I've sent you a few emails, but you didn't reply. This isn't something I have time to look at right now, what with my current work load. As I said in the email, I can't support third party themes that do things differently or in a non-standard way. Sorry, but I'm just too busy. Hi!

I’ve sent you a few emails, but you didn’t reply.

This isn’t something I have time to look at right now, what with my current work load.

As I said in the email, I can’t support third party themes that do things differently or in a non-standard way.

Sorry, but I’m just too busy.

Many thanks Hi Wayne, don’t suppose you’ve had a chance to look at this have you?

Many thanks

Like I said, I don't know how Thesis works. But if it's using the functions file, it should be relatively straight forward. I've got your email address, so I'll ping something over tomorrow, OK?

When I simply add your code in to custom_functions.php it breaks. What I assume I need is your code tweaked so it will work with Thesis which is why I was playing around with both of them to try and make it work. I've no idea if what i'm trying to do is possible but I would've thought that if it works on some themes it should work on others?

The code sample is part of a function. You don't really want to amend the function, but just replace the whole thing (assuming you're not using it) with my code sample. If you amend their code, you're getting a mishmash of theirs and mine, which is why the whole thing is breaking. I’m guessing you’re not too familiar with PHP, yes?

The only piece of code I've found for <a href="http://snipplr.com/view/11507/custom-field-usage-example-in-thesis-function/" rel="nofollow">custom fields that works with Thesis is here in Snipplr</a>. I've tried simply removing lines 2 to 7 and replacing it with yours but it breaks my site for some reason. If you can offer any guidance it would be very much appreciated.

What would you need from my examples to make it Thesis friendly? You should be able to drop my code directly into any theme without any problems.

The problem of their being only the one content section is something I've been wrestling with for a while, and was the main reason I'd held off using WordPress for the new Octane website. The beauty is, it's not even a hack, it's a very elegant way of making WordPress work that little bit harder without all kinds of weird Plugins and bizarre code. I'm glad you like it! Hi Babs!
