Thanks… that puts my mind at ease.
More than hiding the subdomain, it was necessary because of the cross-domain javascript problem. It works fine, so far… have only tested it on one domain so far, and if this works smooth, I’ll probably do it on all the others.

I hadn’t read the changelog when I installed it. I just remembered it from when I last tried it out, and at that time only subdomains were supported.

Thanks, once again.

I’m in the process of migrating a dozen sites or so to a single WP 3.0 site, using domain mapping. There seems to be some sort of javascript error, on account of plugins calling siteurl to define paths to the js files. It appears that the domain mapping plugin _is_ performing some checks on whether siteurl is called… but that doesn’t seem to be working for me.

So, my solution was to go into the database and redefine siteurl for the problem site to the same as the mapped domain. Things run smooth after that. But, is that the right way to go about doing it?

<aside>If only I’d known I could have done it with a subfolder structure… would make my work a wee bit easier.</aside>

I’m far from being a coder, but I know how to identify clean code. If there’s one thing that’s a give-away about how muddled the code in this plugin is, it’d be the names…

The plugin is referred to as wp-e-commerce/wp-ecommerce, wpsc, nzshoppingcart (!), and now getshopped. Really… stick with a name. It doesn’t matter which one, as long as I know that database entries with abcd_ are somehow linked to the functions with the prefix abcd_. And the official site for the plugin has a name that has something to do with the letters abcd.

I’ve been attempting to use this plugin for several years, since the days of the Kia Ora mails they used to send out. And I still don’t get it. Yes, I’m probably that daft for not being able to figure out how the plugin works.

I found Magento easier to set up, and I had a fully functioning site up in a couple of weeks. If these cartoons are anything to go by, I must be a freaking genius.

But I still have no luck with wpec/wpsc/getshopped/nzsc/instinct.

There’s something a bit more than a plugin, https://mu.www.ads-software.com
Each band could get a blog to itself, but there’d be a fair amount of additional work involved.

Otherwise, you could use regular wordpress, restrict authors to specific categories named after their band, and drop /category/ from the url, if you please. Then, add a gig calendar.

Couple that with apldji’s suggestion, and you should be good to go.

That’s how I’d do it.

Yes, it’s possible.

Create a new logo (transparent PNG, 290 px by 50 px), and upload it using FTP to /wp-content/themes/degusto/img/. Name the file logo.png.

Ah, sorry… I misread the codex page.

Or, you could just wrap in within <code>... </code> tags.

Try WP-o-matic. It uses RSS feeds from other blogs, and creates posts from them.

You’d have to use combinations of conditional tags, depending on the category or page you’re on: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Conditional_Tags

You can use these tags to show different ads, and even to change the layout… limited by how comfy you are with PHP/CSS.

You won’t be able to log into your blog from www.ads-software.com.
Try this:
Go to YOURBLOG.com/wp-admin/
and sign in with your username and password.
If it works there, it will work pretty much the same way when you shift your blog to a new host.

Change your permalink structure to %postname%
It automatically assigns a %pagename% structure to your pages.
Sub-pages assume the structure %parent-pagename%/%child-page-name%

I’d done the project pages on this site using a javascript horizontal scroll, of sorts. Ignore the marquee on the front page.
It uses this script from Dynamic Drive… with a bit of tweaking, it can be made to work with posts, just as easily.

There’s an RSS widget that comes built-in with WordPress. Drag that into your sidebar, and add your forum’s feed in the settings.
