hey everyone,

I'm new here and wondering if someone can help me out. i have a couple wordpress blogs i've built for clients, and i'm occasionally getting a wierd behavior in Firefox Win/Mac: sometimes even though there is plenty of content below the fold, no vertical scrollbar will show at all. it only does this on firefox.

here's an example (must view in firefox):

http://www.lorihedrickphotography.com/blog/

and i've tried adding this:


html {
height:101%;
overflow-y:scroll;
}


i looked at it with firebug, it validates. i'm stumped! any help would be greatly appreciated.

Implementation of the MetaWeblog API http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi in PHP.

<?php
/**
 * Skeleton file for MetaWeblog API http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi in PHP
 * Requires Keith Deven's XML-RPC Library http://keithdevens.com/software/xmlrpc and store it as xmlrpc.php in the same folder
 * Written by Daniel Lorch, based heavily on Keith Deven's examples on the Blogger API.
 */

require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/xmlrpc.php';

function metaWeblog_newPost($params) {
  list($blogid, $username, $password, $struct, $publish) = $params;
  $title = $struct['title'];
  $description = $struct['description'];


  // YOUR CODE:
  $post_id = 0; // id of the post you just created


  XMLRPC_response(XMLRPC_prepare((string)$post_id), WEBLOG_XMLRPC_USERAGENT);
}

function metaWeblog_editPost($params) {
  list($postid, $username, $password, $struct, $publish) = $params;

  'metaWeblog.editPost' => 'metaWeblog_editPost',
  'metaWeblog.getPost'  => 'metaWeblog_getPost'

$xmlrpc_request = XMLRPC_parse($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

if(!isset($xmlrpc_methods[$methodName])) {
  XMLRPC_method_not_found($methodName);
} else {
  $xmlrpc_methods[$methodName]($params);
}
?>

I've Googled this about 20 times - documenting it here for convenience.

curl -d url=TRACKBACK_URL -d title=TRACKBACK_TITLE -d blog_name=TRACKBACK_BLOG_NAME -d excerpt=TRACKBACK_EXCERPT URL

These two models can be used to access the posts and associated comments of a WordPress database.

class WpBlogComment < ActiveRecord::Base

  # line to set_table_name "wordpress.wp_comments"
  # don't forget to give the db user permissions to access the wordpress db
  set_table_name "wp_comments"
  set_primary_key "comment_ID"

  belongs_to :post , :class_name => "WpBlogPost", :foreign_key => "comment_post_ID"

  validates_presence_of :comment_post_ID, :comment_author, :comment_content, :comment_author_email
  
  def validate_on_create
    if WpBlogPost.find(comment_post_ID).comment_status != 'open'
      errors.add_to_base('Sorry, comments are closed for this post')
    end
  end

end
