Hey guys. Quick html/wordpress related question... I want to see how often people click a specific link to get to another internal page. For instance, to see if having a contact link in my footer is worthwhile or not. I was thinking of doing fake anchors (href="contact.php#ftr") so I could watch it in Mint, but it only shows the destination page w/o the anchor. Not to mention I am afraid I will start having weird SEO problems. Any ideas on how to track internal links like that?

Ned posted:You probably want to look into clickmap tracking or something like that. There is nothing internal to Wordpress for keeping track of what elements people click on. Figured as much, thanks. I actually just realized I could use bit.ly - hope it doesn't slow things down too much. Might look at my own shortener instead. I just reread the thread...I havent kicked into a WP thread since the old megathread. :-) I'm currently reworking http://bit.ly/1NhZs, tweaking the Cleaker theme and making it more to my liking. I've done several dozen WP sites myself and anytime I have an idea or am asked to do come up with one, I immediately think 'how can I do that using wordpress'.

Just installed http://yourls.org/ (Lester Chan and Ozh wrote it). It creates either a self hosted short url or bit.ly/tr.im/etc. when you make a post, then can optionally tweet it for you. Very cool stuff.

I have another headache I've been fighting with...maybe you guys can help. I want to put a text link to add a url to Instapaper. They provide an api (http://bit.ly/FKx0p) and a bookmarklet (http://bit.ly/14gEww), which is accessible through a plugin (http://bit.ly/S2POI). However, the plugin is an iframe showing a graphic. I tried to match it style wise, but the iframe fucks it up (http://bit.ly/spD5 - below each excerpt). Anyway, point is that I'd like to pass the permalink to Instapaper through a normal href. The code below *almost* works, except that it doesn't add the url - a minor problem as you can imagine. code:
Anyone want to see if they can make this work using the info above? I wasted hours on it yesterday and cant get a response from the developer (which is cool, it's not his problem).

I've gotten myself stumped. He;lp? I want to have a category description displayed - chosen randomly from all available categories - that links to the category page using the description as the link text. I can make it work if I specify the category, but I'm not sure how to get it to iterate through my categories to be random. Here's what I have so far: php:<?php $category_id = get_cat_ID( 'Finance' ); $category_link = get_category_link( $category_id ); ?> <a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>"> <?php echo category_description($category_id ); ?> </a>
|
# ¿ Aug 20, 2009 21:16 |
|
I kind of cheated and just threw some category names into an array for now:php:<? $input = array("Finance", "Utilities", "Games", "Media", "Internet"); $rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2); $category_id = get_cat_ID ($input[$rand_keys[0]]); $category_link = get_category_link( $category_id ); ?> <a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>"> <?php echo category_description($category_id ); ?> </a> ?>

Any votes on the best appointment scheduling plugin? And as a bonus question: a 'helpdesk ticket' system...
|
# ¿ Aug 30, 2011 19:49 |

I need your opinions, gents and gals. I'm setting up a site wherein someone can open a 'support' ticket, but I need to be able to collect payment before they open a ticket. Ideally, the workflow would be: * Login to account or create a new one * Agree to terms ($ per incident, blah blah) checkbox * Pay via Paypal/Google/Amazon * Return and enter the ticket To complicate it more, I'd like to offer 'prepaid' support where they can buy tickets in advance at a discount. I have a feeling I'm looking at a shopping cart though, with a 'return_to_paid_enter_ticket' page. Any thoughts or ideas? Worst case is I let them enter the ticket, send an invoice then work the ticket I guess.
|
# ¿ Aug 31, 2011 17:33 |
|
Here's my worst case scenario. I'm actually warming to this idea, as I can script an auto-response invoice server side probably without too much trouble. And I could also just create a 'sell me 4 tickets' form and keep track manually.

Anyone else been affected by the timthumb bullshit? I've had index.php and htaccess files modified to point to .ru domains. Serious pain in the rear end to clean up on a shared host, spanning 20+ domains. Every db user and password to be changed, all files scanned, all themes not in use are being trashed. I want to punch someone.

Hey guys. Having around a dozen sites using Wordpress, I spend a lot of time doing updates, monitoring security, copying content back and forth, etc. I'm considering moving everything to Multisite - does anyone see any reason not to do so? Benefits are clear - single plugin repository, integrated content, quick deployment of new sites and of course a single (though large) db to backup. Downsides: if something gets hosed up, it's for every site. Initial config might be a pain. What else?

Hi all. Back in 2005 I started a site, using Wordpress, and kept it going for a few years. Then when my real job got in the way I let it languish. Now I've got some free time and I decided to revive it. I was wondering if you could take a look around and see what you think. It's based on InReview by Elegant Themes. There are a few things I've yet to do, including: * Revamp comments * Insert galleries below each post * Make it easier to handle reviews * General css tweaks for browser compatibility though IE is not a concern * social and customized login page * a bit of mobile tweaking Anyway, if you get a second: http://babygotmac.com/wp-login.php goon/stairs (subscriber account) Feel free to make comments, rate, etc. If you see anything security wise, PLEASE let me know. Hopefully all is fairly current. Also, if you see anything you like, ask - happy to share my customizations. PS: No real content at the moment, just copy/paste stuff mostly. PSS: I'm considering pulling comments - just allowing ratings from authenticated users. Any opinions on that? It would cut down on BS, plus I could style it to look like the sidebar (avatar | name | rating)... pipebomb fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Jul 8, 2013 |

Hey guys. I've got my site setup to list 4 posts on the home page. These are the only posts on the site. I have removed their <h1> links so basically you scroll from post to post and it looks like continuous content. In my header, I'm using wp_get_recent_posts to show the posts in an inline <ul>. However, now I'm trying to figure out how I can link to them on the index page, as opposed to their actual permalink. Ideally i could do something with anchor IDs, but I've been poking at this for hours and now my brain hurts. Ideas? Here's what I'm using in the nav: code:

Wordpress pages have password protection built-in (create a page, click 'visibility'). Or do you need a different password per person?

So...a server I now manage has about 180 installs on it. For whatever reason, each and every one requires FTP credentials for updates and plugin downloads, even recent installs. It's a fairly standard lamp server, I suppose. Anyway, it occurs to me that even if I manually install wp on my own shared, hosted server, I don't need to use FTP. So I could manually do the ( define('FS_METHOD','direct'); ) mod as seen on http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/update-wordpress-without-ftp/, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing, like a server side config option that other hosts use? Any thoughts, experience with this? That said, any ideas on touching every wp-config to append define('FS_METHOD','direct'); barring a system wide change?

19 is the id of the menu. I ended up just manually adding them since I was in a time crunch. Sucks not to have a native way to show children though.
