I’ll besure to come back and post my solution in case anybody else can use it.

FWIW, one of the things pushing me in the direction I’m going is the Gengo experience. If I use a plugin and a subsequent upgrade of WP renders it nonfunctional, then I’ve got to scramble to fix a live site (and one that I hope to have some decent traffic at – but then don’t we all). My way, I’ve got one little function that basically toggles between free-standing versions of WP. The odds are low it’ll break and I’ll know how to fix it if it does. And worst case scenario, even if that one function were to break, I’d still have perfectly functioning sites in each language.

So there’s that.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the replies. I had in fact read about most of the options available and found most of them to be unsuitable for my situation – either because they didn’t address features I needed, were in an alpha stage, or because the links to the plugins were just dead. The best option seemed to be Gengo which is why I mentioned it specifically in the post.

I was not aware of the new version of Gengo at the link moshu provided, but I note that it is also an alpha (not even a beta, but an alpha). Moreover, a webcomic site is pretty much all about the single post view, so problems there are a reason for pause.

Given that I’m already “beating WordPress into submission” to run a multi-title webcomic site, it’ll probably be easier to do my own thing – less chance for incompatibilities.

No need to answer my original question at this point; I’ve been tossing the idea around in the back of my mind during the day and am now fairly certain as to how to approach it with fairly minimal coding needed.

Thanks anyway,

Matt

Just bumping this to see if anybody bites. I did search on this a bit yesterday, but – surprisingly – came up empty. So if you’re holding back because this is one of those already answered questions, please point the answer out to me ’cause I didn’t find it.

If nobody has any better ideas than the one I suggested in the opener, I’ll probably start toying with that approach in a couple of days. Just trying to avoid reinventing the wheel if possible.

Thanks again,

Matt

Check out the css file for the default template. In the images subsection (which starts at about line 333 in my copy) you’ll see images have max-width set to 100%.

Hope that helps,

So you want the functionality of next_post_link() and previous_post_link() with the ‘in_same_cat’ parameter set, but also an ability to test for a custom field?

Exactly! I have a habit of taking the long way around to say things. ??

I appreciate you taking a look at it and I’ll check back to see what develops. In the meantime, I’m also studying the codex and dissecting some related plug-ins to see what I can learn.

“At quick search of the Forum”

I spent an hour or so searching for this and didn’t happen upon this thread until it occurred to me to use “reverese” as a search term. (I’d tried next/prev, category, navigation, etc. ad nauseum.) I realize that a lot of people just jump in and ask before searching and you guys get tired of dealing with that, but the “quick search of the forum” part of the reply seems more like a condescending dig than a helpful pointer. People use variations of that response all the time, but I’d consider rewording it to maximize the help and minimize the perceived condescension. For example:

“I did a search on the term “reverse” and found this thread thread-url.”

Or words to that effect.

Something like that still gets the idea of searching across to those who don’t search first. And for those of us who did search but, for whatever reason, came up empty, it avoids sounding snide while at the same time helping us figure out why we came up empty. Everybody wins.

Just a suggestion I came up with after a not-so-quick soul search.

I’m just chiming in to say that I’d love to see this capability.

Thanks! That works perfectly!

Matt
