  1. I am going to write my own WordPress Plugin (from scratch).

     

    I am wondering if anyone here has had any experience doing this and if they can offer any suggestions.

     

    I have been looking for some sort of comprehensive list of all the "hooks", "Filters" and "actions" and what they are used for.

     

    Your best source is the Plugin API in the Wordpress Codex - http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

     

    Good luck and have fun! :)

  2. I purchased the cs3 videos got them down loaded zip filed opened when I went to look at them voice is there but no video? would you know what that might be? thank you herb b.

     

    Definitely email for support as indicated, but I also recommend VLC media player, just google it. I find it the best for watching all kinds of video files. Quicktime is available from the Apple website.

  3. I have a few clients like that. What I do is offer a ticket-based maintenance system that covers upgrades (such as upgrading between versions of Wordpress) and minor edits. So for instance a client will purchase 10 tickets for $x dollars and that entitles them to asking for 10 edits/minor changes. Then if something comes up like a need to upgrade their Wordpress installation I let them know and give them the option to do it themselves or to have me do it for one ticket.

  4. Is there already a Wordpress Plugin development tutorial/screencast on Killer Sites? I didn't see it even in the list of stuff in the Uni.

     

    We will be coming out with one ... probably within a month.

    Wonderful wonderful wonderful :D:D !! I assume it will be possible to buy it by itself? I ask this because I had already purchased a lot of the other tut series.

  5. I purchased the Killer Sites series on building a theme so I'm getting to do that and getting better at it. Next I plan to delve into developing plugins

     

    We may have a tutorial on plugin development for Wordpress.

     

    Thanks for picking up the Wordpress theme building tutorial.

    OK, I looked around but couldn't find the plugin development tutorial. Is it in the Killer Sites University somewhere? I would definitely pick that one up too. I haven't bought a membership yet because I had bought most of the series tuts before KSU came along.

  6. I use Wordpress on two blogs and have built a couple of small sites for clients with it. I purchased the Killer Sites series on building a theme so I'm getting to do that and getting better at it. Next I plan to delve into developing plugins :) Wordpress is pretty sweet to use.

     

    For more heavy duty websites I use Drupal which I find to be an amazingly powerful system. I also use MODx CMS which is pretty flexible and whose power I don't think I've even started tapping into.

  7. Hi Everyone,

     

    I am struggling with the div's in my website layout. The link is http://www.independentsunsupport.com/

    I added yellow and red as dummy colors for the background so that I can understand where the problem lies.

    I want the footer menu to be just below the main content.

    Can anyone please help me with this layout problem. It is very much appreciated.

    Thank you.

     

     

    Are you floating your sidebar and main content areas? If yes you may need to clear the floats before adding the footer div.

  8. ya that is different from my 1000 pages & cpanel is diff

     

    any way

    thnx

     

    Where is your hosting company? Also, how are you trying to install wordpress, are you using the cpanel automatic script installer or did you upload the files yourself and try to install that way? Installing Wordpress is pretty straightforward on a regular cPanel. Do you have any other websites hosted?

  9. While I really do not understand what you are trying to say (what is your native language??) - MS Office is NOT something anyone should EVER use to make any web page EVER!!!!

     

    I suspect the OP wants a way to automatically place the banner code in each of the 1000 pages without having to open each one individually and copy paste, and OP is wondering if there is any online or offline software that will make that possible.

  10. I was wondering if there's a way the OP could do this programmatically by writing a PHP script that would go through each file and append the text for the header to the top of each HTML document, but I'm not yet good enough with PHP to know if this is actually possible or to even attempt it :D

     

    And yes, the tools used to create these pages is a little scary :o

  11. I have set up and customized a wordpress blog for a client who is now twittering. I have installed a twitter widget for her but the link there is nothing to do with her latest tweet or what ever you call it. I don't know how to get these "follow me on twitter" etc things happening for her. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks.... Here is the link Here is the link to the blog http://phoenixnaturals.ca/blog/'>http://phoenixnaturals.ca/blog/ and her other site where I do have a follow me link... http://phoenixnaturals.ca/

     

    I think what you're looking for is a plugin that will allow your client's latest tweets to show on her sidebar? Is this correct?

     

    Is yes, you might want to look at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-widget/ (if your theme is widget ready). Read the installation instructions to see where you need to place her twitter username so that her status updates show.

     

    If you just want a follow me link then you can just place a text widget (or text box area) into your sidebar and place her twitter url there, or else code it into your theme.

     

    HTH

  12. Not to be redundant but I absolutely concur. Start with the very basics, learn to write your own code, write some apps, THEN delve into a framework. This approach will mean you get a better grasp of what's going with the classes and helpers that a framework provides you.

     

    Good luck!

  13. thanks for the replies, i think we're going to keep it simple for now, but as i learn more and gain confidence/experience i'd like to add a forum and downloads etc.

     

    thanks again

    Then I would recommend you start with something that you can eventually scale up, especially if you anticipate growing and expanding what the site will offer.

  14. xWhen you say intuit, what do you mean exactly? I can only think of the company behind Quickbooks and I'm sure that's not who you're referring to... lol

    Yes, that's actually the same company, oddly enough. http://www.intuit.com/

     

    It is one way to go, but the designs are pretty generic and not something I'd personally recommend to clients.

     

    LOL, you're absolutely right, I just looked at their website a little more carefully... wow!

  15. Wordpress is nice and easy to set up, but depending on how complex his site is going to be you may need something more hefty. For example when you say a portal site, does this mean he needs to have user interaction like a forum, private downloads, etc. ? If the site is going to pretty simple and he's the only one adding content then Wordpress may do the the trick. If he needs user interaction, a forum, private downloads, etc etc you may want to go with something like Drupal.

  16. Ok, in a nutshell. I purchased a domain name and e-mail thing at intuit. Went to their web design page and actually started working on one of the web templates,however, it just seemed kinda lame. I came here and saw your templates and it seemed like they are soooo much better. I know NOTHING about web design but I am fairly intelligent and was able to follow all of the tutorials on starting. But, I really don't want to start from scratch and I am wondering how it works to purchase a template. Is it as easy to plug in the information on yours as at intuit? Will a web thing just pop up and I work on it then what? Does it automatically go over to intuit? It says that by using a template any web designer could configure it for the client. Does that mean I need a web designer to do it?

    if they're a web hosting company, they should have a way where you can upload and set up any templates you purchase and then build your website.
