anyone has been involved in developing any site using Buddypress before?

It is the premium theme functions.

You can achieve the same thing with these.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-post-thumbnail/

If the theme you're using now support feature image or thumbnail like Mystique, you don't need this plugin.

and

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-download-monitor/
Or
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/download-manager/

and then,

edit your index.php or add a new file home.php then copy the whole code in your index.php before editing the home.php

To get the drop down category, just add another dynamic sidebar area and then add Categories widget or Custom Menus.

anyone using twenty ten theme?

can please guide me how to make the home page as a single column, no sidebar template?

with a regular post lining up, not only in pages.

I'm not using that theme.

But you can try these ways.

Way 1: No Hard Coding, static homepage.

1. Create a page with title Home Page or whatever.
2. Change the Page Attributes at the Page Template into 1 column page (no sidebars).
3. Go to Settings -> Reading -> Front page displays -> A static page (select below) -> Front page: (Select the Home Page you created before hand)

This way, your homepage will be static and even if you create new post it will not be displayed in front page.

Way 2: Hard coding, dynamic homepage.
1. Appearance -> Editor -> index.php
2. Delete this line below.
3. Click update.



Enjoy.

thanks!,

ive try the 1st way, but i want the post to be there,

ill try the 2nd way later on,

You're welcome.
Just ask if any problem occur...

Guys i am new to this blogging thing and i have some questions,

1) How do I install custom theme on wordpress ? Do i need to pay up for a web host company before that ?

2) How do i put up Nuffnang Ads on my wordpress ?

Thank you !

1) To install a custom theme is easy. Go to Appearance, then Click the tab, install new theme. then choose from the various theme over the Wordpress theme database. If you download the theme on your hard drive, then click upload and then install the theme and don't forget to activate it.

Important: Only self hosted wordpress(Wordpress.org) are able to install custom theme.
You need a domain name and a webhosting for this.

2) You can put nuffnang ads by first registering your blog at Nuffnangss, grab the ads code then go to Appearance -> Widget -> Text.
Fill the title as what you want or leave it blank then in the body of the form, fill in the nuffnangs ads code and then click save.
The ads will appear on your sidebar, so make sure to choose the right size.

Enjoy.

i need help with WP e-Commerce Plugin

im not sure how to disable the products from displaying the price.
i trying to create some sort of catalog website, but without the price displayed.

so im trying to figure out how to disable the price display for all the products actually, try googling, but not much help,

I don't understand what you try to achieve.

But let me tell you this.

WP-ecommerce, I've tried and working with it.

So my conclusion is, Wordpress is not suitable for e-commerce.

For ecommerce website, use an ecommerce script.

For example, you might want to try OpenCart or Magento.

OpenCart is as friendly user as WordPress.

While Magento is... just like Joomla... Complicated but can achieve more features...

well,

what i actually want to do is to disable the product from displaying the price

ive tried looking in the plugin itself but im not sure which line should i delete to make sure it wont display the price..

u know how usually an e-commerce site have their product page, and each of the product have it own price?

well i dont want it to display the price. only need it to display the product


any idea how to, not display the price? delete a line in css or php maybe?

You need to edit the php.

I'm quite lazy to dig back my wp-ecommerce grave yard...

You try to make catalog website why don't just use Gallery type theme?

You don't need this plugin.

We only need this plugin because we want the ability for members to put into cart and checkout to paypal.

If you don't need this, find a gallery theme.

But if you still want this, have a nice hard coding.

You can try this, but I don't guarantee it works because I don't try it.
I just look at the code and assume.

edit wpsc-includes/wpsp_query.php

Find this;



Change to;




under your own risk.

thanks wgn_white, well, in the end, i just ditch wordpress e-commerce and i use another e-commerce cms.


anyway, do you guys have any idea how do i able to customize the logo for the dashboard and the login panel?

Guys and gals. I have a website that is already up and running. I would like to add blog (it's a travel blog) in the same design. I have the .psd of course, but I also have the clean xhtml.

What would be a normal price to pay to have my current xhtml built into a WP theme?

Depends on your design.

From $30 to $100.

I can do basic coding for that range of price.

If you need more advance feature such as admin page, etc.
The price is increase of course.

(All price in USD)

Thanks.

Congratulations, you just undervalue yourself

LOL?

How much would your professional charge would be?

I'm just an amateur so I don't know much about pricing.

But so far that's market price I know even at international level.

More than that, people will go to Indian programmers from India or Bangladesh which will charge maybe even less than what I was stating.

Beside, he said he already have the html files.

My job is just to convert it into wordpress theme.

For me it's not a tasky job...

So price range between $30 to $100 is just worth the time unless he wants more functionality then it will goes more than $100 depends on how many added functions he wants.

(Incase destfull didn't read... All currency is in USD)

let say you said that price, if you only have 10-15 of that job per month, can you survive?

Don't said about India, Bangladesh or Pakistan.. thats because their cost it not same as us. And people at US, UK, SA etc doesn't even charge that but can survive.

I myself have a Pakistan dude working on my startup, KreativeThemes. We pay what he should get, not what the market price at their place

I see... I never think that.

10 job of $30 would be around RM900...

and each job which cost $30 will only cost me an hour work the most...

10 hour of work for RM900 is not bad eh for freelancer...

But I might change my perspective thou... since I am not so business minded yet.

So, my friend... It seems you are running your own company?

How much you're charging from html to wp theme like this?

Just guide me, newbie...

For those looking for a good plugin for your wordpress, try "all in one seo pack".

Really useful. Just to share my thoughts.
