WP Custom Title Colour Plugin

Date: 31st October 2007 at 8:42 pm | Filed under: development, plugins, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

This WordPress plugin does exactly what its title suggests, gives you the ability to customise the title colour for any post via a panel in the sidebar of the write page. Handy for creating alerts, or drawing attention to a particular post.

Instructions:

  1. Download the plugin file here: WP Custom Title Colour Plugin
  2. Upload the folder 'custom_title_colour ' into your 'wp-content/plugins' folder
  3. Activate the plugin via your plugins page in wordpress
  4. When writing or editing a post you can control the title colour via the 'Title Colour' tab in the right sidebar.

This plugin utilises the Colour Picker Selector script by: FREE-COLOR-PICKER.COM

    Hi, it only changes the colour at the moment, but I could easily add those features for a future version, good suggestion! I have just released the plugin, to see how people respond to it, so it may not be updated for a while. However, I will email you and let you know when the next version is released.

    Thanks for the plugin! I have a minor comment - when I unzipped the file, it did not create a folder called ‘custom_title_colour’. You may want to create the zip so that the extracted files are in the properly named folder.

    Again, thanks for sharing - I have many ideas on how to use this plugin.

    I just installed the plugin and it works wonderfully. I noticed that you used the same color picker I used in my Multiblix plugin. You can view Multiblix at http://blog.websitemechanics.com/?page_id=3

    Thanks for the feedback, I’ll change the archive so that it contains the correctly named folder inside it. Multiblix looks very cool!!

    Hi. Nice idea :) but doesn’t work with my blog. Like Thunder-man, I always get two titles, first one in black (standard) with “>, second one is in customized colour, like:
    Message in a bottle”>Message in a bottle

    It`s also impossible to reset given colour back to “none”, last chosen colour seems fixed.
    My theme is Silver Shine 1.0 by IS.

Return a list of files from a chosen directory

I found this really useful php script the other day. It returns a list of files from a given directory:

    A rough and ready PHP Class for displaying directories and files separately. I’ve added a bit of error checking hence the @ symbol and die instruction. Let us know what you think?

    class ListDir {
    function __construct($dir=null){
    $this->directory=array();
    $this->file=array();
    if(isset($dir)){
    $dh = @opendir($dir) or die(”Go make a cup of tea: opendir($dir)”);
    while(($item = @readdir($dh))!==false){
    if($item==’.'||$item==’..’||$item==’Thumbs.db’){continue;}
    if(is_file($dir.’/’.$item))array_push($this->file,$item);
    if(is_dir($dir.’/’.$item))array_push($this->directory,$item);
    }
    closedir($dh);
    }
    return true;
    }
    public function showFiles(){
    var_dump($this->file);
    }
    public function showDirectories(){
    var_dump($this->directory);
    }
    }

    $directories = new ListDir(’/home/system/www/’);
    $directories->showDirectories();

    $files = new ListDir(’/home/system/www/’);
    $files->showFiles();

    This method is simplistic. It also recognises whether it’s a file or folder, and changes the directory path acordingly.

    if($path==”){
    $path = “files”;}

    $dh = opendir($path);
    $i=1;
    while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
    if($file != “.” && $file != “..”) {

    $findme = ‘.’;
    $pos = strpos($file, $findme);
    if($pos == false){
    echo “$i. <a href=’?path=$path/$file’ rel=”nofollow”>$file (Folder)</a><br />”;} else {echo “$i. <a href=’$path/$file’ rel=”nofollow”>$file</a><br />”;}

    $i++;
    }
    }
    closedir($dh);

    Hey Sam,

    In the code above you could take on a more OO approach. This could mean applying default properties within the object, under a bespoke name space for clarity. Also by boot strapping the object with some custom methods, assessors or mutators can help with extracting, adding or modifying properties within the object.

    A lot of the time you also want to improve the programmes performance, both in terms of the server load and maintainability, and make the application as extensionable as possible, e.g. being able to create, extend and mutate any properties at will.

    Also its good to maintain some separation between the business logic and the ui side of things.
