Dr. Sean Sullivan had a fine-looking site, but he couldn’t update it. He also wanted a blog attached to the site, but a blog means updating. What to do, what to do? WordPress.

NextGen Gallery: upload_max_filesize
The fabulous NextGen Gallery was maxing (timing) out when uploading zip files. My server said it could only handle 2 MB uploads, so I went searching. Most help said to make changes to the .htaccess file, but I did that and I think my host has something set up (suexec or something) that doesn't allow [...]
Navigo
Business Capital has a nice horizontal menu with drop-downs. Most of them are just (parent) pages with children and then grandchildren. Fine, good, works fine. But either it was a glitch or just too late at night, but when on a sibling page, the drop-downs for that parent no longer dropped down. Hmm. Tried some [...]
Hover-over pop-up text, links, and anchors
A client wanted a glossary on her site so that keywords would link to more description of those words. She wanted some "bubble" hover over/pop-up text and/or a link to a full definition at a glossary page.
Image Captions
I often get requests for the ability to add image captions to images. Technically, it's a bit of a pain, so I usually recommend to just put some text under the photo or next to it. Better yet, use a photo gallery (e.g. NextGen). I just ran across the Image Caption Easy plugin and so [...]
Custom Query String
Found this plugin: Custom Query String Let's you put pots in order by date or alpha, all or some (# determined by you), desc or asc. Simple and nice, used for Early Bird Online.
VideoPop
Handy plugin from Impressum, VideoPop allows you to easily upload or link to videos and have them pop-up in a new window and play. Don't forget: Needs a file (videopop.php) in the root folder
G2 Remote
Do you know about Gallery Remote? It's a handy desktop interface so that you can upload entire folders of images to a site. I use it for my personal (schatzkin.com) photography site (with Xoops, but no difference, really). I could not upkeep my site otherwise; it would take too long to upload images one by [...]
E-Commerce
Changed file /languages/EN_en.php, line 210 from: define('TXT_WPSC_PNP', 'PnP'); to: define('TXT_WPSC_PNP', 'S&H'); for that New Zealand term for Shipping and Handling. I also changed line #141 of style.css (in plugin directory) to: width: 200px; from 100% so AJAX cart won't flow over text of product. Hmm. Only a problem in FF, not IE. Finally figured out [...]
Post Icons
This plugin allows you to assign a certain image to a post (much category icons does) and let's you resize it, give it some CSS formatting, etc.
Recent posts in category
This code seems to do the trick: PLAIN TEXT CODE: <h2>News & Views</h2> <ul class="cat class"> <li class="list class"> <a href="http://www.likoma.com/recent-posts-in-category/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Recent posts in category">Recent posts in category</a> </li></ul> <li class="list class"> <a href="http://www.likoma.com/recent-posts-in-category/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Recent posts in category">Recent posts in category</a> </li></ul> <li class="list class"> <a href="http://www.likoma.com/recent-posts-in-category/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent [...]
Setting up a member/user directory in WordPress
I've had several requests to help out with how I put together the member/user directories on a few sites (e.g. BNI Embarcadero). I recently did another tutorial (more links to code on that page) showing how to use the UserExtra forms from the user's perspective, but this is a tutorial that shows how to set [...]

Full-featured photo gallery. Also as plugin for WordPress.
Extended Profile
For months, I've been wanting to use the Extended Profile data (from the userextra plugin, comments) to show a list of members on a post/page. I wanted more than just Firstname Lastname, Email, ICQ, etc. I wanted Address, City, Favorite Vegetable, whatever. After finding this code and then this bit of PHP to pull the [...]
