In reply to: iTunes 4.9 Taggingpieceoplastic:
I’m getting the same, I can’t add https://alittlepoison.com/feed/?category_name=podcasts
to Apple’s directory. Could an .htaccess rule be added that would enable the use of something like:
https://alittlepoison.com/podcastfeed/
to the correct url?Also, when I’ve manually added the feed into iTunes 4.9, the description has some non-converted HTML characters…
(ie. the apostrophe in ‘Here’s a new audio…’)How can I get wordpress to not put these into the feed. Thanks to anyone who can help!

In reply to: iTunes 4.9 TaggingI’d be very interested in a plugin, especially as I’m having to manually enter the enclosure details into my posts… WordPress 1.5.1.2 isn’t picking them out of the externally hosted mp3s automatically. I can’t check whether my feed is working with iTunes 4.9 until I get home from work. Anyone want to give it a whirl? ??

In reply to: get_posts – multiple categories & excluding categoriesGoing back to my original plan in the first post here, could I use get_posts for a. and c, and then use a category visiblity plugin for b (which will be the standard Loop)? Would this work if I specified the multiple categories to include, and not the 2 to exlcude? Thanks for your help again.

In reply to: get_posts – multiple categories & excluding categoriesThanks for the help ColdForged! It seems a shame that the get_posts function is almost there… it just needs the ability to exclude categories. At the moment you can specify ONE category for it to display. I have a little experience of PHP, what would be the best way to add this to the function? Hacking the file it’s defined in, or creating a plugin based on its code?

In reply to: adding special characters before category listsHave a look at the CSS for the deafult theme (Kubrick) – the » character is placed before list elements by the css.

In reply to: New Plugin: Comment Form CheckerNice plugin! Unfortunately the javascript code in the <head> invalidates the page as strict XHTML:

In reply to: Changes to index in WP1.3I know that pagination is now a default part of the WordPress index.php… there are a few more differences to the index as well.

In reply to: Show x, y, z posts from cat 1, 2, 3 on one page.I’d also be interested in something like this. Could a plugin be written that could ‘take over’ the ordering of articles on the index page?

In reply to: Thumnail creation and GD versionMy server – scabby as it is – haven’t got around to installing GD or Imagemagick and probably never will. Is there a way you could run a quick check in upload.php so that if these libraries weren’t there, there wouldn’t be an option to create a thumbnail?
I have a few tech-lite writers, and in its current state it confuses them and generally makes them sweaty.
BTY, I’m loving the software. I’ve just finished the final design here https://www.alittlepoison.com – cheers!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Category dropdown list – no go! button?Thanks for looking into it for me, but I think that solution uses FrontPage forms… I’ve tried it out with no success.
Can this be done by change the form code below, or would it need other code?
<?php dropdown_cats(1, ‘CATEGORIES’, ‘name’, ‘asc’, 0, 0, 0); ?>Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: MT to WP: Another convertYou unlocked this door with the key supplied at the egress of MT. Inside it is another dimension – a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind…
Craig, that was brilliant. I even defeated the boss monster at the end.
Cheers for the feedback on the site… it’s almost there, but not quite. I’ve worked on keeping it CSS/XHTML valid (which it currently is), but I’ve had to chop around with the template, add a few new <div id =”xxx”> and so on. Feel free to take a look at the source and the css, but please don’t carbon copy it : )
All the content I’ve put in a fixed height ‘id’ box, so it has its own scroll bar. It’s CSS which does work over all the current browsers, but for some reason my FireFox doesn’t scroll up/down with the scroll wheel over it. I.E. does(!) Still it’s a nice new design idea. More info here:

Coming from a world of shabby HTML, CSS design is a different fish alright. Ultimately it’s much better – and WordPress makes better use of it than MT does: there’s no rebuilding pages and it’s pretty much only using one template to do the whole site.
It’s been said many times, but although I loved MT and can only thank them for the free software while it lasted, WP has been great for our site… it’s a more colourful, sophisticated and interesting than the WP front page lets on.
