Wordpress: Advanced modifications?

RawAlex · 2005-07-27, 04:26 AM

Actually their code is written fairly well, but the structure is very "hit and miss". Functions are added in any one of about 30 different modules, and while there are some provisions for adding functions (things you can place on a blog page) the system is not very well constructed for allowing external pages to exist within the structure.

If I was only playing with the template (which I have already done a bit with) I wouldn't have an issue. My issue lies more in the structure of how requests are handled and branched, which is truly a hardcode situation. No simple structure is in place to add new page types, just variations on the current existing theme.

The wordpress people gave me a suggestion that I am following along with to see where it goes. I think I can make it work out, but I am not sure that the end results will be truly what I am looking for.
