http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 08 Mar 2008 18:24:02 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just fixed an error in a foreach() call in the new jwr_show_tags() function in Squible's wp_cats_as_tags(). Turns out that, for unknown reasons, the old implementation would barf when it saw a post without any tags, when get_the_tags() returned an empty list. Thanks to the examples described here, I'm ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/07/fixed-error-in-tag-listing/ edited built-in tag cloud font range by directly editing wp_tag_cloud() using CTC4.1 plugin widget, not built-in WP2.3 tag cloud using old niftybox code (grey box) instead of tabbed niftybox in Squible-beta2 edited squible's style.css to remove redundant "float:right" from the div#nifty entry added new function jwr_show_tags() to wp_cats_as_tags.php to call actual tags instead of ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/06/changelog/ Now currently testing CTC4.1, the "Configurable Tag Cloud", which extends WP2.3's built-in tag functionality. One of the best features, in my opinion, is that it's able to display both tags and cats at the same time. This might help migration to an all-tag approach. For Squible, now ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/06/ctc-baby/ Overall control over the Tag Cloud widget built-in to WP2.3 is wp_tag_cloud() located in /wp-includes/category-template.php. Remember that; it was hard to find the first time. http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/06/aha-2/ Okay. Apparently, Squible-beta2 allows you to exclude category IDs from the front-page post slug area, which is useful for keeping "Asides" where they belong. However, if you're excluding Asides in this way, the most recent post is an Aside, and you're only showing 1 post on the front ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/05/theres-more/ Okay, so here's a problem: the Tag Cloud on the main page is populated by actual tags, while the Squible show_tags() function on the single-post page shows cats as tags (since it only runs when wp_cats_as_tags is activated, duh). Sort that one out, why don't you? This post, ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/05/aha/ Well, I'm trying yet again to get this Squible-themed site working well. Squible seems to be "down for the count", so to speak, as far as support goes. Nevertheless, I like it. Currently, I'm wrestling with bringing it into the current WP2.3 era, meaning that I have ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/05/a-new-post/ I've written previously on the attendant trials and tribulations accompanying a trip to a bookstore, especially for a person with choice disorder like myself. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a similar fate had once befallen Jason Kottke. http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/04/perilously-erudite/ You'll notice that I haven't commented, at all, on the current pre-Presidential-campaign primary season. There are several reasons for that, ranging from "I don't write that often" to "I think the story tells itself". Honestly, though, I think this opinion piece speaks for itself. For all of ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/04/wwakd/ I'm unusually moved by the news that Gary Gygax, the father of Dungeons & Dragons, has passed away. I also feel a little older all of a sudden; not because of the obvious mortality issues, but because I haven't played D&D in a long time. And that's a ... http://www.2097racing.com/wordpress/2008/03/04/no-saving-throw-possible/
