Re: Custom Lifestream Display

That comes up when the script fails to connect to the database. Did you create a config.php file in the include directory?

It should look something like:

$host = "localhost";
$database = "blog";
$user = "username";
$pass = "password";

wrapped in php tags.

Hey Mark - I just came upon your custom Lifestream code. Can you explain a little bit more how to customize the IDs in feeds.php? I don't see where the IDs are set in that file, it looks like they might be pulled from the Lifestream DBs, but I'm unclear what needs to be modified.

If you can email back that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Len

I know that flickr recently changed their RSS format (I had to make a corresponding change in my code to change where it looked for the thumbnail). I'll take a look at the flickr extension tonight to see if it's straight forward to update where it finds the thumbnail.

Hi,

I was wondering if you knew how I could get the basic wp-lifestream plugin to show flickr thumbnails, instead of just linking off to flickr? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Chesley

Re: Roland JV-35 ROMs

I absolutely adore the "Blue Planet" and Stangers songs. I love all the different tones you used in the former, and the latter is like turning on the Smooth Jazz station WNUA (now defunct) back in the day--you really nailed a groove and the very tasteful percussion is the bomb. Incredible composition and arrangements that are commercial sales quality.

I came across your publication here for I am attempting to see what the Faiir Market Value is on a working slightly used Roland JV-35. Google searching has shown me as much as $895 in a Minneapolis Music store to $100 in a West Hollywood craigslist ad----kinda a big range...

I play one in the metal band I am in and I really like the sounds. I am going to attempt to tweak it to sound more like the songs we are covering. The Choir Ahhs are tits!

Please keept the compositions coming.

Thanks for this. Sure it isn't the result wanted, but these WYSIWYG's need to grow up and realise that they are over working a problem that doesn't exist. Pain in the 'you know what'!

I've turned off the WYSIWYG editor and have been writing raw HTML. This isn't the "greatest" solution, but I haven't had a chance to try to re-enable it and figure out what a more correct solution is. I just don't think that TinyMCE has evolved to a point where you can intermix native HTML and the interpreted editor.

I am using 2.6.2. And what I am trying to do is stop it from removing my precious p tags. under wp-admin/js/editor.js,

I commented off two lines and replaced it with a new one

//content = content.replace(new RegExp('\\s*', 'mgi'), '');

//content = content.replace(new RegExp('\\s*\\s*', 'mgi'), '\n\n');

content = content.replace(new RegExp('\\s*\\s*\\s*', 'mgi'), '\n');

it now only removes tags with empty content. i hope. seems working for me. hope it helps someone.

Mario's solution (#6) worked for me. I'm on WP 2.3.3.

Thanks!

Does anyone have a solution for WP 2.5 and up? This worked great for version before that but I can't seem to find that code anywhere in the tiny_mce_config.php file. Did div code move?

Always very cool. The systems complexity makes me think of BattleTech or Blizzard artwork, and how I'm not sure an artist could ever conceive of the ridiculousness an engineer can create. "Vehicle Assembly Building goin' up!"

Seriously! As soon as I heard it, I wanted to watch the movie again =) Has to be one of the best themes as far as classic "feel good" tone and recognizability.

I've tried Line Rider before. Initial conclusion: kinda cool, but a waste of time. Boy was I right!

(Yay, love for the Prince of Thieves theme.)
