Ozh

my more-than-250-character-links were bookmarklets ??

Heh, funny thread, I have to contribute ??
Things I dislike :

• “Validates as XHTML” button, like it’s a mandatory button on a weblog, while the page actually doesn’t validate
• Fixed width layout only. Like “I hate your 1600*1200 resolution, come back at 1204 or leave”
• The so-called “nicer links” trick with 300×150 popups layer over each links, I find popup adds less annoying
• Blogrolls. “Look, here are twenty sites I have no relation with and no idea about their quality or content”

hoooooo I see. Ok. Thanks ??

well, a little bit too narrow on high resolution in my opinion …

I’m not too fond of javascript, but form a user’s POV it’s often better to process a few tests client-side rather than server-side. Like, I really hate to submit a form, wait 5 seconds on a slow server, then get a message telling me to fill this or that (and occasionnaly lose all other fields data in a failed page refresh ??

Anyway, here is a way to “highlight” a missing mandatory input. I finally did it because it has turned as a challenge for me when I couldnt tell why my first try wasnt working ??

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function isValid(thing) {
email=thing.my_field.value;
alert (email);
if (email=="") {
// the form is not ok
// you could also add : alert ('this is a mandatory value');
thing.getElementsByTagName("label")[0].style.color = "red";
alert ('oh');
return false;
} else {
// the form is ok
thing.submit();
return true;
}
}
//-->
</script>
<form name="my_form" id="my_form" method="post" action="yourpage.php">
<label id="my_label" name="my_label" for="my_field">Mandatory value:</label>
<input type="text" id="my_field" />
<input type="button" onClick="return isValid(this.form)" value="Ok" />
</form>

Nice ! Interesting design and use of WP
Not sure though about the “blank page” links ??

wouldnt <? include ‘home/index.php’ ?> work ?

I think a quick googlage with keywords such as “javascript validate form” will lead you to plenty of javascript ready for use.

Rather nice
I’d suggest mirroring locally the buttons you use : for example at the moment blogtree is offline or unavailable, and there a missing image on your site

Ok, I’ll be adding it when I have a few minutes.
Thanks to Michel_v who suggested to use “lang” instead of “class” as I first did.

ho ok, thanks for the explanation. Havent tried (and probably wont) the beta, I didnt know about this feature, which actually looks cool.

“post slugs” ?
Is this a upcoming feature in 1.2 alpha, or did I miss something in 1.0.2 ? Post slugs… Cant even figure what that could be when I try to translate it ??

Searching for “inurl:wp-login -cvs” gives about 3000 results. Probably not accurate since anyone can change the page name, but it may be an alternative way to find new wordpress users ??
Next version definitely needs a “ping WordPress’ official database of blogs” feature to get listed ??

It seems you have a chmod problem. You need to chmod the directories so that they are readable by WordPress.
Your FTP client should allow you to enable “Write Permission” on directories, or if you have shell access use command “chmod +rw your_dir”

I use Filezilla too, even if I think its queue system really sucks :/
