And I didn’t mean to sound upset – I’m not, just trying to be as clear as possible.

I understand… and now I know precisely where the problem is.
You think giving people lower permissions is punishment.

I think it’s accident prevention.

Look, I know you’re trying to be helpful, but you’re assuming that this is a decision that’s mine to make. It’s an organization where the powers that be want admin access because they’re the bosses. I don’t get to make that decision.

What I do get is the phone call saying “Hey, what happened?”

So, any thoughts on tracking down what happened?

Nevermind, I figured out a solution – just a brute force comparison to the URL:

<?php

$url_test = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if($url_test == "/index.php" || $url_test == "/CMS/index.php"){
	include('tiles_front.inc.php');
} else {
	include('tiles_default.inc.php');
}	

?>

While testing, just echo the value of $url_test in your sidebar, then you can make an endless series of elseifs to create separate sidebars for any specific page or post, including the front page.

wpcast, that’s now showing the homepage include on every page, not just the home page …

GRR! Thanks so much for helping with this … I’m really grateful.

I feel like that’s getting close, but now it’s recognizing every page as the front page. Our WP install exists within a subdirectory called CMS, so the home page is http://www.mydomain.com/CMS. When I test for if $url_vars[2} == CMS, it returns true no matter what page I’m on.

I’ve tried this:

<?php

$url_vars = explode("/",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

if($url_vars[2] == "/CMS" || $url_vars[3] == ""){
	include('tiles_front.inc.php');
} else {
	include('tiles_default.inc.php');
}	

?>

but that fails too, returning the tiles_front include for every page and post on the site.

We’re running 2.2.2 for a very specific reason: we had to hack the get_calendar component (via a plugin, not modifying core code) so that it would only display posts from a single category. Couldn’t figure out any other way to do it … and as I understand it, there were fundamental changes in the way 2.3 handles categories that would make the calendar inoperable.

OK, I’m missing something obvious here … here’s my code, which is returning none of the category descriptions:

<ul>
<?php $myquery = $wp_query; ?>
<?php query_posts('cat=6,8,10,12,14&showposts=5');
while (have_posts()) : the_post() ?>
<li>
<?php $cats = get_the_category();
foreach ($cats as $cat) {echo $cat->description; } ?>: <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php _e(''); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

Any thoughts?

Just the basics – products, shopping cart, etc. Obviously advanced features like user reviews/ratings would be nice.

I’m familiar with CubeCart, so I guess that’s a feature set similar to what I’d like. I just wish such a thing existed that was integrated into WP (single administration login, tighter template control, etc.).
