What was the program you ran your old blog with? Also WordPress? or something else? (is there anything else ?? )

From other programs to wordpress could be tricky.
From other categories to wordpress categories require a few steps, but should be doable.

Additionally, there is also an unreleased plugin in the works

But maybe it’s a commercial plugin, we’ll have to see once it’s released.

Remember, it’s the same plugin ??
It’s an 8 as implementation (I never give out 10’s ?? )

Let us know when you’re using the basket widget, b/c it might break the template a bit (that’s why it’s no a 9 but an 8)

Maybe I’m jumping the gun, but it broke my template.
Fixed it really simply though, removed a </div> and it was fixed.

You’re right. Unfortunately I don’t have the solution and I don’t know whether it will be developed in future versions of wordpress. However a google search for wordpress +”user plugin” gave me a couple of links (ignore the WordPress MU links for now…)

I know it’s not much, but maybe they push you in the direction of what you need.
I’m also thinking of suggesting to have you combine a forum with wordpress and in that way you can see some of the features you prefer. Of course you don’t have to activate / use the forum, but you can see stuff like registration date, user IP in the user information.

Maybe that helps ??

Yes you can, I did the same the other day and it worked like a charm

I have the following urls for you:
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-e-commerce/
is same as
https://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce

Are you using so-called widgets on your site?

There’s a problem with text-align:center and margins, can’t remember what it was, sorry ??
But maybe a google search might push you in the right direction.

I myself was thinking of doing something similar
A wrapper around wp-db.php would be perfect or something of that nature.
On my other sites I wrap the queries like so:

DB-Wrapper.php
DB_Query($sql)
{
if(!validsql)
{
return ErrorHandler($errormessage);
}
else
{
return dBQuery($sql)
}
}
dbQuery() is located in DB-MySQL.php
(so that would probably be wp-db.php then)

Don’t know how MDB2 is functioning though, could look into it.
PDO is for PHP5, maybe something PHP4 compatible is possible too?

I see what you mean. The error is:

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM

but the problem is, that the cause of the error is not shown.
Check your admin section to see if your categories are ok (if you have them) (I’m guessing you have them since the query asks for cat_id and cat_name)

Same goes for some titles that have ‘or " in them, same for categories that have 'or ” in them.

That’s it for now ??

The message that WordPress gives comes from the function select($db) in the wp-db.php file.

It handles the standard mysql_select_db function. There is one advantage. They escape the error message that PHP / MySQL give by appending the @ in front of the function (at least, my version of WordPress does that)

Advice is to:
open
wp-db.php
find
if (!@mysql_select_db($db, $this->dbh)) { (line 90)
replace with
if (!mysql_select_db($db, $this->dbh)) { (line 90)

Hopefully mysql will give you a more precize error message. But you should really double check if the database wp_wrdp1 exists.
