WordPress Custom Fields Explanation:

WordPress Custom fields provide the unlimited power to post in the form form meta data.  While you are in the editing page in WordPress admin for your post, under the editor box you can see the “Custom Field” section which is the aka post types and is the most powerful component    of WordPress post and content. There is a pair as key/value which have the ability to handle meta-data.  The key can be a constant and known as “Name” but it should be same for all posts, while Value is a information that you can and want to display for your post which is changeable for each post.

For retrieving and displaying custome field information, there are different ways  and the simplest way is to use the the_meta(); template tag, which always echoes an unordered list containing the attributes/values seen in this example:

By default, <?php the_meta(); ?> gives us this:

<ul class=’post-meta’>
<li><span class=’post-meta-key’>Key 1:</span> Value for Key 1</li>
<li><span class=’post-meta-key’>Key 2:</span> Value for Key 2</li>
<li><span class=’post-meta-key’>Key 3:</span> Value for Key 3</li>
</ul>

 // adding custom fields to WP user profile function wparena_profiles( $contactmethods ) { // Add Twitter $contactmethods['blog_title'] = 'Blog Title'; // Add Google profile $contactmethods['google'] = 'Google+ URL'; // Add Twitter $contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter ID'; //add Facebook $contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook Profile URL'; return $contactmethods; } add_filter('user_contactmethods','wparena_profiles',10,1); // end of adding custom fields to WP user profile

How to: Set post expiration date/time on your WordPress blog

Do you regret that WordPress haven’t a feature to publish a post during only 2 days, or one week? Here is a very nice code that you can use in your WordPress theme, to enable the possibility of creating post expiration based on date and time.

<?php
if (have_posts()) :
     while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
         $expirationtime = get_post_custom_values('expiration');
         if (is_array($expirationtime)) {
             $expirestring = implode($expirationtime);
         }

         $secondsbetween = strtotime($expirestring)-time();
         if ( $secondsbetween > 0 ) {
             // For exemple...
             the_title();
             the_excerpt();
         }
     endwhile;
endif;
?>

How to: Manually define to show full post or excerpt on your homepage

Do you use excerpts or full posts on your blog excerpts? Personnally, I think they’re both good. The only problem is that you can’t, by default, use both excerpts and full posts on your blog homepage. Here’s a code to do it.

On your index.php file, replace your current loop by this one:

<?php if (have_posts()) :
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
         $customField = get_post_custom_values("full");
       	 if (isset($customField[0])) {
              //Custom field is set, display a full post
              the_title();
              the_content();
         } else {
              // No custom field set, let's display an excerpt
              the_title();
              the_excerpt();
    endwhile;
endif;
?>

Display the Digg Button only when the custom field is present

<?php
// check for digg button for single page
$digg = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Digg', $single = true);
// if there's a single page digg button
if($digg !== '') { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var s = document.createElement('SCRIPT'), s1 = document.getElementsByTagName('SCRIPT')[0];
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.async = true;
s.src = 'http://widgets.digg.com/buttons.js';
s1.parentNode.insertBefore(s, s1);
})();
</script>
<a></a>
<?php } // end if statement
// if there's not a digg button
else { echo ''; } ?>

How to: Display your current mood on your posts

Open your single.php file (You can also modify your index.php file) and paste the following code anywhere within the loop:

$customField = get_post_custom_values("mood");
if (isset($customField[0])) {
echo "Mood: ".$customField[0];

Source: How to: Display your current mood on your posts

Add Meta Descriptions To Your Posts

Open your header.php file. Paste the following code anywhere within the <head> and </head> tags:

<meta name="description" content="
<?php if ( (is_home()) || (is_front_page()) ) {
    echo ('Your main description goes here');
} elseif(is_category()) {
    echo category_description();
} elseif(is_tag()) {
    echo '-tag archive page for this blog' . single_tag_title();
} elseif(is_month()) {
    echo 'archive page for this blog' . the_time('F, Y');
} else {
    echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Metadescription", true);
}?>">

How to: Link to some external ressource in post title

The first thing to do is to open your functions.php file and paste the following code:

function print_post_title() {
	global $post;
	$thePostID = $post->ID;
	$post_id = get_post($thePostID);
	$title = $post_id->post_title;
	$perm  = get_permalink($post_id);
	$post_keys = array(); $post_val  = array();
	$post_keys = get_post_custom_keys($thePostID);

	if (!empty($post_keys)) {
  	  foreach ($post_keys as $pkey) {
    	    if ($pkey=='url1' || $pkey=='title_url' || $pkey=='url_title') {
      	      $post_val = get_post_custom_values($pkey);
    	    }
  	  }
  	  if (empty($post_val)) {
    	    $link = $perm;
  	  } else {
    	    $link = $post_val[0];
  	  }
	} else {
  	  $link = $perm;
	}
	echo '<h2><a href="'.$link.'" rel="bookmark" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a></h2>';
}

Once done, open your index.php file and replace the standard code for printing titles:

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

by a call to our newly created print_post_title() function:

<?php print_post_title() ?>

Now, whenever you feel like let your post title leave your blog and point someplace else, just scroll down in your post writing screen, create or select a custom key named url1 or title_url or url_titleand put that external URL in value box.

    $css = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'css', true);
    if (!empty($css)) { ?>
        <style type="text/css">
        <?php echo $css; ?>

    $customField = get_post_custom_values("title");
    if (isset($customField[0])) {
        echo $customField[0];
    } else {
        single_post_title();
    }
} elseif (is_page() ) {
    bloginfo('name'); echo ': '; single_post_title();
} else {
    wp_title('',true);
} ?>
</title>

Disable Search Engine Indexing For Individual Posts

To achieve, first get the ID of the post you’d like to be not indexed by search engines. In this exemple, I assume your post id is 17.
Open your header.php file and paste the following code between the <head> and </head> tags:

 <?php if ($post->ID == 17) {
    echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex">';
}

How to: Easily get the value of a custom field

You have to paste it on your theme functions.php file. If your theme doesn’t have a file named functions.php, create one.

function get_custom_field_value($szKey, $bPrint = false) {
	global $post;
	$szValue = get_post_meta($post->ID, $szKey, true);
	if ( $bPrint == false ) return $szValue; else echo $szValue;
}

Now, to call the function and get your custom field value, use the following code:

<?php if ( function_exists('get_custom_field_value') ){
        get_custom_field_value('featured_image', true);
} ?>

First, we use the php function_exists() function to make sure the get_custom_field_value function is defined on our theme. If it is, we use it. The first argument is the custom field name (here,featured_image) and the second let you echo the value (true) or get it for further use in php (false).

Rewrite Guest Author’s name with Custom Fields

add_filter( 'the_author', 'guest_author_name' );

function guest_author_name( $name ) {
global $post;

$author = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'guest-author', true );

if ( $author )
$name = $author;

return $name;
}

?>

The blogging world is no exception to this trend. Once almost solely delivered in written form, blogs these days are just as likely to incorporate photos, audio, and, yes, video as well. And, if you have a WordPress blog, adding video to your mix isn’t just the popular thing to do – now, with VideoPress, it’s extremely easy and straightforward as well.

You can download the plugin from the VideoPress website, and for the price of only $60/year it will help you upload, organize, and present your video content. All this is done free of ads and for any number of videos that are less than 1 GB in size. Instead of hosting your video on an outside platform, you can instead keep it – and its viewers – firmly grounded on your site.

But why would a blogger even want video in the first place? What advantages can it confer? Let’s take a look at some of the key benefits:

Diversify your offerings

The incorporation of video can quickly turn a text-heavy site into a more diversified one. This can help your blog appeal to a different type of reader. It can also give you a new outlet for communicating your thoughts, arguments, and advice.

Lower your bounce rate.

Visitors to a blog, especially those of the first-time variety, are especially prone to skimming content rather than fully reading it. This results in lower bounce rates. With video, you can help counter this problem because the medium is harder to skim and, consequently, people are likely to watch it for longer periods of time.

Improve your SEO.

Video brings with it numerous SEO benefits, chief among them that video results are fifty times more likely to appear on the first page of a Google search. Other benefits can be realized by using tags, keywords, and dedicated video libraries.

Prevent against writer’s block.

Any writer or blogger will occasionally experience a period when writing feels like an arduous and impossible task. During these times it is often nice to have another option – ie video – through which you can convey your arguments without having to type them out.

Bring in more advertising money.

Online advertisers have fully embraced video in the past year, whether through text ads that appear on a streaming feature or commercial-like advertisements that precede or follow a video. These ads can bring in far more money for the blogger than can standard banner campaigns.

These are just a few of the many advantages that come with video blogging. While video posts are not appropriate for every blog and should not be incorporated without thought, when used correctly they are a great tool and a great way to bring in some more traffic.

jQuery Slider, Slideshow and jQuery Carousel Effects

3d Rotation Viewer

This example is inspired by a showcase example by Apple of HTML5 technologies. The UIZE implementation works in pretty much all browsers, with no need for HTML5 or CSS3 features. This was an exercise in seeing how easy it would be to create an equivalent experience in UIZE. It was easy, taking less than a day. The code is all original, with absolutely no referencing of Apple’s code (but thanks to Apple for their delicious iPod Touch products, and for their fabulous photos of said products). In the example, an instance of the Uize.Widget.Drag class is being used to create a simple 3D rotation viewer. Using a mouse, you can click and drag to rotate the 3D image. On an Apple iPad, you can use your finger.

When using this plugin, your page layout will be consistent even if javascript has been disabled. This slider includes a smooth and powerful Ken Burns effect which is completely configurable and compatible with all major browsers (including ie7 to ie9, Firefox Chrome, Opera, Safari) and mobile platforms like iphone / ipad. If the Ken Burns effect is not your thing, that’s OK because the “Estro” slider also includes a 2-way “Swipe” mode with configurable transitions.

• Popup blockers are no problem. The content opens within the active browser window.

• Outstanding, unconditional and free user support for both commercial and non-commercial users.
• Compatibility and safe degrading. If the user has disabled JavaScript or is using an old browser, the browser redirects directly to the image itself or to a given HTML page.
• Source code included.

CrossSlide

CrossSlide is a jQuery plugin implementing in 2kB of Javascript code some common slide-show animations, traditionally only available via Adobe Flash™ or other proprietary plugins. CrossSlide builds upon jQuery’s animation facility, so it is as portable across browsers as jQuery itself (that is, a lot!) Internally CrossSlide does not rely on lookup tables, building instead a “chain” of functions. Each function starts a linear phase of the animation through jQuery, setting the next function in the chain as a complete callback. After all the functions are prepared and the animation is started, no other calculations are made. This setup reduces runtime overhead to the absolute minimum, making CrossSlide the most optimized implementation of these effects.

Thumbnails Navigation Gallery with jQuery

In this tutorial we are going to create an extraordinary gallery with scrollable thumbnails that slide out from a navigation. We are going to use jQuery and some CSS3 properties for the style. The main idea is to have a menu of albums where each item will reveal a horizontal bar with thumbnails when clicked. The thumbnails container will scroll automatically when the user moves the mouse to the left or right.

Step Carousel Viewer

Step Carousel Viewer displays images or even rich HTML by side scrolling them left or right. Users can step to any specific panel on demand, or browse the gallery sequentially by stepping through x number of panels each time. A smooth sliding animation is used to transition between steps. And fear not in taming this script to go exactly where you want it to- two public methods, two custom event handlers, and three “status” variables are here for that purpose.

Text Effects with jQuery

jQuery Word Counter

This plugin allows you to set and limit user input by max characters within html textarea (it is only limited by characters other than words). It binds keyup, paste and drag events. The extra div is displayed under the textarea, which shows the current number of input characters and words. You can set your own styles and customise the text counter information. Version 2 provides the callback function.

jTicker Typing Text Effect using jQuery

For long now flash has been dominating the interactive web animation, using JavaScript was a daunting task. But introduction of frameworks like jQuery, MooTools, Scriptaculous, etc have made animating web component much easier. Another advantage of using these frameworks over flash is that they are search engine friendly. Though search engine do not index JavaScript, actual content is present in html or other SEO friendly code.

Codename Rainbows

Even without Photoshop, you can make text effects with this by just typing a little code.

Grab bag, jQuery text effects

Some fun little text effects. These manipulate $(ele).text() so will probably be disastrously broken with inner HTML content.

Color Changing Text and Backgrounds Effects

Normally you would define the (background) color in the CSS and that would be the end of it. In this case we want to be able to adjust colors after the page has loaded, and not just once either – we’re aiming for continuous adjustments.

The lovely part about this whole thing is the small about of jQuery required to make it all happen.

Approach is a jQuery plugin that allows you to animate style properties based on the cursor’s proximity to an object. It works in a very similar manner to jQuery animate, however it animates over distance instead of time.

AutoCompleter

AutoCompleter Tutorial

I thought i would write this tutorial because most of the auto completer applications i have seen just dump the code into a zip and tell you how to use it rather than how and why it works, knowing about this enables you to customise it a lot more (this has been demonstrated with the other apps i have written here)!

3d Tag Sphere

A rotating 3d tag cloud controlled with the mouse. Tags are scaled according to the weight assigned to them and fade into the background as they rotate.

Simple jQuery Text Resizer

The idea is very simple: you click on the text size you want, and a class is added to the body to indicate which size the user has selected. Then, we take advantage of that body class when we are writing our CSS to size the different elements appropriately.

Airport

Airport is a rather simple text effect plugin for Jquery. It emulates the style of those flickering information boards you sometimes find on airports and train stations.

Zooming with jQuery

This is basic level tutorial just changing style using jQuery script. It’s simple use it for zooming website content. Take a look at live demo

jQuery Label Effects

A jQuery plugin that applies highlight and shadow effects to text in a control.

jQuery Flying Text With Fade Effect

With this great javascript framework, jQuery, you can create some flash like effects. In this post, I will show how to create very simple flying and fading text effect using jQuery. Here is live demo.

Animation Effects with jQuery

Dynamic PNG shadow position & opacity with jQuery

You can drag objects and place them anywhere you want. As well, there is a switch that can be turned on to amaze your visitors.

Image Cube

A jQuery plugin that sets a division to rotate between images (or other things) as if they were on the faces of a cube.

jQuery.Smart3D

Interesting effects, which can be used on site-header. It’s very simple to use: several layers glued together into a 3D effect. See examples of using this jQuery plugin!

3D Sphere

This tutorial will walk you through how to create a Sphere in jQuery.

 3D Tag Cloud

This tutorial will show how to create a scrolling 3D tag cloud…it’s not as difficult as you might think.

Flip HTML content in 3D

In order to use the rotate3Di jQuery plugin, your web page will need to include jQuery v1.2.6 or newer, the jQuery CSS Transform patch, and the rotate3Di plugin itself.

Circulate

This is a very excellent plugin. after open the page, the object will revolve around the page and if you click the buttons, it will jump in a circular motion and bounce back into position.

Spritely

jQuery.spritely is a jQuery plugin created by Artlogic for creating dynamic character and background animation in pure HTML and JavaScript. It’s a simple, light-weight plugin with a few simple methods for creating animated sprites such as the birds you see on this page, and dynamic scrolling backgrounds.

Animated Curtain

This tutorial would not be anything special without the graphics, so let’s make sure you’ve got those under control. I’ve included the ones used in demo as part of the attached files, now would be a good time to download them if you intend to use them.

 jQuery Animated Postcard

Nicely illustrated banners are…nice. But why not add a little pizazz by using animation like Flash websites do? Through Javascript web pages are becoming increasingly less static and all sorts of creative possibilities are opening up.

Quicksand

Reorder and filter items with a nice shuffling animation.

Puffing Smoke Effect in jQuery

Creating this fun jQuery effect doesn’t take too much effort. I am going to quickly go through the steps of using this effect to show you how easy it can be. As you can see on the example page, you can selected different types of smoke that will adjust the effect while keeping the code intact.

Download the source code here: http://www.gayadesign.com/scripts/smokeeffect/smokeEffect.zip.

View the examples here: http://www.gayadesign.com/scripts/smokeeffect/

jAni jQuery Plugin Animation

jAni is a simple plugin for jQuery which allows you animate background images. The plugin is basically an alternative to the animated GIF but with several benefits. At first, it’s always better to use an animated GIF as this format is supported by all browsers without any JavaScript code or additional markup, but the “dark side” of it is that an animated GIF allows only 256 colors and you cannot control animation in any way. The jAni loads a long vertical image and changes its background position with the speed you setup, giving you more control of the animation.

Animated Landscape Header with jQuery

In this tutorial we’ll start with a cartoon themed header, build two different states for content and animate a transition between them using jQuery.

jQuery Parallax

A parallax style implementation of user interactions. When the mouse moves over the document (or a specific element) the actions can be translated to modify any CSS property of an element for example an image position, to give a parallax style effect.

Rezoner’s jEffects

jEffects enhances user interaction by providing decorative effects. It’s all packaged into an intuitive jQuery plugin. Detailed documentation is included.

Rotating Billboard with jQuery

In this tutorial we will use some images, CSS and jQuery to create the effect of a rotating billboard with two ads. The idea is to make one set of image slices disappear while another one (the other ad) appear. We will decrease the width of each disappearing slice and increase the width of each appearing slice. This will give the effect of rotating slices, just like in a rotating billboard system.

jQuery Flight Board

A jQuery plugin that sets a division to flip between text messages like a flight board at an airport.

Animated Cartoon Robot with jQuery

Aside from being a fun exercise, what purpose does something like this have? None that’s plainly obvious. Its about as useful as a miniature ship in a bottle. Yet it does have an underlying purpose. It could inspire someone to look beyond the perceived constraints of web designers and developers.

Custom Animation Banner with jQuery

The idea is to have different elements in a banner that will animate step-wise in a custom way. We will be using the jQuery Easing Plugin and the jQuery 2D Transform Plugin to create some nifty animations.

Free Christmas Email Templates

“Holiday – Seasons Greetings” – HTML Email Template (designed by Bob)

From the designer:

“Normally I choose not to use a background color for my email templates, however, for this design I couldn’t resist. Recently in a lot of my design work I’ve been tending to add a light source which I think helps bring the design to life giving it a more sophisticated feel. I also carried the snowflakes slightly outside of the frame of the email to make the design feel that much more three dimensional.”

“Holiday – Snow Hills” – HTML Email Template (designed by Dan)

From the designer:

I chose to include a snow scene in the template to elicit the feeling of winter and a white Christmas. Blue was the obvious color scheme choice for me to add to the feeling of winter. The candy cane-like red and white stripe was added to help separate the header and body content. This also provided a bit of color variation and visual interest below the snow scene in the header of this Christmas email template.
