In reply to: permalinks turned on cause comments field to disappearYosemite and Moshu, thanks for the replies. Moshu you were spot on. You have no idea how long I struggled with this and searched everywhere for an answer before posting here.
The problem in this case was that my permalink structure only included date tags.
Evidentally WordPress needs a little more info in the permalink structure to work properly. If I change the structure to include the post title or id, then comment fields work again. Superb! Thank you! The structure looks a little funny (redundant) since I always title my posts with the date, but what the heck, close enough. Resolved.

In reply to: Having problems with CommentsI think I’ve been having a similar problem. At least my site (slipperyamoeba.com) looks the same when you click on the comments link on the main blog page.
Previously this was working fine for me. You’d click on the comments link and it would take you to comments page with fields you could input name/email/comments. Now however, the comments page doesn’t display these fields. Just the blog entry comes up.
I haven’t changed anything recently except for getting CG-Whattunes working on my site.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayDavid, thanks. I used your first suggestion and edited this line in tracktunes.php
$playdate = date(‘d M h:i a’/*”F j, Y, g:i a”*/, $song[‘playtime’]);
Much better. Yeah, that’s what I was guessing for the timezone fix. I actually had it configured wrongly as -0500 in my WordPress options and changed it to -0400 but it didn’t update on anything having to do with Whattunes. That was why I asked. Not really a huge deal though. I think that about wraps it up for me. Thanks for everything guys!

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayGood stuff. Thanks again guys! Slowly getting there:

Two questions:
1. Where do I look to change the date string (what file)?
2. How do I change my default time zone (I’m currently at -0500 and would like to change to -0400)?

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayBeel, thanks for the code! Is there a way to edit the appearance of the table it produces? You can see my mess here:

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayBeel, if you’re still in the neighborhood, I really like your trackhistory.php page (page showing last 20 songs played). I’m guessing you somehow pulled the code from WordPress Tunes admin page. If this is the case, would you mind telling me where I should look to find this and if this was a tricky thing to do? Thanks in advance!

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayDavid, don’t worry about the popup link text if it’s going to be a hassle. I honestly can’t imagine too many other people actually being interested in playing around with this. I’m just sort of a sucker for a simple looking design and was looking for a way to tuck away the song info without actually having it take up space on my sidebar. Definitely not a big deal. Thanks for looking into it though.

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayOK, really, the questions never end I suppose. If no Amazon album image is available is there any option to call a designated “no artwork/image” image? If not, no biggie. Just wondering if I’m missing something.

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayThanks for the great service David. I think you’ve hooked me into using your powerpack for as long as it’s around. Good stuff, even for someone like me who’s just bumbling his way through the code.
What exactly are the advantages of an embedded, live amazon link within the text? Or, I suppose, what is the difference between that and what I have now?

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayOk, solved the xhtml error. It was my fault. I had the above function enclosed in my own set of [li]’s. I took these out and the problem disappeared.
Last question (I’m pretty sure!)
Currently when you mouseover the album image the popup text displays (album name @ AMAZON). Do you know where I would look to change the popup text to (song name, album, artist @ AMAZON)?

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayBeel, I tried your above posted function and it still gave me an xhtml error, BUT along with that it also solved about three different layout glitches I was fighting with. Much, much better. Great tip! I am definitely going with your setup.

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayOnce again, thank you both Beel and David for all you help. There really is absolutely no way I could have figured any of this out by myself. A few more questions that seem like they should be straight forward but I can’t figure them out.
1. Is there a way to move the date/time the song was played underneath the album cover image?
2. How do I change the border color around the album cover image?
3. In Firefox the album cover image, song title, etc are jogged to the right underneath the “Now Playing” title, but not in IE. I think this is somehow my doing as I also get an error having to do with a
[li] when I try to WC3 validate my page. Is there a simple way to nudge these back left in Firefox?Again many thanks!

In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayGreat! Thanks David for the detailed reply. That works great for displaying the date/time on my site. I like how configurable that is too (for example changing the “r” value to a different http://us2.php.net/date value).
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayBeel thanks again for the reply. I was able to fix the mouseover thing by changing the background attribute in the following to none (or white would also work for my page).
.amazon-item-wrap a:hover
{
background: none;
}Silly question, but, where (what file) do I find “getWhatsPlaying(true, true)?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: CG-Whattunes displayTwo more questions:
1. When you mouseover the album image its border changes to blue, which is fine, but the goofy looking thing is that the border extends way out to the right on the mouseover (in firefox) or to the right and below (in explorer). Is there a way either get rid of this effect completely or to not have the border extend to far out (so, just highlight the image and not the surrounding text which is what I assume it’s trying to do) ?
2. Is there a way to display the time the last song was played?
Thanks again for all you help?
