I like the idea of Gravatars, and they are easy to implement in PHP, but I cannot execute straight PHP code, only Smarty Templates (under Blogsome).
I’d like to be able to write a Gravatar plugin in Smarty Code, but I don’t know how to MD5 encrypt just in Smarty. I thought the following would work, but it doesn’t seem to:
{php}echo md5("email@address.net");{/php}
In fact, I can’t seem to get any code to execute using the {php} {/php} tags.
{php}echo "Hello, World";{/php}
I get quite a few people emailing or leaving comments asking for help with Templates and so on for WordPress, or issues with Blogsome that I’ve dealt with, but don’t appear in the forums.
Matt,
Can you give a newbie some advice about installing the Connections theme? In the top nav menu there are five buttons: Home, About, Archives, Links, and Contacts. I can’t figure out how to make these links work. The Home button works ok, but not the others. My feeling is that I need to edit the links in header.php, but what do I put? Do I need to create pages first? If so, how do I do this?
Also, can you tell me how to add a calendar like you have on your site?
Thanks for all your help,
Caitlin
I’ve noticed a couple of blogs that hilight the comments made by particular users, mainly the blog owner, but in one case there were two writers, male and female that had blue and pink comment boxes respectively, and everyone else had another colour.
I might implement this for another blog I’m working on, to do with a Touch team I’m Assistant Coach of. (South Australia Mens Open). I’ll also probably implement it here, at least for testing purposes.
