solution: hacking the default css
i was adding the following line to the WordPress Default Theme
overflow:hidden

so the new #content looks like
#content {
font-size: 1.2em;
overflow:hidden;
}


see the results:

g’day,
parasew

strange, just tested with the WPMU theme, there everything seems to be ok..
https://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=245086

did the theme get updated, or is this just a problem with content being to big as stated above?

seems like the searchbox is not the problem — i started a second job without a searchbar, but still the same problem: the sidebar-contents are aligned to the bottom of the page in internet explorer.

hi all, same problem here with the default template from wordpress 1.5.2
is there any fix for that?
i started a browsercam-job to show you the problems in internet explorer

(see pictures 37-48)

ok looks like dev.wp-plugins.org is down. any ideas when it will be up again?

thanks for your reply, the problem were some queries i made before, that overwrote the main page.php loop query. the problems are all outlined in the wordpress codex
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/the_loop

thanks for your answer anyway Kafkaesqui!

i solved the problems with output buffering, see https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/?pagename=HowTo%2FUseTemplatesInAnyDirectory for some more information

for my special case with the previous/next links, the following code would work:


<?php global $searchnavigation;
ob_start(); ?>
<div class="search_navigation">
<div class="alignleft_search"><?php posts_nav_link('','','??? Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright_search"><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries ???','') ?></div>
</div>
<?php $searchnavigation = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

for later use you would just print($searchnavigation);

i found a solution which i wanted to post here if anyone has the same needs:

edit wp-includes/functions-post.php and change line 353 from

|| ($author_data->user_level > $post_author_data->user_level)

to

|| ($author_data->user_level >= $post_author_data->user_level)

this makes postings editable for users of the same levels.

yes, i read that too on the wp-hackers list; is there any other way to change user levels besides switching to unstable-cvs version of wordpress? or is there any semi-stable previous version?

i posted a more modified version on https://parasew.com/hacks
the added feature is if the string is shorter than the length argument, it stays untouched.
have fun!

i made a hack to the previous_post() and to the next_post(), maybe this is a nice feature to put in the next release version, as it is fully backwards compatible.

in template-functions-links.php replace the following two functions
function previous_post
function next_post


function previous_post($format='%', $previous='previous post: ', $title='yes', $in_same_cat='no', $limitprev=1, $excluded_categories='', $limit, $more_string) {

if ( empty($in_same_cat) || 'no' == $in_same_cat )
$in_same_cat = false;
else
$in_same_cat = true;

$post = get_previous_post($in_same_cat, $excluded_categories);

if(! $post) {
return;
}

if ((isset($limit)) && ($limit >0)) {
$s_post=substr($post->post_title,0,$limit);
if (isset($more_string)) $s_post.=$more_string;
}
else {$s_post=$post->post_title;}

$string = '<a>ID).'">'.$previous;
if ($title == 'yes') {
$string .= apply_filters('the_title', $s_post, $post);
}
$string .= '</a>';
$format = str_replace('%', $string, $format);
echo $format;
}

// Deprecated. Use next_post_link().
function next_post($format='%', $next='next post: ', $title='yes', $in_same_cat='no', $limitnext=1, $excluded_categories='', $limit, $more_string) {

if ( empty($in_same_cat) || 'no' == $in_same_cat )
$in_same_cat = false;
else
$in_same_cat = true;

$post = get_next_post($in_same_cat, $excluded_categories);

if(! $post) {
return;
}

if ((isset($limit)) && ($limit >0)) {
$s_post=substr($post->post_title,0,$limit);
if (isset($more_string)) $s_post.=$more_string;
}
else {$s_post=$post->post_title;}

$string = '<a>ID).'">'.$next;
if ($title=='yes') {
$string .= apply_filters('the_title', $s_post, $nextpost);
}
$string .= '</a>';
$format = str_replace('%', $string, $format);
echo $format;
}

the functions are called like this:

previous_post('??? %','','yes','','','',8,'(...)');
next_post(' % ???','','yes','','','',9,'(...)');

the number (7th argument) indicates the length after which the output should be cropped. (optional)
the 8th argument is the text to put after the cropping.

useful? i think so!

please, need some examples on how you ppl from the forum use mod_rewrite url redirecting. especially for “ultimate tag warrior” but also for other purposes!
thanks a lot

eventcalendar2 does work super, you just have to read the documentation and also other posts on this topic.
there is a plugin for future posts

there is a plugin like this, you might want to take a look at eventcalendar2

the_excerpt() is always outputting <p> tags around the text. any idea if this behaviour can be changed? does one have to hack the sources or is there any other way too?
