I am displaying WP comments on homepage in my index.php file, but the problem I have is that some comments are displayed under each post. The comment number is okay, but the comments are assigned wrong to the post. However when displaying the single page, everything is okay. I checked the IDs of the comments in the DB and it seems to be okay too. Any ideas what's going on? I am using the following code in my index.php to display the comments: <code> <?php global $withcomments; $withcomments = 1; comments_template(); ?> </code> Here is the whole index.php and if it helps here is the actual page. See for example the comment on the latest post from "Linda Walker", it is displayed under each post :-/ P.S. The posts were originally imported from MovableType, I hope it has nothing with that as I used the official import plugin.
|
Seems I fixed it myself, I had to call <code> <?php global $withcomments; $withcomments = 1; comments_template('/comments.php', true); ?> </code> as I am filtering comments by type: <code> <?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=jennygg_comment'); ?> </code>

I have a little problem with my self hosted wordpress blog. the problem is it keeps truncating my feeds even when I have chosen not to in the settings page. one thing to bear in mind is that I use <code> <!--more--> </code> tag in almost all of my posts. I was wondering if it's because of that or something else?! any help would be awesome. thanks
|
Make sure you check the page source of your feed - some browsers will not show the full feed when looking at it raw (as the plain XML file) when using your browser to view http://yourdomain/feed If you look at the raw source the full text should be found in under the "content" tag - Firefox for example will only show the "title" "link" and "description" but hide the content. IE will show the full feed in the browser. Also make sure the full feed is set in the wordpress settings

I'm using a custom query with custom post-types to display a blog-archive for my brothers photography-website. I integrated this code to link to the larger version of the thumbnail. Sadly it doesn't work. Is it because its a custom query? <code> <?php /* Template Name: Archiv */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <section id="content"> <div id="archive"> <?php $args = array( 'post_type' => array('blog'), 'numberposts' => -1, 'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => null, ); $posts = get_posts($args); ?> <?php if ($posts) { foreach ($posts as $post) { setup_postdata($post); $month = mysql2date('F Y', $post->post_date); if ($month != $check) { } $check = $month; ?> <div class="einzelbild einzelbild-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <a href="<?php $thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "medium" ); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?></a> <a href="<?php $thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "medium" ); ?>" class="linkbox-<?php the_ID(); ?> linkbox" style="display:none;"><span class="datum"><?php the_date('M jS'); ?></span><br /><h1 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> </a> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var hide = false; $(".einzelbild-<?php the_ID(); ?>").hover(function(){ if (hide) clearTimeout(hide); $(".linkbox-<?php the_ID(); ?>").fadeIn(); }, function() { hide = setTimeout(function() {$(".linkbox-<?php the_ID(); ?>").fadeOut(500);}, 100); }); $(".linkbox-<?php the_ID(); ?>").hover(function(){ if (hide) clearTimeout(hide); }, function() { hide = setTimeout(function() {$(".linkbox-<?php the_ID(); ?>").fadeOut(500);}, 100); }); }); </script> <?php } } ?> </div> </section> <script> $(function(){ var $container = $('#archive'); $container.imagesLoaded( function(){ $container.masonry({ itemSelector : '.einzelbild', columnWidth: 10, isAnimated: true, animationOptions: { duration: 750, easing: 'linear', queue: false } }); }); });</script> <?php include 'sidebar-blog.php'; ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> </code>

In your code you are linking to an image using this code: <code> wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "medium" ); </code> So what you are doing is showing the medium sized image as well as linking to the medium image. What you need to do is link to the full sized image: <code> wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "full" ); </code> Also <code> wp_get_attachment_image_src </code> returns the following: <code> array ( [0] => url [1] => width [2] => height ) </code> So this: <code> <a href="<?php $thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "medium" ); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?></a> </code> needs to become: <code> <?php $thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "full" ); ?> <a href="<?php echo $thumbnail_src[0]; ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?></a> </code>

I read the following and try to apply this scheme to my website running WordPress: http://code.google.com/intl/fr-CA/web/ajaxcrawling/index.html If you visit my website at http://www.visualise.ca/ you will see that it loads the posts within the home page and the url becomes http://visualise.ca/#!/anne-au-cherry when this post is loaded. A static version of the same content is available for the crawler at http://visualise.ca/anne-au-cherry but if a visitor using a browser visits it he will be redirected to http://visualise.ca/#!/anne-au-cherry (this is done with javascript). In order to provide the crawler with the needed <code> ?_escaped_fragment_= </code> I used a WordPress hack I've found on the net: http://www.wordpress-fr.net/support/sujet-54810-add-action-parse-request and now the GoogleBot can see the content of my AJAX powered pages. I thought it was all done. But when I paste a post link to Facebook (i.e.) it is unable to read the content of the page so I guessed that my website isn't really respecting the scheme described in the Google documentation since Facebook is supporting it (If you paste http://twitter.com/#!/gablabelle it will work). So since I'm using the jQuery.address plugin to get my hashbang (#!) I went to their website and downloaded their sample files to see what were the differences between their files and mine and realized that they were probably using a php function to create the needed HTML snapshots: https://github.com/bartaz/jquery-address/blob/master/samples/crawling/index.php because this is why, I guess, Facebook can't read mine. <code> <?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ (E_NOTICE | E_WARNING)); $fragment = $_REQUEST['_escaped_fragment_']; $file = 'data/' . (isset($fragment) && $fragment != '' && $fragment != '/' ? preg_replace('/\//', '', $fragment) : 'home') . '.xml'; $re = '/(^<[^>]*>)|(\n|\r\n|\t|\s{2,4})*/'; $handle = fopen($file, 'r'); if ($handle != false) { $content = preg_replace($re, '', fread($handle, filesize($file))); fclose($handle); } else { $content = 'Page not found!'; header(php_sapi_name() == 'cgi' ? 'Status: 404' : 'HTTP/1.1 404'); } ?> </code> So my guess is that I could maybe use a similar php function to serv the HTML snapshots instead of using the WordPress hack but I would need to adapt it to WordPress. The problem is that I'm no programmer and I did my best so far. My post are in this format: http://visualise.ca/#!/anne-au-cherry and the static version is available at http://visualise.ca/anne-au-cherry (Where anne-au-cherry is the slug of the post and changes depending on the page we are viewing). So my question is could someone confirm that I'm on the right path and if possible also help creating that php function? Many thanks for your time and help!

What I did actually is to not use hashbangs like WraithKenny suggested. Using the jQuery address plugin with the $.address.state(value) method in order to set the base path of the website that is utilized in HTML5 state management and the $.address.value(value) method in order to set the current deep linking value I was able to do what I wished for. http://visualise.ca/ Posts (click on an image thumbnail) are loaded via AJAX and the URL changes at the same time, the posts exist on their own using, of course, the same permalink structure so it's fully crawlable. The only problem will be for older browsers that will, I think (needs to be verified), still see the hashbangs. Since I'm not a developper it took me much time to understand. :-/ But I'm quite happy with the results now ;-) jQuery address: http://www.asual.com/jquery/address/

We would want a user to login and be presented with a form that they would potentially have to submit multiple times (disclosures of any industry relationships, one form per disclosure). The challenge is how do we capture and display what has been previously entered by a user when they log back in and give them a chance to delete or edit previous entries without investing in a ton of custom coding because we have a very tight deadline on this project. Has anyone seen WordPress do data collection and management in this manner on a per-user basis and if so, which plugins or other add ins were used?
|
The Formidable Pro plugin (paid) does what I was describing. It allows a logged-in user to submit a form multiple times and also will display a list of entries and a link to edit each one. Gravity and Wufoo don't match up.

This is less a technical question, and more a ’how would you do it’ question that I’m hoping the more experienced users may have some advice on… (I still think its a valid question for this forum) I’m creating a Flash application which allows users to upload an image, and then add a product to the shopping basket with that image on it (WPeC plugin is my shopping basket - I'm going to need to add a product to my shopping basket from within the flash application). My problem is this… many users will upload images, but not all will actually complete the order. When a user orders a product, I need to know which image on my server is their image! I thought about naming each image uploaded with the users Session Id, then when someone orders a customised product I would somehow find the session id and match them up. I ruled this out because a user might upload 3 or 4 images – each image would have the same Session Id so I wouldn’t be able to tell which image they wanted to use. Knowing what I’m trying to do, do you have any advice on how to go about this? Before I even start to work out the technical side of things I’d like to get a plan together of matching images to orders. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! Thank you Dean

OK I head that WP can now host more sites using one installation. I host my blog on my own computer using MAMP and latest WP. But I can't find option to create another blog?
|
To achieve this simply, make sure your WordPress version is 3.0+. It is always recommended that you have the latest. First you need to activate the network: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network Note that, as you are using a local installation, you won't have the choice to create your network in sub-directories as subdomains won't work. By reading and following the information in the link above, you'll get what I mean.

I have a site that has two different bodies of content: more formal content (using various different custom post types) and a blog (using a blog post type). These two different bodies of content use the same taxonomies—but I would like to have two different versions of the taxonomy archives: one for the formal content, and one for blog content. For example, for a term science in the taxonomy subjects I'd like to have both mysite.com/subjects/science AND mysite.com/blog/subjects/science (or mysite.com/subjects/science/blog ) What's the best way to accomplish this in Wordpress? I don't want to use pages, because terms are being added all the time. I just want some way to be able to provide two archive templates for taxonomy terms.
|
My solution at the moment is to use a GET variable to request a different page template: Regular version of taxonomy page: mysite.com/subjects/science Blog version of taxonomy page: mysite.com/subjects/science?view=blog To handle the ?view=blog variable, I add this conditional to the top of taxonomy.php (or taxonomy-subjects.php and any other taxonomy-{slug} that I want to have an alternate version of): <code> /**************************************************** Tell Wordpress to fetch a different template if our URL ends in ?view=blog ****************************************************/ $view = $_GET["view"]; if ( $view == "blog" ) { get_template_part( 'blog-archive' ); exit(); } </code> Then, in the blog-archive.php template, I adjust the query_vars of $wp_query to output a loop with only blog posts. <code> // adjust $wp_query->query_vars to taste $newloop = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, array( 'post_type' => 'blog', 'posts_per_page' => 5 )); $the_query = new WP_Query ($newloop); while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); //output your posts however you like endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); </code> This works for me at the moment; the only unfortunate aspect is that the URLs show ?view=blog instead of nice /blog. I borrowed the main $_GET[] idea from the answer here: stackexchange-url ("How can I dynamically load another page template to provide an alternate layout of the posts?"). (I wonder if the latter can be done more intuitively with $the_query = $wp_query-> set('post_type', 'blog'); but this seemed to turn $the_query into a non-object and give an error.)

I am considering to develop a new portfolio website in the form of a single page website. I do not know if this is a new concept, but I see it becoming popular for portfolio websites, it is also quite a handy form. Now I want to create the about, portfolio, contact on one page, and have a normal blog on another page. So actually there is one single page, and one blog page. To give you an example of the single page, here is a link to a tutorial that creates such a single page. But this is just a normal static page. http://tutorialzine.com/2010/02/html5-css3-website-template/ Now is the best way to go about this to just create a single page, and have all my content displayed there just formatted in one big pile of html. Or is there a more elegant solution to do this. Maybe with several custom post types on a single page, or is this not possible or not efficient. I am pretty new to wordpress, sorry for if this is a stupid Q
|
here's how I would set things up, not necessarily the correct / best / only way. create a home page, blog page, about page, contact page, etc.. as individual pages. create a custom post type for my portfolio items. use posts as the blog posts. set static front page to my home page, blog page as the posts page. create a front-page.php template, this will load whatever content I have in home by default. use get_page and wp_query to load all of my pages and portfolio items into the template. use a caching plugin to make it all nice and speedy

I need to apply a certain style to every second widget in my sidebar, and I'm reluctant to use :nth-child due to cross-browser compatibility issues. Is there a bit of PHP that will allow me to apply a class to every other widget?
|
Use the <code> dynamic_sidebar_params </code> filter. The following code adds classes to say whether the widget is odd or even, what index it is in the sidebar, and what sidebar it's in. Note : the <code> str_replace("class=\"", "class=\"$class ", $before_widget); </code> code below depends on your <code> before_widget </code> using double quotes -- it probably should be done with a regular expression to handle single quotes as well. I just haven't ever got around to it. <code> function my_filter_dynamic_sidebar_params($params){ static $sidebar_widget_count = array(); $sidebar_id = $params[0]["id"]; if (! isset($sidebar_widget_count[$sidebar_id])){ $sidebar_widget_count[$sidebar_id] = 0; } $before_widget = $params[0]['before_widget']; $class = $sidebar_widget_count[$sidebar_id] % 2 ? "widget-odd" : "widget-even"; $class .= " widget-index-" . $sidebar_widget_count[$sidebar_id]; $class .= " widget-in-$sidebar_id"; $before_widget = str_replace("class=\"", "class=\"$class ", $before_widget); $params[0]['before_widget'] = $before_widget; $sidebar_widget_count[$sidebar_id]++; return $params; } add_filter("dynamic_sidebar_params", "my_filter_dynamic_sidebar_params"); </code>

Sometimes I forget to empty my debug.log file (or that it exists) and after trying to get around a bug, I find it having simply too much content to open it in ex. the basic Windows Text Editor. Part of my wp-config.php file: <code> error_reporting( E_ALL ); define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); // file: /core_root/wp-content/debug.log define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true ); </code> Question: Is there a way to do this via Wordpress, or do I have to do it with basic php functions?

After that its started to work fine... so this problem is now fixed...

<code> wp() </code> is quite essential function. It resides in <code> functions.php </code> file (don't confuse with <code> functions.php </code> in theme, different thing) and I don't think you can load WP without passing <code> require </code> directive for that file at some point. So your install seems very broken - either <code> functions.php </code> file in core is damaged or something else is broken and makes it skip loading that file.

If I call the following function (on a page template, e.g. page-home.php) before the loop, nothing is returned. If I call it during or after the loop, the expected values are returned. Is there a way to access these meta fields before the loop runs? <code> function home_content() { global $post; $headline = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'top-headline', true); $body = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'top-body', true); $return = '<h4>' . $headline . '</h4>'; $return .= '<p>' . $body . '</p>'; echo $return; } </code>
|
You can get it by calling global $wp_query and assigning post-> ID to a variable. <code> <?php global $wp_query; $postid = $wp_query->post->ID; echo get_post_meta($postid, 'top-headline', true); ?> </code>

i can make an easy template for displaying custom post types. but what i'd like to do is add some editable text to the top of my loop. for example: Hey wow, we really make cool products. I think it'd be nice if this text wasn't had coded into the template. any ideas? product 1 product 2 product 3 and so on. what is the easiest way to do that? is it possible to attach meta to a post "type"? i know you can sort of do something like that for categories/tags/tax, etc. but for a "type"? should i make it a theme option? would i be better served by making a post type and then displaying it through a taxonomy? i do want the resulting permalink to be mysite.com/products
|
I believe wp_options is the best solution for this. It's easily editable in an theme option page, but still you must hand code a new option each time you register a new Custom Post Type.You can use these get_option update_option Creating Options Page

Is there anything I need to watch out for or modify? Is there a tool which might do this more easily? I'm afraid of database issues (it will be using the database instance as it is now) or calls from within the blog itself not resolving.

I created a non-hierarchical custom post type and, by default, it's sorted by date published. I know I can reorder them by Title with <code> query_posts() </code> in the archive template: <code> global $query_string; query_posts( $query_string . '&orderby=title&order=ASC' ); </code> but it takes another SQL query on each archive page. Is there a way to register the sort order natively, eventually to get posts sorted by title even in the admin?
|
Try... <code> add_filter("posts_orderby", "my_orderby_filter", 10, 2); function my_orderby_filter($orderby, &$query){ global $wpdb; //figure out whether you want to change the order if (get_query_var("post_type") == "my_post_type") { return "$wpdb->posts.post_title ASC"; } return $orderby; } </code>

I'm having trouble passing a table variable to $wpdb-> prepare(); Here is functioning code: <code> $table = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $blog_id ) . 'my_table'; $voters = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE user_id= %d AND post_id = %d;", $user_ID, $post->ID )); </code> This works great. However I think I should also be including my table in the prepare statement. But, it breaks when I change it to this: <code> $table = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $blog_id ) . 'my_table'; $voters = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM %s WHERE user_id= %d AND post_id = %d;", $table, $user_ID, $post->ID )); </code> Any ideas on why it might be breaking?
|
The prepare() method escapes %s. The second piece of code you listed breaks because quotation marks are added to the table name, hence it doesn't match what's in the DB. The first piece of code works because it's a straight string replacement hence matching the name of the table in the database. What is the error message you are getting? HTH

I'm trying to load the jQuery UI library into a WordPress plugin using this enqueue statement: <code> wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core'); </code> The jQuery library loads fine, but the ui-core is MIA. The only way I can get ui-core functions to fire is to load the library with a static include like this: <code> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.15/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> </code> What am I missing?
|
jquery is enqueued by default on admin side. So, it may not be loading due to your <code> wp_enqueue_script </code> statement. Are you using <code> wp_enqueue_script </code> inside some action hook? Because you have to. I use it like this: <code> add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts-options_page-{page}', 'myplugin_admin_scripts' ); function myplugin_admin_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core'); } </code>

I have migrate my web site from Joomla to WordPress. All are fine, I have create my Rewrites in htaccess to stop 404 from old URLs but I have problem with pagination. In Joomla web site, I had 6 posts per page, but now in WordPress I need to display 10 posts per page. That's fine too. The problem is that, in WordPress site now the very very last pages return 404 error because of the 10 posts per page I use now. i.e.: In Joomla to get the 60th article I had to go on page 10, but now page 10 does not exists anymore, because In WordPress the very very last page now is the page 6. In that case, I will try to access the 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th page I get a 404 HTTP Error. How can I fix that?
|
The only way to really know if it's going to be a 404 is to let WordPress try to load it and check results before WP sends headers. If you put this in your functions.php ( not on a live site! use a dev mirror. ), then visit a page that throws a 404, you can see the contents of the <code> $wp_query </code> object produced, <code> is_404 </code> will be true. By inspecting this you can determine what you want to do. <code> add_filter('template_redirect', 'wpse25745_inspect_query' ); function wpse25745_inspect_query() { global $wp_query; echo '<pre>'; print_r($wp_query); echo '</pre>'; die(); } </code> Following on that, you can redirect somewhere like this: <code> add_filter('template_redirect', 'wpse25745_inspect_query' ); function wpse25745_inspect_query() { global $wp_query; if( $wp_query->is_404 && $some_other_conditions_met == 'foo' ): wp_redirect( home_url(),301 ); exit; endif; } </code>

In most of the posts on my site, embedded images link to the actual image file. I'm also using Web-App mode via WPTouch. In web-app mode images linked to their larger versions shouldn't open; since Web-App mode has no back button, a user can follow a link to a image and become "stranded" there. I'm also using W3 Total Cache, which appends the param string "?9d7bd4" to all my images. This makes sure that if you change your browser cache policies all users immediately see that change. However, apparently the the appended image string allows for the images to be clicked on and stranded. Interferes with whatever is stripping the image links. All BraveNewCode can tell me is try "disabling Browser Cache in W3TC" which I obviously I'm not interested in doing. Suggestions?
|
Best way to avoid this is to go to "Browser Cache" and uncheck "Prevent caching of objects after settings change" under "Media and Other Files"

How can in wordpress, one sell the "create post" option To elaborate more. One has to pay an amount before he can make create a post on the wordpress site. MORE ELABORATION Suppose a person pays $20, he gets to write a post on wordpress. This is just like a paid listing website. If the person wants to create another post, he has to pay another 20 Bucks.

As per comments you can make use of user meta functions to store user-specific information and use capabilities (or some more simple check) to control if user can create a post.

I recently updated my site to wordpress 3.2.1 automatically. Now I tried to manage my sidebar widgets, and noticed I can no longer drag and drop the widgets around. If I look into my browser-console, I notice that the page is unable to load jQuery. Weird: it appends my root-url to the jquery-url, like so: <code> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://meanderend.dixis.com//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js?ver=3.2.1"></script> </code> So it is normal that it is not found. How can I fix this. Is there something wrong in my configuration? Or is this a bug? Then it should be general, for everybody, no?

Your theme may be written badly and replace the correct jQuery. Switch to TwentyEleven to check for this. If this doesn’t help, turn off all plugins and re-enable them step by step.

There are two implications here, one first more serious than the other: 1) if you're in development and update your add_role code, you must first remove_role() 2) once you have it right, you should never have to run that code again. So typically I have been putting my add_role() inside a wp_loaded action hook. And since I'm in development, I've also added a remove_role() before my add_role so I can be sure that if I modify my list of caps, it will actually take effect. But clearly this is now being run every time a page of the blog is being accessed. Okay, I could put it in an admin-only action, or I could create a plugin page maybe under Users or Tools where this role can be created once. I guess I'm hoping there's a simpler, more elegant solution out there. I don't imagine there's a run_once kind of action is there? Or is the best practice just to add the role and then use add_cap() a bunch of times? And even then I imagine add_cap is accessing the db. Just thinking in terms of the best way to reduce unncessary db access. What are your best practices?
|
The user roles and capabilities are saved in the database so once you have you have used <code> add_role() </code> its saved and then next load WordPress will know that role just like the built in roles. Now if you look at the function <code> add_role() </code> more specifically at line 141 you will see that it only saves the role and capabilities in the database if the var <code> $use_db </code> is set to true (which he is by default) so you can simply change it before you call your <code> add_role() </code> function and the role won't be saved. try: <code> //globalize $wp_roles global $wp_roles; //set use_db to flase $wp_roles->use_db = false; //then add your role $wp_roles->add_role( $role, $display_name, $capabilities ); </code> Update: If its in a test/development environment then i see no downside, but if you are on a live environment then you save the time it take to create that on role every load. As for best practice run once, if in a plugin you should use <code> register_activation_hook </code> and for any thing else i use a simple custom made conditional function: <code> function run_once($key){ $test_case = get_option('run_once'); if (isset($test_case[$key]) && $test_case[$key]){ return false; }else{ $test_case[$key] = true; update_option('run_once',$test_case); return true; } } **usage:** if (run_once('add_user_role')){ //do you stuff and it will only run once } </code>

I have two custom post types. One of them, I would like the author role to be able to publish. The other one, I would like for them to "Submit for Review". Any suggestions?
|
When the post type is registered, http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type one can specify custom 'capabilities'. eg I have an events post type, with event as a base for the capabilities, so automatically, there is a matching set like the page/post capabilties. Then one can use justin tadlock's members plugin to assign capabilities to roles. Assign 'create' but not 'publish' to the 'review' post type, but full rights to the other type. Simple.

Currently i'm working on a simple WordPress Plugin. I know within the Plugin i need to write my strings as <code> __() </code> or <code> _e() </code> and call <code> load_plugin_textdomain() </code> but i wonder how to localize the Plugin Description. Example: This is not the Plugin i'm working on. It's just an example to show what i mean.
|
Add two extra headers: <code> Text Domain: your-text-domain Domain Path: /languages </code> Then use the plugin Codestyling Localization to create your language files. Usually it'll find the description.

in the codepad link you can find what I am using to edit profile from the front-end. http://codepad.org/QJjDEA7p The code is working (which I got from stackexchange-url ("How to edit a user profile on the front end?") and change some things for me to work correctly). I have installed Simple Local Avatar plugin to allow avatar uploading, but how can I modify the code to have it also from the front-end ? I found these below, which I tested, showed the upload button, did not showed the current avatar and didn't let me to change it. Thank you for your help on this. <code> do_action('show_user_profile'); do_action('edit_user_profile'); do_action('personal_options_update'); do_action('edit_user_profile_update'); </code> UPDATE There goes a 50 bounty for a working example. Unfortunately I can not get Bainternet's example to work that I tested with User Avatar plugin also, and I am really stuck with this issue can't finding the solution.

You only need to of these hooks <code> show_user_profile </code> to show the extra fields and <code> personal_options_update </code> to update, try: <code> <?php ob_start(); include_once("../../../wp-load.php"); get_header(); /* Get user info. */ global $current_user, $wp_roles; get_currentuserinfo(); /* Load the registration file. */ require_once( ABSPATH .

It's not hard i think, but i run out of ideas... In template file I have code like this; <code> $current = $post->ID; $parent = $post->post_parent; $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$parent.'&parent='.$parent.'&sort_column=post_title&title_li&hierarchical=0'); $front_id = get_option('page_on_front'); </code> I cant figure out how will statement to determine if <code> $front_id </code> is in <code> $pages </code> array look like ! thx for Your time!
|
If you just need to remove, or ignore, it from <code> $pages </code> , use the <code> exclude </code> argument instead; <code> $pages = wp_list_pages( array( 'exclude' => get_option( 'page_on_front' ), 'child_of' => $parent, 'parent' => $parent, 'sort_column' => 'post_title', 'title_li' => '', 'hierarchical' => '0' ) ); </code> I've used <code> wp_list_pages </code> as I assume this is the function you've intended to use ( <code> get_pages </code> does not have a <code> title_li </code> argument). If that isn't what you were after, then just loop over the pages to determine if it's there; <code> foreach ( $pages as $page ) { if ( $front_is_here = ( $page->ID == $front_id ) ) break; } if ( $front_is_here ) { // front page is among pages } else { // front page is *not* among pages } </code>

I love stackexchange's tag subscription feature. Now i'm receiving email notifications only for the topics i'm interested in. I would like to have this feature in my wordpress site. Is there any good tag subscription plugin available?. If there is no plugin available why not WA experts create one and submit it in the stackexchange-url ("WPSE Plugin Repository")?
|
If you're willing to use an outside provider, you can add the tag feed to Feedburner. First get the tag feed: <code> http://www.example.com/?tag=tagname&amp;feed=rss2 </code> Then to to feedburner.com and create a feed, then enable "Email Subscriptions" (under the "Publicize" tab). I've done this, and it works well.

I want to validate this deprecated function: <code> add_filter('user_has_cap', array(&$this, 'filter_user_has_cap'), 10, 3); </code> It needs to use roles or capatibilies, so I guess 10 is the admin level, so I could use "edit_pages": <code> add_filter('user_has_cap', array(&$this, 'filter_user_has_cap'), 'edit_pages', 3); </code> But what is argument "3"? Thank you Oliver
|
First of all, it's not the add_filter() call that you're supposed to be modifying, but the callback: 'filter_user_has_cap', i.e. go to where that method is defined and change the user level to 'edit_pages'. Fixing deprecated notices is easier with the Log Deprecated Notices plugin.

I have a client who wants their blog to display both Posts and Tweets in chronological order. These should be mixed into the same feed. I didn't find any plugins that accomplished this, although there may be one I missed which someone could recommend. I was thinking to pull the tweets and store them as a custom post type, and then just pull both post types when displaying, but Twitter's TOS does not allow the storing of the data. Only option I see is to pull the tweets on page load, and then write a custom function to merge the two chronologically, which seems like a bit of work. Also, as far a caching the tweets, how can I go about this, considering that Twitter does not allow for storage of this information? Does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to accomplish this? Also the most efficient? Thanks in advanced.
|
I've done this with Twitter Tools . Basically it hooks up the blog to a Twitter feed, and for each new tweet creates a blog post. You can put twitter posts in a separate category (or add tags), and use that to style twitter-posts differently from regular posts, hide the comments field, whatever. Hope this helps - good luck!

This is probably totally off the wall, but I want to create a new wordpress plugin, that will have its own subset of templates and pages. Whats the best way to do this? The plugin will be used on three pages of the wordpress site. It will use the same theme, though It will have three different page templates. Is it possible to group the templates together in a sub-folder inside the theme or plugin. The pages will be static ie dont need to be available to wp-admin. How it currently is..... option a -> templates in theme root, using wordpress page admin. Below is two ideas of how i'd like it to be.... option b -> sub folder in theme with static pages (No need to create/edit in wp-admin). option c -> self contained templates inside plugin folder using current theme, and custom filters/ actions with static pages (No need to create/edit in wp-admin). This plugin is essentially a section of the wordpress site grouped together that uses the wordpress objects and database. It will have its own loops and pages. <code> /wp-content/plugins/mycustomplugin/mycustomplugin.php /wp-content/plugins/mycustomplugin/templates/default.php /wp-content/plugins/mycustomplugin/templates/template2.php /wp-content/plugins/mycustomplugin/templates/mycustomplugin-loop.php </code> or <code> /wp-content/plugins/mycustomplugin/mycustomplugin.php /wp-content/themes/mytheme/mycustomplugin/mycustomplugin.php /wp-content/themes/mytheme/mycustomplugin/template2.php /wp-content/themes/mytheme/mycustomplugin/mycustomplugin-loop.php </code>
|
If this is a plugin you should really keep the files in your plugin folder. Alternatively you can use the theme folder under it's own name separate from the active theme. I have seen the latter done and it works fine but you don't want some unsuspecting users to activate it by mistake. You should never write to the active theme or any theme the user has installed.

I'm in middle of re-building a website that's coded in a rather terrible custom CMS. Since the site is essentially a blog, I've been doing it in Wordpress. One thing I'd like to do is be able to add a few "related links" to each post. These links are not the same thing as "related posts". When a new article is posted, I'd like the post author to be able to attach a handful of links from other sites (e.g. an article on nytimes.com, something from other blogs, etc). Each related link item would consist of the original URL, the Title, the Author(s), Source, and a brief description. See image for an example: Since I don't have enough rep points (yet), here's an image link instead: http://i.stack.imgur.com/nlhbt.png My first thought was I could use Custom Fields - but this would quickly fall apart if there were multiple links. My current thought is to have each link as a separate Custom Post Type, but then I'm stumped on ways to link them to the post it should be shown with. If only WP had an auto-complete field that I could use for the article title. I'm using Magic Fields for certain categories, but it doesn't look like it would work here. Is there anything I could use for this? I'm not very familiar with the WP core/plugins development, but I'm great with PHP/MySQL, so I don't mind having to code something up. I couldn't find anything by searching so I'm asking here. Any ideas for plugins/implementations that would work?

I need to add a class of "two-sidebars" to the regular bunch of WP classes that are generated by <code> <?php body_class(); ?>> </code> The reason I need to do this is I'm integrating WP into a Drupal install, and need to keep the "two-sidebars" class for style reasons for the Drupal part of the page. What's the best way? jQuery? Is it possible to hook into body_class?
|
You can add to the function simply by placing the desired class as the first parameter like so <code> body_class('class-name') </code> . If you'd like a little more flexibility you can hook into it using <code> add_filter('body_class','my_class_names') </code> . You can read more here .

For additional security, the suggestion is made to move the wp-config.php up one level. Can this be done after the site has already been launched? Any potential issues in doing this? Are there an restrictions/suggestions on what the new folder should be called?
|
You can safely move it as far as I know.... but what do you mean folder? Up one level would already be a folder.... if your site is in html, or public_html or whatever, you place the wp-config file in whatever folder holds your html or public_html folder like if your path is /home/content/u/s/e/user/html/ And your WP is in html, the wp-config would go in user, the next folder up which is not web accessible. WP will automatically look for it there If you are on shared hosting, you probably can't do that anyway And if you have WP in a subdirectory, there would be no point in moving wp-config, as moving it up a level would still put it in a web accessible directory

I would need to simplify the "upload new image" interface for our Authors : basically, hide a few fields that will only confuse my wordpress "authors" (like the "Description" and "Alt" text inputs). Administrators and Editors need to see these, though. How can i implement that hiding/showing inputs according to the user's priviledges?
|
You will need to hook into <code> attachment_fields_to_edit </code> and unset them for a role. You can use <code> current_user_can('author') </code> http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can Example to remove image alt field <code> function remove_caption($form_fields) { if (current_user_can('author')){ $form_fields['image_alt']['input'] = 'hidden'; return $form_fields; }} add_filter('attachment_fields_to_edit','remove_caption', 15, 2); </code> My initial post used <code> unset </code> but I tried it and it did not work, from the example in this post: stackexchange-url ("How can I remove fields in the attachment editor?") , not sure why, instead the example above works using <code> hidden </code> .

I have a custom post type of 'events' which has a meta key 'event_date' Im using the following to retrieve those posts and arrange them by 'event_date' <code> global $wpdb; $today = date('Y/m/d', strtotime("now")); $events = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT posts.id, posts.post_title, meta.meta_value FROM {$wpdb->prefix}postmeta as meta LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}posts as posts ON (meta.post_id = posts.id) WHERE (meta.meta_key = 'event_date' AND meta.meta_value >= '{$today}' AND posts.post_status='publish' and posts.post_date < NOW()) ORDER BY meta.meta_value "); </code> The above works fine however i would like to show 'events' from only certain categories (say category id '5'). How can i modify the query to achive this? Any help would be appreciated :)
|
First, you shouldn't use <code> NOW() </code> in select queries since <code> NOW() </code> returns the current date and time to the split second. In other words: This query will never land in the cache. And you can use the WP_Query with filter of <code> posts_where </code> eg: <code> function filter_event_where( $where = '' ) { $date = date('Y-m-d'); $where .= " AND posts.post_date < '".$date."'"; return $where; } add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_event_where' ); $today = date('Y/m/d', strtotime("now")); $query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'event_date', //used for order 'orderby' => 'meta_value', //used for order 'post_type' => 'event', 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'event_date', 'value' => $today, 'compare' => '>=' ) ) )); remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_event_where' ); </code>

I'm trying to build a wp plugin, which will basically add some text for every post, in the post itself, I'm afraid that the codex is too large for me to even know what to look for, so I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Edit: As per request, the info should be added to the post's text on the database, at the end of the post, it's not static, it's a random embed from a tube site, based on a query I run on the tubesite.
|
Your best bet is to use the <code> the_content </code> filter hook and add your content to the post "on the fly" for ex: <code> add_filter('the_content','add_my_extra_content'); function add_my_extra_content($content){ $my_extra = "<h5>this is the extra content</h5>'; //add before post content // return $my_extra.$content; //add after post content return $content.$my_extra.; } </code>

I have created the custom post type - products withfuncionality like pages - I have to create hierarchy. f.e: Chairs: Oak Chair Nice Chair The weird thing happens with wp_nav_menu(). When I open the first level page Chairs and display all the Chairs childrens in theme, the nav menu for the li item Products, gets the .current-menu-item class, but when I open the child page f.e. Oak Chair, the class disapears. Why is that and how to set .current-menu-item class also when child page is opened? This same problem happens again :( WP Version 3.2.1 the ancestor-class .current-products-ancestor is not setted up :(
|
Use this selector: <code> .current-products-ancestor </code> ... to change the styles on that menu.

Sorry for this but I am sure this is a duplicate question, but I have been searching, but I cannot find a suitable answer for this question. I hope you still can help. I want to create a website with a few static pages, and a blog. Now on one of the static pages, the portfolio page, I want to have all of my work in boxes in a list. Just like you would have blog posts. Now I not want to create a post for each of the work I have done, because it will mingle with the blog I guess. Is there another option on WP to have snippets of content, just as posts, which could be loaded into a page. Or should I just create the whole portfolio page just as a big static page.
|
You have to create Custom Post Type, I've done it for the very first time using this tutorial . Basically, you have to add "a few" lines to functions.php and then add your portfolio items as posts in new custom post type (it will be available in your admin panel). I hope it helps :)

When viewing a list of all standard post or pages there are convient quick edit and bulk edit functions to edit author, template, status, dates, etc... Is there an easy to enable similar quick edit and bulk edit tools on Custom Post types? For example going to: ../wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page select all checkboxes, select edit from drop down, click apply, you get options for Author, Parent, Template, Comments, Status, but none of those show up for ../wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=mycustomposttype
|
Make sure that show_ui and show_in_menu are set to true when the post type is enabled. then all the usual post/pages features will be available. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type Also make sure that those features are explicitly declared as by the CPT as supported.

I will describe here steps I made to make my galleries for my first WP theme. I wanted to have a few links in my menu which will take user to page with thumbnails. Each thumbnail takes user to gallery with bunch of horizontally displayed images. First, in my functions.php file I've added new size for my icons: <code> add_image_size( 'wide-image-icon', 200, 150, true ); </code> Then, I've made my template file for gallery category (lets call it Gallery1) and category "Gallery1". In my <code> gallery1.php </code> template file I used query for posts with galleries: <code> query_posts(array('category_name'=>'Gallery1','posts_per_page'=>-1)) </code> Then, in posts loop I've displayed my gallery icons (which are featured images of posts): <code> the_post_thumbnail('wide-image-icon'); </code> So now, after creating new page with "Gallery1" template, I can add post, select "Gallery1" category for it, add pictures using standard "Insert gallery", choose one as featured image and I'm good to go. The problem is that's not universal way of doing this. What if I would like to make another gallery page (Gallery2). Then I need to make new template file, create new category, change category name in query inside template file, add new page with this template attached to it. How do you do it? I'd also like to ask about some admin side improvements for gallery. I've seen themes where there was a completely new tab inside admin area where you saw all galleries, you could easily change images order, add/remove galleries etc. Right now on my website I add my news ( I use the same system here ), galleries, blog posts and normal pages like "Bio" as posts only which is definitely not good. PS. Any articles, video tutorials, books or tips and tricks are welcome. @edit: How can I manage display of my galleries on admin side? I'd like to remove whole editor and leave just pictures if you know what I mean.
|
This is all sorts of wrong, you need to first decide if you want to use posts, pages or custom post types. You alluded at the end that you wanted a new tab like you have seen in some themes, this would be the right way to do it using Custom Post Types. You can learn how to create them here, http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types#Custom_Types http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type After that you can create a template file for your post type that is specific to how you want it to look. For instance say you created a CPT called "Gallery", your theme file can be <code> single-gallery.php </code> . There you can use the loop anyway you want to display and style your photos, and every post made in this post type (Gallery) will use that theme file. To answer your second question, when you register a new custom post type there are parameters, one of them can enable or disable the editor. The one your looking for is <code> supports --> 'editor' </code> By default to manage the post's photos you click on Add Photo---> Gallery--> there you find the management options. If you want to customize a new photo management "console" you will have to make another question as it would be to complicated to go into details here, I have seen them but I'm not entirely sure what the best method is to accomplish this.

I'm trying to create sidebar in my wordpress admin. This is because I'm trying to make my wordpress admin look like my front end. My front end theme has sidebar in the right side. So i would like to display the same sidebar in my admin area. I know its possible by editing wordpress core files. But if i update my wordpress core in the future then all my works will be wasted. So i'm trying to find some alternate ways. Is there any wordpress admin hook available out there to edit admin body, like editing admin header(admin_head) ? I respect and appreciate everyone's comments/answers. So please help me. Thanks to all

It's a bad idea to try to make the wp-admin area look like the front-end. It's an uphill battle. Try using my Front-end Editor plugin: it allows editing widgets directly from the front-end etc.

I created a new template page with code to allow front-end posting. Everything works great, with tags, post meta and image uploading (as featured image). I have seen many codes about front-end post editing, but even though I tried to figure it out I can not successfully make it to work. I took as example this stackexchange-url ("How can I edit a post from the frontend?") and placed it in single.php with no luck. I guess the right way to have it, is to have an EDIT link below the post and there will be appear a new php template that contains the edit form when it is clicked. Is this correct? Secondly, how can I update the featured image I added from the front-end ? Thank you for your help.

I'm new to Wordpress and am a little confused with which Wordpress user types can access plugin functionality? As administator I know I can activate (and deactivate) plugins. I can access their settings through the dashboard. However, this doesn't seem to be the case for the editor user. Which plugins settings (if any) are editable for an editor? The reason for me asking is because I want to manage my clients sites, but there may be some plugin settings that I will want my clients to use. I am assuming that the best way of working will be me as administrator and my clients as editors.
|
By default only super admins/administrators can edit plugin/theme settings. http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Capability_vs._Role_Table If you want to give access to plugin/theme settings (or other stuff) for an editor you can add a capability to a role. stackexchange-url ("How can I allow the Editor Role to change Theme Settings?")

Probably it can by reverse engineering, but is there any easier way of doing this?
|
Quite simply put there is no easy way to make a plugin that's made for WordPress to work without WordPress. The amount of effort to convert a plugin is dependant on the complexity of the plugin and on how much it integrates with WordPress. Most plugins will make use of native WP functions, DB tables, hooks and filters. There is a lot there that you would have to consider. Either way you look at it any plugin to make it work standalone would require a lot of time coding, to be honest I just wouldn't bother. You would be better finding scripts that work standalone and do the functions you are after or build one from scratch for your needs.

I have a custom field. I would like to change the text of that custom field after x days. I want something like this: <code> if ( published post is more than 90 days old ) { echo "your post is more than 90 days old"; } else { echo "your post is less than 90 days old"; } </code> Can anyone help me to achieve this? Thanks.
|
You shouldn't need to use a meta field for this logic. In the loop <code> $post->post_date </code> holds when the post is published. From there you can determine if the date is 90 days old: <code> $datetime = strtotime($post->post_date); if( $datetime < ( time() - ( 60 * 60 * 24 * 90 ) ) ) { echo "> 90 days old" } else { echo "< 90 days old" } </code>

I can get a category id or slug for my custom taxonomy just fine, but I then need to be able to get all the posts as an array for that taxonomy entry. My code is as follows: <code> $args = array( 'post_type' => 'product', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); endwhile; </code> When I add 'category_name'=> 'my_taxonomy_name' to the args array, it just causes the $the_query to be empty although I know that there is post in there. I have also tried changing it to 'cat'=> 22, but this also has the same fault. Can anyone help? Cheers John

Check out the Taxonomy Parameters . <code> <?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'product', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'taxonomy_name', 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => '22' ) ) ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); //content endwhile; ?> </code>

I'm trying to, essentially, check whether a post exists and if it does (in published, draft or auto-draft states) return the post info. I'm finding <code> get_post() </code> doesn't seem to work with drafts, and <code> get_posts() </code> doesn't allow me to specify the specific post ID I'm looking for. Is there a function to get post info for any <code> publish_status </code> by post ID?
|
There is nothing in the codex that would suggest that <code> get_post() </code> would not work with drafts. if you experience otherwise, try <code> get_posts() </code> with the <code> include </code> or <code> post__in </code> parameter. Also see the supported type and status parameters here .

I want to show products like an eCommerce store with product categories and detail pages, but I have no need for a shopping cart or checkout system. This is just to display the products for informational purposes. I have used custom post types on another project and that worked out fine, but I am wondering if anyone knows of a plugin that would make this fast and easy to customize. Also an import/export feature would be nice for adding lots of products.
|
if you have no need for regular blog posts, you can just use those. the post is probably not overly different from a custom post type for a product. though i just did a CPT for products and added some cool features. though since they were related to metaboxes and custom columns there's no reason you couldn't add them to posts, but in case you want to use your blog ever, i'd probably keep them as a separate CPT. the ecommerce plugins i've seen are usually related to setting up your shopping cart. where do you want to import from? you can always import/export your posts w/ the xml built-in import/exporter

I am trying to have some information specific to a taxonomy term appear above that taxonomy's archive list. Example: Taxonomy is 'Sports', with football, soccer, and baseball being terms within the 'Sports' taxonomy. I would like to have a small description of each sport display above that term's archive page. In researching this possibility, I have read the Category Templates page, found a plugin that appears to do what I want, but only with regard to Categories and not custom taxonomies. I would do it with Categories, but I have multiple taxonomies now and cannot use the simple categories solution any longer :( Am I being dense, or are custom taxonomy templates not possible?
|
Custom Taxonomy templates are entirely possible, the order of the template loading is, <code> taxonomy-{sometax}-{someterm}.php </code> - If the taxonomy were sometax, and taxonomy's slug were someterm <code> taxonomy-{sometax}.php </code> - If the taxonomy were sometax. <code> taxonomy.php </code> <code> archive.php </code> <code> index.php </code> This template hierarchy give you tons of control on how you want to alter the display of taxonomies as a whole, as a group or alone. http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy For example in your case you can create a template called <code> taxonomy-sports.php </code> and then customize it however you want using conditionals, template tags and functions.

I am looking for a solution, it can be pre-existing plugin or code I put into my functions.php file that will allow me to batch upload images to a post, and then have the ability to rearrange the positioning of them. I know Wordpress by default allows you to batch upload images, so I am presuming the solution will use that functionality. But to my knowledge it doesn't let you adjust the order of which they are attached to the post. The reason I need to be able to have the option of rearranging bulk-uploaded images, is because on the front-end, images are shown sort of like a mosaic where multiple images make up one larger image in the form of grid. The scenario : A user creates a new post. A user then clicks on a button which shows the media uploader and allows them to upload a whole bunch of images at once. The images are processed and then associated with the post. The user is then able to rearrange the order of the attached post images which will then be displayed in that particular order on the homepage in a WP post loop. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The gallery tab allows you to order images by default. Click Add Image ---> Gallery You can then number the photos in the little boxes. They can then be sorted in ascending/descending/date/time/random

I have a series of paypal buttons on a web page that I am trying to migrate from another site onto Wordpress. When I copy the html and paste it into the (HTML TAB) of the wordpress editor, I can see the buttons. But when I press save the code disappears...
|
Elements like these (Paypal buttons) should not be inserted as page content in the editor. Instead, put them in your Wordpress template files. I assume you are developing your own Wordpress theme but even if not, you can modify the existing one ("Twenty Eleven"). Depending on the placement of the button, you should do it in header.php, sidebar.php or footer.php in the directory of the theme.

You will want to create a new widget area or dynamic sidebar in your theme's code. Justin Tadlock has a great tutorial about how to do this, but the basics boil down to this. Add the widget area declaration in your theme's functions.php file: <code> <?php add_action('widgets_init', 'my_register_sidebars'); function my_register_sidebars() { /* Register the 'cartwidgets' sidebar. */ register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'cartwidgets', 'name' => __( 'Cart Widgets' ), 'description' => __( 'A short description of the sidebar.' ), 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">', 'after_title' => '</h3>' ) ); } ?> </code> Then in the appropriate files in your theme (page.php, single.php, index.php, etc.) include code similar to the following to actually show the new widget area: <code> <div id="sidebar-primary" class="sidebar"> <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'cartwidgets' ); ?> </div> </code> Those are the basics, but I would highly recommend you read Tadlock's post, as he's done a great job of explaining all of the parameters and pitfalls. Doing this, you'll be able to drag the cart's widgets into these new sidebars and they will show up, just as WordPress is designed.

I'm trying to implement a sliding control panel where logged in users can change background colors, fonts, etc. the point being that they should only be able to do it on their own author pages, nowhere else. So to put it simply: User logs in, goes to his author page and the slider appears from where he can customize the appearance of the said author page. I have the slider working, but how can I save the customizations for each author page, so every user can have customized author page? Usually these kind of control panel sliders are used for the whole site where admin can do the customizations for the whole site and they are saved to a cookie. This one works the same way currently, but should I save the selections to database for each user or what? All recommendations, suggestions and everything else is most welcome. Here's how the control panel works from functions.php: <code> add_action('header_top','control_panel');function control_panel(){ $admin_access = apply_filters( 'showcontrol_panel', current_user_can('switch_themes') ); if ( !$admin_access ) return; if ( get_option('show_control_panel') <> 'on' ) return; global $bg_texture_urls, $google_fonts; ?> <div id="et-control-panel"> <div id="control-panel-main"> <a id="et-control-close" href="#"></a> <div id="et-control-inner"> <h3 class="control_title">Example Colors</h3> <a href="#" class="et-control-colorpicker" id="et-control-background"></a> <div class="clear"></div> <?php $sample_colors = array( '6a8e94', '8da49c', 'b0b083', '859a7c', 'c6bea6', 'b08383', 'a4869d', 'f5f5f5', '4e4e4e', '556f6a', '6f5555', '6f6755' ); for ( $i=1; $i<=12; $i++ ) { ?> <a class="et-sample-setting" id="et-sample-color<?php echo $i; ?>" href="#" rel="<?php echo $sample_colors[$i-1]; ?>" title="#<?php echo $sample_colors[$i-1]; ?>"><span class="et-sample-overlay"></span></a> <?php } ?> <h3 class="control_title">Texture Overlays</h3> <div class="clear"></div> <?php $sample_textures = $bg_texture_urls; for ( $i=1; $i<=count($bg_texture_urls); $i++ ) { ?> <a title="<?php echo $sample_textures[$i-1]; ?>" class="et-sample-setting et-texture" id="et-sample-texture<?php echo $i; ?>" href="#" rel="bg<?php echo $i+1; ?>"><span class="et-sample-overlay"></span></a> <?php } ?> <?php $google_fonts = $google_fonts; $font_setting = 'Lobster'; $body_font_setting = 'Droid+Sans'; if ( isset( $_COOKIE['header_font'] ) ) $font_setting = $_COOKIE['header_font']; if ( isset( $_COOKIE['body_font'] ) ) $body_font_setting = $_COOKIE['body_font']; ?> <h3 class="control_title">Fonts</h3> <div class="clear"></div> <label for="control_header_font">Header <select name="control_header_font" id="control_header_font"> <?php foreach( $google_fonts as $google_font ) { ?> <?php $encoded_value = urlencode($google_font); ?> <option value="<?php echo $encoded_value; ?>" <?php selected( $font_setting, $encoded_value ); ?>><?php echo $google_font; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> </label> <a href="#" class="et-control-colorpicker et-font-control" id="et-control-headerfont_bg"></a> <div class="clear"></div> <label for="control_body_font">Body <select name="control_body_font" id="control_body_font"> <?php foreach( $google_fonts as $google_font ) { ?> <?php $encoded_value = urlencode($google_font); ?> <option value="<?php echo $encoded_value; ?>" <?php selected( $body_font_setting, $encoded_value ); ?>><?php echo $google_font; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> </label> <a href="#" class="et-control-colorpicker et-font-control" id="et-control-bodyfont_bg"></a> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <!-- end #et-control-inner --> </div> <!-- end #control-panel-main --> </div> <!-- end #et-control-panel --> <?php } add_action( 'template_redirect', 'load_scripts' ); function load_scripts(){ $slider_type = apply_filters( 'slider_type', get_option('slider_type') ); $template_dir = get_bloginfo('template_directory'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery_cycle', $template_dir .

So if i understand correctly you want to let the authors style their profile and save the data in a way that every visitor will see their saved style, kind of like twitter lets you style your own author page. If so then using cookies won't help you here since cookies are user specific and not saved on your server or in the database do you won't be able to generate the style the author has picked anywhere but on that authors browser. What you should do is save all of the style data as an array in the usermeta table using <code> add_user_meta() </code> or <code> update_user_meta() </code> and then on your author page call that array of data using <code> get_user_meta </code> and generate the style the user has picked for his author page.

I been looking around for this, but couldn't find a way. The scenario is: I have a custom post type 'Company', and I'm creating Company type posts through my plugin's code. When I create a new Company post, I set the author as Admin. Now further down the code, I'm creating a custom role 'Representative' and assigning users to this role through my code again. What I want to do is, assign a Representative to a Company Post as an author. But I can't even see this user(Rep.) in the dropdown for switching authors. Is there any argument that I need to pass to wp_insert_user or register_post_type or add_role/add_cap for achieving this? Thanks in advance!
|
I'm reposting this with an example, I really don't get the code formatting of this editor, last time I was so irritated with it that I skipped the code! That dropdown is populated using a filter 'wp_dropdown_users' (user.php, line 976). This filter returns the dropdown (html select) as a string. You can intercept this string, and add your own options, which is the list of users with the custom role. Inspect the select with Firebug, the option value is the user id, and text is the login name for that user. <code> <?php add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'test'); function test($output) { global $post; //Doing it only for the custom post type if($post->post_type == 'my_custom_post') { $users = get_users(array('role'=>'my_custom_role')); //We're forming a new select with our values, you can add an option //with value 1, and text as 'admin' if you want the admin to be listed as well, //optionally you can use a simple string replace trick to insert your options, //if you don't want to override the defaults $output .= "<select id='post_author_override' name='post_author_override' class=''>"; foreach($users as $user) { $output .= "<option value='".$user->id."'>".$user->user_login."</option>"; } $output .= "</select>"; } return $output; } ?> </code> That's it! You'll have the dropdown listing your custom roles. Try changing the post author, it gets updated neatly. It's a hack, but it worked for me!

I have a post with a custom meta value which is populated via a jQuery datepicker and it gets stored in the following format: yyyy/mm/dd - is there a way I can group all posts from the same day together easily? I'm not using Wordpress's publish date, as I need to have future posts published. I know using the function 'the_date()' will by default in Wordpress only show the date once per x amount of posts, giving the appearance they're grouped. Is there anything that does something similar with a custom meta date value?
|
The only built in way ( using a function) is to use <code> WP Query </code> and the custom field parameters, specifically <code> meta_query </code> and <code> compare </code> . http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters An example to get you started: <code> $query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'your_date', 'meta_compare' => '=' ) ); </code> Alternatively, the custom field functions in Wordpress do not have many parameters, they are basically for adding and retrieving data, which you can then use with native PHP, for instance you can return the custom field as an array using something like: <code> $meta_date_array = get_post_meta($post_id, $key, false); ksort($meta_date_array); </code> and use PHP's <code> ksort </code> to sort the order.

I've enabled the custom header image panel for my theme.. That all works fine, but it has a predetermined height. How can i make it dynamic? The width can be permanent. I used this code. http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-enable-custom-header-images-panel-in-wordpress-3-0/ <code> define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', apply_filters( 'yourtheme_header_image_width', 940 ) ); define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'yourtheme_header_image_height', 198 ) ); set_post_thumbnail_size( HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT, true ); </code>
|
Since you are using <code> apply_filters </code> you can use <code> yourtheme_header_image_height </code> filter hook to change the height: <code> add_filter('yourtheme_header_image_height','dynamic_height'); function dynamic_height($height){ $custom_height = get_option('dynamic_header_height'); return $custom_height; } </code>

What I want to do is to create a simple front-end post submit form, for every different type of post I will include in my Wordpress app. For example there will be articles, events, quick messages and those types will have a different design/structure for a user to see. Author will use those forms to post their content. As far as I know, I can have a different template for those types with the <code> if in category </code> function but I am interested in alternative solutions (maybe better). I know that there is <code> page_template </code> to add in the array http://wpengineer.com/1229/puplishing-extend-of-wordpress/ but is there anything else? Also I am having some difficulties to redirect or even echo the posted link (as below). For your concern, I can not echo the <code> $link </code> . Thank you for your help. <code> if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ global $user_ID; $new_post = array( 'post_title' => $_POST['post_title'], 'post_content' => $_POST['post'], 'post_status' => 'publish', 'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'), 'post_author' => $user_ID, 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_category' => array(0) ); wp_insert_post($new_post); } </code> I tried this for redirect without luck <code> $pid = wp_insert_post($new_post); $link = get_permalink( $pid ); echo $link; wp_redirect( $link ); </code>
|
you need to get the ID from <code> wp_insert_post </code> and make sure you <code> exit </code> or <code> die </code> so: <code> $pid = wp_insert_post($new_post); wp_redirect( get_permalink( $pid ); die(); </code> As for the second part you can use the WordPress Template Hierarchy and simply name each one of your custom post type designs as <code> single-{post_type}.php </code> for example if your post type is named event then name that file <code> single-event.php </code> and WordPress will know to use that file for displaying all posts of event type.

I have a plugin that I know I never want to update. I am aware that this is NOT best practice, but in this case it must be done. Is there any way to stop WordPress from prompting me to auto-update a particular plugin (but still alert as normal for all other plugins).
|
T31os's answer was right: Increase the version number inside the plugin's main file.. eg. 99.9 ... and also make that same change inside the readme file for good measure(though i don't think that's actually required).. – t31os

In a stackexchange-url ("previous question") I asked (and later worked out) how to style sub menus, I want to expand on that with another question related to styling sub-menus. I have hit an issue were if the parent is the selected page all child pages pick up the same styling, I believe this is because the <code> current-menu-item </code> class gets added to the parent li. If a child element is selected only the child is highlighted (which is correct) Has anyone encountered this before? What is the best way to only have the selected page highlighted and not the child elements of that page? As requested, here is the CSS that is being called to highlight the child menu. <code> .current-page a, .current-menu-item a { background-color: #EE8833; } </code>
|
You can try using the .current-menu-item li a"first-child selector. Here is an example I've used in the past to highlight the current menu item only: <code> #menu .current-menu-item { background:white; } #menu .current-menu-item li a:first-child { color:white!important; } #menu .current-menu-item a { color:black !important ; } </code> You will need to change the #menu to your id or class.

Does anyone know how to display the latest Foursquare checkin for a specific account on a WordPress blog? Ideally I would like to add the function to the theme rather than use a plugin but i'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance, G
|
Here is a solution for you: First download this nice little class Next, include it and “login” <code> <?php require_once 'foursquare.php'; //Load the foursquare class $foursquare = new fourSquare("username", "password"); //login </code> Then to get the venue’s name use: <code> <?php echo $foursquare->venueName; ?> </code> you can also get the venue's type,venue's icon, venue's location on the map and user’s comment on the venue. its all documented at the link provided above. Update: Since FourSquare changed their API i found a much simpler solution: login to your foursquare account and then head to http://feeds.foursquare.com/ and copy the rss feed url. and use this: <code> // $numCheckins - number of checkins to get function Display_last_checkins($numCheckins = 2){ $feedURL = 'enter your rss feed here'; $feedObject = simplexml_load_file($feedURL . '?count=' .$numCheckins); $items = $feedObject->channel; $checkin = $items->item; echo '<ul>'; $count = 0; foreach ($checkin as $item) { if ($item->link != '') { echo '<li><a href="'. $item->link .'">' . $item->title . '</a><br/></li>'; /* you can use $item->description - user comment $item->pubDate - publish date and time (Wed, 27 Apr 11 16:40:18 +0000) $item->georss:point - location for map (31.613221 34.76874) */ $count++; if ($count == $numCheckins) {break;} } } $echo .= '</ul>'; } </code>

For security reasons I don't want it to be obvious that I use Word Press. I use the W3 Total Cache plugin and minify HTML, CSS and JS. I may also use a CDN. Is it possible to modify the W3 Total Cache plugin so that it can rewrite the Wordpress directories "wp-content", "wp-admin" and "wp-includes" without actually renaming these directories? I'd ideally like to be able to rewrite W3 Total Cache directories such as "w3tc"
|
This was covered extensively in stackexchange-url ("Steps to Take to Hide the Fact a Site is Using WordPress"). The answer in that question covered renaming the wp-content and the plugin directory. If you prefer rewriting those directories you can use these functions found in the Roots WordPress theme to rewrite the directories relative to your sites root directory. <code> <?php if (stristr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'apache') !== false) { function roots_htaccess_writable() { if (!is_writable(get_home_path() . '.htaccess')) { add_action('admin_notices', create_function('', "echo '<div class=\"error\"><p>" . sprintf(__('Please make sure your <a href="%s">.htaccess</a> file is writeable ', 'roots'), admin_url('options-permalink.php')) . "</p></div>';")); }; } add_action('admin_init', 'roots_htaccess_writable'); // Rewrites DO NOT happen for child themes // rewrite /wp-content/themes/roots/css/ to /css/ // rewrite /wp-content/themes/roots/js/ to /js/ // rewrite /wp-content/themes/roots/img/ to /js/ // rewrite /wp-content/plugins/ to /plugins/ function roots_flush_rewrites() { global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); } function roots_add_rewrites($content) { $theme_name = next(explode('/themes/', get_stylesheet_directory())); global $wp_rewrite; $roots_new_non_wp_rules = array( 'css/(.*)' => 'wp-content/themes/'. $theme_name . '/css/$1', 'js/(.*)' => 'wp-content/themes/'. $theme_name . '/js/$1', 'img/(.*)' => 'wp-content/themes/'. $theme_name . '/img/$1', 'plugins/(.*)' => 'wp-content/plugins/$1' ); $wp_rewrite->non_wp_rules += $roots_new_non_wp_rules; } add_action('admin_init', 'roots_flush_rewrites'); function roots_clean_assets($content) { $theme_name = next(explode('/themes/', $content)); $current_path = '/wp-content/themes/' . $theme_name; $new_path = ''; $content = str_replace($current_path, $new_path, $content); return $content; } function roots_clean_plugins($content) { $current_path = '/wp-content/plugins'; $new_path = '/plugins'; $content = str_replace($current_path, $new_path, $content); return $content; } // only use clean urls if the theme isn't a child or an MU (Network) install if (!is_multisite() && !is_child_theme()) { add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'roots_add_rewrites'); if (!is_admin()) { add_filter('plugins_url', 'roots_clean_plugins'); add_filter('bloginfo', 'roots_clean_assets'); add_filter('stylesheet_directory_uri', 'roots_clean_assets'); add_filter('template_directory_uri', 'roots_clean_assets'); } } function roots_add_h5bp_htaccess($rules) { global $wp_filesystem; if (!defined('FS_METHOD')) define('FS_METHOD', 'direct'); if (is_null($wp_filesystem)) WP_Filesystem(array(), ABSPATH); if (!defined('WP_CONTENT_DIR')) define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content'); $theme_name = next(explode('/themes/', get_template_directory())); $filename = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes/' . $theme_name . '/inc/h5bp-htaccess'; $rules .= $wp_filesystem->get_contents($filename); return $rules; } add_action('mod_rewrite_rules', 'roots_add_h5bp_htaccess'); } ?> </code> You will also need to make sure and remove the W3 Total Cache X-Powered-by headers . <code> <IfModule mod_headers.c> Header set X-Powered-By "W3 Total Cache/0.9.2.3" </IfModule> </code> If your going to use a CDN W3 Total Cache will use the same path structure: <code> wp-content/w3tc/min/xxxxx/default.include.xxxx.css </code> So you will either need to rewrite these using .htaccess on the CDN if you have access or not use minify.

Here's an example page on my site, using the single.php template, and its code . How can I get the slider images to link to the full size originals or attachment pages?

Sorry if this is a really silly question, but I am very new to Word Press. My question is, can one plugin update the settings of another Wordpress plugin? I suppose this might depend on the plugin and where it stores its settings. I don't know if plugins store their settings in static files or in the database.
|
Simple Answer would be yes. It really depends on the plugin. A good plugin will take use of the many API's that Wordpress has set up for development, such as the settings API. Most plugins will probably store their settings using get_option . A good place to start will be the Wordpress Codex

I have a web site that I am working on, hendersonvillecameraclub.org. When I use Google to search for the site using 'hendersonville camera club' as the search terms my site is the 6th result. Below the page title, it gives a snippet of the most recent post on the site. My question is, how do I change what information is displayed in the summary? I would prefer to put some static text there that provides a better description of the site. This site is hosted by GoDaddy, not sure if that's relevant information. Thanks!

Try an SEO or meta tag plugin that will give you the most options to work with meta for the home page, for post pages, static pages, etc. It's not enough to simply add one metatag to the header template. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=SEO&sort=

I'm using a slightly modified copy of the Multi Site User Management plugin to keeps users synced across a multisite network, but have one problem with it. When a user's role is updated on the main site, the role is NOT updated on the sub site. In order for everything to work correctly, user roles must stay in sync. I've been looking without success, so is there an action that runs when a user is updated? I know about the profile_update and wp_update_user functions / hooks, but neither of these work because the user role is updated via an external function. So I need a new way of always syncing user roles. Any ideas?
|
I've found a way around the problem. It's not a "fix", but rather a way to get around the problem of needing synchronized user roles. Instead of trying to make all user roles match up, I decided to only check the user roles for the main site. see my function below for how I did it: <code> /* * Function to check a specified user from a subsite against * the role of that same user on the main site * * @param int $site_to_check the id of the site to check the user's role from * @param int $user_id the user's id to check */ function cgc_check_for_citizen($site_to_check = 1, $user_id = null) { if(!isset($user_id)) { return false; } $citizen = false; global $blog_id; if($blog_id == 1) { // we're on the main site if(user_can($user_id, 'read_citizen')) { $citizen = true; } } else { switch_to_blog($site_to_check); if(user_can($user_id, 'read_citizen')) { $citizen = true; } restore_current_blog(); } return $citizen; } </code>

The dropdown menu that Thesis creates is 99% fine, except that it's very unforgiving to users that don't master the use of mouse very easily - old people and people with average to bad vision. I would like to improve its usability using a bit of javascript, allowing the mouse to be a few pixels offside and still keep the submenu open. I tried this in my custom javascript file: <code> var hoverConfig = { over: function(e){ e.preventDefault(); $.log("launch menu"); $('.sub-menu',$(this)).show(); }, timeout: 500, // number = milliseconds delay before onMouseOut out: function(e){ e.preventDefault(); $.log("hide menu"); $('.sub-menu',$(this)).hide(); } }; $('.sub-menu').hide(); $("#menu-main-menu").hoverIntent( hoverConfig ); </code> Firebug logging shows that it works - the show and hide functions are called, but the CSS behaviour still triggers and i don't manage to cancel it so that the javascript behaviour takes the full control. Any idea how i can do that?
|
In fact it works; i just didn't bind the behaviour to the right element. It should be bound to the #mainmenu> li and then it works. Dumb me!

Imagine that a person has a few premium themes that they use for clients. In those premium themes are many different options that can be set. Is it possible to set the theme's options to the most common and preferred choices and then export those options for later importation into other fresh WordPress installs with the same theme? That way one is not merely pointing and clicking their way through the various options over and over again for each new install.
|
The answer is theme depended and since most premium themes have their own framework/options panels then its going to be hard to tell where are the options are saved but in most cases they are saved in the options table in the database. So the tricky part is to know what are the options names. You can look for them in the themes code either by searching for <code> add_option </code> , <code> update_option </code> and <code> register_settings </code> .

Where are a theme's options stored and can I export them to be imported into freshly installed themes?

I am trying to create a custom post type with custom metabox array. How can I create this kind a automatic populating post type? I think I have to use two dimension array. But how can I automatically populate my data array? And how can I save this kind array. Could some one point me to right direction? Please take a look at the images. Second img My code so far : <code> <?php //add custom field - price add_action("admin_init", "price"); function object_init(){ add_meta_box("price_meta", "Price fields :", "object", "price_meta", "normal", "low"); } function price_meta(){ global $post; $custom = get_post_custom($post->ID); $price = $custom["price"][0]; ?> <p style="float:left;"><label>Nr :</label><br /> <input type="text" name="priceNr" size="10" value="<?php echo $price; ?>"/> </p> <p style="float:left;"><label>Description :</label><br /> <input type="text" name="priceD" size="50" value="<?php echo $price; ?>"/> </p> <p style="float:left;"><label>Price :</label><br /> <input type="text" name="price" size="20" value="<?php echo $price; ?>"/> </p> <?php } //Save product price add_action('save_post', 'save_detailss'); function save_detailss(){ global $post; $post_id = $post->ID; // to prevent metadata or custom fields from disappearing... if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return $post_id; update_post_meta($post_id, "price", $_POST["price"]); } ?> </code>

Your code make no sense, anyway here is a nice way to do it and you get: <code> function Print_price_fileds($cnt, $p = null) { if ($p === null){ $a = $b = $c = ''; }else{ $a = $p['n']; $b = $p['d']; $c = $p['p']; } return <<<HTML <li> <label>Nr :</label> <input type="text" name="price_data[$cnt][n]" size="10" value="$a"/> <label>Description :</label> <input type="text" name="price_data[$cnt][d]" size="50" value="$b"/> <label>Price :</label> <input type="text" name="price_data[$cnt][p]" size="20" value="$c"/> <span class="remove">Remove</span> </li> HTML ; } //add custom field - price add_action("add_meta_boxes", "object_init"); function object_init(){ add_meta_box("price_meta_id", "Price fields :","price_meta", "post", "normal", "low"); } function price_meta(){ global $post; $data = get_post_meta($post->ID,"price_data",true); echo '<div>'; echo '<ul id="price_items">'; $c = 0; if (count($data) > 0){ foreach((array)$data as $p ){ if (isset($p['p']) || isset($p['d'])|| isset($p['n'])){ echo Print_price_fileds($c,$p); $c = $c +1; } } } echo '</ul>'; ?> <span id="here"></span> <span class="add"><?php echo __('Add Price Data'); ?></span> <script> var $ =jQuery.noConflict(); $(document).ready(function() { var count = <?php echo $c - 1; ?>; // substract 1 from $c $(".add").click(function() { count = count + 1; //$('#price_items').append('<li><label>Nr :</label><input type="text" name="price_data[' + count + '][n]" size="10" value=""/><label>Description :</label><input type="text" name="price_data[' + count + '][d]" size="50" value=""/><label>Price :</label><input type="text" name="price_data[' + count + '][p]" size="20" value=""/><span class="remove">Remove</span></li>'); $('#price_items').append('<? echo implode('',explode("\n",Print_price_fileds('count'))); ?>'.replace(/count/g, count)); return false; }); $(".remove").live('click', function() { $(this).parent().remove(); }); }); </script> <style>#price_items {list-style: none;}</style> <?php echo '</div>'; } //Save product price add_action('save_post', 'save_detailss'); function save_detailss($post_id){ global $post; // to prevent metadata or custom fields from disappearing... if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return $post_id; // OK, we're authenticated: we need to find and save the data if (isset($_POST['price_data'])){ $data = $_POST['price_data']; update_post_meta($post_id,'price_data',$data); }else{ delete_post_meta($post_id,'price_data'); } } </code> I keep getting people asking me how to get the data to print in the fronend so: <code> $data = get_post_meta($post->ID,"price_data",true); echo '<ul>'; if (count($data) > 0){ foreach((array)$data as $p ){ if (isset($p['p']) || isset($p['d'])|| isset($p['n'])){ echo '<li>Number: '.$p['n'].'

I'm working on a project that will require two separate galleries to be displayed on the same post. One gallery is specific to the product and the other is professional generic shots. The content of both galleries will change with every post. I need to figure out how to show two separate galleries on a post and repeat this process daily. The only way that I can think of is to store images in another post (post-b) and insert post-b using either @MikeSchinkel's or @Scribu's post to post connector. What would you do?
|
If possibile, use NextGen Gallery plugin, to manage the gallery, and with the help of custom fields, manage it in the post You can create two custom fields, like: first_gallery second_gallery and fill it with the nextgen gallery ID. You can do a custom metabox with a select box, if you want. The in the frontend code, use <code> $first = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'first_gallery',true); $second = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'second_gallery',true); ... echo do_shortcode('[nggallery id='.$first.']'); echo do_shortcode('[nggallery id='.$second.']'); ... </code> Hope this it helps. Bonus : there are many nextgen gallery plugins that let you change how the gallery is rendered to the user.

Are there any possible plugins that could clone an entire Wordpress site and install it in another location? I build sites on one url, then to show the client and move it to another url to show it. At the moment copying the files and database and re-uploading everything and changing urls is a bit of a nightmare! UPDATE: I want them to run off two different databases.

I am following this page on designing options menus: http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Menus What is the significance of the menu_slug ? I ask because when I change this value, the options page changes to You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. If I change it back to what it was, it's fine. ---EDIT---15/8/2011 This is the code I was changing: <code> function highlighter_menu_() { add_options_page('Highlighter pen options', 'Highlighter Pen', 'manage_options', 'my-unique-identifier', 'highlighter_plugin_options'); } </code> and changed it to <code> function highlighter_menu_() { add_options_page('Highlighter pen options', 'Highlighter Pen', 'manage_options', 'a-unique-identifier', 'highlighter_plugin_options'); } </code>

I created a category-list to show them in a way, my accordion can use. (Custom in the sidebar) I want to add a class named "current" for the currently viewed post and the viewed category should be opened. Do you have any ideas to integrate this in the code? It was hard work to get this to work and now I dont know how to integrate it... Link: http://www.davidgoltz.de/2011/anna-bederke-actor/ (after you click "Portfolio", the menu appears and should show the opened tree with a highlighted post. Here is the code: <code> <div id="category-list"> <ul class="topnav"> <?php $kategorien = get_categories(array( 'child_of' => 0, 'exclude_tree' => 15, 'exclude' => 16, 'orderby' => 'slug', 'order' => 'ASC')); foreach($kategorien as $kategorie) { echo '<li><a href="#" class="category-title">'; echo ($kategorie->name); echo '</a>'; echo '<ul>'; $cat = $kategorie->cat_ID; $posts = get_posts('category='. $cat .'&posts_per_page=-1'); foreach($posts as $post) { ?> <li> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <li> <? } echo '</ul>'; echo '</li>'; } ?> </ul> </div> </code>

Try this: <code> <div id="category-list"> <ul class="topnav"> <?php if (is_single()){ global $post; $pid = $post->ID; $post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID ); $cats = array(); foreach($post_categories as $c){ $cat = get_category( $c ); $cats[] = $cat->ID; } $active_cat_count = true; $cat_count = 0; } $kategorien = get_categories(array( 'child_of' => 0, 'exclude_tree' => 15, 'exclude' => 16, 'orderby' => 'slug', 'order' => 'ASC')); foreach($kategorien as $kategorie) { if (isset($active_cat_count) && $active_cat_count){ if (in_array($kategorie->ID,$cats){ $active_cat_count = false; }else{ $cat_count = $cat_count + 1; } } echo '<li><a href="#" class="category-title">'; echo ($kategorie->name); echo '</a>'; echo '<ul>'; $cat = $kategorie->cat_ID; $posts = get_posts('category='. $cat .'&posts_per_page=-1'); foreach($posts as $post) { ?> <li> <a <?php if ($post->ID == $pid){echo 'class="current"';} ?> href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <li> <? } echo '</ul>'; echo '</li>'; } ?> </ul> </div> <?php if (is_single()){ ?> <script> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ $( ".topnav" ).accordion( "option", "active", <?php echo $cat_count; ?> ); }); </script> <?php } </code>

I'm running a multisite. I would like to display "Terms and conditions" when user trying to create a new post. Users should Click "I agree" link and then proceed to create a new post(wp-admin/post-new.php). Is there any good plugin available for this? Or can anyone give me some snippets? Looking forward to it. Thanks

Yes there is: Terms Of Use plugin . Also able to add the checkbox to signup pages, works with Formidable forms plugin and enables you to add the checkbox before viewing a (front- or backend) page.

What's the most efficient way - concerning the database - to add and query extra usermeta fields to a profile? I need to add four additional fields of numeric and text data to a user profile and then query that to compile the data for display in a template. And there are potentially thousands of users. There are lots of examples to store the data in usermeta. But should this amount of data be stored in the usermeta table? Or should I store it all in a new database table? And if so, how do I initialize a new table and then write to it?
|
There are lots of examples to store the data in usermeta. But should this amount of data be stored in the usermeta table? I don't see any reason why you should not use the default user meta data table, after-all that is what it is for, regardless of the amount of users/fields. The user meta function , such as <code> get user meta </code> uses <code> get_metadata </code> with the <code> $meta_type </code> object set to user. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_metadata If you want to mess around with new tables you can use the <code> $wpdb </code> class and create a new one, this post covers how, http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Tables_with_Plugins . There is also a plugin called Pods CMS that allows for the creation of custom database tables for content types, but unless you have a specific reason for doing so, just use the built in user meta tables.

The following words are reserved for use by WordPress functions and cannot be used as blog names: page, comments, blog, files, feed This is the error message that I'm getting. I wanted to use /blog as a sub-site in the network. What I require is that my site has the following structure: <code> Home (only contains links to the other parts) Part 1 Part 2 Blog </code> Would using permalinks solve my problem? I want all my blogs to appear in only the 'Blog' part of the site and nowhere else. Another follow-up query is that, since I'm working on this site on my localhost, I'm using sub-folders. But when I eventually transfer the site on a web host, I want to use sub-domains. I'm mentioning this as I fear that any solution to the above problem can influence this.
|
http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Permalinks /blog cannot be used as a new site name. It is relied on heavily by WP for the main site. Everything added to it automatically has /blog as part of the permalink from my understanding You can check out this discussion http://wordpress.org/support/topic/root-directory-blog-for-wordpress-30-main-multisite to see if it helps you out, gives some further options. The main issue with the /blog is to prevent collisions. I'm not sure of the repercussions of not using it, when using subdomains I'm not sure if you can easily switch from subfolders to subdomains..... I would think that would cause some issues. I think when you transfer over, the existing subsites are not switched.... so if you set it up one way, and try to change, there may be some headaches

You can use the function <code> has_nav_menu('main-menu') </code> . See the WordPress Codex here.

Your not going to get an answer to this, there is no magic wand you can use to change what your asking without working it out yourself, or at the very least supplying some actual code with your question. To change the CSS in a back-end option page you can use the Options API, http://codex.wordpress.org/Options_API , or write a custom CSS file and include it in your header. As Mark already mentioned there is a color picker that comes with WordPress that you can use to fill in your custom field options with color values.

I'm guessing this is a really dumb question, but I'm far more familiar with PHP/WordPress and I'm just getting started with jQuery so I'm not even sure what to search on. Is there a way to pass the output of <code> echo get_blogifo('siteurl') </code> To jQuery? I'm trying to get this to work: <code> $('a.getstarted').attr('href', '<?php echo get_bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>/payroll-deduction-authorization/?plan=basic'); </code> Thanks in advance for your help!

Use wp_localize_script() to pass variables to the front end so that you can pick them by javascript. Use it like this: <code> wp_enqueue_script( 'some_handle' ); $data = array( 'some_string' => __( 'Some string to translate' ) ); wp_localize_script( 'some_handle', 'object_name', $data ); </code> And pick it up like <code> object_name.some_string </code> in javascript code.

I've been hunting around for a day for this answer and thought I should turn to StackExchange in the hopes someone has an aswer. My goal is to display X images (for example, 4) in the sidebar of this one template, but I'd like it to be dynamic and either pull 4 random images, or the first or last 4 images in the gallery. I'm currently using this code below to manually pull 4 images, but can someone provide code to be a bit more clever about it? <code> <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery include="317,309,325" columns="1" link="file"]'); ?> </code>
|
Sounds like you need a custom query in order to pull X amount of images. You could do the following (untested): <code> <?php function custom_gallery_display( $number_of_images = 4 ) { //make sure you have access to the WPDB object global $wpdb; //pull 4 random attachments $images = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID from wp_posts WHERE post_type = 'attachment' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $number_of_images"); //may need to tweak this; //not sure what format the results are returned $image_ids = implode( ',', $images ); //now print with random images echo do_shortcode('[gallery include="' . $image_ids . '" columns="1" link="file"]'); return; } ?> </code> That should do the trick, although it may need a bit of tweaking. You should also check out the documentation http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode According to it, you can easily create the randomized order by setting the orderby attribute to RAND <code> <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery include="317,309,325" columns="1" orderby="RAND" link="file"]'); ?> </code> However, if you are forced to use a custom query in order to use X amount of images, you may as well just randomize it at that point, as I did above in the query.
