In reply to: Why are the svn commit message sent as pure HTML E-mail?Whitelisting is not terribly useful. I bounce pure HTML E-Mail that gets past the spam filter, since there is no real point since I don’t have or use a HTML capable E-Mail client.

In reply to: Timeout while trying to update WPOK, I edited wp-admin/includes/file.php and increased the timeout there from 300 to 1000 and got this error:

`It looks there are *two* things wrong with ww.wp.xz.cn:
1) It has a download timeout
2) It does not send a ‘content-length:’ header!I can actually live with the download timeout, so long as there is a content-length header — wget can deal with this.
I had to download wordpress-3.2.zip on a different machine (with a faster internet connection) and then transfer the file from there to the machine with the slow internet connection…

In reply to: Anoying Firefox update message — why?And what exactly is the ‘.0001%’ that the Dashboard needs that FF 3.6.18 lacks? Aside from Headspace2’s JQuery problems, the Dashboard seems to work just fine with FF 3.6.18? What is missing? Is it real functionality or just ‘cosmetic’?

In reply to: Anoying Firefox update message — why?Well, if the patrons of the Wendell Free Library are ‘average users’, then they seem to not have any real problems using (diskless) workstations running CentOS 5.6 and Firefox 3.6.18. Any this includes the library’s head librarian / director (who is certainly not a ‘Linux geek’). I am not entirely convinced that CentOS 5.6 makes for a poor desktop or even laptop environment. I do have various multi-media add-ons installed (pulled from the EPel and RPMForge repos), not that they are really used much. Most people seem to just use Firefox and OO. With a current version of Java (from Sun/Oracle), even the teens are happy to run RuneScape without problems (at least on the machines with Intel video chips).

In reply to: Anoying Firefox update message — why?CentOS works just fine, not only on my desktop, but also on my laptop (an IBM Thinkpad X31), wireless and all.
I have been using Linux on both desktops and laptops (in addition to servers of course) since the early 90s. *I* have never used any version of MS-Windows. So I take it the Firefox nag is mostly a MS-Windows issue.
I presume that there will likely be an update for Headspace2 SEO to fix the JavaScript issue.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Anoying Firefox update message — why?No, the browser on on my home system, which is a Linux machine running CentOS 5.6. I am using the stock distributed browser, which is FF 3.6.18 (I have the most current update).
The problem *I* was having was that Headspace2 SEO breaks the JavaScript on the home page of the Dashboard. Disactivating Headspace2 allowed by to dismis the nag.
I would still like an explaination of the purpose of this nag.

In reply to: Strange behaviour of add_submenu_page() / add_menu_page()Found the problem: it seems that using add_action(‘_admin_menu’ …) is not the right thing to do, changing it to add_action(‘admin_menu’ …) solves the problem. Weird… The example code I was looking at used add_action(‘_admin_menu’ …), but now I suspect that the example code is wrong on some level (there are other things wrong with it as well).

In reply to: Strange behaviour of add_submenu_page() / add_menu_page()BTW: I am using WP 3.1.2 on a 64-bit (x86_64) Linux machine (CentOS 5.6, httpd-2.2.3-45.el5.centos.1, php-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3, mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.5).

In reply to: Admin bar missing on front side pagesFixed! I add added wp_footer to my footer.php and it works now. Thanks!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Admin bar missing on front side pagesI switched to Twenty Ten theme and the admin bar shows up. Obviously there is something wrong in my theme code. What should I be looking for? I searched the code (both the .php files and the .css files) of some other themes on other sites I manage (they all use ‘stock’ public themes) where the admin bar is working and it doesn’t *look* like anything is missing (I did a few fixes to match the other themes’ header.php files (class for the body tag, use/ordering of the various header… divs, etc.), but that did not help. I fiddled with the style.css file, in case something there was being fishy, but no help there either.

In reply to: Underscore inserted into ‘media’ file name?It also does it to mumble.ps.gz files. But it does NOT do it to mumble.pdf.gz files. Is this some ‘security’ (?) hack to protect from executing certain kinds of (script?) files? If some it is really lame…

In reply to: Image Gallery Suitable for program screenshotsAfter a bit of fumbling about I found it. It is real pain to use and does not really do what I want to do. I think I will just hand code something. For me, that is quicker.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Image Gallery Suitable for program screenshots“Have you looked that the native gallery within WordPress itself?”
How does that work? I don’t see anything on the dashboard for a gallery.

In reply to: Download Documentation in PDF format*I’d* just be happy to download a HTML version in a tarball or zipfile. I have a slow and unreliable dialup connection and I am working on coding a theme for my company site (on an off-line server) and reading the documenation ‘on-line’ is really a pain.
