OK I will hack at it and get you a patch when I have something...

And thanks for the great code! I really like your forum.

That would be terrific. I was hoping to eliminate the category model in any case so that I could use it for the blog. I'm not sure what you'd do with the forum views, but I'm not at all married to the way they work now, so... I hope to see something come of this - let me know if you have any questions!

Any interest in some additional features with the category and forum models?

I modified Beast a while back to support unlimited nested categories, subcategories, and subfolders. After trying out El Dorado, I was thinking I could do the same thing here.

Here's what I had in mind:

-Instead of the "position" attribute, use a Nested Set model. This way the entire tree structure can be loaded at once, plus it's easy to move positions & parents around. I prefer the BetterNestedSet plugin.
-The Category/Forum new/edit form would have a couple fields: "parent forum/category" and "insert before <forum/category list>". No more need to remember position numbers.
-The big difference in my mind would be eliminating the Category model completely. Categories would just be forums with forum.category == true. Forums that are categories would not allow posts and are displayed differently of course. This allows them to fit into the tree structure seamlessly, and you can have folders as children of categories as children of forums as children of categories and so on.
-Of course some view tweaks to indent or otherwise indicate each "level" of the forum or category.

Any interest?

Hmm... this could be a problem with Wordpress. Did you make sure that BOTH urls are saying HTTPS? I think you have to add "https" twice - once for your site URL and once for the WP url.

I get this error message when I try to upload a file while writing a post.

(sorry for the language ... I hope you'll undestand some words)

However, when I disable the Force SSL plugin, I can use this flash uploading module whithout any problem !

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. The secure files plugin shouldn't interfere with anything normally done with Wordpress, though. Are you saying it breaks some kind of flash uploading interface?

I have another and quite similar problem I can't solve ...
The classic WordPress uploading interface in flash won't work while Secure SSL is on ...

Is there any other solution than using the "browser based" uploading interface ?

Thx in advance once more !
Alex.

Thanx a lot ! It actually solved my problem (I was using the HTTP version of the URL in the options ...).

By the way, the plugins do work very well on the 2.6.

Bye,
Alex.

Make sure you're using the HTTPS version of your URL in your Wordpress options. I haven't tested the plugins on 2.6, but I've heard they work.

Hi !

I have a problem using the Force SSL and Secure Files plugins altogether.

In fact, when I try to upload a file through the Secure Files interface while Force SSL is activated, it has absolutely no effect (but I still can upload files through the regular WordPress interface).
However, when the Force SSL plugin is not activated, Secure Files works perfectly !

Is there any solution ?

Thanks in advance,
Alex.

P.S. : using WordPress 2.6 and the last versions of the 2 plugins
