I know how to do:

http://www.com/customposttype/?sortby=date&direction=asc

The key is that I wanted it to be clean looking and now that I found out that it is relatively simple. I am going to be using this more and maybe make a plugin for it. I am just wondering out loud if this is already built into WordPress and I am being dumb (which I hope is the case, because I will really use this more and more in the sites that I make).

This goes into functions.php:

in my example above I am using the page “art” which uses a custom template. So when the URL http://youawake.com/art/date/desc/ gets called.

Now within the custom page template ART, I just need to call the variable that gets displayed and then sort it within the query, the example.

If there is no date sort it just displays it by default order.

You can see my two examples at:
http://youawake.com/art/date/desc/

http://youawake.com/art/date/asc/

I just bought a domain today doineedtoseeitin3d.com and I was sad to see that there are no single serving WordPress themes. So, I went ahead and made it obviously. This is my second attempt at doing a Single Serving Site. But now that I have a WordPress theme for it, I think I will make more.

All this does it add is a hidden field to the comment form, spam. And if anything gets put into there it gets marked as spam. Simple as that. I was getting some spam on my WordPress sites that I had to do something more about it. I did not want to upload it to the WordPress plugin directory because it wasn’t my idea.

I am not going to get into how this works, or anything like that. This is a complete file that will work when everything gets changed. It is for wordPress specifically, but can be used in other ways.

Anyways, We wanted to make it so you had to login to be able to see anything. Essentially making it private. Luckily there is already a plugin out there and it is very small, and works magical to our needs, Private WP. But then I have to add it to every blog we have and activate it. But thankfully wordPress is smart and made a mu-plugins folder in wp-content. Whatever plugin you add in there gets activated and added to every blog in your install.

All you have to do is download the plugin and upload it to that folder and it is activated site wide.

This is the plugin, which is exactly how I would have done it.


function private_wp() {
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
auth_redirect();
}
}

add_action('get_header', 'private_wp');


$rmcode = `find $dir -name "*.php" -type f |xargs sed -i 's###g' 2>&1`;
echo "Malware removed.
\n";
$emptyline = `find $dir -name "*.php" -type f | xargs sed -i '/./,$!d' 2>&1`;
echo "Empty lines removed.
\n";
?>

Completed.

If you upload this to the root of your website and open it up in the browser it will do as it says. I changed the $dir = “./”; to $dir = “./../”; so it went through all my websites at the same time. Took about 30 seconds or so. And it removed the injection from all my sites. Great

You can download this plugin here.

I am going to be submitting this plugin to the repository, I don’t suspect any updates to this anytime soon. But if there are, it will be there.

With this plugin, I have learned so much about pluggable.php and am so excited about it! Things I didn’t know before.

Clients get confused when you install wordpress as a cms for them and they see add a new post, they always get confused with that. With this new feature where it says add a new client, or add new business. Clients will be able to understand easily what they need to do. This will also add the ability to organize much easier within categories and categories within categories.

To add a custom post type in wordpress 3.0 this would go into either a plugin or the functions.php file in your theme directory:


// This function is where the magic happens
function post_type_gallery() {

// This action shows the above function in the WordPress Dashboard
add_action('init', 'post_type_gallery');


With that you will have a custom post screen, Way easier than it was before! Everything posted in this gallery section will also only appear in the gallery edit posts section. It should look this this below:

Next will be how to add a custom field to this custom post. It is the same way as before, just a little bit of added code into the register_post_type.

WP Engineer goes a little more in detail about custom post types. More in detail about how to display certain boxes and what not. Definitely worth a read.

I have no uses for this as I can navigate to any area that I want to, pretty easily. Just putting it out there for other plugin/theme developers.


function my_favorite_action( $actions ) {

return $actions;
}
add_filter( 'favorite_actions', 'my_favorite_action' );


The only section that you need to edit is the edit-comments.php, and just point that to where you want the link to go. And the Manage Comments will be the text that is displayed.

Anyways May 1st is a long way away.
