Welcome to my new video series, “Regular Expressions for Dummies”. Over the course of ten videos or so, I’m going to teach you how to use regular expressions in your Javascript and PHP applications. As always, I’ll assume you know absolutely zip. If you haven’t already, subscribe to our RSS feed, or follow me on Twitter to stay up to date on new releases.
While we sort out the final touches on the .psd file, we are going to spend some time today to have a little fun with Wordpress and also create a very simple Wordpress plugin. If you are interested in learning more about using RSS feeds with wordpress and would like to learn the basics of creating a plugin, then today is the day for you!
Hey everyone. Just a note that Day 13 of this series was posted on the nettuts+ blog. I’m hoping to attract more subscribers, so that we can ultimately put even more effort into bringing you great tutorials. Feel free to ask questions on either site. Watch it now!
We’ll take a short break from working with MySQL in order to analyze how to work with the file system. Today, you’ll learn how to use the “file” function, as well as “fopen”, “fgets”, and “fputs”.
With the release of Wordpress 2.7 came some awesome new features to the comment section, including threaded comments. Today we will pick up where we left off in Day 8 of the series and continue tweaking our custom comments.php file to perfection. Not only will we cover threaded comments, but how to paginate comments as well! It’s a screencast full of comment enhancements and features, so get ready and let’s do this!
Continuing on from Day 10, we’ll review SQL insert statements that will allow us to add new rows to our MySql database with PHP. Additionally, we’ll take a look at using foreach statements to loop through an array.
I promised you last week that we’d begin working with databases in Day 10. I’ll show you how easy it is to get up and running with MySql. We’ll also review the correct way to retrieve information from our new database.
Today it’s all about the comments! So many of you have been requesting that we cover the comments.php page, so today we will do just that. Throughout this and the next series we will cover all the ins and outs of dealing with comments in Wordpress, including gravatars and threaded comments. This is one of the longer screencasts we have done so get comfortable, start your servers, and lets start day 8!
Welcome to Wordpress for Designers Day 7! We’re moving right along with our custom Wordpress theme today and will be creating a few more files from scratch. We will also finish making our sidebar completely widget ready and have a look at what that means and how it works. Get your text editor and local server ready and let’s go!
