What WP plugin will do this?

I need to be able to add a note or author comment after each blog post and would like to have it highlighted like this is. I see it on many blogs but can't find a plugin to do it.

Thanks in advance. :thumbsup

Yea I could hard code it in but I'd like to be able to use it on and off. Like an excerpt for example. If you don't put anything there, nothing shows up. Same idea.

I figured there is plugin for this but I could be wrong.

try to add this in your /wp-content/themes/YOURTEMPLATE/single.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<div style="background-color:#f5f5b7; border-color:#e2d6ac; border-style: dashed; padding:10px;">

    YOUR MSG
    
</div>

before

PHP Code:


		
			
<div class="comments">

You can also create a shortcode for that, like [note msg="blablabla"]....

Hit me if u need help :thumbsup

It's not a plugin. I don't know Wordpress much expect reverse engineering it, but there's comments, and then there's admin comments, or something to that affect. Maybe it's "author comments".

Anyway, it's in the CSS. You have to find a theme that supports it, then copy it.

PS. Don't quote me on that, as I could be wrong. Again, I don't know WP very well.

Its easy shit.
Add something like this to ur /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/functions.php

PHP Code:


		
			
function myNote ($atts, $msg)
{
    
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
                "atts" => '',
                "msg" => ''
        ), $atts));
 
 return '<div style="background-color:#f5f5b7; border-color:#e2d6ac; border-style: dashed; padding:10px;">'.$msg.'</div>';
      
}
add_shortcode('note', 'myNote');

then, in the post that you want to call, write [note msg="blalbla bla bla"] where you want the warning

Lots of hard solutions for an easy problem.

Search "WP Author Plugin" in google, there is dozens of them, you could also just add it as a custom field and have a lot more control over it (ie an endless amounts of text/image/author combinations and even advertisements).

Working it as a custom field allows you to add it wherever you want, but also with any text/image/etc that you want to put.

you're over complicating things, just do this:

Code:



<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'author-comment', true)): ?>

<div style="somestyle"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'author-comment', true); ?></div>

<?php endif; ?>

then just use a custom field named author-comment (or whatever) with the text you want and apply the style as you want.

Alternatively, if your theme doesn't use excerpts, then you can simply place the_excerpt() there, so you'll only need to add an excerpt to display that text, and if you don't input anything, then nothing will be displayed.

My theme is throwing an error when I try this. Saying I can't modify the header. :Oh crap

Also flagging me when I try to create a custom field. Grrrrr.

It's a Woo Theme.

I messed something up in my functions page that was creating the error for the custom field. Working on that now.

DWB	02-27-2011 04:00 PM

OK... I think the custom field will work, but how do I tell it to call just 1 key (key is called "note")?

If I put the_meta() it calls them all.
