syncbox

To echo maorb, is there a current release of this plugin? I love the get_custom plugin from coffeetocode (it’s my #1 fav) but am always looking for plugins that make using WordPress as a CMS better….

put me on your list for being willing to beta test it. please!

I totally agree with the flag idea. It was posted in the Ideas section for a function for Ideas – to control the spam that seems to now appear there regularly. It would be an awesome addition to the plugins section, too, but you say, the “What Others Are Saying” comments help immensely to determine if you want to install a particular plugin BEFORE doing it. I have taken to using that as a major part of my evaluation of a plugin before installing.

VOTE… it DOES make a difference

create a page template. Read about it in the Documentation here:

http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Pages

basically, there’s a comment at the top of a page template that provides a name for the template. Once uploaded, these will appear in the Page Template menu in the Create New Page and Edit Page admin pages. Or, you can select the page template in the quick edit area of the Page list.

Does ANYONE charge for it? Never seen it cost to get WordPress

yep, me too. wp.syncbox.com

same failure, same “not found” link on the “download manually” button

2.8.4 install with only Revision Control installed (hate those revisions)

But regarding the switch… this article by the plugin author

http://westi.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/making-it-easy-to-be-a-wordpress-tester/

doesn’t indicate the problem or make any suggestion on what SHOULD be done, except it seems to suggest using the stable releases…

I’d suggest using the post ID rather than the name/slug for conditional logic… who knows? You might change the name or slug.

That said, if you are using Pages and sub-pages, consider using logic with is_tree(#) where the number is the post id of the parent Page… you’ll have to read this:

http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Conditional_Tags
(snippet #4)

and add the function to your functions.php file or to the wp-includes/functions.php file (which would make it custom and you’d have to track that in upgrades)

function is_tree($pid) {      // $pid = The ID of the page we're looking for pages underneath
	global $post;         // load details about this page
	if(is_page()&&($post->post_parent==$pid||is_page($pid)))
               return true;   // we're at the page or at a sub page
	else
               return false;  // we're elsewhere
};

example:
you can put this directly into the image tag for the header image… eg:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/whateverfolderyouareusing/<?php if (is_tree('1')) {echo 'frog';} elseif (is_tree('2')) {echo dog'; } else {echo 'default';} ?>.jpg />

if that makes sense to you… where 1 and 2 are the appropriate id numbers for the Pages in question and of course, you can have as many elseifs as you need…

You can use the same logic with (is_page(#)) and even build arrays if (is_page(#) || is_page(#) || is_page(#)) {

or go from is_tree to is_page to is_category to is_front_page and so on.

The beauty of is_tree() is that it only affects the direct child-pages of the parent, not deeper, which is very cool, imo.

Hope that helps. I don’t know about $hdrimg either, but will look into it to expand my skill set.

Just for grins, try

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=2,3,7,9,11'); ?>

see if that changes anything… it shouldn’t, but it might – I’ve never listed the pages to include in anything except ascending order and all the examples show it that way. It shouldn’t matter, but maybe it does. And of course, we’re all assuming you have those post/page IDs.

How about a URL to the site? Maybe it shows up when someone other than yourself looks? Have you tried in other browsers?
