medway 0 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hi I'm creating posts in Wordpress (self hosted) and would like to be able to select the category while doing so using the actual name of the category. Is this possible? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lombi 34 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Sure. You make it click the name starting with a space. I just did that a couple of days ago. Basically click " {#ExactCategoryName}" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basically click " {#ExactCategoryName}" Ok I'd tried this a few times already (with and without the space) and it didn't seem to work but will give it a go again. Thanks.

medway 0 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Trying this now but still not getting it. This is what I've got in codeview: click($element offset(<class="selectit">, 9), "Left Click", "No") I dragged a click command in and then used select element and clicked the name (and not the wider container on that row). What I'm not sure of is how to edit that (or just manually) to use the name instead. I've also tried entering the example you gave with my category but I'm getting a syntax error. Doesn't seem to be documentation on the syntax for codeview so just going by looking at what's generated when using node view. When do we use {} as opposed to ()?

LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 { Curly brackets } enclose a function - normally enclosing many other commands, variables inside of it ( parentheses ) enclose parameters or information to set to a variable Quote Link to post Share on other sites

medway 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Btw that search tip for finding functions is really useful, not sure why I never tried it much before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
