<?php echo get_avatar($comment->comment_author_email, “55″) ?>

I used comment_author_email on the php comment object to get the email address of the person who made the comment. It was pretty painless to do and a great feature to add to my template.

$( ".selector" ).sortable({
   placeholder: 'ui-state-highlight',
   start: function(event, ui) {
        ui.placeholder.height(ui.item.height());
   }
});

Once I added this code and refreshed, it a beautiful site to see a jQuery sortable placeholder work.

Then you just change “http://www.new-url.com” to the url you want the page to get redirect to. Once that is done you have successfully redirected a page using a 301 redirect.

Today I decided to take another stab and see if there was any new themes for the current Reader.

Google brought me over to this page:

http://userstyles.org/styles/browse?search_terms=google+reader

I then found a style titled “Gooder Plus-Old Google Reader Style”. Now we’re talking!!! Here is what is needed to get this going:

1. You must be using Chrome
2. Install the Stylish extension
3. Install the Gooder Plus-Old Google Reader Style into Stylish
4. Go to your Google Reader

Now if I could only get back the original Reader sharing…sigh

I also have it setup to be able to combobox off of a text element if desired, instead of the select.

This widget should go into a js file and be included on the page

(function( $ ) {
		$.widget( "ui.combobox", {
			_create: function() {
				var self = this,
					select = this.element.hide(),
					selected = select.children( ":selected" ),
					value = select.is('input:text') ?
								select.val() :
									selected.val() ?  selected.text() : "";
				var input = this.input = $( "
" )
					.insertAfter( select )
					.val( value )
					.autocomplete({
						delay: self.options.delay ? self.options.delay : 0,
						minLength:  self.options.minLength ? self.options.minLength : 0,
						source: function( request, response ) {
							if (!self.options.source) {
								var matcher = new RegExp( $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term), "i" );
								response( select.children( "option" ).map(function() {
									var text = $( this ).text();
									if ( this.value && ( !request.term || matcher.test(text) ) )
										return {
											label: text.replace(
												new RegExp(
													"(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^<>]*)(" +
													$.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term) +
													")(?![^<>]*>)(?![^&;]+;)", "gi"
												), "$1" ),
											value: text,
											option: this
										};
								}) );
							} else {
								self.options.source(request, response);
							}
						},
						select: function( event, ui ) {
							if (!self.options.select) {
								ui.item.option.selected = true;
								self._trigger( "selected", event, {
									item: ui.item.option
								});
							} else {
								self.options.select(event, ui);
							}
						},
						change: function( event, ui ) {
							if ( !ui.item ) {
								var matcher = new RegExp( "^" + $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex( $(this).val() ) + "$", "i" ),
									valid = false;
								select.children( "option" ).each(function() {
									if ( $( this ).text().match( matcher ) ) {
										this.selected = valid = true;
										return false;
									}
								});
								if ( !valid ) {
									// remove invalid value, as it didn't match anything
									$( this ).val( "" );
									select.val( "" );
									input.data( "autocomplete" ).term = "";
									return false;
								}
							}
						}
					})
					.addClass( "ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-left" );

				input.data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
					return $( "


" )
						.data( "item.autocomplete", item )
						.append( "" + item.label + "" )
						.appendTo( ul );
				};

				this.button = $( " " )
					.attr( "tabIndex", -1 )
					.attr( "title", "Show All Items" )
					.insertAfter( input )
					.button({
						icons: {
							primary: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s"
						},
						text: false
					})
					.removeClass( "ui-corner-all" )
					.addClass( "ui-corner-right ui-button-icon" )
					.click(function() {
						// close if already visible
						if ( input.autocomplete( "widget" ).is( ":visible" ) ) {
							input.autocomplete( "close" );
							return;
						}

						// work around a bug (likely same cause as #5265)
						$( this ).blur();

						// pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results
						input.autocomplete( "search", "" );
						input.focus();
					}).find('.ui-button-text').removeClass('ui-button-text'); //added the remove ui-button-text to remove the padding
				//and make it the same size as our input
				//see button in Message Center -> New Message for reference
			},

			destroy: function() {
				this.input.remove();
				this.button.remove();
				this.element.show();
				$.Widget.prototype.destroy.call( this );
			}
		});
	})( jQuery );

Here is an example usage of the widget:

$('#myTextField').combobox({
		source: function(req,add) {
                      $.ajax({
                        url: "test.html",
                       dataType:"json",
                       success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest){
                         add(data);
                       }
                   });

		},
		select: function(event, ui) {
                              //call back when the user selects an item on the list
	                        alert('Item id selected [' + ui.item.id + ']');
		},
		delay: 500
		});

Here is an example of json structure that the add() method takes above

[{"id":"1","label":"Option1"},{"id":"2","label":"Option2"},{"id":"3","label":"Option3"}]

This mod does not break the traditional means of creating the combobox off of a select element

$( "#MySelectElement" ).combobox();

Below is an example of how to do this through a select.

SET @line = 0;

SELECT @line := @line + 1, some_field FROM my_table;

Here is how to accomplish an update

SET @line = 0;

update mytable set myordercolum = @line := @line + 1 order by myordercol;

Don’t forget to adding in your where or proper field to order by for the correct numbering if needed!!

Searched

The PHP

	$selectData=$_POST['selectData'];
	if ($selectData){
	    foreach ($selectData as $sd){
               echo 'Selected Value '.$sd;
            }
	}

It does not edit the PDF directly, but it is very simple. You just need to install the PDF Import extension. It will open the PDF up in Draw for editing. After editing you can export back to a new PDF with the changes. Follow the steps below to give it a whirl:

1. Download the PDF Import extension from the link above. After Downloading it you can double click on it and Open Office will bring up the extension manager to install it

2. Open Open Office Draw

3. Select File –> Open and navigate to the PDF you wish to edit

4. The file should now be imported into draw. Make the necessary edits. At this point I also recommend saving the native draw file in case you want to make future edits

5. Click on the PDF icon on the toolbar or navigate to File –> Export as PDF.

I was in search for a large amount of free disk space and found ADrive

They offer 50GB of free storage space. This this is the catch, you must use their Java Applet file upload to send your files into the cloud. They do not have any SSL option for the free storage, but I am using it to backup static media (pictures and video). I have started to upload files to their server, and found the applet a little bit more handy than I expected. You can pick entire directories to upload and will will keep you directory structure when the files are sent up. Here are a couple gotchas that I ran into using the applet and did not see these documented anywhere:

1. You can only upload no more than 1000 files per transfer
2. You can’t upload more than 2GB per transfer

Other than those 2 things it is working out well so far.

The applet allows you to download files back to your computer and will retain the directory structure, which is helpful if needing to restore from a backup. I have not yet tested to see if the same files and transfer size limitations apply to the download as well. I suspect that they may.

Another bonus it the ability to share files that are in the cloud. They cannot be password protected, but it will create a URL that can be emailed to someone. It is kind of a security by obscurity philosophy on the free version.

Adrive can be purchased for $6.95 / month if you are in need of the ability to do a remote transfer. This includes FTP, WebDav, and SSL encryption.

I am going to look for a free backup solution for my files that change on a regular basis. Feel free to let me know what you think is the best free option for secure backup’s in the cloud and has the ability to install a client with scheduling.

We created this model in Toad Database Designer. We have provided the link to the design file if anyone would like to utilize it, and a link to the PNG of the model. Please provide feedback on any relations that may not be correct, or are missing.
