More than one instance on a website

bluemarble — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:07:55 -0700

I am about to purchase the Pro Version. Is there any way to use this in more than one location on the website AND if so, is there a way to have one instance pull from one category of posts and the other instance pull from a separate category?

Installing on non-standard template

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:59:28 -0700

I am using a template that has obviously moved much of the functionality out of the index.php (there is no home.php) and into other files.

Specifically, on deactivation/reactivation of step 2 of the install process (after having chmod'd the index.php to 666 in step 1), I am receiving the following error:

Quote:Template file (/home/wp-content/themes/42k/index.php) does not contain 'have_posts()'.

So, obviously the auto-install process won't work for my setup. So I am looking for the best place to put the code so that it will appear on my "welcome" page which is set within the "Settings > Reading" as my "frontpage":

PHP Code:

//Code automatically inserted by Featurific for Wordpress plugin
if(is_home())                             //If we're generating the home page (remove this line to make Featurific appear on all pages)...
 if(function_exists('insert_featurific')) //If the Featurific plugin is activated...
  insert_featurific();                    //Insert the HTML code to embed Featurific
?>

My index.php contains very little code:

PHP Code:

global $options; foreach ($options as $value) {
if (get_settings( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_settings( $value['id'] ); }
}
include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/bricks/homepage/'.$bxx_index_file);?>

The file referenced by the variable $bxx_index_file contains the following:

PHP Code:

(); ?>


= $posts[0]; ?>
if (have_posts()) : ?>
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
(); ?>>
 () ?>" rel="bookmark" class="title">(); ?>  
Posted by () ?> | Filed under (', ') ?> | ('M j, Y') ?> | ('Tags: ', ', ', ' | '); ?>(' No Comments', ' 1 Comment', ' % Comments'); ?>


= "$bxx_main_post_type";
if ( $bxx_main_post_type == "content" ) {
echo     the_content(); wp_link_pages('Pages:', '
', 'number');
} else {
  echo  the_excerpt();
}
?>

            
if ( $count == 0 ) : ?>

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/scripts/advert-one.php'); ?>


endif // ( $count == 1 ) ?>
++ ?>
endwhile; ?>

('« Older Entries') ?>
('Newer Entries »') ?>

else : ?>
endif; ?>
 
(); ?>
(); ?>

I tried placing the code before the line

PHP Code:

if (have_posts()) : ?>

but to no avail.

I would reference the site url, but I have the maintenance mode plug-in active and you wouldn't be able to see it anyway.

I suppose I should also ask if this plug-in works not only with posts, but also pages, as this site is developed using pages exclusively (thus far at least).

Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide!

Image size broken

Stuka — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:34:47 -0700

Hi Rich, I hope all is well.

I've got a new problem: after configuring the width and height of the national geographic template, the image keeps on the same old size, 480x240, as you can see here: http://www.mmoplayers.com.br

Are there any other settings on the .xml? What am I doing wrong? I've already deactivated and re-activated the plugin and saved options.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Can't use featurific with this theme:

Stuka — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:29:42 -0700

Hello Rich, I've been using featurific for like a month now, and I love it. Its very unique and your style is awesome.

Too bad though, that since I changed my themes (from Lightword to Mandigo) I can't use featurific. It simply wont show at the front page.

Could you give me a hand? Here is the link to my website: http://www.mmoplayers.com.br

rmiddleton — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:28:46 -0700

This plugin could make my day, week, month, but most importantly our teachers happy. So close to working, but...
Hope this is the information you need to point me in the right direction.
And thank you, in advance, for I know what will be the right answer.

Tried a variety of theme and plugin combinations.
These notes are with all plugins inactive except Featurific for Wordpress.
This is a WordpressMU new install and "home" theme.

As I change themes I can see the space change, but no picture or frame/format is ever displayed.

No data.xml file is created in: /srv/www/htdocs/wordpressmu/wp-content/plugins/featurific-for-wordpress #

No changes are observed in themes/home/ index.php or home.php
Adding the static page code made no difference.

WordPressMU root:

At the risk of talking to myself...
I have discovered that if I activate on the main site, it is active for all sites. i.e. puts the main site (root) posts on all blogs.
Apparently not MU aware at this point.
So the question becomes: How do I make it read ONLY the individual blog site?
example of site map:
./wpmu (root)
./wpmu/mine
./wpmu/hers
./wpmu/his

Featurific not working after I installed its latest version

Empress_of_Drac — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:32:34 -0700

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this. After I installed the latest version in my blog (http://empressofdrac.com), the featurific I put on my sidebar is not working anymore. Please check the screenshot below.

I currently disabled this plug in for now since I'm still looking for solutions. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Free version stops working after time

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:16:20 -0700

I have just started to use the free version.

It stops working after it reaches the update frequency time. Not sure why this is happening.

I am also using the simply exclude plugin to prevent the category in the slideshow from appearing on the front page.

Any ideas?

Xarzu — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 01:26:11 -0700

Has anyone here had any experience writing WordPress Plugins?

Can't get this to work at all

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:07:57 -0700

Hi there and congratulations for the plugin. I'd really like to have it on my website but I couldn't so far. Hope you can help me. I'll be as specific as I can.

- I'm running wordpress 2.9.1 on my own host
- I want featurific to appear on my static home page www.fotoviajar.com
- I've already successfully installed the aditional plugins Exec-php and Deactivate visual editor
- I also copied the code
//Code automatically inserted by Featurific for Wordpress plugin
if(is_home()) //If we're generating the home page (remove this line to make Featurific appear on all pages)...
if(function_exists('insert_featurific')) //If the Featurific plugin is activated...
insert_featurific(); //Insert the HTML code to embed Featurific
?>

to where I wanted featurific to appear.

Nothing happens... Please help me.

Installation issues

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:50:39 -0700

Hi,

I've manually installed the Featurific folder to wp-content/plugins (after unsuccessfully trying to alter permission settings). However my plugins page on Wordpress keeps asking me to alter permission settings. I have also tried deactivating and activating the plugin as advised in the message, but to no avail.

Help!

Thanks.

Trouble with Featurific Free

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 21:06:52 -0700

Where do I input the download?

It is messing the template at IE

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 03:15:26 -0700

This is a great plugin, but is not working with IE. Could you check http://www.esrarengiz.org in IE and mozilla. When I deactivate it, then template works in IE, but when it is active, mozilla works perfect, but IE not.
Thanks,

featurific new version

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 11:31:00 -0700

I've updated to featurific 1.6.1 - a nice plugin, that I really enjoy....

the auto-upgrade didn't work - no surprise really, since most do fail - but I uploaded the new files, and re-activated it, and it works, but I'm being told i NEED to install "Featurific Free", something that is not in the installation package, and no mention is made of it in the installation notes.

I'm loathe to install something I know nothing about, with no website to go look at to see what it is...

Anyone here care to comment on what it is, and why I need to install it, and why there are no notes in the installation package about this additional piece of software?

Not functioning at all

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:35:08 -0700

This is not a new install of WordPress. It's an upgrade to version 2.9. I've read the installation instructions, set the preferences, and all I get is a link to iwebix.de...no slider, not picture, no content at all. Please advise.

Unable to make any changes stick

I've got Featurific installed on my wordpress blog. It worked fine until I added a few new posts and then clicked the most recent posts radio button and clicked update options. No change affected, still the same five original posts being featured.
I tried user specified posts and still No change affected, still the same five original posts being featured
I'm using the Time.com template

Arrows and Numbers for advancing the featurific image forward or backward

maxfaction — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 08:05:16 -0700

I'm using featurific-for-wordpress, it works fine. What I can't seem to do is change the featurific user-controls from using numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) that identify which post is being described.

I want to use ARROWS to move forward or backward as seen on a few examples of featurific. How can I accomplish this for featurific-for-wordpress?
