subtly simple words about …

Since Sphinx only returns ids of items that match the search query, thinking sphinx actually does the work of running a find and retrieving all the records by using a find method and passing all the arguments you sent to the search method to the find query. It passes things like :include and :joins etc but it does not pass conditions so i created a new options called :sql_conditions and  you can pass the normal sql conditions you might want to pass to have joins be filtered etc. Hope it helps and good luck

I looked all over the web and found some links to this but it was not easy to find so i thought i would write a little article about it.

You will see this error:

Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib extensions

This is because in the file class-pclzip which is in your wordpress directory

at ${wordpress_root}/wp-admin/include

wordpress looks for gzopen and now in php that is called gzopen64 so just find all occurances of gzopen and replace it with gzopen64.

Now you can install plugins and themes again. Good luck and hope this helps others.
