In reply to: Comments form available only to Authors?I figured something out by copying from the Kubrick theme. Put
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>before the part you want hidden from visitors, and<?php endif; ?>after.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Popularity Contest 1.1I posted this in the thread for 1.0, and I’m posting it here too, in case no one reads that old thread anymore:
I would love to calculate popularity of posts by manual voting, such as a button for every post that says “Flag for ‘Best Of'”. Could you add manual voting to the popularity criteria?
So how about it? I’ve tried another tack, but it wasn’t successful. I think having vote/flag buttons in Popularity Contest would be very elegant.
Thanks for the plugin!

In reply to: “Star” (Favorite Mark or Vote) Posts plugin?The closest I found was using the hosted service, internationalvoting.com and the following input:
<input type="hidden" name="owntext" value="<a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>'><?php the_title('', '', TRUE); ?></a> by <?php the_author_nickname(); ?> (<?php the_date('m/j/y', '', '', TRUE); ?>)">but the poll script quickly erases the html-containing vote. I wrote the poll maker and asked if html can be in an entry. I will post again to this forum topic when I get an answer.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Chuck-a-Wobbly, img float, & IE Don’t Get AlongA nice fella from the internet offerred this advice that worked:
Nope, IE is not sespecting your height on #head, and since
you decided to align the BG in it to the bottom and also have
a BG color on it for some reason, that the problem.background: #A0BFD8 url(“hat.gif”) no-repeat bottom center;
Just remove the color, and set the BG image to the top:
background: url(“hat.gif”) no-repeat top center;
There’s also a float drop in IE, but I will leave that
to you as an exercise.For the float drop problem, I added
display: inline;and a padding value to the div.entry within* htmltags only IE interprets. But really, it’s better in Firefox, Safari, or Opera.Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: Code on page with non-Kubrick themesI tried reinstalling, so here is the code I deleted that was repeated at the end of wp-config:
-settings.php');Any ideas?

In reply to: Code on page with non-Kubrick themesSure, the URL is http://www.fictionalpeople.com
I can’t find the part of wp-config I deleted, but the very last part was repeated. I replaced them with original wp-config, but the problem remains.
Actually, I would swap that last point for a graphical representation of the poll data, like a bar graph for the different posts on the blog.

In reply to: “Star” (Favorite Mark or Vote) Posts plugin?I guess what I would like best is to incorporate a poll script into The Loop so that when someone hits a button that’s available with each post, a poll script interprets that as a vote for that post. I would like to see which posts are most popular by active voting rather than view statistics.
Does anyone know a poll script that could be modified into The Loop so that current post information becomes a hidden input for a poll form? I was thinking that it would be something like
<input type="hidden" name="vote" value="<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a> by <?php the_author_nickname(); ?> on <?php the_date(); ?>">placed into the loop with an<input>tag for a submit button and all between<form>tags. Is there a poll script or plugin that could take input like this?I was looking for a vote-for-this-post plugin, but there are a few things I wish were different:
- that it would work on pages with multiple posts
- that it would store the data locally and not go to another site)
- that it would automatically notify the author of the post that his/her post was voted for
