Well, when you have a mac with OS9 that no one is willing to let you upgrade, then yeah, sometimes you have to have IE5.

Basically the problem to me is that the template tags, though documented pretty well, are not documented completely. It would help to have a few more examples. Even so, I think that the current implementation of tags that deal with pages is far too limited to allow WP to be the everymans-CMS that it could very well be. I mean, currently there are these nice “Custom Fields” for pages, but with no way to query these parameters outside the Page in which they reside, I can’t make much use of them.

I’m still on Gallery 1.5, so I might be in uncharted territory there. Thanks though, I’ll check it out.

Well, from what I can tell, there isn’t much customization that can be done with Page listing at the moment… perhaps in a future version of WP it will be a reality. It’s too bad, because this thing is SO close to being a perfect CMS solution. If anybody has perhaps stumbled across anything I might have missed, please feel free to let me know.

I thought one solution might be to query the pages based on their category… but it seems that in the admin pages (though categorized) cannot have their categories modified! This is really frustrating.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

This is close, but not quite what I need. I need to pull the information about the page before the user visits the page…

So for example, lets say I made a custom field called “theImage” in each page and assigned it an image. Then I want the parent page to generate a list of all the child pages. Each time through the loop, I would like to pull that key (theImage) so I could have a nice list of the child pages.

This should be easy, but I just don’t get it.

The Codex also has no information on post_custom that I could find.

Yeah, I could use some help with this too.

Ok, I have multiple installs of WP, and they are all displaying these blank links, no matter which theme I use.

Admin links seem ok, but links to posts, comments, etc. always display something like:

https://www.url.com/?id=3

It’s like something is wrong with the template tags themselves… or some obscure setting somewhere…???

Ok, I renamed the file back just to check – there is no connection whatsoever…

What could be going on?

I left index.php as-is in the theme folder – only the index.php in root (where the whole blog is built from) has been renamed…

Well, I am currently “testing” the site, and I don’t have the benefit of a testing server, so this is the only way to keep it hidden until it’s ready to go (via obscurity)… why, will renaming the index cause this problem?

I would also like to do this… but since both systems use seperate templating systems, I have no idea how to do this.

Feedread looks like it would suit my needs, but only to a small extent.

The Loop has to be involked from within the template structure, and hence the header from the themes must be called also… which is what I want to avoid.

I could concieveably just ditch my CMS in favor of wordpress for everything if only there were some way to make wordpress accomodate multiple languages, which from what I can tell, there isn’t. According to the Codex, one guy in Japan made a bilingual version based on the 1.2 code… too old.

I’m not sure if modifying htaccess is an appropriate solution for what I want to do. Let me try to see if I can clarify it.

Well, what I’d like to do is use things like the template tags from root instead of within my blog directory… at least, that’s what I think I want to do. Essentially, I want to have access to the power of wp’s template tags without having to use wp’s themes or templates.

I can’t ditch my current CMS and rely on WP. WP’s admin and blogging tools are ideal for my needs, but I need to be able to call and display the content my own way.
