Ah, all those comments gone. :( Well, just wanted to let you know I finally got around to installing that updated index.php for the admin folder and it works great with drafts now. Thank you, Chris!

Hmm.. I wonder what I’ve done funnily. I just left one post as a draft and now the index page stops right there. It shows link to the draft and nothing else (leaves an open paragraph tag too). When there are no drafts, everything works nicely. Problem must be in the loop then, but what oh what could it be? It doesn’t really bother me and in your screenshot it works, it’s just very *very* puzzling…
Anyway, this ‘new index page’ for the admin section is really good. I can see everything in one quick Glance :)

Are you sure that you were able to get the newest version of glance? I recently updated the zip to fix a bug. Try and Dl it again and let me know how it goes.

Ah, cheers :) That fixed it

Wow! Very usefull (not just eye candy) and I hope this makes it into WP 1.2 final.

Thanks Alex, I appreciate the positive feedback.

But I want to stress again, that mpt came up with the UI, I just implemented it, so the kudo’s should go to him, not me.

I got the following error on my main index.php page.

Open Stats2 Database Failed
Error Number: 1146Error Description: mysql_errorQuery: SELECT * FROM wp_stats where date=’2004-05-20’strWhere:

Oh, BTW. I’m using the version 1.2.

John, did you add the stats table to your database?

The error you are getting means that the function can’t connect to the table in your databse. Make sure that you have added the appropriate table to your WordPress Database.

If you have the table in the DB, then post here again, and I will try and walk you through some other possible fixes.

My bad…I started with Glance instead of stats. :-/ Nice work BTW.

Chris, I’m confused.

I’m getting the same error John got, but I already had your wp-stats implemented.
However, I do not see a wp-stats table in my database. What step did I miss?

No, wp-stats eh?

Hmmmm… You need to add that table so that you can actually record the page views. You will need to go to whatever interface you use to access your MySQL DB, phpmyadmin or the like and enter this:

CREATE TABLE wp_stats (
date date DEFAULT '0000-00-00' NOT NULL,
hits mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (date)
);

I would recommend using phpmyadmin if possible. Once you have this, and you have thrown the correct function call (<?php the_stats(): ?>) into all your pages that you wish to track pageviews on, you should be good.

Thank you Chris, that worked.
There were actually multiple ways to run that query in PHPMyAdmin, with only one of them actually creating the table :)

I have a new problem with the glance index.php. Ever since I added a few drafts the index.php page ends just after listing the drafts. Looking at the source of the page, index.php ends with </a> on line 52 of index.php. There is no closing </p> from line 58.

Hey seriocomic,

Apparently you did not read the documentation adequately. The only reason this depends on a plugin is to power the stats portion. If you don’t want to have the stats echoed out there, then you remove the code that calls that, which I have documented in index.php, and you no longer need any plugins or extra files.

The rest of the page uses built in WP functions. Furthermore, if this was to be folded into the trunk, we would either also fold in my stats plugin, or find a different way to power that feature, or take it out completely.

This is already the case with another hack of mine, the theme manager which is being folded into the trunk, it at this time requires a plugin, but that plugins code will be folded in as well.

I strongly agree in principle with this idea, to have a single overview page rather than heading straight into edit/post.

Dependancy on a plugin for it to work will probably prevent this particular inclusion in a final release but kudos for the effort!

Err, sorry, you’re right I didn’t read the documentation at all. My Bad. Just encouraging the idea…

Hi!

Like the others, I’m getting the same error, though I have created the db on my server. It shows correctly with the proper fields. Can you please help?

Thanks!
