WOW! At last! Should have asked here earlier. Thanks so much! Cheers

This is regarding my post. After using WP for these past few days I wish I didn’t start this thread in the first place because the different levels of author permissions are excellent. I just didn’t know there was such a thing in the latest version. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, this forum is as helpful as always. And I mean it literally.

My post wasn’t just about the dashboard. I just used that to make a point. But I guess, after visiting the link provided, this feature has already caused quite a controversy and I’m just bringing back old topics.

Podz, I think most people feel the same way as you. We all feel WP is great and has potential, and it’s precisely for that reason I’m stressing about the ‘fatness’ before it gets out of hand. I just don’t believe in the “if you don’t use it then don’t read it” stand regarding the dashboard. And I don’t believe in not caring about new boxes clogging the editing page or any other page for that matter after each version.

Basically I’m just asking for a ‘WP-diet’ prescription plugin. It would be great if it enables you to just hide sections and boxes you don’t want it to show as opposed to completely remove them, which I guess would be easier to implement. This would be great for those who want more features and those who rather keep it light looking. Also, it would give WP an edge against the upcoming Ruby on Rails and AJAX based Web 2.0 CMSs. eg. RadiantCMS, Typo and ModxCMS among many others.

I just think having a straight-forward way to edit and update different templates is almost a necessity. You would most likely need a different way to present information for past posts or individual posts.
Plus, it would be a great way for other bloggers to adopt WP more easily and thus increase its popularity.
I tried doing a project with WP but I realised I was spending too much time with hacks and plug-ings to make it work like MT, something that a lot of people are trying to do even if they never used it before. And I think this is because it’s just how you present information on the web.

This is why I like WP. Its members are just plain helpful ??

hmm.. I don’t quite understand, care to explain your method?

this will come in handy ??

Mine is under the “forbidden” folder and I can’t get it to work with Faked Folders plug-in. I’m running XAMPP Windows version (https://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) as my local server for web development and testing purposes. It has an automatic installation script for WP.
Anyways, there’s a readme for the .htaccess file with the following instructions but I don’t a clue:
README mod_auth_remote ( Apache 2.0 authentication module )
This module is a very simple, lightweight method of setting up a single signon
system across multiple web-applicaitions hosted on different servers.
The actual authentication & authorization system is deployed on a single server
instead of each individual server. All other servers are built with
mod_auth_remote enabled. When a request comes in, mod_auth_remote obtains the
client username & password from the client via basic authentication scheme.
It then builds a HTTP header with authorization header built from the client’s
userid:passwd. mod_auth_remote then makes a HEAD request to the authentication
server. On reciept of a 2XX response, the client is validated; for all other
responses the client is not validated.
Why I wrote mod_auth_remote ?
I have a bunch of web applications running on a bunch of machines …
1) My authentication code is heavy & I don’t want to implement it on all
of your servers. (I use mod_perl and require a Database access to
authenticate)
2) Most of my web applications use a single signon
3) Two different applications running under the same server could access 2
different authentication models without any pain
— ok, no more marketing ?? ——
I enabled mod_auth_remote on my httpd like this …
1) cp mod_auth_remote.c modules/experimental/mod_auth_remote.c
2) apply patch ‘auth_remote.patch’ on ‘configure’ script.
3) ./configure –disable-auth –enable-auth_remote
‘httpd -l’ should show mod_auth_remote.c

My conf file looks like …
<Directory ~ “/application_1/”>
AuthType Basic
AuthName CHICKEN_RUN
AuthRemoteServer auth1.saju.com
AuthRemotePort 80
AuthRemoteURL /One/Auth/method
require valid-user
</Directory>
<Directory ~ “/application_2/”>
AuthType Basic
AuthName BIG-CHIEF
AuthRemoteServer auth1.saju.com
AuthRemotePort 80
AuthRemoteURL /luke/takes/a/walk
require valid-user
</Directory>
<Directory ~ “/application_3/”>
AuthType Basic
AuthName ONE_RING
AuthRemoteServer sauron.saju.com
AuthRemotePort 80
AuthRemoteURL /auth
require valid-user
</Directory>

It’s ok I found it ??

What about grabbing the RSS feed or something like that?

thanks

I’ve included the code but my subcategories don’t show. I don’t have no idea of PHP but I created a file named my-hack.php and included your code with enclosing <?php and ?> tags. Then placed it in the wp-includes folder.

Well, probably you could if use some sort of cookies to remember the state but that’s just my two cents.
Does anyone suggest a good menu that’s able to display categories, sub categories and sub sub categories? Even if it’s a fly-out menu, as long as you can use it with WP.

That’s not a bad one at all. Is it possible to make it stay once it has expanded?

Don’t worry thanks anways. I’ll just hold my luck a bit longer, probably someone will come a long with a working solution. Else I might resort to flying menus
