The problem is due to the fact that the roles aren’t set for logged out users. You need to wrap the foreach/etc. in an if clause. Code would look like this:

I think the error came from the twittertools plugin that wasn’t able to connect. Just weird that the errorlog says mailchimp-widget.

Thanks for your help anyway!

Sorry, saw there was another thread for it but there it was mainly a hack and not a clean solution.

There is a wordpress plugin for that called “Tabbed Widgets”.
You’ll find it in the extend > plugins section on www.ads-software.com

just added the feature to show comments from a specific category to my plugin “most comments”. let me know if that works for you.

would you be interested in me extending the “most comments” plugin to make use of this function? i’m generally thinking about new features.

looks very nice and the idea is also good

Oh, I forgot the colored themes! ?? The color you select gets saved in a cookie.

i like scheme1gp0.jpg best

have you got a working solution yet, that shows how to do this with the filter?

i’m always getting this error:

i have some kind of logic going on in the brands template page.

i don’t know at what part i should add a filter and how everything fits together. i’ve never done something with filters.

basically i have to add this function to the plugin and somewhere add filter? what do i do in the template page?

in my plugin i have functions like:
one_brand($ID)
all_brands($letter, $in, $limit, $breakafter, $orderby)

Excerpt, brands.php template page:

<?php
// adaption for WP2: just isset doesn't work anymore, that's why we assign $_GET to $l, etc.
$l = $_GET['l'];
$b = $_GET['b'];
$in = $_GET['in'];
// adaption end

if (! isset($b)) {
if (! isset($l) && ! isset($in)) {
$letter = "";
echo '<h2 class="capheadsmall" style="padding-top: 10px">RECENTLY ADDED BRANDS</h2>';
all_brands($letter, $in, 21, 3, 'date');
} elseif (isset($l)) {
$letter = $l;
echo '<h2 class="capheadsmall" style="padding-top: 10px">BRANDS: ' . $letter . '</h2>';
all_brands($letter, $in, null, 3, 'brand_name');
} elseif (isset($in)) {
echo '<h2 class="capheadsmall" style="padding-top: 10px; text-transform: uppercase;">' . str_replace("-", " ", $in) . ' Brands</h2>';
all_brands($letter, str_replace("-", " ", $in), null, 3, 'brand_name');
}

} else {
if (! isset($b)) {
$ID = "";
} else {
$ID = $b;
}
one_brand($b);
all_ads($ID, $in, $letter);
brand_news($b);
}

Excerpt plugin:


function one_brand ($ID) {
$letter = $_GET['l'];
global $wpdb;
$sql = "SELECT ID, brand_name, brand_desc, brand_industry, brand_link, brand_img FROM wp_brands WHERE ID = $ID AND brand_active = 1";
$results = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$output = '';

$brand_name = stripslashes($result->brand_name);
$brand_link = $result->brand_link;
$brand_img = $result->brand_img;
$brand_desc = stripslashes($result->brand_desc);
$brand_industry = $result->brand_industry;
$output .= '<div style="line-height: 17px; padding-top: 10px">' . $before;

if ($brand_img != "") {
$output .= '<div style="float: right; padding-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 10px"><img src="/wp-content/random-brand/' . $brand_img . '" style="margin: 3px 0 5px 0" alt="Link: ' . $brand_name . '" /></div>';

$slogan_year = $result->year;
if($slogan_year == "0000") { $slogan_year = ""; }
$output .= '<tr><td width="90%" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #F3E9E2">' . $slogan_desc . '</td><td width="10%" style="padding: 3px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid #F3E9E2">' . $slogan_year . '</td></tr>';

echo $output;
echo "</table>";
}
}

I’d be even willing to buy you a small book at amazon.com or something :), if it would work out.

OMG, damn…I should have known earlier. Argh.

Do you know how to do this URL interception thing? At what points? in the template or just the plugin?

RewriteRule ^brands/([0-9]+)/([A-Z])/?.* https://beta.brandinfection.com/brands/?b=$1&l=$2 [L]

This rule works for URLs like
https://beta.brandinfection.com/brands/139/W/Wonka

but at the end there’s written
https://beta.brandinfection.com/brands/?b=139&l=W

in the url bar.

/brands is a wordpress page with page-name “brands”, so it’s not a real directory

Story behind:
I wrote a plugin, that displays all various brands. I then created a page template called “brands” (brands.php) which i use as normal wordpress page. With a couple of functions out of the plugin.

I tried to change [L] to [R] and you’re right, that works but is not the nice-url I want to have.

Hm, weird. What do you think?
