I am new to WordPress development. I am coming from Symfony and vanilla PHP development.
I want to assign a "route" or a function to generate an XML file for a specific post type.
I know that I can get the post information with WordPress functions like get_post_meta.
I don't know the how to assign a function to a link
DOWNLOAD XML.
What is the "WordPress way" to do this?
Wouldn't an Ajax call do the job?
I'm a new in WP also. So I did this way:
1) I made a template myxmltemplate.php in /wp-content/themes/mytheme/myxmltemplate.php starting with:
/**
* Template Name: XML
*/
2) I created a page with template XML with url for example example.com/xml/
3) I put all my code into myxmltemplate.php which generates XML code I need
4) after that I can make a link like this
DOWNLOAD XML
Maybe there is a better way to make routes with xml-generating (like in functions, but for me it's the simplest).

I'm using the All-In-One Video Player plugin and want to alter its behaviour by listening to events that the player emits and taking actions based on them.
I contacted plugin's support team and got a very good response that I'm sure would mean something to someone who understands WordPress - I'm not one of those people.
The support team suggested using the action hook aiovg_player_footer. It looks like I have to implement that function, but I have no idea where to write that code. Is there a specific file that I need to create / update in order to get implement this function.
My function will need to alter the HTML that the plugin produces. Is this just a case of doing something like
echo '<script>console.log("helo");</script>' ?
You should add the following code in functions.php file located in the root of your theme directory:
function so61638829_aiovg_player_footer()
{
// Do something
}
add_action('aiovg_player_footer', 'so61638829_aiovg_player_footer');
How to make the URL of the page: one/two/three? This work must be done via a url variable in the template. I use metalsmith-permalinks plugin. I have it hooked up and the pattern is specified as :url.
Later in the template write the url: hello/world. But the web address of this page is converted into a hello-world.
How to make the page address, type hello/world ?
Option :url will replace all characters / on -. Probably the only way in this situation at the moment - create the directory hello/world, and add Metalsmith template file. I had a similar problem and solved it this way.
I just started working with Wordpress (v. 3.6.1).
I have OptionTree installed and as it seems it handles the Theme Options page. I want to run my function (in a plugin or wherever else) right after the user saves the changes of this page.
So far I found out that option-tree/includes/ot-settings-api.php generates the form and it sets the form action to options.php (which is a wordpress core file). I was thinking about change the action to my custom php file and handle the save procedure and finally runs my own function. But this solution looks pretty ugly.
I wonder if there's another way to get the job done.
Thanks.
Thanks to #Sheikh Heera link (tutsplus) I could find a solution.
I think this is some kind of hack and I still don't know if it is the best way. Anyway I did this:
Create a file your-theme-settings.php in your theme lib folder.
Let Wordpress knows about your file by adding this code in your theme functions.php:
include_once('lib/your-theme-settings.php');
Add this code to your-theme-settings.php:
function your_theme_register_settings() {
register_setting('option_tree', 'option_tree', 'your_theme_validate_options');
}
function your_theme_validate_options($input) {
// do whatever you have to do with $input.
}
add_action('admin_init', 'your_theme_register_settings');
In step 3, I put 'option_tree' as 1st and 2nd argument of register_settings function, because I noticed that the Option Group and Option Name of OptionTree plugin is option_tree.
I'm not sure if this is the best solution, so I would be glad if you shares your ideas.
If I have a page named 'events' (of which the specialized template will be named 'page-events.php'), is there any way to have a specialized template of a subpage 'events/event-sub-page'?
I can't seem to find how to do it in the documentation here: codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates.
You would just create a new template called events-subpage.php and build it accordingly. Then when making your page in wordpress, select the template events-subpage.
You can just create the "event-sub-page" page in WordPress, set its parent to the "events" page, and make your custom template file "page-event-sub-page.php" (no need to specify the "events" part in the actual php filename)
Or in my case I wanted "../login" for a specialized login form and "../login/recovery" for password recovery. The template page is simply "page-recovery.php"
I am working on a drupal 7 site and am very new to this. I need to create a totally separate home page from the rest of the site. I notice the head is built in the html.tpl.php file where all the scripts are loaded. I would rather not load scripts to the rest of the site that will only be used on the front page. Also I have found that drupal adds some code to the end of my script rendering it useless.
/js/image_scale.js?lwhgie"
What is going on here and how do get better control of this?
Thanks
Just to add a couple of points:
If you want to aggregate your homepage JS (which you may or may not) then you shouldn't add the stylesheets manually to the template file. You can add them in hook_preprocess_page(), something like this:
/**
* Implements hook_preprocess_page().
*/
function MYMODULE_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
if ($vars['is_front']) {
$path = drupal_get_path('module', 'MYMODULE');
drupal_add_js($path . '/MYMODULE1.js');
drupal_add_js($path . '/MYMODULE2.js');
$vars['scripts'] = drupal_get_js();
}
}
Also I have found that drupal adds some code to the end of my script rendering it useless.
/js/image_scale.js?lwhgie"
That shouldn't render your script useless. From the comments in drupal_get_js():
A dummy query-string is added to filenames, to gain control over
browser-caching. The string changes on every update or full cache
flush, forcing browsers to load a new copy of the files, as the
URL changed. Files that should not be cached (see drupal_add_js())
get time() as query-string instead, to enforce reload on every
page request.
you could create a new template called page--front.tpl.php in your theme folder and this will be your template for the homepage. Now you can add/remove any html markup you want. for more info take a look here: http://drupal.org/node/1089656 . Also, you could "tell" drupal to use your custom template file using hook_preprocess_page() in template.php file in your theme folder. See the comments on the link I posted earlier
