This is my first plugin that i am developing. I have only one file in my plugin folder which has all the code that is handling my admin part. I have my own custom tables. I'm not using any wordpress table for it.
Structure:
plugin/amt
amt.php (This file has all the code which is dealing with admin part)
js/amt.js
Now I have got amt.php file working for my admin part. It is retrieving and saving data into the database. Till here its all fine.
Now, I want to add some functionality in the plugin which will be shown on frontend of the website. Please guide me, how can this be done? I could think of following options:
Add front end code in amt.php as well and use some kind of short code to display on front end of website under 'Sample Page'.
Need to create a new folder/file for front end?
I'll be thankful if some one can guide me please.
I have got it working with the help of short code. Here is what i did. added this code in my main plugin file i.e: amt.php
add_shortcode( 'clan', 'clan_fn' );
function clan_fn() { }
Create a new page from word press admin and simply call the short code as below and it will display what ever functionality you add in clan_fn.
[clan]

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.
Here's my issue. My company needs a vendor database added to our wordpress website. None of the existing plugins will even come close to what we need, and we already have a mysql database with all of our information, so we need to create a plugin or something to do what we need.
These urls need to be direct-accessible and have SEF urls. So, for example:
mysite.com/vendors/
mysite.com/vendors/pipe-manufacturers/
mysite.com/vendor/bobs-pipes/
And, the custom content needs to appear inside the wordpress template.
There are really 2 options:
1) Find a way to write our application outside of wordpress, but find a way to bootstrap wordpress to show the header, footer, and sidebar.
2) Run the app from inside wordpress.
So I went for option #2. I created a new template file named "vendor.php", and began working. I added this code to my functions.php of my theme:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'xyz_template_check' );
function xyz_template_check() {
global $template;
$rqst = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$ra = split("/", $rqst);
if ($ra[1] == "vendors") {
$template_file = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/vendors.php';
return $template_file;
}
return $template;
}
So what the above code does, if it sees the word "vendors" as the first part of the url after the site name, it sends you to vendor.php. This works PERFECTLY....
except...
Wordpress believes that the page is not found. It returns a 404 header, and NOT FOUND into the page title and breadcrumb.
Adding a PAGE called "Vendor Database" with the permalink "/vendors/" fixes the main page. But there will be literally hundreds of vendors and different categories. I cant be creating a custom page for each one. This needs to be dynamic.
So, how do I make wordpress give a 200, and supply an acceptable page title, breadcrumb, etc.
Don't even get me started on the danged wp_title filter. This did NOT work as documented. Although, it just occurred to me that this might be an issue with Wordpress SEO (the wp_title filter issue).
Anyone got an idea on this?
Ok got this. The solution was to use the rewrite api, as mentioned above, to look for the pattern /vendors/, letting it know that it was a valid URL. Coupled with my existing template override, this is what I needed.
I am using WordPress 3.2.1 ,
Page template selection drop down is missing on Pages (Add,Edit)
wp-admin > Pages >Add New > Page Attributes
I Edit the Template Page Default page as below code
/*
Template Name: New Template
*/
But still the template drop down no visible , my older version of WordPress it display by default.
Following is the screen shot for more idea
I solved this problem solved by adding the typical following code:
/*
Template Name: Custom
*/
Don't add any spaces after Name:
It'll work if you use template name: as well.
It might help someone: check if your index.php file is in place.
If it's not there, wordpress treats the template as corrupt and it doesn't display the template selection.
This should be simple to troubleshoot. The requirements for the page template to work are straight forward:
The template needs the page title in the top of the file like you've shown (the title needs to be wrapped in a PHP tag, you probably just didn't add it with your example bu I want to make sure you havne't overlooked it):
<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom
*/
?>
The second requirement is that the file is in the root of the theme folder.
With those two requirements in place, it should work. If it isn't working you nave a few possible issues. I list a few off the top of my head:
You might need to re-install WordPress in-case a file was corrupted
during your last update.
It's possible someone has altered the WP-Admin layout using users
roles.
That's all I can thing of at the moment, let me know how it turns out.
I had the same issue. It actually turned out to be a missing style.css file within the template directory in my case.
This happens because the get_post_templates() in class-wp-theme.php first checks for errors. If it finds any then it returns an empty array (no templates are displayed).
A side effect of this is that saving a page would clear the existing template and use the page.php instead.
So in short if the errors() method of your theme returns any errors then no templates dropdown.
hope that helps someone.
Same issued, I found out that in appearance panel in your WordPress dashboard the stylesheet is missing. You shouldn't rename the style.css in your theme folder.
Not sure if this will help anyone, but we solved the problem by disabling our theme and re-enabling it again. We had some other theme folders in the theme directory that we weren't using so we deleted those out as well. good luck, it's a really random problem to solve!
yeah!template dropdown not showing because you have no template So how to solve this::---
1 create template folder in theme
2 create a template in this folder
like:-
<?php /* Template Name: Home */ echo "template"; ?>
and check-in page dropdown will be there.
how to change the link in the wordpress email with newpassword?
this information we get when we click on forgot password.
username : admin
password : admin
http://www.example.com/wp-login.php
here i want to change this url "http://www.example.com/wp-login.php" and set my own url... how can i do?
some reference code:
if ( !function_exists('is_user_logged_in') ) :function is_user_logged_in() {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
You can hook into the retrieve_password_message filter
function someFunction($message, $key){
}
add_filter('retrieve_password_message', 'someFunction');
You would then have to use the "someFunction" function to parse the $message variable and change the link.
The message variable contains the entire message. So you could simply trim the message based on the number of characters then tack on your new link...
HTH
(Untested)
Using hooks would be my first thought so that you wouldn't have to edit any core files, however I have used the SB Welcome Email Editor plugin a couple times for this exact reason. Their are a couple plugins like this out their and they are fairly light weight and allow full customization of all Wordpress generated emails.
Try using a plugin such as Theme My Login, which does everything for you.
Editing core wordpress files is never a good idea, when updating wordpress, you'll loose all your work.
You can simply follow steps if you want to edit your code file.
Go to your wordpress folder. Look for the following files:
1. /wp-login.php
2. /includes/functions.php
Change the all the codes which contains wp-login.php into your custom URL.
for example: admin.php or client-login.php
Now you can changed your login/signup URL into your custom URL.
Known issue: You can find some database error if you make any mistakes. Just refresh the page and try with the customized Url it will work...
Example site I used here : http://androideveloper.com/admin.php from http://androideveloper.com/wp-login.php
Cheers.
Some background if you want to see why I'm doing what I'm doing:
I have a client who wanted a new blog done with Wordpress on a separate subdomain. Their existing website is on Drupal, which I have had 0 experience with prior to this. They have a pretty extensive navigation on that site (multiple levels), so rather than create duplicates of nav menus that would need updated on both wordpress and drupal, I am using YQL to pull in the whole navigation onto the Wordpress website. I know this isn't great for SEO, but at this point I'm not worried about that.
The issue I have is that all of the links on the Drupal website do not include the http://domain.com so that none of the links work on the blog site, because they're going to relative pages on that subdomain that don't exist.
So in summary, what I'm trying to accomplish:
I need each href that Drupal is generating to begin with 'http://domain.com'. Currently they just start with '/pagename'. I have no clue what Drupal version the site is on nor on how to find it, sorry. The site is using Drupal's Nice Menu plugin as well. I've been digging through the files for a couple of hours now, and can't figure out where I need to make the change. Please help! Thanks
Edit: dobeerman mentioned using custom_url_rewrite_outbound to settings.php. This seems to accomplish close to what I want. I tried adding this to the end of settings.php:
function custom_url_rewrite_outbound(&$path, &$options, $original_path) {
global $user;
$path = 'http://www.reillypainting.com/'.$path;
}
However, the end result of an href in the menu becomes this example:
href="/http%3A/%252Fwww.reillypainting.com/services/sell/rent-your-house"
So the other code generating Drupal's menu is trying to escape the :// and it's also still adding a / to the beginning of the href. Anyone know how to avoid this?
Drupal has function custom_url_rewrite_outbound you can add to settings.php
Use this code:
function custom_url_rewrite_outbound(&$path, &$options, $original_path) {
$options['absolute'] = 1;
}
