I’m a novice with PHP and WordPress code.

Could you possibly help me learn how to make this work? With all the pages I have created, I want 4 particular pages to be the top-level and about 10 other certain pages to be sublevels of one of these top 4 pages for the dropdown menu.

What I do not understand is how to specify top levels and sublevels for my needs, nor has any WordPress documentation indicated what I would need to do this.

I appreciate your help!

drmanry, that code works for only one level of menus. It would wonderfully but doesn’t completely serve my needs. I need two levels of menus, one which is a sublevel of the root level.

Thanks for anyone who can give me other suggestions.

I’m thinking it has something to do with the else but I really don’t have enough php experience to know. Thanks for anything you can suggest.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

It seems the answers to my questions have appeared to me already. The gravatars have finally showed up, so I’m guessing WordPress does in fact link to gravatar.com’s website to reference the avatar.

As for code placement, I still have no idea if there’s a correct or non correct place to put it, but I tried to put it near the php code which states the commenter user id. After doing that, it appears to be working.

Is there a specific place inside the comments.php that this tag needs to reside? When I randomly stick the tag in there, I do not see any avatar. Not only that, but how does this tag know to reference gravatar.com? Is that built into WordPress’ code? Thanks!

After reviewing the listed options and taking in consideration of my circumstance, I think the best option for me is an offline browser like HTTrack. Here’s my anaylsis:

local server: Because her computer is remote, this solution would be difficult and time consuming to implement. Also, because it’s possible for a future upgrade, it would be a little hassle to transfer everything to a new computer.

XAMPP: A great solution but same reason as above.

WP on a USB stick: Not possible because she runs a Mac and from the research I did, this solution doesn’t work for Macs.

Offline Browser: I’m hoping this is the final solution because if I can successfully extract everything from the site, I can then burn it to a DVD and hopefully make it pop up in a browser when you install the DVD. I am currently trying to get winHTTrack to work but having difficulties with the site. I hope this is the right solution.

I’m still willing to listen to other suggestions if anyone has any. Thanks again for all your suggestions!!
