EC3 works fine with WP 2.5 and 2.6

you need the files patched for wordpress 2.5 or later. There is a known problem with rc3 with wordpress 2.5 or later. ??

These are in the SVN at source forge, or a user has made the two critical patched files available in a zip.

https://nymisoa.com/testing/eventcalendar3_patch_for_2_5.zip

Or, if you prefer, you can download it from sourceforge. (but it’s a
.tar.gz, so you may have to extract twice if you’re on a windows machine. )

https://wpcal.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpcal/trunk/eventcalendar3.tar.gz?view=tar

either way, it fixes a bunch of problem with wordpress 2.6

The code HAS been updated in the SVN, but Alex Tingle, the owner has not updated the BLOG to show the new version.

Development continues, and there are other users with SVN access, but not with front end access. If Alex doesn’t show up “soon” someone will doubtless start a fork.

Wow Michael, that is a _very_ odd piece of code. (Redirectify) but isn’t all it accomplishes simply LEAVING the site and ending up somewhere else entirely, while still having a POST database entry?

Wouldn’t simply linking the external code in with an iframe to appear inside the post leave you -in the blog- so to speak?

Comments are associted in the database with POSTS.

If the user clicks on a static html page, which is displayed inside a frame, so that the outer frame is your wordpress blog, there is no post in the database to associate the external html with, so no place to comment.

I suppose what you could do is create a post, and in the html for the post, insert an iframe, and that iframe would have your external content in it, but the comments would be on the post, so the post would look something like:

=======
I thought you mightbe interested in this:
[external page in iframe]
if so comment below…
=======

which would give you a post to hang comments off of.

the code would look something like this:

<p>this is a test</p>
<iframe width="100%" src="https://www.google.com">
</iframe>
<p>and that was it</p>

ok, let me make sure we’re talking about the same thing.

If I go to yadda.yadda.com/aboutme.php you want that to _look_ as though it was a page in your wordpress blog, and this visual appearance is what you mean when you say “compatible with”

If that’s right, then your post above is headed in the right direction.

Your yadda.yadda.com/aboutme.php has to have some additional PHP code added to it. Basically, you have to call out to the wordpress header and sidebar code…

So, at the top, above all your content, you have to call out to yadda.yadda.com/wp-blog-header.php, which is _somewhere_ in your path, but since we don’t know where it is, we’re going to pretend we do and tell you to

require_once(“/some/stupid/path/I/don’t/know/wp-blog-header.php”)

and then you have to add the sidebar and footer code in the appropriate places.

If your aboutme.php generates it OWN headers and footers, you have to do away with them, and if it did the whole business (you know, the html/body/etc stuff) then you have to strip THAT out.

If your aboutme.php page is using smarty templates, then this is going to get REALLY TRICKY and you’re going to want to do some substantial research.

I have installed cat2email in a wordpress 2.0 blog.

It worked fine, except we frequently set posts for release on a future date, stacking them up. Cat2email used the publish_post hook, I modified ONE LINE changing that to the private_to_published hook.

Now when the publication time comes, the post appears, but cat2email doesn’t trigger.

Is there a DIFFERENT add_action I should have used?
