Thanks for clarifying the CSS style feature you are proposing. I will be experimenting with this over the next few weeks.

Best regards,

One new user posted a message explaining how wpmathpub failed to configure itself properly. The user was very clear in showing the path details and what he did to solve this error. This type of error caught my attention after 1000 new uers have downloaded my plugin with nearly all having an error free experience.

Sorry but I deleted you by mistake. Please post again if you get a chance. In the mean time, I will try a few combinations on my own. If I find any issue in my config system, I will roll a fix into the next release.

Best regards,

Maybe you have a better idea. What I want is for my equations to show as transparent BG (or at least BG color) while my regular images show with a frame around them.

Adding more style control is a good idea. I’m still wrapping my head around your suggestion with respect to actionable features. For example: below is what the HTML code looks like from Craig’s inline math comment above (with angle brackets removed to insure no rendering action takes place):

img src="http://www.embeddedcomponents.com/blogs/wp-content/plugins/wpmathpub/phpmathpublisher/img/math_965_6427aababa4e7b39af22b31fc6504152.png" style="vertical-align:-35px; display: inline-block ;" alt="S(f)(t)=a_{0}+sum{n=1}{+infty}{a_{n} cos(n omega t)+b_{n} sin(n omega t)}" title="S(f)(t)=a_{0}+sum{n=1}{+infty}{a_{n} cos(n omega t)+b_{n} sin(n omega t)}"

From the code you can see the existing style control calculated on the fly to best fit the surrounding text:

• style=”vertical-align:-35px;
• display: inline-block;

Are you proposing the addition of some class=”id_thing” entries that are configurable as part of the wpmathpub blog plugin?

Best regards,

Ron

In my blog I have my images surrounded by a frame so the math shows up with the frame as well.

Ideas?

What you ask for seems obvious in hindsight, thanks for the suggestion. Control of forground color, background color, and both of these color transparencies, is very “do-able” since all controls are handled by the PHP GD library. The necessary step is to add these color controls as seen on http://www.php.net into the wpmathpub.php plugin code:

imagecolorallocate
imagecolortransparent
imagecolorallocatealpha

I will put this feature request on the list for next release.

Best regards,

Ron

my blog’s background is black, and the theme i am using is trying to put the output in a light grey and is messing things up. is there a way to have the output in white? or any color for that matter….

As you can see from the display, your [pmath ...] tag works fine on my blog. As you point out, I am using Wordpress 2.5.1. I have tested several prior versions but have not yet had a chance to verify compatibility with 2.6 yet. It could take another two weeks before I make this test.

In the meantime I do have a diagnostic version of the plug-in that helps identify potential sources of error based on installation and damaging effects from other plug-ins. I could email this version to you if you like?

Best regards,

Have never used the plugin before so don’t know what to expect. I’m getting

Error: wpmathpub plugin not usable under these conditions: http://www.craigsmaths.com/wp-content/plugins/wpmathpub/phpmathpublisher/img/

for

This is on WP 2.6 so is this a compatibility problem or something else?

Thanks
