Basically, if you’re looking for an easier way for you and your clients to manage information within WordPress, this is the perfect solution. It allows you to define your own content types and then:

1. Creates a separate database table for each data set.
2. Creates a class so that you can easily instantiate that class and use the data within your WordPress themes.
3. Gives you an easy to use CMS for managing your data. (or your clients).

I first implemented Pods on my own portfolio so that I can easily manage my portfolio items without having to worry about individual posts. It gives me a lot more flexibility and makes it much easier to manage.
My second implementation was for a law firm website. Rather than create separate pages and menu for each member of their team, I created a pod and made it available from the main admin menu – so they can easily add new team members as they need to.

This is really a must-have for any serious WordPress developer. Make sure to check out the following tutorial though – Mr. Christopher does a tremendous job of explaining how to use Pods.

So far I’ven’t found a solution to this issue, but I will probably have to by the end of the week.

Edit: Nope. I just set the post count to 10 to match the WP admin setting.

Apparently, and this is only with Internet Explorer, if a form is submitted with no form fields, an Internal Server Error is displayed. This is caused to a broken parent-child relationship that IE is looking for.

The solution: simple. Just add a hidden form field so that you know that you’ll at least have one form field sent.

This is potentially a very convenient way to include a script regardless of SSL (http vs https), which will cause an alert or warning on computers with common settings. Unfortunately, this method does not work in Chrome. IE6 and FF3 will redirect to the appropriate full path with http(s). Chrome will assume the link is a relative local file, adding the prefix “file://”.

I assumed this was a typo, but the implementation guide is very deliberate in the “http” omission. I was surprised to find this works in some browsers and I wish it was a great revelation, however it is entirely impractical.

Correct me if I am wrong [andrew.hahn@peaksystems.com], but browsers do not store hidden form field data, only fields of input type “text”. My testing suggests that it does not.

So, the proposed hack is to create two forms. One form contains a dummy text field that will not be submit.

<form><input type="text" id="CCN_prop" /></form>

The second form will be actually submit. It will contain a hidden input and a submit button. When the submit button is pressed, javascript will update the hidden field (CCN) with the value from the dummy field (CCN_prop).
<form method="post" onsubmit="
    $('#CCN').val($('#CCN_prop').val());">
  <input type="hidden" name="CCN" id="CCN" />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

CSS:
div {
width:380px;
height:80px;
padding: 15px 0 30px 0;
overflow-x:auto;
white-space:nowrap;
}

By default, img tags are display:inline, so you need only something like this:
<div>
  <img />
  <img />
  <img />
</div>

Backup “colors.xml” in the following folder.

Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration

Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS4:<language>:Configuration

Then replace it with this: colors.rar. Should be ready to rock.

Oh, on a side note, the font Anonymous is great for coding, very easy to read. I like it on the smallest font size setting.

My cfm page calls a cfc which has a function for a standard query, which I’m caching. I have another function that is going to list results by paging and by search params. I don’t want to touch the cached query so here’s what I’m going to do.

<cfquery datasource="mydsn"
		cachedwithin="#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#"
		name="qryProps">
	SELECT *, @intRow:=@intRow+ 1
	FROM myTable, (SELECT @intRow:=0) AS r
	ORDER BY p_id
</cfquery>

<cfquery dbtype="query" name="QoQProps">
	SELECT ∗
	FROM qryProps
	WHERE intRow
		BETWEEN #offStart# AND #offLimit + 1#
</cfquery>

As long as the order of the first query is expected (I have it under control) then it’s going to work awesome.

For those curious, here are methods for getting a row number into the query in…

MSSQL:
SELECT ∗, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY p_id) AS intRow
FROM myTable

ORACLE:
SELECT ∗, ROWNUM as intRow
FROM myTable


Random LI tags were not displaying. This worked fine on every browser I had access to.
Problem was that my list items were floated left and contained in an absolutely positioned element. This was in tandem with a bug involving the first non-native font chosen, “Gill Sans” or something. I of course had backup fonts listed, but the first one caused a problem not allowing the browser to use the remaining fonts listed.

I installed IE7 standalone, though the entire page appears to break if any flash is used, which almost makes it worthless. When I’ve more time I’ll look up solutions, I’m sure the app deserves more credit.

So, as I’m adding Google Analytics to this site, I’ll share the process with you!

1. If you don’t already have a Google account, get with the program and get your free Gmail account at www.gmail.com
2. Now go to http://www.google.com/analytics/ and sign in.
3. Click on ‘Add Website Profile’
4. Enter the URL and timezone for your domain and Continue.
5. This next page will give you 2 options: the Legacy Tracking Code or the new option. Click on the ‘New Tracking Code’ option.
6. You’ll see a bunch of Javascript code. You’ll need to add this to the bottom of your web pages. If you don’t know how to do this, contact your web designer! Since our site is built using WordPress, I have to open the footer.php for the template that I have selected.
7. After you have that javascript added to your pages and your files uploaded, click on the finish button. You’ll see your site listed under Website Profiles.
8. Now you have to wait. Sometimes it’ll take a while for Google to find the tracking code that you put on your site but as soon as that happens, you’ll start getting all the stats you could ever want on your site, set up marketing goals and much, much more!
