Richard Haver Furniture Maker

Jackson — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 18:14:17 +0000

Rick Haver makes custom furniture at his shop in Shoreham, Vermont.

“I’ve progressed from the simple foursquare Mission and Shaker styles to one that I find hard to neatly characterize. My work attempts to surprise, show an “energy” residing in the piece, be fluid and organic to some degree, and incorporate the world’s most beautiful woods. I specialize in small to medium tables because they maximize the aesthetic return for the effort and materials used.”

Simple iframe Shortcode Plugin

Jackson — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 20:50:25 +0000

I was unable to find anything that made it easy to paste iframe embed codes into the visual editor. The existing solutions all required me to transpose info from the embed code to the shortcode. This allows you to simply paste your iframe code. Just put it inside [iframe][/iframe].

Update: Now available in repository as plugin ready to go

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/iframe-shortcode/

add_shortcode( 'iframe', 'simple_iframe_sc' );

function simple_iframe_sc( $atts, $content = null ) {
    $char = array( '‘', '’', '“', '”', '′', '″' );
    $replace = array( "'", "'", '"', '"', "'", '"' );
    return html_entity_decode( str_replace( $char, $replace, $content ) );
}

Example use:

WordPress Watching WordPress

Jackson — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 21:25:22 +0000

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and finally did. I took the website monitoring script I’ve used for awhile and turned it into a WordPress plugin. Tyrone the WP Watchdog is now available in the WordPress plugin repository.

Tyrone turns a WordPress install into a monitoring tool, which allows you to keep tabs on all the installations you’re responsible for. This is designed for people who are managing say 20 or more installations of WordPress. Tyrone will sniff out your sites and try and determine the version and flag those that are not up to date. He can also look for known spam terms, or whatever you like.

I’m actively using and developing the plugin, and appreciate constructive feedback. A more detailed write up and screenshots will follow soon.

Adding Custom CSS Classes to TinyMCE Format Dropdown

Jackson — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 20:23:02 +0000

I got this question at the Happiness Bar at WordCamp (in front of Andrew Ozz to boot!) also, so I’m committing it to bits here.

function custom_mce_styles( $init ) {
    $init['theme_advanced_buttons2_add_before'] = 'styleselect';
    $init['theme_advanced_styles'] = 'Style Name=styleclass,Style Name2=styleclass2';
    return $init;
}

add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'custom_mce_styles'  );

function my_mce_css() {
    return get_bloginfo( 'template_url' ) . '/editor-style.css';
}

add_filter( 'mce_css', 'my_mce_css' );

Add this to your theme’s functions.php file. Obviously (or not) you’ll replace Style Name=styleclass,Style Name2=styleclass2 with your own comma sep. list of names and classes.

To style the appearance of the display within the visual editor, you need to create an editor stylesheet in your theme folder – ex: editor-style.css

To add the dropdown to the first row, revise line 2:

$init['theme_advanced_buttons1_add_before'] = 'styleselect';

One File WordPress Deploy

Jackson — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:45:19 +0000

This works great on Rackspace Cloud Sites, and eliminates the need to upload an archive or individual files. Script works by grabbing and unpacking the latest stable version of WordPress.

Create a new file in your web root, ie: deploy.php
Add the contents from below
Upload the file
Visit http://yourdomain.com/deploy.php
When the script is complete, connect via SFTP and edit wp-config.php accordingly
The script will have unpacked WordPress and deleted itself
Behold the glory that is WordPress, and the fuzzy feeling that accompanies going from zero to WordPress in but a minute.
