On a project I was working on recently, I was pulling in some css for iPhone users using PHP with the following code: <php if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone")) { ?> … CUSTOM CSS FOR IPHONE… <php } ?> This will also work for iPhones and iPod Touch: <php if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPhone') || strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPod')) { ?> … CUSTOM CSS… […]

I spent a very frustrating evening a few nights ago trying to get MySQL installed on my Mac laptop. I never got it working. I have really been wanting to develop stuff offline just to make things easier. I have plenty of web access to work with – still it would be nice not to […]

In honor of "Thank a WordPress Plugin Developer" (yes, I know I'm a little late. hush!) I wanted to recognize some plugins and their developers that have made my job so much easier. (FYI – Most of these plugins are particularly helpful when using WordPress as a CMS). I know these kinds of lists have […]

I haven't done too much with WordPress 2.7 until very recently. I was really surprised to see the new way of doing comments. The good news is that wp_list_comments() will list all comments, with threading, and nested replies, all by it's little self. You can turn the nested replies thing on/off from the Settings->Discussion page […]

Here's another color tool to add to the list HSL Color Schemer Truth be told, I was sent that link too long ago to mention without being embarrassed. It's been sitting in my to do box to post the link since then. Doh!

I know wordpress people believe making this an option is bad, but I really really wish they would. Make an "advanced" settings section that you have to turn on with your profile if need be. Whatever it is – this should be in the UI. In any case, I always have to do this, and […]

There's probably a really good reason for this (actually, wait. We're talking about IE. Nevermind) 😉 Just wanted to post a reminder to myself should I ever come across this weirdness again. I was working on a layout recently, and everything was working fine in Firefox, and everything was fine in IE except for one […]

As the title said – needed to show the excerpt if there was one, or the *full* post if there wasn't (not the shortened version wordpress "fakes") remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt'); if (get_the_excerpt() == "") { echo apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content()); } else { echo apply_filters('the_content',get_the_excerpt()); echo '<p><a href="'.get_permalink().'">Read more…</a></p>'; } Updated 8/11/08 Made some changes to the code. Excerpts […]

"Why am I getting that Javascript error?? WTH is it talking about – submit IS a function!!" So here's the deal – if you have a form and an element in the form is named "submit" – if you try to call document.myform.submit() – you'll end up getting the "submit is not a function" javascript […]

This isn't a big deal, but it was something I was fighting with for a bit. If you're trying to set the properties of a DIV via javascript, and you're getting the "document.getElementById("mydiv") has no properties" javascript warning, there's probably two big things that will cause it. 1) you didn't set the id. Go back […]
