By default it is auto-detect to english which is most of the people want. This plugin helped me to develop my recent project in Portuguese language.

Here, a new plugin of jQuery can be used to display the flash messages like twitter. (see twitter’s settings page)

I added some more functions to this plugin to display the notification in different context, say information, warning or error message. The function show_flash(‘message here’); can be used for this purpose. Second parameter is the type of message. For example, show_flash(‘Error in deleting file’, ‘error’) OR  show_flash(‘Email address entered is invalid’, ‘warning’)

If you use sessions to save flash message , for example in codeigniter $this->session->set_flashdata(‘message’,'hello’); you can use this plugin to display them by adding a php code in the footer  (or header) of every page

<?php if($this->session->flashdata(‘message’) != ” )  : ?>

<script>show_flash(‘<?= $this->session->flashdata(‘message’) ?>’)</script>

<?php endif; ?>

Here you can download the full source code:  http://www.sajithmr.me/downloads/jbar.zip

Go here to find it : http://fancybox.net/

You need to add the below javascript in addition to the jquery js file.

<script type="text/javascript" src="path-to-file/jquery.fancybox.js"></script>

To create a link to open in fancybox, call the function fancybox. For example, if you have a link pointing an image <a href=”myimage.gif” id=”imglink” />

Call

<script>

$(“#imglink”).fancybox();

</script>

The window automatically resize with image. If you put title attribute, it shows the title below with the light window.

Instead of image, you can point a file. If you need to open that file in iframe, use class=“iframe”

Visit http://fancybox.net/howto for more usability.

Using firephp , you can debug your php code. Firephp is a firefox plugin which works on firebug console.

In our php life, we know we can use echo function to print or debug the value of a variable and we usually do that. But if there is any header function such as image manipulation, redirection etc, if you use echo or print either it leads into unwanted results or we get the common error, cannot modify header information headers already sent  !!!

The one solution for this is, writing the variable value into a log file and check the log file after execution. But the advantage of fire php is, you can log messages, or value of a variable and can see through firebug console.

For example:

<?php $fire_php->log(‘Enter into function’); ?>

<?php $fire_php->log($result); ?>

You can also categorize your error as warning or error . eg:

<?php $fire_php->warn(‘Variable value is not set’)?> or

<?php $fire_php->error(‘No parameter passed’) ?>

For more go to: http://www.firephp.org/

It prompts the user a confirmation message before they close the browser window or tab. After that a lightweight window popup jumps up with your preset announcement or message  (in richtext format)

The Advantages >>

1. You can avoid the accidental close of browser window
2. You can tell or mention any message or offers before they navigate away from your website
3. It works not only on closing, but in any type of external navigation (Internal navigation is screened out from this warning)
4. Since it is built on lightweight window support, your message or warning appears very eye-catchy

You can download the plugin from : http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/onclose-warning.zip

Screen Shot - Warning before close

From the setting page, you can set your rich text message or warning / offer . See the screen shot:

Warning Before Closing

For wordpress version less than 2.3 , Go to Options  >  writing, and  for greater than 2.3, Go to settings > writing

What you have to do is create an email account with pop3 support

You can see the heading “Post via e-mail” there.

Enter your email server (by replacing mail.example.com)

Enter your pop3 port. (110 by default)

Enter your email login and password.

Choose a category to for the email entry posts

Finally Press update option Button

What you have done above is only the settings. For grabbing or pulling the content from email, you need to call/trigger an url.

That url is: http://yourblogdomain/wordpressinstalldir/wp-mail.php

Either you can call it manually. Or you can set up a cron job for that url by call the url using wget or like functions

Another simple mechanism to call this email trigger is use a hidden iframe in your blog template. (anywhere)

<iframe width=”0″ height=”0″  style=”display:none”  src=”http://yourblogdomain/wordpressinstalldir/wp-mail.php“></iframe>

The problem with this email posting is , it strips all the html tags before entering into wordpress database.

The is no way to find the attachments from an email.

So I decided to start a wordpress plugin which does the above missing properties. If there is any ‘working’ plugin available, please let me know, so that  I can avoid the re-inventing of wheel .

Thanks
