have you tried any changes based on my file? It doesn’t look like it as my code displays the exceprts on the archives pages….

good luck!

looks like you are getting closer…good luck!

but again…does this post come up on Google yet?

When someone needs answers fast, it would be helpful to have the ENTIRE wordpress support forum at their disposal through the search and NOT have to wait until Google indexes the post from an hour ago with their solution.

And I have read a post about the search feature here…but again, I could not find it again… ??

Perhaps a Google Suggest search would be helpful to indicate common keywords….

@anon: from my original post

Also, I know you can use Google to seach this site, but why not just offer a helpful search tool here? Why rely on Google to crawl this site when the posts are all stored in a searchable database anyways? Then you don't need to wait on Google to index a new post that might help solve your problem or improve your site?

I have recieve no spam messages since implementing this….

@kafkaesqui

I disagree…If my search had yielded a similar post to this, I would have just appended that post with my comments. However, I was unable to find one after about 5 searches, so I stopped. I think I stumbled upon some discussions about this forum a couple weeks ago and could not find them again.

Then this post would have been eliminated ??

Then I suggest the search function be modified to a search similar to other popular forums. For example, allowing the user to choose sub-forums to search, choosing a date range, searching titles or full text, etc…

Also, do not limit the number of search results, as it can really be frustrating to a user with a problem that may not know every keyword they should be searching for to get a helpful search returned. I have given up on a couple things I have tried for not being able to find the solution through a search for the error line number or similar…..

This might also eliminate re-posts on common topics…

The best help I can give is to find a Coppermine theme VERY similar to your WordPress layout (there are several you can look at on their demo site – https://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/) and start changing the format, one piece at a time, until it matches. It will help you become familiar with the code (in WordPress AND Coppermine) so you aren’t in the same situation when you decide to update WordPress OR Coppermine….

go to your selected theme’s template.html and replace the header img with the URL of your header img file

For example, using the Coppermine Hardwired theme, look for:
<td width="778" height="61" valign="middle" align="right" background="themes/hardwired/images/hw_01.gif">

and replace the background attribute with the URL to your image header.

‘htp://www.rvadventure.ca/your_wp_dir/where_ever_your_pic_is/your_header.jpg`

Do the same for the footer and any other images you want to replace…

Do not use relative paths (you can, but if you don’t know how, just use the whole URL), as they are installed in different directories….

My guess is that your path to your header and footer is wrong, as going to the image linked in your source for the header I get a file not found error.

reconsider Coppermine…

I’m sure there are many more using Coppermine and WordPress with matching layouts…

also CoppermineFetch is a php script you can use to display your Coppermine images outside of coppermine…

Note that it is on a static page utilizing a top and bottom file for header and menu code as discussed on this link…

Maybe try moving it after. Like I said, I think it has to do with the order that the variables are stored. That is what mixed my problem, but maybe the reverse will fix yours…

The problem might be that on your archives page <?php $posts_per_page = "-1"; ?> needs to be called before the require("./wp-blog-header.php");

That fixed a similar problem of mine…it has to do with the order that it sets the variables. Let me guess, your blog is set to show only the last 4 posts on the front page?

edit your coppermine theme’s template.html file so that is has the exact same layout as your wordpress template…

from https://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php#customHeader

if you want to add static html-content (for example your site logo), edit /themes/yourtheme/template.html - add/remove anything you want, but be sure to leave everything in that is in brackets.
