KC Settings Data

Posted on 2012/06/10 Comments

Just a quick note to those of you using KC Settings. As of version 2.6.8, all variables in kcSettings class have been merged and set to private. So if you’ve previously used kcSettings::$data, you will need to change your code to use the available method: kcSettings::get_data(). This static method behaves exactly like kc_get_option(), so you can put as many arguments (the array keys) as you like there to get the data you need, for example:

kcSettings::get_data('settings', 'plugin', 'myprefix', 'mysection')

Add HTML Tags in Post and Widget Titles

Posted on 2012/05/03 Comments

In a recent project, I needed to use <span /> tags to add some styles (just color, actually) to post and widget titles. By default — and there’s no hook to disable this — WordPress strips any HTML tags found in post and widget titles. Here’s my solution to this problem. Please keep in mind that I only needed to add <span /> tags, so if you need to add more tags, you should modify the code to fit your needs :) Continue…

wp_list_pages() for Custom Post Types

Posted on 2012/02/19 Comments

wp_list_pages() is a handy little function for displaying a list of hierarchical post type, and it works with custom post types too. Unfortunately, when used for a custom post type, the list items don’t have the necessary CSS classes for current page item/ancestors. Here’s a quick fix for this particular problem.

function kct_page_css_class( $css_class, $page, $depth, $args ) {
  if ( empty($args['post_type']) || !is_singular($args['post_type']) )
    return $css_class;

  $_current_page = get_queried_object();

  if ( in_array( $page->ID, $_current_page->ancestors ) )
    $css_class[] = 'current_page_ancestor';
  if ( $page->ID == $_current_page->ID )
    $css_class[] = 'current_page_item';
  elseif ( $_current_page && $page->ID == $_current_page->post_parent )
    $css_class[] = 'current_page_parent';

  return $css_class;
}
add_filter( 'page_css_class', 'kct_page_css_class', 10, 4 );

KC DropBox

Posted on 2012/02/06 Comments

Here’s a simple plugin for uploading files from your WordPress site front-end. It uses Jaka Jancar’s DropBox Uploader and inspired by a tutorial on WP Tuts+ (although I took a slightly different approach). It’s pretty easy to use and you can integrate it in your contact forms.

Clone/download it from GitHub and feel free to let me know if you have any problem.

Using Built-in Post Finder in Plugins

Posted on 2012/01/20 Comments

I was making some improvements to the KC Posts widget module in my KC Essentials plugin, and I wanted to make it easy for the users to find post IDs they want to include/exclude from the query. As you may already know, in the Media admin page, we can ‘attach’ an attachment to a post. It uses a neat jQuery UI dialog box to find posts. Here’s how I use it in KC Essentials.
