WP Photo Album Plus Plus: WordPress Image Gallery

Most of the wordpress image gallery plugins can not make me happy. NExtgen is too much heavy, then I got another wordpress plugin “WP Photo Album Plus” developed by J.N. Breetvelt, a.k.a. (OpaJaap). R.J. Kaplan developed WP Photo Album 1.5.1 and then J.N. Breetvelt extended it with new features. Really I like this simple but powerfull gallery plugin. But something I didn’t like which I am trying to modify and releasing for every body so that I can get more ideas from other and even this modification can be done to main plugin too. Though my modification is not done yet! But why not I share my last modification and explain what I have done upto now 🙂

Adding My posts sub menu for posts section in wordpress

Let me explain the situation. Suppose you have contributor access to wordpress. If you go to posts page in admin panel that list all posts and here you are not author of all posts. you will see the url like
[code language=”php”]edit.php?post_type=post&all_posts=1[/code] and All( total post number here). There will be another menu named Mine(Current user post number). All link is default. So we can make nother submenu of posts in admin section for Mine link directly. Let me show you the few lines code.
[code language=”php”]add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘manchu_myposts’);
function manchu_myposts()
{
if (function_exists(‘add_submenu_page’))
{
//$parent, $page_title, $menu_title, $access_level, $file, $function = ”
add_submenu_page(‘edit.php’,’My Posts’,’My posts’, 1, ‘edit.php?post_type=post&author=’.get_current_user_id());
}
}[/code]
You can copy-paste above code in your theme functions.php file and it will show a new sub menu in posts ectin as My posts. Multi user blog users can get easily link for his/her posts.

it’s just a easy way to make personal posts link for any user have access at leas contributor. Access level 1 belongs to contributor..

Update: 15-09-2011

While working on a project I got a tips from stackoverflow wordpress site about showing only specific author’s posts in author mode.
[code language=”php”]
function cb_posts_for_current_author($query) {
global $pagenow;

if( ‘edit.php’ != $pagenow || !$query->is_admin )
return $query;

if( !current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) {
global $user_ID;
$query->set(‘author’, $user_ID );
}
return $query;
}
add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘cb_posts_for_current_author’);
[/code]

thank you

Download Category widget for WP-DownloadManager plugin

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 :D. 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 :D. 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 😀

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 😛

Fix wp plugin “Post and Page Excerpt Widgets” not to break conditional tag

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

ওয়ার্ড প্রেস টিপ্স২

গতকাল ওয়ার্ড প্রেস নিয়ে লিখেছিলাম এই টপিকে এবং আমার ব্লগে এখানে। আজকে আবার নতুন কিছু নিয়ে লিখবো ,সাথে সাথে গতকালের ধারবাহিকতা চলবে। আমরা এই সিরিজের মূল উদ্দেশ্য ওয়ার্ড প্রেসের নরমাল ইউজার থেকে শুরু করা ওয়ার্ড প্রেস বেসড ওয়েব ডেভেলপার সবার জন্য আমার জানা ট্রিক্স ও তথ্যগুলো শেয়ার করাঃ
তিনঃ ‘থীমে সাব থীম ফাইল যুক্ত করা’

আগের দিন বলেছিলাম কিভাবে নতুন হেডার ফাইল যুক্ত করা যায়। চাইলে নিচের মতো করেও আমরা নতুন ফাইল থীমের যে কোন জায়গায় যুক্ত করতে পারি। কারণ একই ফাইলে অনেক কিছু লিখলে ট্রাক রাখা সমস্যা হয়।

[code language=”php”]< ?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/yourfilename.php’); ?>[/code]

yourfilename.php নামের ফাইলটি আপনার বর্তমান এক্টিভ বা যে থীম নিয়ে কাজ করছেন তার ভেতর রাখুন। আর অন্য থীম ফাইলের যেখানে দরকার সেখানে ব্যবহার করুন। TEMPLATEPATH আপনার বর্তমান থীমের ডিরেক্টরী। প্রশ্ন করতে পারেন এমন ঝামেলা কেন করবো বা এটার সুবিধা কি তাই তো ? হুম… ওয়ার্ড প্রেস দিয়েই আপনি চাইলে জুমলার মতো সাইটে বানিয়ে ফেলতে পারেন। জুমলাতে আমরা মডুল প্লেস হিসাবে যা বলে থাকি ওয়ার্ড প্রেসে তাকে বলা হয় সাইডবার(sidebar) আর মডুল গুলোকে ওয়ার্ড প্রেসের ভাষায়(বলা যেতে পারে) উইজেস(widget). আপনি চাইলে ওয়ার্ড প্রেসে যত ইচ্ছা সাইড বার ব্যবহার করতে পারেন তবে আপনার থীমে সেই সাপোর্ট থাকতে হবে। এই বিষয়টা নিয়ে পরের পোস্টে লিখি তাহলে।

চারঃ ‘ওয়ার্ড প্রেসে যত ইচ্ছা সাইড বার যুক্ত করা’

প্রথমেই বলে রাখি নতুন কিছু জানার আগ্রহ না থাকলে বা এক্সপেরিমেন্ট করার ইচ্ছা না থাকলে এখনই মানে মানে কেটে পড়তে পারেন না হলে পরে পস্তাবেন। :ttt:

‘তিন’ নং টিপ্সের কিছু বলা দরকার। ওয়ার্ডপ্রেসে আমরা নিচের কোড টুকু দিয়ে সাইডবার ফাইলটি লোড করি।

[code language=”php”]< ?php get_sidebar(); ?>[/code]

এটা যা করে তা হলো থীমের ভেতর sidebar.php ফাইলটা include করে। এখন যদি আপনার বিশেষ পাতায় বিশেষ কোড লেখা সাইড বার দরকার হয় তাহলে কি করবেন সেটা যদি এখনও না ভেবে থাকেন তাহলে আপনার উপর আমি এখনি কিন্তু খেপে গেছি। >:D< হ্যাঁ সেই আগের ট্রিক্স এখন যে সাইড বার ফাইলটা আছে সেটা কপি করে নতুন ফাইলে হিসাবে সেইভ করুন আর নাম দিন আগের সেই ফরম্যাটে যেমন sidebar-mycustomsidebar.php আর এই ফাইলে নিজের ইচ্ছা মতো পরিবর্তন করুন। আর এটা লোড করুন এই ভাবে

[code language=”php”]<?php get_sidebar(‘mycustomsidebar’); ?>[/code]

। মজা ?

A poor or faster way to add wptinybn support to wp TinyMCEComments plugin

Ok let me at first tell why this post ?
I have a wp plugin named wptinybn which enables users to write in unicode bangla for different types of bengali keyboard in wp visual editor which is based on tinymce. Actually my wp plugin is based on my tinymce plugin tinybn. That means besides the wptinybn the tinybn plugin is a standalone tinymce plugin. So it should work with everywhere with tinymce. ok.. I am 25% done 🙂

There is another wp plugin named TinyMCEComments which enables wp users to write comments through tinymce editor. I am 50% done. Cool na ?

One of my reader asked me how to add the tinybn support to TinyMCEComments. I just check that plugin’s code and I have that plugin installed in my own blog too though not enabled! Yes my answer is yes … that means it’s possible. It can be done in different ways. As a quick thinking I am giving a poor or faster (whatever u think) way to do that. I am 75% done… wait a bit man.

Download the wptinybn and TinyMCEComments plugin and install them. (if u want not to install wptinybn to do that then it’s ok, I mean no dependency). Check wptinybn(unzip first!) folder and you should find a folder in it named “banglafkb”.Copy this and paste in wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins folders in your blog wp installation. Done ? ok now …

hmm now you have to be more brave to edit the TinyMCEComments plugin… not much in deed. Open file tinyMCEComments.php and find the word “pls”. Stop to it’s first occurance the word will be like $pls and it’s a array and here parts of code is like
[code=’php’]$pls = array(‘separator’,’bold’,’italic’,’underline’,’strikethrough’,’justifyleft’,’justifycenter’,’justifyright’,’justifyfull’,’bullist’,’numlist’,’outdent’,’indent’,’cut’,’copy’,’paste’,’undo’,’redo’,’link’,’unlink’,’cleanup’,’help’,’code’,’hr’,’removeformat’,’sub’,’sup’,’forecolor’,’backcolor’,’charmap’,’visualaid’,’blockquote’,’spellchecker’,’fullscreen’);[/code]
now place // before this line and it will be like bellow
[code=’php’]
//$pls = array(‘separator’,’bold’,’italic’,’underline’,’strikethrough’,’justifyleft’,’justifycenter’,’justifyright’,’justifyfull’,’bullist’,’numlist’,’outdent’,’indent’,’cut’,’copy’,’paste’,’undo’,’redo’,’link’,’unlink’,’cleanup’,’help’,’code’,’hr’,’removeformat’,’sub’,’sup’,’forecolor’,’backcolor’,’charmap’,’visualaid’,’blockquote’,’spellchecker’,’fullscreen’);[/code]
we just kept the old code .
now in new line put this bellow code
[code=’php’]
$pls = array(‘separator’,’bold’,’italic’,’underline’,’strikethrough’,’justifyleft’,’justifycenter’,’justifyright’,’justifyfull’,’bullist’,’numlist’,’outdent’,’indent’,’cut’,’copy’,’paste’,’undo’,’redo’,’link’,’unlink’,’cleanup’,’help’,’code’,’hr’,’removeformat’,’sub’,’sup’,’forecolor’,’backcolor’,’charmap’,’visualaid’,’blockquote’,’spellchecker’,’fullscreen’,’banglafkb’);
[/code]

If you check the above code what I have added new here ? just that ,’banglafkb’

I am 90% done. Now to to your admin panel activate tinymcecomments plugin then from menu Settings go to it’s(that plugin’s) setting page and check (if you done above copy pase and code editing) ‘banglafkb’ is in the button list and in the available plugin list. Just click both banglafkb to add from button list and plugin list. For button list click seperator before banglafkb that will be make a | seperator in editor. Now save this new option and check your comment form.

Angry one me ? You have done every thing properly but nothing new in the editor and u don’t see any change in the preview editor int the plugin options page. Don’t worry. The plugin keeps the setting in cache for 10 days. So to get the changes within one sec just open the tinyMCEComments.php file and pls check from top few liens code

there is a line like
$mcecomment_expiresOffset = 3600 * 24 * 10; // Cache for 10 days in browser cache
make this line comment I mean like
//$mcecomment_expiresOffset = 3600 * 24 * 10; // Cache for 10 days in browser cache
and now put a new line bellow it like
$mcecomment_expiresOffset = 1; // Cache for 1 sec in browser cache

now save this file and check the option’s page’s preview editor.

I think I am 100% done now. mu ha ha.

Oh I forgot to say currently I am working on a joomla plugin to make the dates in bangla for front end for articles, actually it will work with com_content …hope to release this on the eid-durga puja vacation.

Again here is some screenshot(one is above) of this post’s summary.
