HTT

Anyone?

Hi the_dead_one

I had a test of your form on the first site you linked to, great work but not quite what I’m looking for but I’d be more than interested in a form that allows non registered blog users to write an article, press send, it goes to my wordpress admin and I have the option of approvaing or not approving, and sending it to any categories I so choose to, if that can be done. Ideally an option to notify the writer of the article if its been accepted and a link to it would be great too.

I could see such a plugin being a massive hit.

I could create a better demo of what I have in mind if you want?

Cheers

That’s what I’m gonna do with all plugins that don’t work. I’ll post up if things change for the better so as to help others who maybe experiencing the same things after a server move or such.

Went with almost “almost pretty” for now.

Moshu, yep removed it.

Handysolo, this is what my htaccess file in my root says:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule x.html y.html
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

There is another htaccess file that says:

#AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /x.html /y.html

That one is called .htaccess-

???

Its a free website but you need to be registered and logged in to read it, sorry I forgot to mention that as I’m always logged in so forgot about their recent changes. Its free though although it does have a VIP area that isn’t free but that’s one section, they have over 20 sections from search engines to blogs to domain names. You should register if not already as its the number one webmaster community on the web, they are all great guys and there are regular WordPress threads with some great solutions posted by members to problems, especially of a search engine nature.

The infor inside is very valuable as these guys know what they’re talking about, they have reps from Google who are members, people from Yahoo, Blogger etc.

Opening post is asking about duplicate WordPress content and Google, whether it will effect rankings and count as a penalty. Others are sharing experience of being penalised and others are showing what they do with code examples of how to get around the indexing of duplicate content etc. Very informative thread.

PS Thanks for moving it.

Hmm, my current settings in “Options”, “General” are:

WordPress address (URI): My full domain name
Blog address (URI): My full domain name

Now if I change the Blog address URI to this: http://www.newcastle-online.com/index.php

And then go to “Permalinks” in “Options” and set it to this: “Date and name based”

My Permalink structure looks like this: http://www.newcastle-online.com/index.php/2006/10/21/sample-post/

But when I press Update a blue warning says: You should update your .htaccess now.

And at the bottom the following is printed out:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /index.php/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

What do I do?

That is the structure I want but without the index.php bit in so it just does this instead: http://www.newcastle-online.com/2006/10/21/sample-post/

Yeah it can be done that way I know and it will probably be easier from a backend point of view but my users sometimes send in 1,000 e-mails a week to be published, this can range from 800 words to a few lines. My site is all about providing users with a platform to have their say, for free, 24-7 and with less fuss and hassle to them as possible.

I have a forum, the comment on posts and articles feature that comes with WordPress and a letters column which I do by hand. The letters column is very popular because its simple, unobtrusive and flexible for my userbase which usually logon during work hours or at college/university and like to take a break by writing a few lines into the site.

For article writers I always contact them and tell them to just e-mail me from now on instead of using forms on the site and they do, but I want to automate it all.

I’ll have a play with the suggestions posted in reply, see how my users take to it. I’d still love something like I’ve shown in the example though.

Anyway thanks for your feedback fellas.

With WordPress you feel like it can do anything, well I do and I’m a frustrated person because I lack the skills to do plugins and mess about with code too much yet I have hundreds of ideas on how to improve WordPress and what would be good for it based on my own site, my readers and how I run the site.

We have over 30 trusted writers, and thousands of readers who literally all want to talk about what the site is dedicated to, whether it be via a forum, commenting on an article or just writing in. For me WordPress is the best solution I’ve found for this and works a treat, but I’m kind of lloking for a solution that gives everyone the best of all worlds I guess.

Have to say I love WP and the support on here is fantastic.
