It’s been a while since I looked up the number of comments. I can’t remember how long, and I can’t find it by searching for “comments”. So rather than spend more time on it, I just gave up.

Well, what do you know. I was just noticing the huge number of comments on Brad’s Birthday Post and the huge number of comments on my Footnote Post. That made me wonder what other posts had a lot of comments, and the one that has the most comments is this post which happens to be the post I couldn’t find. The post with the last number of comments per person list. Thanks Peggy for kranking up the comment count so that I could find it seven months later.

No more Found…

July 28, 2007 by Lloyd 2 Comments

Well, it turns out that I don’t like the found category going off into a seperate sidebar. So I’m going to throw all of that stuff back into the normal mix and get rid of it. It should appear below this post (if I’m lucky), so you might scroll down and see a few shorter posts that you haven’t seen before (and 2 longer ones).

Save Bradaptation.com

June 29, 2007 by Lloyd 22 Comments

Bradaptation needs your help. It has recently come to our attention that Bradapation has used up over 90% of its allotted bandwidth. And, as I’m sure you know, once it’s gone there will be no more Bradaptation.* Operators are standing by now to take your donations to help save Bradapation.com.

Think of the children.

Red is bad (click here for larger image) *Um, until the end of the month, I think.

now with more searching goodness

June 19, 2007 by Lloyd Leave a Comment

I took the searchbox off of our theme when we first messed with the theme because (a) I didn’t like the way it looked and (b) I couldn’t imagine anyone wanting to search through this ‘waste of time’ of a website. Well, I needed to search for something today, and so I put one back up. I didn’t want to add another ‘thought bubble’ to the right hand side, so I fit one into the categories block. Here’s the code:

<br />
<i>
<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; ?>”>>
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size=”15″ value=”search ’em all” onFocus=”this.value=”” />
<input style=”display:none;” type=”submit” value=”<?php _e(‘Search’); ?>” />
</form>
</li>

Changes for the ‘Found’ category

June 19, 2007 by Lloyd 2 Comments

Lauren wanted to add little ‘blurbs’ about things that she’s found on the internet that she’d like to share with anyone who’s interested in wasting more time, but she didn’t want to add them as real posts, because they don’t really have much to do with us.

Initially I thought she could do that with a single page that she updates when she wants to add stuff, but then I found something that I really wanted to share, but wasn’t really the sort of post that we’ve been doing, so I looked again into finding a plugin that would keep posts in certain categories off of the front page. My last attempt at a plugin like that broke something else (I don’t remember what). But this plugin by Rich Hamilton seems to work fine. And, as an added bonus, these ‘meta’ posts that no one is really interested in are not off the front page as well.

Part two is listing these posts somewhere. For that I’m going to try this plugin by Scott Reilly.

Here’s the function I’ll use with default:

function c2c_get_recent_posts ($num_posts = 5,
$format = “[li]%post_date%: %post_URL%[/li]”,
$categories = ”,
$orderby = ‘date’,
$order = ‘DESC’,
$offset = 0,
$date_format = ‘m/d/Y’,
$authors = ”,
$include_passworded_posts = false)

Here’s the snippet of code for the sidebar:

[li][h2]Found[/h2]
[ul]
[?php c2c_get_recent_posts(5,”[li]%post_date%: %post_URL%[/li]”,’Found’); ?]
[/ul]
[/li]

And here’s the complete lists of variables that work:

%comments_count% // Number of comments for post
%comments_fancy% // Fancy reporting of comments: (see get_recent_tagmap())
%comments_url% // URL to top of comments section for post
%comments_URL% // Post title linked to the top of the comments section on post’s permalink page
%last_comment_date% // Date of last comment for post
%last_comment_id% // ID for last comment for post
%last_comment_URL% // URL to most recent comment for post
%last_commenter% // Author of last comment for post
%last_commenter_URL // Linked (if author URL provided) of author of last comment for post
%post_author% // Author for post
%post_author_count% // Number of posts made by post author
%post_author_posts% // Link to page of all of post author’s posts
%post_author_url% // Linked (if URL provided) name of post author
%post_content% // Full content of the post
%post_date% // Date for post
%post_excerpt% // Excerpt for post
%post_excerpt_short% // Customizably shorter excerpt, suitable for sidebar usage
%post_id% // ID for post
%post_modified% // Last modified date for post
%post_title% // Title for post
%post_url% // URL for post
%post_URL% // Post title linked to post’s permalink page

Just to be complete, I also added a table to the ‘stuff’ sidebar so that I could have two collumns. I know, I should have used CSS for that. Tough.

Boring meta post

May 15, 2007 by Lloyd 7 Comments

I did some changes to the website a few days ago, and I’ve been posting about them in case I ever need to go back and see what I’ve done. Just in case an upgrade breaks something or I have to do another installation. Here are the changes:

1) Comments for the most recent post appear on the main page. This was the hardest to do. There are now two event loops, but the first one just grabs one post and the second one grabs everything but the first post:

[?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1'); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; $withcomments = 1;?]

***NORMAL POST STUFF GOES HERE***

[?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?]

[?php endwhile; ?]

[!--This should grab the rest of the posts. LS 5/12/2007--]

[?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?]
[div id="postbreak"][/div]

***NORMAL POST STUFF GOES HERE***

[?php endwhile; endif; ?]

2) Added the random post seperator between posts. This uses a random image addon. Any of them should work. This one is just a PHP script that sits in a directory with a bunch of images. You call the script as the source and it pulls in a random image. The image is placed via CSS which I haven’t seen before and probably breaks in older browsers.

Shoot, I thought I did more than that, but that’s all that I can remember. Sorry about the boring post.
