Open comment authors website link in a new window

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

When a user posts a comment on your blog, they are given the option to have their name linked to their own website by supplying the URL when they post. To make these links open in a new window:

find in wp-includes/comment-template.php (~line 148):

$return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>$author</a>";

replace with:

$return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow' class='url' target='_blank'>$author</a>";

And that’s it. If you have difficulties implementing this, contact me for paid support.

Figure Cases Product Listing (FIGURE 1)

Figures in comfort asked me to produce a method of ensuring that customers can only select the amount of foam that will fit into the cases.

The previous system allowed customers to choose more foam than would fit, which made it take longer for them to be able to fulfil the order.

This is because some trays are double, triple and even quadruple depth.

The client would first have to contact the customer to explain, costing time and money.

PHP Objects, The Basics

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I have come across classes very often and use classes distributed on phpclasses.org such as phpMailer, an excellent class for sending emails using PHP. A class allows programmers to separate code from the main systems while being able to access and define variables for access outside the class, inside the class or just within one function in the class.

In this article I will discuss the general structure of a simple class and usage of a simple “HELLO” class as an example.
