Gravity Forms Submit via AJAX

I’ve been using the very useful Gravity Forms (www.gravityforms.com) plug-in for a number of different projects. It does a lot of great stuff, but one thing it doesn’t do (at least not yet) is allow for ajax form submission. For some projects, that’s a bit of a drawback. After poking around looking for a solution, [...]

WordPress Password Protected Pages / Posts Error Logging In Fixed

I’m running WordPress 3 with Domain Mapping on one installation. The domain mapping plugin lets you map sub-blogs (www.mysite.com/blogone and www.mysite.com/blogtwo) to unique URLs (www.mysite.com and www.myothersite.com). I recently discovered when I went to password protect a page on one of the sites that it totally failed. The password form would load, but when I [...]

Adding a Custom Header Image to xHanch My Twitter

I earlier posted about how to modify the layout of the excellent xHanch My Twitter plug in for WordPress (http://xhanch.com/wp-plugin-my-twitter/). Once I had the Twitter feed for that particular project looking the way I wanted, there was one last customization I wanted to make — a new header image for it. The xHanch plugin comes [...]

Making a Table-style Layout of Your Twitter Feed

A plugin I’m a big fan of is xHanch’s My Twitter (http://xhanch.com/wp-plugin-my-twitter/). It allows you to easily display your Twitter feed in any widget area of your site, with lots of options for layout, which info. to share (only your Tweets, re-Tweets, replies, etc.) and the latest version displays user avatars as well. Installs in [...]

WordPress + Flowplayer Template Tags

If you’re looking to add videos to your WordPress blog, there are all sorts of options for integrating YouTube and other hosted video sites. There aren’t nearly as many choices when it comes to videos that you host yourself. By far the best I’ve found is Flowplayer (http://www.saiweb.co.uk/wordpress-flowplayer). Downloading and installing it is straight forward [...]

Events Manager Google Maps Fine Tune Formatting

Another “bug” that cropped up in working with the Events Manager plugin and Google Maps was that the size of the map was hardcoded into the plugin. I’d rather have the map auto-size itself to fit the particular layout. The solution for that is to edit the dbem_locations.php file at line 595 which starts

Events Manager, WordPress Multi-Blog Site & Google Maps API Key Fix

To go along with my last post, here’s another fix for sites with multiple blogs and domain mapping. If you have two or more sites each with a unique domain name, you’ll need two (or more) Google Maps API keys, one for each domain. The reason is that Google ties the keys to the domain [...]

WordPress Events Manager Google Maps Fix

I’m running WordPress 3.0 with several different domains mapped to it. So www.siteone.com and www.anothersite.com, etc. are resolved to different blogs, which are all part of the main www.newportcreativegroup.com blog. I recently came across an error with the Events Manager plug-in(http://davidebenini.it/wordpress-plugins/events-manager/) where users were selecting locations when they posted a new event, but seeing the [...]

Ordering Posts by Number of Views

This was a particularly vexing one. After installing Lester Chan’s WP-PostViews plugin (http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/) I thought I would be able to easily set up a “Most Viewed” block ordered by number of views.  The WP Codex says that you can use meta_key and meta_value in query_posts. Since views is a new meta_key added by the plugin, theoretically you [...]

Events Manager Time Input Fix

Odd bug: On a WordPressMU install the time picker only allows 24-hour input. Tracked it down to the file dbem_events.php. Starting around line 1203 you’ll find <code> function dbem_event_form($event, $title, $element) </code> A bit further down it uses WP’s built in get_locate() function to figure out where you are and set the format to 12 [...]
