Here’s my edited bit of code that seems to work for specific custom post types and custom taxonomies in case it is helpful (starts at line 748):

// if we're searching custom taxonomies
if ( $this->options['se_use_tax_search'] )
{
$post_taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies('posts');
$gallery_taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies('gallery-posts');
$nonprofit_taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies('nonprofit-posts');
$all_taxonomies = array_merge($post_taxonomies, $gallery_taxonomies, $nonprofit_taxonomies);
foreach ($all_taxonomies as $taxonomy)
{
if ($taxonomy == 'post_tag' || $taxonomy == 'category' || $taxonomy == 'gallery_tags'  || $taxonomy == 'issue_categories' || $taxonomy == 'region' || $taxonomy == 'country' || $taxonomy == 'nonprofit_tags' || $taxonomy == 'np_region' || $taxonomy == 'np_country' || $taxonomy == 'np_issue' )
continue;
$on[] = "ttax.taxonomy = '".addslashes($taxonomy)."'";
}
}

Know this is a simple fix, but double check the Users > Avatars panel settings for the upload directory and what your upload folder should be relative to.

Check your Simple Tag settings as these seem to take priority over the orders you give in your template.

Try using query_posts to loop through your posts instead: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/get_posts.

That site is being recreated, but the Flash backgrounds worked well. You can see an older iteration at http://vendor.rojistudios.com/.

I’m building a WordPress site with swf backgrounds embedded using swfobject. I’m not sure about flv’s, but the swf background was very doable– the trickiest part was just a stylesheet and embed code issue to make sure it works on all browsers.

What I have that seems to be working well…

Initialize the swfobject in the header:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo(get_bloginfo('template_directory')); ?>/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject ("flashContent","8");
</script>

Embed the flash object in the footer (with transparent wmode… I’m also detecting the WP pages to change the swf names):

<object id="flashContent" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="2000px" height="900px">
    <param name="movie" value="<?php echo(get_bloginfo('template_directory')); ?>/swfs/<?php
// can chech which page this is to change swf
?>.swf" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#464646" />
   <!--[if !IE]>-->
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="<?php // can chech which page this is to change swf
?>.swf" width="2000px" height="900px">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#464646" />
    <!--<![endif]-->
      <p>Please update your Flash Player</p>
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
    </object>
    <!--<![endif]-->
  </object>

Use CSS to position and fit swf dimensions (though I think you could do this and the embed code with percentages if you want to scale with the page):

#flashContent {
	z-index: 2;
  	position: absolute;
  	width: 2000px;
  	height: 900px;
  	top: 0;
  	left: 0;
	}

You can take a peek at the work in progress here.

Good luck!

What about combining Event Calendar 3 and TDO Mini Forms? (http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/)
