Common Website Problems, General Explorer 7, 8 Right Click not working – Solved

By Dwayne on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Explorer 7, 8 Right Click not working problem Solved

Recently I had an issue with Explorer, the recent ms explorers both had right clicking issues where you cannot right click at all; the right click would work in all the other programs including Firefox. To solve the problem I had to go in the registry  and edit the values below.
1) Go into regedit
2) Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

Look for “NoBrowserContextMenu” – on mine there was a value of  “1″
I changed it to “0″, closed explorer and tried it and it worked.

This seems to be an explorer bug. The ms techs solutions doesn’t work, they say remove any addon, un-install super-antispyware or that it could be a virus. The above instructions work for me, hope it does for you, leave a comment if it works. Thanks.

This issue made sure I stop using Explorer, switching full-time to Firefox. Two Thumbs up to FireFox always, explorer (lowercase)  is a designer’s nightmare. :)

Wordpress Tutorials Chinese Characters in WordPress

By Dwayne on Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Chinese Characters in WordPress

Chinese characters do not work in WordPress by default if you didn’t
originally setup your WordPress to handle Chinese.

However, it is pretty easy to get it working. I didn’t see it
documented elsewhere, so I thought I’d post instructions on configuring
WordPress to allow posting Chinese.

* Using a program (like phpMyAdmin) to administer your database,
select the WordPress database.

* Find the wp_posts table, and click on the “structure” icon (it is
the second from the left under Actions)

* Click the “pencil” icon on the wp_content table.

* Change the Collation option to utf8_unicode_ci (on mine, that’s
the option at the very bottom).

* Click Save.

* If you want to enable Chinese in titles, you can repeat the
procedure for the wp_posts.wp_title.  You might also want to enable it
in comments by repeating on wp_comments.comment_content and
wp_comments.comment_author.

That’s it! You can now post 汉字 in WordPress!

Wordpress Tutorials WordPress Category Heirarchy Structure

By Dwayne on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

In the case of categories, the hierarchy is fairly simple. For instance,
suppose the slug of the Category in question is default and the Category
ID is 6. The Template Hierarchy specifies that WordPress will use the
first Template file it finds in your current Theme’s directory from the
following list:

1. category-slug.php (Note: available with Version 2.9)
2. category-ID.php
3. category.php
4. archive.php
5. index.php

That is, if you do not have a category-slug.php (lets say
category-news.php), WordPress will check for a category-ID.php (like
category-6.php), and so on.

So, if you want to make the Category whose ID number is 6 look different
from what it is currently (and different from other Category pages), you
would want to create a category-6.php file. If you want to make all
Category pages look different from other archive pages (such as date and
author archives), then you would want to create or modify the
category.php file. If you want to make changes to the look of all
archive pages, you can create or modify the archive.php file. And if you
modify the index.php file, you will affect your entire blog.

If you need to create a new file, it is a good idea to copy it from the
next file in the hierarchy that exists. For instance, if you want a
special display for Category 6, begin by copying the category.php file,
or if you don’t have one, use archive.php, and so on.

Here you go,  I can walk you through the coding to get that post in post but I have a custom wordpress plugin I use sometimes to make things go faster.  I’ll  send to your email as we talked in the  phone session (btw thanks).

[[n]]

n – is the post id number or the page id number that you want to display, you can display a post within a post or  page within a page and so on, A good practice would be to create  bordered table and just add each post/etc you want in the section but that’s ofcourse depends on how you want to use the plugin, this would give that dynamic blog look. Let me know this helps. If you have any questions just give me a call or email. Thanks Dwayne
