(PHP) Intergrating the wordpress media uploader into your plugin - FatFolderDesigner

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 08:29:36 UTC

It's a 3 part process, first is the PHP that you need to run, which includes the appropriate scripts and styles into the admin header, then you need an html button and input field to put the stored value in, then you need some jQuery to open the popup and get the appropriate information from it (then close it again). There more information on implementation at the URL.

(PHP) Perfect PHP .htaccess rewrites - FatFolderDesigner

Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:02:37 UTC

These two snippets together, the first in the .htaccess file, and the second in your PHP create an elegantly simple solution to arbitrary URLs with php. For a breakdown and example check out the link. Don't want to follow the link, how about the quick version. The .htaccess redirects anything that doesn't exist to the PHP, where the script breaks it apart and places it all in the $_urlvars for your own uses.

(PHP) CSS minifier and color replaces - FatFolderDesigner

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 06:40:30 UTC

With this file you can load stylesheets and minify the code while changing colors. The stylesheets are loaded using file_get_contents and you can attach them one after another if you have multiple sheets. The colors are replaces based on a variable thats commented out of the css code, an example of the way thats formatted is below the cod block. The minification is done with a regular expression that removes all comments, line breaks, and un-needed spaces. The color replacement is done with a different regular expression and the colorize function that takes the variable and returns a color. You can use whatever method you want to get the color, but I personally am using variables from a Wordpress plugin (and stores using the Wordpress options function) to give users color customizability of their site. If you have any questions or comments you can post a comment here or at the link, there is also a more in depth explanation at the link if your interested. UPDATE: improved it's ability to find colors in the CSS declaration, also added the "transparent" keyword in as something it can find.

(PHP) Simple single "loop.php" Word Press theme function - FatFolderDesigner

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 13:41:04 UTC

Instead of requiring the loop.php file in your custom themes you can use there two functions, placed in your functions.php file to not only automatically include it, but make a dead simple to filter sections out on a page by page basis negating the need for special loops for specific page types (like a search loop or a main index loop) The first section is the code you put into your functions file. The second is how you would call the new "the_loop()" function, simple but all the individual sections you want filtered out as variables, one after another. The third sections is how you would go about filtering items out. More information at the link, questions or comments can be posted here or there and I'll get back to you whenever I can.

(PHP) Simple inline PHP alternating rows - FatFolderDesigner

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 12:24:00 UTC

Traditionally when you have lost lists of dat you want to alternate rows for usability. The first thing everybody makes to fix this is a simple if statement loop, but this adds a number of lines and is hardly a clean solution. Additionally it required you to have a â€œcounterâ€ or â€œswitchâ€ variable, usually placed at the bottom of the loop, overall very messy. I had a boss who thought he was on the cutting edge by compressing the traditional if statement into a shorthand version (saving 2-3 lines of code), but the system was still using a $class variable and still requires a counting or switch variable. It was still a mess and added clutter to the code. Earlier today I was working on outputting client records forafully customized application. Wanting to avoid such messy code as I looked for a better solution and with a little tweaking and playing I came up with this. I've also included a simple example of how it's used in action. If you have any questions or concerns let me know either here or at the link (there's some more info about this method there too if your intreated).

(PHP) PHP HTML5 multi-file upload - FatFolderDesigner

Sun, 16 Jan 2011 08:49:24 UTC

Uploading multiple files at once used to be strictly in the realm of flash or required javascript to crate multiple upload forms as needed. The first method has the problems with the general incompatibility of flash. The second, well, it's a very low tech method and limits you to selecting only one file per upload form, real pain. First is the HTML form. Pretty standard all you gotta do is add the multiple tag and add brakets to the variable name. Those brakets are the key to the next set, they tell PHP to make the variable an array. Then is the PHP code. First thing you have to do is get the number of files, I used the count() on an variable then run through till you hit the count, using the variable in each $_FIES call. It's easy to retrofit an older system this way. An example of the above code can be found at the link.

(PHP) PHP absolutely relative root - FatFolderDesigner

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 10:09:07 UTC

After an attempt to more a live site to a personal server for further work I ran across the problem of a mix of absolut and relative links making the local copy not work. Not wanting to manually have to change every single absolute to a relative (because some files are called from multiple sources leading to time consuming complicated conditional relative link) I looked for ways to simple "convert" my original absolutes to relatives and come up with this. Basically, this adds the appropriate number of back links (../'s) so that it starts at your server root. This makes relative linking easier because they will always start from the same place no matter where you are or what file may be making the link. This is just a first run of it, I know of some improvements that could be made (primarily, making it a class instead of a definition because once this is set it's stuck, causing it to work incorrectly at times) but this version works for basic sites.
