Facebook fanbox wordpress plugin

Manchumahara(Sabuj Kundu) — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:36:34 +0000

It’s just a simple fanbox widget as wordpress plugin, nothing to explain. But I made my own version ?

Features

iframe method
auto detect ie(internet explorer), because sometimes it’s make problem for ie and option to use as iframe only for ie !
jquery based document ready facebook load ! Not clear ? see bellow

One thing to note that I used a way to load the facebook js script after loading jquery as normally in wordpress site front end we use jquery and many plugin uses this… so we can take that jquery is using default. So I loaded the fb js using wp_enqueue function and then called the fb init function after the document is loaded using jquery dom ready function … It’s just an experiment about slow loading of facebook fanbox widget in wordpress

Mark active category in single page(wordpress)

Manchumahara(Sabuj Kundu) — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 07:45:04 +0000

I think my post title is not clear and it’s really not possible to tell every thing in just a simple post title . Ok, I am taking about:
1. WordPress
2. Category menu in wordpress using wp_list_categories()

If you make a wordpress menu using category listing in wordpress then the html code will be like this

: WordPress menu as category list(click image to see full)

In the above picture , you see same thing twice , firt one
1. when we are not in any category page(category archive page)
2. when we are in a category archive page , the active category list gets a extra class name “current-cat”
So my post is about when we are browsing any single post how can we mark the the category as “current-cat” that post belongs to so that the active category list can be styled using css.

So to do that I got a plugin (please check here) but i am not happy as the plugin put active class for anchor tag… Please check the plugin code.

function show_active_category($text) {
	global $post;
	if( is_single() ) {
		$categories = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID);
		foreach( $categories as $catid ) {
			$cat = get_category($catid);
			if(preg_match('#>' . $cat->name . '#', $text)) {
				$text = str_replace('>' . $cat->name . '', ' class="active_category">' . $cat->name . '', $text);
			}
		}
	}
	return $text;
}
add_filter('wp_list_categories', 'show_active_category');

and here is my version

function show_active_category($text) {
global $post;
if( is_single() ) {
$categories = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID);
foreach( $categories as $cat )
{
//var_dump($cat);
if(preg_match('#
	#', $text))
{
$text = str_replace('
	', '
	', $text);
}
}
}
return $text;
}
add_filter('wp_list_categories', 'show_active_category');

you can put the above your in your functions.php file and no need to install an extra plugin.

That’s it.

Using wordpress native thickbox

Manchumahara(Sabuj Kundu) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 07:51:22 +0000

To know about what is thickbox please check this link. WordPress use this a main popup window or modal view. Thickbox is a jquery plugin and it’s available with wordpress with jquery. So my tips is how to use that in front end , using the thickbox available with it, no need to use externally.

ThickBox is a webpage UI dialog widget written in JavaScript on top of the jQuery library. Its function is to show a single image, multiple images, inline content, iframed content, or content served through AJAX in a hybrid modal.

At first let me tell you where you can get it if u search wordpress directory manually. Just check in wp-includes\js where you will get all the js library and plugins used with wordpress or available for use with plugin and theme. And here is every thing you need for thickbox
wp-includes\js\thickbox

Let me tell you now how to use it in theme or plugin. Let’s play with functions.php file of your theme file
Add this line in your functions.php file any where with care

function add_themescript(){
	if(!is_admin()){
	wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
	wp_enqueue_script('thickbox',null,array('jquery'));
	wp_enqueue_style('thickbox.css', '/'.WPINC.'/js/thickbox/thickbox.css', null, '1.0');
	}
}
add_action('init','add_themescript');

wp_enqueue_script function is used to load js file using theme and plugin. It helps you to load library js and plugin availble with wordpress and as well as loading js from external links like from theme , plugin or external sites. Also it will not load same js file again and again if same function used in diff plugin and theme. To know more about adding java script and stylesheet(custom css file) see in wordpress codex adding js and adding css

Hei, we are not done yet. need to do some lines more so that the loading image and close button show properly. Open your footer.php and write the follow lines before wp_footer() this.


and how to use thickbox you can see the  thickbox page in jquery site .

To show feedbernuer subscription link in popup windows I used this code

Subscribe to my blog via Email

That’s all.

Hei don’t think I will now say … pls donate me if you like my writings… because I have removed my donate button as nobody care about my time to do all the plugins/extentions and tips

I am using WP-DownloadManager plugin to manage downloads in my blog. It’s a very usefull plugin by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan. I think , He made the most important plugins for wp . He already wrote 17 wordpress plugins ! I am a big fan of Lester Chan aka ‘GaMerZ’ Chan and sometimes I try to get help from his plugin .. I mean how to wrote such nice and clean plugins…

Ok, I just checked that WP-DownloadManager plugin can list category but with files in each. But I wanted something like a download category widgets and a list of download category (just list of download category). So I just wrote a plugin for WP-DownloadManager plugin . It will allow you to put a widget in sidebar showing all the Download Category as list with files and hits count as soon as you can use short code in post and pages. And this will make a download category list like bellow

Download

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

Installation

Make sure that you installed the wp-downloadmanager plugin first !
Now, Install the plugin like any other plugin.

Shortcode/widget usage

You can use as short code as well as widget. After installing visit your widget area from admin panel and use “Download Categories” widget to place in sidebar. To use shortcode in post or pages, write in your post/pages editor in html mode
page_download_cat and wrap this word in [] , you are done.

I just made a quick wrap of my needs and sharing with you. If you find any problem using this let me know. BTW, I am using this plugin in my download page where you will get my other wordpress, joomla and phpbb plugins.
Thank you.

Tab/Sliders for wordpress posts/pages

Helo guys I am ready to show you a tab/slides plugin for wordpress. Let me tell u a tale. Once I did a site in joomla1.x for a client and that used the tab slides in content, a jooomla mambot of joomlaworks.gr. Somedays ago I made the same site in using wordpress and wordpress is better than joomla for blogging. So I needed to reuse the tabslide plugin for wordpress and I just converted that joomla mambot/plugin to wordpress plugin. I am releasing in same GPL licence and free. I think this will help some ppl to enable tab/slide in wordpress posts/pages.

Check live demo in gdpnetwork.com or u can give a try in your localhost

Usage:

Install the plugin and activate
Check there will be added a new menu in Settings
Go to Settings->JW TabSlides
Check setting and change slider timer and speed as u need
Check Tab/Slide usage syntax bottom in setting page
Special feature: On demand js, css loading, heh heh think smart.

Update: Syntax is given here as I disabled this plugin in my blog

Tab:
{tab=First Tab}
here some content
{tab= Another tab}
I need some sleep
{tab=This is fun}
I thi it will be fun for you
{/tabs}
Slide:
{slide= First slide}
Here is content for first slide
{/slide}
{slide= 2nd slide}
This is fun too
{/slide}
Slides  in Tabs:
{tab=First Tab}
{slide= First slide}
Here is content for first slide
{/slide}
{slide= 2nd slide}
This is fun too
{/slide}
{tab= Another tab}
I need some sleep
{tab=This is fun}
{slide=Mu ha ha}
Here is content for first slide
{/slide}
{slide= This is done}
This is fun too
{/slide}
{/tabs}

Playing with worpdress permalink

Manchumahara(Sabuj Kundu) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:10:40 +0000

Today I will show how to play with wordpress permalink. If you are just working with a fresh wordpress installation then certainly you need to do some work with wordpress permalink structure. Just check in admin left menu Settings->Permalinks
Here is first look of your default permalink structure. Check your post and page url is like:

Post: http://sitename.com/?p=N, where N = post id Page: http://sitename.com/?page_id=N, where N = page id Category: http://sitename.com/?cat=N , where N = category id Tag: http://sitename.com/?tag=TAG SLUG, pls check bellow what is slug Author:http://sitename.com/?author=N, where N = author id

Now, let’s change the permalink structure to any custom format… here I am choosing the Month and name format and see screenshot bellow

Oh, check another thing before and after changing permalink structure,if you are in edit more of any post or page, check bellow the subject box
For default permalink: there is a option “Change permalinks”
For custom permalink: there is a option “Edit”
Check the screenshot bellow:

Please check here what we are editing or getting automatic after saving first time(or auto save) the post … is called slug for that article, we use article name alias for joomla same way. if seo enabled in joomla then that alias is used. Ok ,now check after changing permalink to any custom format what happened to all permalinks like posts, page, author, category, tags etc. Let’s check
Post and Page will get as the screenshot above (example http://localhost/blog/2010/01/playing-with-wordpress-permalinkslug-quick-seo/)
Category: http://localhost/blog/category/category slug/ Tag: http://localhost/blog/tag/tag slug/ Author: http://localhost/blog/author/author username(nick name) is here/
Check here for category,tag, author etc the bold part we are telling base like catgory base, tag base or author base. and the italic part is slug, Sometimes that base is also called slug for simplicity.

Making post link .html
If think you cheked some wordpress site has post link as .html … more like static and more friend for google .. I mean search engines. No worry, it’s just easy. Put a .html in the custom permalink format of your post.
Just write this in custom field
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
and my current blog post url is now
http://localhost/blog/2010/01/playing-with-wordpress-permalinkslug-quick-seo.html
Making the url more short
I think now our url got too long and sometimes that is bad for serach engines. So while we write blog post we can keep the title long(not more than 160 may be… 160 length is good for search engines) but we will edit post or page slug as short as possible. That the trick … taking specially care as do for your girl friend or your baby.
Oh another way we can make the url short… let’s change the permalink again. Let change custom permalink as
/%postname%.html
and my post link is more short now
http://localhost/blog/playing-with-wordpress-permalinkslug-quick-seo.html
for news site we can use like this
/newid%post_id%/%postname%.html now link is like


http://localhost/blog/newid160/playing-with-wordpress-permalinkslug-quick-seo.html

So I think we played too much with post permalink and now we know how to change the post permalink as we need. Isn’t it easy ?

Chaning page link to .html
There is no easy way to change page link .html like post from wordpress but we can do it via a plugin, acutally wordpress has that support to change permalink for page or others … so plugin authors can hack easily. To change page link like .html you can use this pluginCustom Page Extensions

Working with Category,Tag and Author base
Let’s play with category and tag base that is available in wp permalink.

So now tag link be like http://localhost/blog/postbytag/tag slug Category link http://localhost/blog/topics/category slug
Hei we are not finished yet. How about removing category base from category permalink ?
let me explain if you don’t change category base that means default is “category” then
http://sitename.com/category/category slug and for child cateogory http://sitename.com/category/parent category slug/child category slug
and now what I want to do is like bellow
http://sitename.com/category slug http://sitename.com/child category slug

Yes we can do that I mean remove category base using plugin. I like to use No category parents. I have tested in a client’s site and it’s working fine.

Yap we can change author slig(base actually) too ,,, not remove, just change default author base “author” to any custom word like “blogger”, “contributors” etc.
Old: http://www.sitename.com/author/manchupagla/ New: http://www.sitename.com/contributors/manchupagla/

For this so many wordpress plugins are available. But I like to use Author Slug, in codex check here. You can search codex for such plugins.

Heh heh talked too much today. I will recommend you to use another two plugins

One for quick SEO ALL in one SEO
For faster loading/caching WP Super Cache

Note: Check this post in bengali in amaderprojukti forum from here.

thank you for having patience to read this blog. Don’t forget to click share in social network and I like donation(check right col donation box )

Fix wordpress plugin “GT post approval”

Manchumahara(Sabuj Kundu) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:53:08 +0000

Hello! 2010 is just knocking at door .Hope to write lots of blog with my day2day thinking, learning and the problems I face every day.

Let me clear about this blog post: I think, you know that in wordpress we can add new coasdl in posts listing area. Check the bellow image of my post edit panel/listing(http://(yoursitename)/wp-admin/edit.php)

If you check the plugin there is an extra col named GT Status. It’s here because I have installed the plugin GT-post-approval. Check this in wordpress plugin repository from here. Cool na ? Let me show another screenshot after enabling another nice plugin named “Simply Show IDs”. Check that plugin wordpress plugin repository from here. This plugin will add another extra col to show any post id so that we(at least normal blog user who doesn’t know how to pick post id) can pick post id easily. Actually this plugin does

“Simply shows the ID of Posts, Pages, Media, Links, Categories, Tags and Users in the admin tables for easy access. Very lightweight.”

Check there are two extra col now.. ignore the blug arrow and messed up id with text “Reject”. Let me now explain why this messed up…

Conflict between “GT-post-approval” and “Simply show ids”

Actually it’s not conflict but bug og gt-post-approval plugin(latest Version: 0.3 b0.3). let me show how it’s hooking the post edit extra col. check near line 113.

// If current user is admin or editor
		if(current_user_can('edit_others_posts')){
			// Add the GT Status column
			add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'gt_column');
			// Set the global array with the structure post_ID => gt_status, ...
			add_filter('the_posts', 'gt_post2status');
			// For each post in edit.php add a button approve/reject
			add_filter('manage_posts_custom_column', 'gt_return_status');
			// Add a CSS to emphasize the button approve
			add_filter('admin_head', 'gt_emphasize_to_aprove');

here I will highlight this filter function

// For each post in edit.php add a button approve/reject
add_filter('manage_posts_custom_column', 'gt_return_status');

Before I advance please in wordpress codex about add_filter and manage_posts_custom_column(no complete codex page yet but see this page for all filter/hook functions)
add_filter usage is like

check the last param $accepted_args. it’s definition is
(integer) (optional) The number of arguments the function(s) accept(s). In WordPress 1.5.1 and newer. hooked functions can take extra arguments that are set when the matching do_action() or apply_filters() call is run.
Default: 1

So using this filter add_filter(‘manage_posts_custom_column’, ‘gt_return_status’); gt approve passed only one argument. But the hook manage_posts_custom_column action takes two parameter , column name and post id. here is gt approve plugin’s gt-return_status function

// Print a button approve/reject for the current post
function gt_return_status(){
	global $id, $post_gt_aproved;
	// If current post is approved (see gt_post2status() function)
	if($post_gt_aproved[$id])
		echo "".__('Reject').'';
		// Note: I use also the query string for an easy redirect in the gt_redirect_after_change() function
	else
		echo "".__('Approve').'';
}

that means it’s doesn’t handle with column name and this function is called each time an unknown column is triggered and messed up with other plugin which works with extra column …. grrr. The funny thing is that plugin I mean the function gt_return_status() handle the post id in tricky way…. Please don’t get me wrong.. that plugin works great and prefectly but I am just trying to improve it.

This is how i modified that plugin
changing hook so that it takes two parameter and also priority is set

// For each post in edit.php add a button approve/reject
add_filter('manage_posts_custom_column', 'gt_return_status',10, 2);
function gt_return_status($cname,$id){
	global $post_gt_aproved;
	if ($cname == 'gt_column'){
		// If current post is approved (see gt_post2status() function)
		if($post_gt_aproved[$id]){
			echo ''.__('Reject').'';
			// Note: I use also the query string for an easy redirect in the gt_redirect_after_change() function
		}
		else{
			echo ''.__('Approve').'';
		}
	}
}

Here is my total modification about this plugin.

Here you will get a great discussion about managing custom column in post edit screen. have a look please.
Good news I am coming with my own plugin about this concept of custom column in diff edit screen like posts, pages, tags etc. I think my plugin will increase usability in those places.

Fix wp plugin “Post and Page Excerpt Widgets”

Post and Page Excerpt Widgets is a nice plugin to show post/page excerpt as as widget in sidebar position. You can download it from wp code from here. One I thing I noticed about this plugin is it has a common bug that I faced many times while using query_posts. When I use this query_posts it’s break some conditional loop like is_home(), is_category() etc but there is another function get_posts in wordpress that does the same thing but don’t have similar problem. Once I discussed about this problem in one of my old posts. Please check that posts for better sense from here is_home-is_single-is_category-is-not-working-in-wp!.
Let me focus to this writing again 

As Post and Page Excerpt Widgets is using the query_posts function for custom query it make’s problem for conditional tags. Let me show u solution and it’s like my that posts.

In you theme functions.php add a new function if not exists yet

 function php4_clone($object) {
  	if (version_compare(phpversion(), '5.0') < 0) {
   		return $object;
  	} else {
   		return @clone($object);
  	}
 }


Now open the plugin file page-and-post-excerpt-widgets.php  and search for string “query_posts”. I think you should find matching in two places. Let’s take care of them now.

before that line 		query_posts(‘page_id=’.$page_ID);

add this line
$query_backup = php4_clone($GLOBALS['wp_query']);

and after the while look that means

after this line endwhile;  add
$GLOBALS['wp_query'] = $query_backup;

Do same thing for both matching. That will save u for not breaking any conditional tags like is_home() etc in your theme. I think wordpress should include such seucurity in core query_posts function so that it does not break the default wordpress’s The Loop.
Sometimes I can not find that why wordpress conditional tag is not working in my theme and that makes me really crazy !
Guys if you find this post help full then please take care the large social bookmark icon bellow

Send ajax request in wordpress using wpnonce

let’s send ajax request in wordpress using wpnonce
Hei, I am not going to discuss what is wpnonce and why you should use this in your plugin or how important to use this to secure your plugin 

But here I am going to discuss how you can use wpnonce in ajax request, I mean if your plugin handles ajax request.

Steps that we need to follow are:
One: Create wpnonce value.

Two: Send wpnonce value as an extra parameter with ajax requestion

Three: Check ajax referrer with the wpnonce value that was created in step one and sent in step two.
Ok, how to create a wpnonce value ?

we need to use wordpress function wp_create_nonce() . See wordpress codex here.

< ?php $my_wpnonce= wp_create_nonce  (‘you-look-nice’); ?> // “you-look-nice” is just a string, u can use whatever u want. here $my_wpnonce  will get a hash from wp_create_nonce. Oh that is not direct hash of “you-look-nice” but based on user id, time and that string. To know more about this function please check pluggable.php in wp-includes folder
Now send wpnonce value $my_wpnonce as an extra parameter while seding ajax req.
Now to process the ajax request in your script at first u need to include the wp-config.php or how u handle this.. no problem. Just use this line after this to check the ajax referrer.
< ?php check_ajax_referer(“you-look-nice”);  ?>   /// “you-look-nice”   ya same string that u used making wpnoce….

If the nonce value is not same then the hacker will be just got fucked!

note: check codex here for the function check_ajax_referer.
That’s it man.
