Sometimes you might require to structure certain content in to pages and sub pages and would like the sub pages to use the parent page’s template. In order to achieve this, you would have to manually select the custom page template while creating each of the sub pages. This is too tidous and manual if you have so many sub pages, I therefore created a custom code snippet in the theme’s functions.php file to automatically use the parent page’s custom page template without having to manually selecting the custom page template when creating the sub pages.

function switch_page_template() {
    global $post;
    // Checks if current post type is a page, rather than a post
	if (is_page())
	{	
		// Checks if page is parent, if yes, return
		if ($post->post_parent == 0)
			return true;
		else if ($post->post_parent != $post->ID)
		{
			$parent_page_template = get_post_meta($post->post_parent,'_wp_page_template',true);
 
			$template = TEMPLATEPATH . "/{$parent_page_template}";
			if (file_exists($template)) {
				load_template($template);
				exit;
			}
		}
	}
}
 
add_action('template_redirect','switch_page_template');

After inserting the above code snippet in functions.php, I created a page, applied the custom template to it and therefore all the sub pages under this page used its parent page template.

I must say that it was such an incredible time and great thanks to our chief guests i.e. Young Workers who were able to make it for the day, the rest of the organizing committee and the committee teams from all districts.

For the rest, please enjoy the photos below

After several years after campus, I got a thought of having those good friends from campus especially those from my crazy discussion group, The Sharp Guyz meet and get together somewhere outside our busy schedules.

On 13th August, 2011, we set out to Imperial Resort Beach where we chilled and had loads of fun as you can witness for yourself.

The three days’ camp was themed “Bearing fruit in all seasons” – Psalms 1:1-3 and throughout those days, I had time for reflection, learning, prayer, fun and games. Our minds we surely renewed by the Word and teaching of God; and we were very blessed with several sessions from Peter Asiimwe.

Certainly, I met many young working people and learnt a lot about bearing a lasting fruit in all seasons. Great thanks to our visionary leadership and the organizing committee for the work well done and I can’t wait for next year’s camp.

I would like to thank God, The Almighty, for enabling me get the visa in record time and for the safe while there. Of course, this trip wouldn’t have been that incredible without our hosts, Reagola. These guys made our trip so comfortable, interesting and adventurous Have a great look at what God has blessed Cape Town with. Whenever I travel throughout the world, I see God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature as described in Romans 1:20.

Romans 1:20 – For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse

Allan was featured in two articles at the conference website i.e. Mobilising Africa’s youth with the help of ICTs and How social networks train social skills.

While at the conference, they made several presentations including:

• Integrating 21st Century Pedagogy in Sexuality Education – A case study of the World Starts With Me (WSWM) project by Kakinda Daniel, Training Director, SchoolNet/iEARN Uganda
• Introduction to International Collaboration – A case study of iEARN (International Education and Resource Network by Allan Kakinda, SchoolNet/iEARN-Uganda

They also chaired a number of sessions which included:

• Wazup? Youth Voices on Life, Love and eLearning chaired by Allan Kakinda
• Strategies to Enhance Student Motivation and Career Awareness chaired by Daniel Lugudde Kakinda

Just a few days, an eLearning Africa Conference 2011 video was released and it featured both Allan and dad (Daniel). Please enjoy the video below:

As a family, we are very proud and happy to have had such a great opportunity. Kudos to dad and Allan.

Please enjoy with me the remarkable experience I had during the World Cup of 2010.

With just a few hours to the finals of this biggest sports event, I was among those who were so privileged, and indeed blessed, to be part of this event. I am now part of those who witnessed live the first world cup hosted on African soil in Sausi (South Africa). For my entire life, it was also my first time to watch a football match live in a stadium. Luckily enough, this wasn’t just a stadium but it was in one of the most artistic and awe-inspiring football venues on the African continent i.e. Soccer City Stadium which hosted the opening ceremony and will host the finals. Woow!! What a blessing!!!

Being sponsored by MTN itself, I and the team had an incredible, fantastic time and this World Cup will remain part of our memory lanes. It was surely a lifetime experience which is priceless and will remain to be remembered in our lives.

Having been to SA before, I couldn’t imagine what I would expect during the world cup. However, it was so cool to feel the World Cup environment live. I must commend the organizers and South Africa for the great work done over there.

We had a number of tours around the city and the hospitality in Sausi (SA) and around the stadium was so great and fabulous. In the stadium, I was seated a few rows away from the pitch and we enjoyed the match. The support in the stadium was very phenomena and it is worthy an experience for any football fan out there. Together as Africa United fans, we blew the vuvuzelas and cheered the players to the maximum we could though there was so much pressure. Seeing penalty shoot-outs was also great though we lost out.

I must say that this World Cup surely leaves a big legacy behind and we (Africans) are so much proud of hosting it. It was also full of surprises as winners of each game weren’t very obvious. Great thanks to the organizers of our trip especially MTN Uganda and MTN Group for the incredible work well done. It was so fantastic (ayoba) that words above are kind of understatement of the whole experience. Most importantly, I give thanks to God, The Almighty, for his continuous blessing as I was among the few who watched this historical World Cup live.

Ayoba, Ayoba…!!!

So for the second year in a row, I am joining the entire web community to celebrate this big day as a way of demonstrating my compliance to web standards i.e. proper semantic markup and a good hierarchy structure.

For more details, visit http://naked.dustindiaz.com/ and in case you got any running websites, you can join the celebration.

However, PySchart couldn’t plot several line graphs on the same canvas yet this was very important in my application as I wanted the user to easily make comparison for the different item’s trends. Luckily, the project had been released under the GNU General Public License v2. I talked to the Caraciolo who was very kind enough to give me the necessary support to improve the line chart portion of the project.

Today, I have uploaded an improved version of the line chart API/library which allows support for different line graphs on the same canvas.

Below is a simple code snippet on how you can implement the graph in the image above.
