Oh wait, no. I think he did what I describe but that doesn't work (maybe it did in previous versions.) As @2manydjs says above, the links get overwritten. If you instead copy the whole ~/Library/Safari folder to Dropbox and then make a symlink to that as shown below, it will work.

cd ~/Library/
mv Safari/ ~/Dropbox/Sync/MacOSX/
ln -s ~/Dropbox/Sync/MacOSX/Safari/ Safari

But can xmarks sync history? I have MobileMe for bookmark sync... I am currently using the solution provided for syncing history but Safari crashes a lot and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it...

No, they aren't backwards... He just forgot to mention that first you have to copy the two original .plist files to Dropbox and delete them from their original location. Then the command will make SymLinks in the Safari folder pointing to the files on Dropbox.

Hello,
I have figured the solution: there must be "project=[project identificator]", not "project=[project name]".

But despite that, I cannot create new issue from not authenticated user :/ I make project public but that not helped.

Dan I understood for the case of page.php.
My WP is set to display 8 posts in each page. I want to put info after the first post of each page.
Post 1 - Info1 | Post 9 - Info 1 | Post 17 - Info 1

1 + 1*8

for( var i:int = 0; i<Total number of posts; i++ )

This is my idea.

Thanks

If you want to insert info after the content, open up the page.php file and add it after <?php the_content ?>

Dan what is the solution for this type of pages?

Thank you for great tutorial.
Have one problem: I can add comments (notes) using mail to issues created via portal (via web) but cannot create new issue. Mails in mailbox (IMAP) are marked as read, but no new issue created after shell execution.

Thank you very much for you time and answer.

Re: Display a loading image until the page completes loading

dancameron — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:58:53 -0000

Yeah, I went the route of show on ready then hiding again after load.

dancameron — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:57:29 -0000

page.php isn't a loop. It's a content page.

It worked well at index.php but not in page.php. Why?

I think the ln -s command is backwards... I get same message, but then I sounds like for Safari 4 there are better ways of doing it?

Not to sound like a broken record, but if javascript is disabled then the image will show but never be hidden, in this case.

How about (inside the first div) adding some inline javascript that writes the image tag you are putting in there (using document.write since the DOM may not be ready yet at that point in the page load)?

That way the loading image will only show up when JS is enabled, and then of course you will be able to hide it as you've done here.

If you're only trying to get the shortcode interpreted, just call do_shortcode on the entirety of your content after you're finished doing whatever it is you want with it.

Hi Nick,

The thing is in this way i am not flexible anymore, because i want to paste the gallery by the user in his post... and if he posted a gallery then i want to put this gallery on the right side... so do i have to parse the $content in my function and as soon as a shortcode comes i can add it by calling the function do_shortcode?

Otherwise i will always add the gallery on the end of my post and i have to give the id of the galleriy in my function :-S

Re: Splitting Content into Two Columns, e.g. Word Wrap with PHP or CSS + Javascript

Nick — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:55:05 -0000

add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_gallery_shortcode_and_interpret' );
function add_gallery_shortcode_and_interpret($content) {
$content .= do_shortcode('[gallery id=xxx]');
return $content;
}

Hi,

i have an issue with modyfing the content in the functions.php. I wanted to input a gallery into the content so i downloaded several galleries (nextgen for example). now for using a gallery into the content we have to type in in the post [gallery = x] and the gallery is displayed on the page.

But because i am modifying the content in my functions.php the shortcode is echoed and not inteprated. so i dont see the gallery, but i see the shortcode [gallery = x]. I dont know how to solve this issue, that i do modify the content (because of splitting into two columns) and that the gallery is shown.

Thanks for your help in advance. I cant find a solution on this.

Re: iDVD ‘08 won’t start

Webosaurs News — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:24:33 -0000

Um, I got a new mac, and like you said, iDVD always quits! so I went to delete those folders and, I only HAVE themes 5 and sox. On the apple website it told me to download iDVD 7.0.1, and i did. Now it doesnt "quit" right away, but it doesnt do anything else either. no window comes up or anything, so I have to force quit. what is going on?

Browser support: http://tinyurl.com/ygphca7 :)

Supported by Firefox 1.5+ and Safari 3. So a while ago.

XML and PHP: Yeah right, I'm shying away from any php+xml for a long while, the last time I tried it was a mess.

I think I'll just search over X amount of characters (like 20) before the $start for a "<" tag, then just move the $split there.

This is cool stuff, although you know I don't like the javascript-only thing, even just for IE. I wasn't aware of that particular CSS 3 attribute, though, so that's cool. For the non-IE browsers, do you know what versions the proprietary substitutes (the -moz and -webkit versions) were introduced in?

Anyway, for the PHP side, it would be great if you could keep the HTML valid, since it could end up throwing off other stuff in your page if the break is bad enough.

Maybe you could try loading the content as XML and manipulating it with the PHP DOM libraries? You could walk through the nodes until you find the one the split should be in, and then handle that particular node by replacing it with two nodes that have the content split out, and then do the split out from there, closing any open parent nodes and starting corresponding new ones in the next column. It isn't easy, but that's my first thought on how to tackle it and still end up with valid HTML at the end.

Or just say no to the client asking for this... :-)

So, I'm not hooking into the_content because this wont be used throughout the theme, only with certain posts under a certain condition ( modal box ).
