This plug-in will search a post and find names that match database records of people maked with the WP Category in the XFN Links. When it finds a match, it will replace the name with a link to the person. There is a administration screen for adding people and their bios to the database and viewing the current people marked for the filter. More than one person can be linked on a post. A individual name will only be linked once per post. Continue reading WP People
This a plugin that will take shortcode for track listings and make a “Mixed Tape” by turning the mp3 file links into music players and creating a play list of the tracks. The play list is a second shortcode that can be placed anywhere in the post. The play list can also show the tracks as a single album by changing the type. This will only show one link to the artist name added to the play list. The play list icon can be changed to show the mixed tape, cd, cd box, head phones or any image. The image should be small enough to fit inside the play list. Continue reading WP Mixed Tape
I received a comment on the main AHP Sitewide Recent Posts hack about having an issue of just displaying the title for the post. The plugin uses a “option code” to determine which items will be displayed for each post. The idea is, you add the value for each option and that total value lets the plugin know which items to show. For example, if you only wanted to show the post name, then the option value would be 32. If you wanted to show the post name and the blog name, then the option value would be 48 (32 Continue reading AHP Sitewide Recent Posts – hack 2.2ish
It’s funny how things happen to fall into place. Jacob over at 912Candidates.org was lamenting over the issue of not keeping the main page up-to-date. A few of the state sites have been posting updates, but Jacob has been a little busy and didn’t have anything to put on his front page. If only, he thought, there was a way to show the posts from the other sites. Well, what do you know, I was just playing around with a plug-in that did that. After pointing Jacob to the example on NC Freedom, he came back with some changes. The Continue reading AHP Sitewide Recent Posts – hack 2.1ish
After completing the initial hack, I went back to my production site and noticed that only one post from each site was being displayed. I believe this was the original intent of the plug-in, but I think that needs to be changed, so I made a little improvement. So now, the plug-in lets you set a max limit on the number of post per site. If you have a lot of sites, you’ll probably want to up the number of posts to display in general. Here is what I did. The first thing I did was to split up the Continue reading AHP Sitewide Recent Posts – hack 2.0
I started using WordPress Mu for a couple of sites that I am helping out with. The key to WordPress Mu is the ability to have multiple WordPress sites under the control of a main WordPress site. For example, if you have a common topic, you can have multiple sub-sites under the main site. Examples of these are the two sites I am helping out with 9/12 Candidates and NC Freedom. While 912 Candidates has sub-sites based on each state, NC Freedom uses sub-sites based on regions within the state. Another part of WordPress Mu is the ability to have Continue reading Sitewide Recent Posts – hack
