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.

    When using this plugin, make sure you use ‘get_the_content’ instead of ‘the_content’ in your theme, then it will work.

    Good, but would be cool if I could drag it to the side bar so I didn;t have to scroll to the bottom of the page to use it. Also when I click to select colour, the colour picker appears right back up at the top of the page. A bit clunky but did the job and I’m looking forward to updates!

    tks, it would be nice, but some code can be seen on the screen in the beginning of the post after using it

    hello Sam we are using your template for our site and were wondering if you could help us out with the font on the flash header. We would like it to be more “readable” if possible. Please email me so we can talk about this.

    thanks

    I’ve been working all week on one thing that I can’t figure out. I’m using the 76 digital orange theme. I go to your site and I see exactly what I want to do. How do you create posts on any page? Almost each one of your pages have posts. But in my WordPress admin with your theme it doesn’t let me do it. Do I need a plugin? I’ve been working all week on this and everyday I work all day looking for something and come up with nothing. Please help. I can do almost everything else but this.

    Hi, as this is the very first release I haven’t had a chance to integrate the colour picker. Basically it works by hex codes e.g: #ffffff = white, #000000 = black. For a full list of colour codes you can visit: webmonkey

    Hi Sam:

    Just tried out you Digi Clock plugin (0.1BETA). Its a snap to use. I know that you probably have plans for other features so I won’t make any unreasonably unbearable requests. There is only one thing I’d like to bring to light… non-military time. The plugin, works great with my site color scheme right out of the box. I didn’t even have to change a thing. Thanks!

    Hi Sam.. looks good.
    I would love, however, a “countdown” feature…
    allowing us to put a clock widget on the sidebar with a configurable title to provide countdown clocks .. ie.. “Time until election day”, “Time until vacation”, etc

    Hi Afzal,
    In the options menu in wordpress you should see the tab for WP Digi Clock. Go to the WP Digi Clock options page and enter hex color codes for the background and text colours. If you dont see the colours change at first, try emptying your browser’s cache. Hope this helps…

wp plugin - remove www. from url

Date: 18th October 2007 at 6:11 pm | Filed under: development, plugins, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

A slight variation from my previous wordpress plugin 'Force www. in URL'.

This plugin removes the www. from the url regardless of what the user has typed or the link they have followed.This type of redirection is usualy done by altering the .htaccess file, which some Wordpress users may not have access to. Using a plugin to do this is an easy solution for WordPress users as the setup process is simple, and will be familiar to most of you.

Instructions:

  1. Download the plugin file here: Remove www. Plugin (rar) | Remove www. Plugin (zip)
  2. Upload the php file into your plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/)
  3. Go to your plugins page in WordPress and activate the plugin

    Do you know how to undo this plugin? After activating this plugin I can’t login to my wp-admin anymore. I have Wordpress 2.6.2. When I try to go to wp-admin or wp-login.php it redirects me to http://nl../wp-admin instead of http://mydomain/wp-admin

wp plugin - force www. in url

Date: 12th October 2007 at 6:21 pm | Filed under: development, plugins, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

This nifty little WordPress plugin will force the url to include the 'www.' part of the url string. Useful if you want your address to be displayed in a particular way regardless of how the user types it in. To see how it works delete the www. from your address bar (i.e. http://samburdge.co.uk) and press return. This type of redirection is usualy done by altering the .htaccess file, which some Wordpress users may not have access to. Using a plugin to do this is an easy solution for WordPress users as the setup process is simple, and will be familiar to most of you.

Instructions:

  1. Download the plugin file here: URL to Full URL Plugin (rar) | URL to Full URL Plugin (zip)
  2. Upload the php file into your plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/)
  3. Go to your plugins page in WordPress and activate the plugin
