I'm trying to slightly modify the default WordPress tag cloud widget. I don't want to create my own widget because I literally want to adjust one small thing. I've looked through my WordPress installation but can't find the PHP file that contains the basic widgets.
Even though I assume that they are defined in each theme, I still looked in the core directories but came up empty handed.
So if any of you happen to have already figured this out, please make my life easier and let me know where I can find the default widgets...most importantly the tag cloud widget.
Thanks
Those are located in the default widget class:
/wp-includes/default-widgets.php
For more detail:
http://phpdoc.wordpress.org/trunk/WordPress/Widgets/WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud.html
The widget invokes a function deeper though that generates the actual output. You'll want to take a look at the wp_tag_cloud and wp_generate_tag_cloud functions in:
/wp-includes/category-template.php
do take into account however that you'll lose your change when you upgrade wordpress (which is why I eventually did create my own shabby category-cloud widget instead of changing the default tag-cloud code).
The tag cloud widget is defined near the bottom of the default-widgets.php file in the wp-includes folder.

I am working on this webpage:http://hypoinvest.sk/ which runs on Wordpress with this theme If you check source code you can see a lot of inline-css and I want to know in which files are actually defined. Only thing what I know about it they are called by function wp_head() in header.php. I have local copy of all files on this web and I can't find any mention about some of that css rules through unix grep. Anyone suspect where these css rules could be located?
check site and let me know.
Run a search in the source code for
style-inline
As this appears to be the 'handle' designated as the first variable in the function wp_add_inline_style. The "-css" is added automatically. You'll see this on line 79 of the page source.

You want to check your page back-end site where you put content ,
I think are you using any compose or editor to create page on edit page.
check it edit option it has some inline css.
I'm working on Magento modules.
After few guides I managed to create module that says "hellow world".
Also I have made some of css code that add simple image border around whole page.
So the problem is: how to combine them together?
I want that when I install my module, image border appears around page.
What should I be looking for? Any tips? I need right path to look for answers
T.y.
You need to to
Create a module
That modifies the global layout such that your CSS is added to the page
Re: number two, there's multiple ways to go about doing this. These days I favor the event/observer method
Add an observer for the controller_action_layout_generate_blocks_after event
Fetch the head block from the layout in your observer method
If you find a head block, add your CSS file to it programtically
The more traditional way is
Configure you module to include an additional layout update XML file
In the default handle of your new layout update XML file, add XML that tells Magento to add your CSS file
That should give you enough to google on and come back with more specific questions. Good luck!
I'm trying to modify the skin of the register.html.twig template found in FOSUserBundle/Resources/views/Registration/register.html.twig.
I've basically followed the instructions in the documentation down to a T.
Like it told to do so, I created /app/Resources/views/FOSUserBundle/views/Registration/register.html.twig.
Cleared the cache (and browser cache just to be sure)
NO effect! I've put a blank file in register.html.twig, but no matter what I put there, when I go to /register/, I still see the default template.
Yep, these things happen all the time.
It should be:
/app/Resources/FOSUserBundle/views/Registration/register.html.twig
Reference
I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that you can actually move the main plugin *.php file to somewhere else (I assume under your theme directory) to have it safe in case you made changes to it and your plugin updates. I tried Google but I can't find anything. Google page with good results will suffice.
I've just experienced a situation where my 2 plugins which had its layout changed and accommodated my needs and I want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Apart from having the main file in another location, is there a way to move along any CSS and JS files as well?
In Concrete5 CMS there is a nice way of doing this, by creating a new folder inside a block of an addon (may be regarded as a WP plugin), inside of which you can create copies of main file, any CSS and JS files and then you can simply edit them and choose that template for a page location you are using that block in.
I assume there is no such thing in Wordpress but how close can I get?
UPDATE: I found where I applied that advice on creating a new instance of the file then moving it to the theme directory.
The plugin in question was HL-Twitter. These are the plugin files:
admin.php
archive.php
functions.php
hl_twitter.php
hl_twitter_archive.php
hl_twitter_widget.php
import.php
widget.php
Now, this is the top contents (commented out) of the hl_twitter_widget.php:
Widget Theme for HL Twitter
To change this theme, copy hl_twitter_widget.php
to your current theme folder, do not edit this
file directly.
Available Properties:
$before_widget
$after_widget
$before_title
$after_title
$widget_title
$show_avatars
$show_powered_by
$num_tweets: how many tweets to show
$tweets: array of $tweet
$tweet: object representing a tweet
$tweet->twitter_tweet_id
$tweet->tweet
$tweet->lat
$tweet->lon
$tweet->created
$tweet->reply_tweet_id
$tweet->reply_screen_name
$tweet->source
$tweet->screen_name
$tweet->name
$tweet->avatar
$user: represents the Twitter user (ONLY SET IF SHOWING A SINGLE USERS TWEETS!)
$user->twitter_user_id
$user->screen_name
$user->name
$user->num_friends
$user->num_followers
$user->num_tweets
$user->registered
$user->url
$user->description
$user->location
$user->avatar
So I was wrong about copying the main file (in this case hl_twitter.php), but still - this enabled me to edit the file outside the plugin directory and the system somehow checks for its existence and picks it up if exists.
If this behavior something that is natively supported by Wordpress or it has been integrated in the plugin itself?
With themes, Wordpress has a concept of "child themes" which allows exactly that: to keep changes separate from main theme, in case it changes.
I haven't yet found a way to do this with plugins.
I'm using a few tactics myself:
I bump plugin version to a very high number like 99.9. This way Wordpress won't ever update the plugin.
Store my plugins in version control (i use git, but it doesnt matter), this allows you to update the plugin, run the 'diff' tool and see what changes happend. If you don't like you just revert like it would be a bad code you've written. But this approach requires a bit of skill.
Are you talking about running parts of a modified 3rd party plugin, and an updated version, at the same time?
That's not going to be possible. There is no magical method of "preserve my changes and transfer them into the new version automatically". The way to go here is doing a diff between the edited version and the update, and integrating the changes in the actual source files.
The bottom line is, if you manually edit a third party plugin, you're in for manual review (and possibly rework) once an update takes place. That's why it's usually not a good idea to extensively modify third party plugins.
Well in fact, yes! There is some kind of way.
You have to remove the to be modificated plugin's original actions/filters and then add your altereted actions/filters.
If the desired plugin is even coded in OOP you can just inherit the whole class and rewrite the wanted functions (oh sorry: "methods". we're talking about OOP ;) ). Instantiate your inherited class and rest as above.
Maybe there are better ways! I already search for a method so that the original class won't even get loaded but our altered one instead but I'm no John Carmack.
We've created a custom module for organizing and publishing our newsletter content.
The issue I'm running into now -- and I'm new to theming and Drupal module development, so it could just be a knowledge issue as opposed to a Drupal issue -- is how to get each newsletter themed.
At this point the URL structure of our newsletter will be:
/newsletters/{newsletter-name}/{edition-name}/{issue-date} which means that we can create template files in our theme using filenames like page-newsletters-{newsletter-name}-{edition-name}.tpl.php, which is great. The one issue I'm running into is that all of the content comes through in the $content variable of the theme. I'd like to have it come through as different variables (so that I can, inside the theme, place certain content in certain areas.)
Is there a proper way for doing this?
Edit: To answer some questions: The issue is a node (there are issue, edition and newsletter nodes) and the path is being set using hook_menu with wildcards and a router.
The best answer I could find was to add a check inside of phptemplate_preprocess_page to send the vars back to the module and have them be updated.
Like so:
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
if (module_exists('test_module')) {
_test_module_injector($vars);
}
}
then in my test_module.module file I created this function:
function _test_module_injector(&$vars) {
$vars[] = call_to_other_functions_to_load_vars();
}
It seemed to work. I wish there was a way to do this without having to touch the theme's template.php file, but otherwise this works well.
If there were better documentation for template preprocess functions, Drupal would be a lot more accessible - as it is, you need to piece together the information from a lot of different explanations. One place to start is here:
http://drupal.org/node/223430
but if you take the time to work through the tutorial below, you'll find you can do most things:
http://11heavens.com/theming-the-contact-form-in-Drupal-6
This is an old post, and the OP's issues seems to have been solved.
However, just for others finding this through Google (or otherwise):
Install the 'Devel' module: http://drupal.org/project/devel
Also the 'Devel Themer' module: http://drupal.org/project/devel_themer
Use Devel Themer to go through the $content variable and find what you need to pull out.
There are a bunch of Devel/Themer docs/tuts out there, but its usage is pretty straightforward. Note, though, that some stuff in there will need to be sanitized before printing in the theme.
The suggestion to show the node as a View and then modifying the view templates sounds pretty crazy, though it'll work.
