It is entirely possible to add your own links to the buddypress bar without modifying core files. It is also possible to add your own drop down menus complete with flyout menus. Let me show you how.. First, lets tackle adding a simple link to the buddypress admin bar. What I’m going to do is tap into the buddypress admin bar and add a link using a php file placed in the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ folder and activated via the plugins menu. Create a file in your /plugins/ dir and name it erocks-admin-bar-mods.php then drop the following code into it. After this, go to your plugins page, and activate the BP Nav Bar Mods Plugin. ...

I wanted Analytics360 to be visible to the editors of a particular website. I found the appropriate threat on the net that explained it, and set about doing it. But then I noticed that the code had changed a bit since the last post, thusly making the workaround display the api settings page to editors (no good!). So, what I did, was change all instances of ‘manage_options’ to ‘moderate_comments’, inside analytics360.php but then I duplicated the function that created the menu, and put it and the original behind an IF/ELSE statement and removed the creation of the settings page in the appropriate place, and voila. settings page for admin, analytics page for admin and editors!.. ...

So, to modify the href tag for the image widget plugin output. just open up /views/widget.php and add rel=”nofollow” inside the echo string on the 6th line. Here is a copy of my code <?php echo $before_widget; if ( !empty( $title ) ) { echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; } if ( !empty( $image ) ) { if ( $link ) { echo '<a rel="nofollow" class="'.$this->widget_options['classname'].'-image-link" href="'.$link.'" target="'.$linktarget.'">'; } if ( $imageurl ) { echo "<img src=\"{$imageurl}\" style=\""; if ( !empty( $width ) && is_numeric( $width ) ) { echo "max-width: {$width}px;"; } if ( !empty( $height ) && is_numeric( $height ) ) { echo "max-height: {$height}px;"; } echo "\""; if ( !empty( $align ) && $align != 'none' ) { echo " class=\"align{$align}\""; } if ( !empty( $alt ) ) { echo " alt=\"{$alt}\""; } else { echo " alt=\"{$title}\""; } echo " />"; } if ( $link ) { echo '</a>'; } } if ( !empty( $description ) ) { $text = apply_filters( 'widget_text', $description ); echo '<div class="'.$this->widget_options['classname'].'-description" >'; echo wpautop( $text ); echo "</div>"; } echo "<div>"; echo $after_widget; ?>

So, I found that my wordpress Image Widget plugin by Shane and Peter inc, was having an issue aligning in my sidebar. I noticed that when I added multiple instances of the widget, they wouldn’t line up vertically. this naturally bugged the shit out of me, so I took a look at what was going on. Turns out the widget was actually closing a div that it hadn’t opened. Basically this update (3.2.8) is creating validation errors and prematuraly closing my themes sidebar div. So, I opened up the plugin files and took a look. I started with the /views/widget.php file that the readme mentions as being the output for the frontend widget display. Looking in the file I couldn’t see where the close div tag was. it looks like it is part of the $after_widget string thats generated elsewhere in the code. so rather than spend forever looking for it. I decided to simple OPEN a new div, right in front of the call to the string. That way, I could open the div and the string would close it. Check the frontend. VERTICAL ALIGNMENT ACHIEVED! check validation, NO ERRORS! wicked….. Here is my code for the /views/widget.php file.. ...

So here is the steps I used to call the GD star rating for a post and display it where I wanted. In my case it was in the LI tags of a list of all posts in a category. You could use this to post the rating right up next to your post title with a little modification to your template. So, What I did was I called a new wp_query and sorted it based upon the gd star rating. Then while inside the loop I used wp_gdsr_render_article where I wanted the rating to display. ...
