This page is also a top hit in google — if the answer’s somewhere else on www.ads-software.com, then please post a link for us. I’d like this feature so I can have link to pages, plus a link to /gallery (with zenphoto installed in that folder) all in one menu

It does seem to me that a “Disable All Comments” setting (that does all of this for you) would be quite a nice feature to have somewhere in the Site Admin.

(it might want to have a sub-feature of “Leave Current Comments Visible”)

I think this is how you’d do it (without hacking the template so that the comment stuff just doesn’t even appear).

• Site Admin > Options > Discussion
• Uncheck “Allow people to post comments on the article” (and probably “Allow link notifications …”)

• Site Admin > Options > General
• Uncheck “Anyone can register” and check “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”

I really appreciate all the suggestions.

I don’t have wp-comments.php, and I’ve been changing wp.php (not index.php) … but I found some code in comments.php and added it to wp.php and then to index.php with no errors but also no comments.

I think I’ll either (a) give up or (b) try upgrading and then adding the ajax comments plugin and just click on each of them, then save the whole thing. I see if anyone replies with one more thing to try in the next half day or so. I’m thinking that I’ve just changed too much already, so you’d really either have to carefully read the other topic, or look at all of my code.

Once again, thanks!

I tried looking at the code, and still didn’t know which lines to steal. I also tried installing, but got errors again.

I’m back to jkeyes first request. Just a few lines of code to put (in wp.php or index.php ??) that tells it to display comments.

Thanks!

Ok, so I poured over the code, and couldn’t figure it out. I even tried installing it, but (maybe because I’m still at 1.5, I think) it gave me an error instead of appearing the comment when I clicked “show comment”

So, (since my topic has long been locked) maybe someone can help me out. I really just want code to put in wp.php … if you can, please read through my old thread for background on what works so far.

The two changes I made were replacing the_content and replacing `<?php
// This is an example of a very simple template
require_once(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>`

to this:

<?php
// This is an example of a very simple template
require_once('./wp-blog-header.php');
query_posts('posts_per_page=-1');
$wp_query->is_single = true;
?>

I want to know the code to put into wp.php also. I need it for the final part of my (very old) request:
Entire Blog all in one page?

I just finally got enough time to try the code, and it works, but doesn’t show the comments, just a link to them.

So, essentially, I’m looking for exactly what jkeyes is.

I’m going to download and look at the source of the ajax thing, but if anyone who really knows what they’re doing would post the code first, that’d make me ??

It would be nice to see the original plugin updated for 1.5 (since it doesn’t say if it is tested for 1.5, just 1.2).

Also, it would be nice if there was an easier install of the plugin.

Also, it would be nice if when the plugin is installed if it would change the formatting buttons above the post form from the html to bbcode AND if that toolbar was shown above the comment post form as well.

I really think bbcode is easier for people to use and it would be nice to have a very step-by-step instructions on how to completely convert WordPress from html markup in posts and comments to bbcode.

I see bits and pieces of the solution I want strewn throughout this forum and the web, but I just don’t have time to hack it all together and post up instructions.

MattRead,

I did that and it does most of what I want.

Unfortunately it doesn’t show what’s after the “more”, just a link which says more.

I want to show the entire post, not just up-to-the-‘more’

(also it would be nice to not have the form entries under each post, but I can easily remove those once I download the file)

more help would be greatly appreciated

thank you!!

TechGnome — thanks for the optimistic news. I totally don’t mind if the posts go in the other order — that part was merely a preference.

The most important parts are getting all the posts, their dates and authors, and the comments with their dates and authors.

As long as they are in order, I don’t mind whether newest or oldest comes first.

Thanks!!

Am I leaving out some information which would help someone to code this page for me?

Thank you ??

I woke up and realized that I can state a possible, human-readable version of the code I’m looking for.

for each entry: {
      write the title of the entry*
      write the date and the author
      write the entry
      write the word comments
            for each comment: {
                  write the date and author
                  write the comment
            }
}

* (as an h1, h2, or h3 — or with an id or class — so I can put a border-top on it with CSS)

I don’t think I really care about keeping all the fancy formatting, so I’d at least just like it to spit out all the entries and comments, and I think that this would do it (if translated to php).

> Why …?

I am blogging on it with a couple other people I am taking a class with. They can’t use the db, itself.

I did crawl the blog with winhttrack, and zipped it for them to download, but even unzipping is something they’re not familiar with. I want to give them just one long html file, so that it’s just one file to download, and everything is in there.

As for your suggestion to put the number of posts to show at “200 or whatever”, that won’t show the comments (if I understand what you’re saying to do).

As for using the browser’s “File > Save As…”, that’s what I’m planning to use after I have someone tell me what to put in the php file I requested.

So … I’d still really like to know the php code to output all posts and all comments in order on one page.

Thank you ??

oops, the other way around

(and that mdash is actually a character entity “& mdash ;” not the character itself)

I put <small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>

at line 40 of archive.php

where it originally said <small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?> — by <?php the_author() ?></small>

and it worked perfectly — thanks!
