Thanks Rad. I will fix the default phrasing in the next release.

Hello!

Your plugin is great!
Please note that the default phrasing uses the word "Also" without a comma after it.

For WP Greet Box to not show up from the direct URL all, it means that there is funky with the server setup. I'm not a htaccess wizard myself so I wouldn't immediately know if you show me your .htaccess file. You might be better off asking someone who's really good with .htaccess file to help you troubleshoot your server setup.

Also, if step 4 works for you, you might want to try changing:
url: "index.php"
to
url: "/index.php"
in wp-greet-box/js/onload.js, to see if it helps.

Thanks for the awesome mod.
I am using a version of Linux server that does not allow direct htaccess.

Can you please let me know what I should be adding to the htaccess file so that I can manually add it?

Thanks

Do you have any idea how I should go about fixing this? if not, I'll just stumble around google for a bit.

jQuery is needed for WP Greet Box to work . It is responsible for making the AJAX request in step 3. You will have to resolve the jQuery exception to get this to work.

I've done your tutorial as mentioned. Everything is PRESENT, but firebug does NOT turn out any http requests for that URL you mentioned in step 3. It does return 2 errors:
"B.childNodes is undefined"
and

"[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMViewCSS.getComputedStyle]" nsresult: "0×80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: http://technoheads.org/wp-includes/js/jquery/jque… :: anonymous :: line 11" data: no]
http://technoheads.org/wp-includes/js/jquery/jque…
Line 11"

I'm fairly certain that jquery.js isn't needed for wpgb (seeing as it wasn't mentioned above), but does this help at all? I hate to be persistant like this, and I appreciate your help previously.

Strange… wp_footer() is inside footer.php. I wonder if it's a WPMU bug.

i'm using wpmu 2.7 with a customized version of Infimum by Alex Smith

@jan
Thanks for reporting this. Some people have been having this issue and I suspect it has to do with the theme missing a call to wp_footer() at the end. What WordPress version and theme are you using?

By: Torsten

Torsten — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:33:40 +0000

It's Version 2.7.1.
After inserting the site cannot be displayed anymore… on FF just a blank site and on IE an error message, that the site cannot be loaded.

just to let you know. i had to insert the script code to the footer, though my theme included a footer.php – well, it's working now. thanks for the plugin, i used the referrer detector plugin before, but it wasn't compatible with my (mootools-powered) theme.
