New Textmate and Coda Starter Plugins For WordPress Developers

Announcing Two New Plugins For WP Devs

I created a plugin for Textmate and Coda to help speed up development for WordPress, and to make my life easier really. It makes adding commonly used WP snippets of code to a document I'm working on extremely easy. Currently this only exists for Textmate and Coda on Mac. Depending on the demand, there may be support for other applications in the future.

The Textmate WP Starter Plugin and The Coda WP Starter Plugin have two modes:

WP Quick: Which is a folder and file skeleton.
WP Full: Which is a full theme structure markup and base styling.

Understanding Conditional Statements

Antonio — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:47:14 +0000

Basic Code

Here is a normal version of my header (minus the shorcut url and the favicon url):





<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php wp_title(''); ?>

In the title tag you can see that there is two wordpress common functions(wordpress tags) with a seperator in between, The bloginfo('name'); Outputs your website name and wp_title(''); outputs the pages title

Note: the seperator can also be created inside the title function:

The three pockets inside wp_title("$THE_SEPERATOR ", "$SHOULD_WE_ECHO " , " $THE_SEPERATORS_POSITION") pretty easy right

Conditional Code

Here is a version of my header with a large set of conditional tags for the title tag in the head tag:






	<?php
if (is_home()) { echo bloginfo('name'); }
elseif (is_404()) { bloginfo('name'); echo ' | Oops, this is a 404 page'; }
elseif ( is_search() ) { bloginfo('name'); echo (' | Search Results');}
else { bloginfo('name'); echo (' | '); wp_title(''); }
?>

The first line after the php tags delegate that If is_home() echo just the website name, since the website name and the title on the home page are the same. It then goes into an Else if saying that if is a 404 page(page not found on server) then display the website name, the seperator, and then the custom message of "Oops, this is a 404 page". There is also one for the search results page that displays the website name, the seperator, then the line "Search Results". The last line is an Else statement that says if not any of the other pages then display the website name, the seperator, and the page title.

I hope this is'nt confusing .

Bonus Code

I will give you one more example:

In this example i used a conditional statement to switch the stylesheet depending on which page we are on. If you are on the homepage it will use home.css, else if you are on the contact page it will use contact.css, else it will revert back to the defualt css file style.css.

Here is a list of other cool conditional tags you can use:
* comments_open
* has_tag
* in_category
* is_404
* is_admin
* is_archive
* is_attachment
* is_author
* is_category
* is_comments_popup
* is_date
* is_day
* is_feed
* is_front_page
* is_home
* is_month
* is_page
* is_page_template
* is_paged
* is_preview
* is_search
* is_single
* is_singular
* is_sticky
* is_tag
* is_tax
* is_time
* is_trackback
* is_year
* pings_open
To learn more about conditional tags check out the Codex at wordpress.org

OCD Freak: Automatically Capitalize Your Post Titles

Antonio — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:51:06 +0000

Checking for the functions

First thing you need to do is check if your theme has a functions.php file.

Here's how you check:

Login to your WordPress admin panel
Click Appearance
Then Editor

You will see the list of template files on the right side. If you see the file functions.php then you're good to go.

Coding Time

If there is not a functions.php file in your theme then create one and add:

In between the php tags add:

/* just in case I forget to capitilize */
add_filter('the_content', ucfirst);
/* just in case I forget to capitilize the title */
add_filter('the_title', ucfirst);
/* just in case commenters forget to capitilize */
add_filter('comment_text', ucfirst);

Then upload the functions.php file to you theme directory via FTP.

The functions.php file is the first file called by WordPress in your theme.

Now to explain some of the magic!

The easy way.... excerpt from WordPress codex:

Filters are the hooks that WordPress launches to modify text of various types before adding it to the database or sending it to the browser screen.

ucfirst is a Php function that makes a string's first character uppercase.

Are you an OCD freak? If so retweet this or post on Facebook.
