Tried to follow the guide as documented in Reporting Bugs, submitted a TRAC (!) ticket, assigned it to myself, created a patch file with this fix and marked the ticket “has_patch” and finally changed status to Fixed.

Hope somebody will review and approve soon ??

In includes/post.php you will find the following chunk of code beginning in line 2190 :

(At least in WordPress version 2.7.1 you will – line numbers may vary for other versions)

if ( !empty($exclude_tree) ) {
$exclude = array();

$exclude = (int) $exclude_tree;
$children = get_page_children($exclude, $pages);
$excludes = array();
foreach ( $children as $child )
$excludes[] = $child->ID;
$excludes[] = $exclude;
$total = count($pages);
for ( $i = 0; $i < $total; $i++ ) {
if ( in_array($pages[$i]->ID, $excludes) )
unset($pages[$i]);
}
}

The problem is that the exclude_tree argument is not handled like a list of parameters, but merely as a single integer argument. I learned this after trying to build a menu for ttu.no by excluding a number of chapters, that should not go on the front page. Well, I got a nice surprise when even my elaborate exclude list only worked on the first section and my menu totally filled the front page.

But I found the problem, and have a solution – by updating the code as below, everything will work as expected:

if ( !empty($exclude_tree) ) {
$exclude = array();

$exclude = explode(‘,’,$exclude_tree);
foreach ($exclude as $exclude_page) {
$children = get_page_children($exclude_page, $pages);
$excludes = array();
foreach ( $children as $child )
$excludes[] = $child->ID;
$excludes[] = $exclude_page;
$total = count($pages);
for ( $i = 0; $i < $total; $i++ ) {
if ( in_array($pages[$i]->ID, $excludes) )
unset($pages[$i]);
}
}
}

Now, this is my first “real” contribution to the open source world – I wish I knew how to use TRAQ, so I could fix this directly in the repository as well ??

Please send me a pointer if you know how to work with the TRAQ system.

Kind regards

Not sure if you have discovered this yet, but as I started looking at phpBB3 myself yesterday, I had the same problem until after running the install script with a fully qualified url: https://www.websitename.com/phpbb/install.php

Remember that after configuring everything during the next few pages, you will have to remove the install directory as well. That is delete the https://www.websitename.com/phpbb/install directory – otherwise you will not be able to see anything other than the phpBB admin interface.

Hope this helps – there is a lot of very qualified support info on the phpBB pages if you need more ??

Just tried it. This works out of the box – thanks to cogo

If I understand this one correctly, I think I might have something you can use.

Have a look here: https://brams.dk/technotes/wordpress/my-first-plugin/

I used it to list related pages in the margin, but you can put it to use anywhere on your pages.

Hope this helps
Kind regards

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I built a similar system for my static pages some time ago.

See this link: <https://brams.dk/technotes/wordpress/my-first-plugin/&gt; – you should find explanation in the php file as well.

Kind regards

I don’t know it this will help, but I have documented how I managed this in an article here:

https://brams.dk/2005/05/18/building-a-member-site/

Works just fine – especially when combined with a customized fronpage on the admin interface.

I have done this for my local Taekwondo Club website. It’s really not a lot you will have to do and I have tried to be very specific documenting.

See the step by step instruction at :

https://brams.dk/2005/05/18/building-a-member-site/

Hope this is useful.

wp-useronline is using get_onlineuserinfo() and causing trouble.

More background here: https://brams.dk/wordpress/2005/05/09/wordpress-151-upgrade/

After disabling the troublesome plugin that was calling get_currentuserinfo() the upgrade went just fine.

Looks great – thanks for all the hard work and for making sure that you reminded all of us to back up the existing tables as step 1 in the upgrade guide

??

I am confident that there is a severe compatibility problem with the wp_list_user plugin. I have rolled back to 1.5 to disable this and attempt to upgrade again.

Sorry for the panic – it’s not the kind of surprise I was expecting just before going to bed (It’s 2 mins past midnight here in Denmark).

Sh*t!

My website just doesn’t work anymore after the upgrade. I cannot even login to the admin part. It looked so promising, but there must have been some compatability issue with wp_users_online that I used.

That is probably the most disappointing upgrade I have ever made.

The error message is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_currentuserinfo() in /customers/brams.dk/brams.dk/httpd.www/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php on line 169

Let me know if there is anything I can do to avoid starting from scratch again.

I have made a small plugin recently that works for me re this functionality that I hope you can use.

It’s available here:

Hi MichelFortin,

I just tried deslecting the option as you suggested, and it works like a dream.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction ??

I am familiar with the syntax above, but really lazy. And now that a nice shorthand for writing a clickable email address in Markdown exist, I really want to use it. This is the feature called called “Autolink”.

If you type <[email protected]> it will be translated to the line you typed out for me above – except it is clever enough to encode the entire mailto address in an attempt to block address harvesting.

Nice and fast – I really like it. And it works if you call it directly in a php script, but in the edit panel inside wp, this exact feature unfortunately fails.

but thanks anyway.
