Stafflist Demo

StaffList is a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to build and maintain a sortable/searchable table of contact records. The plugin uses shortcodes that can be inserted into WordPress posts or pages. This page is simple demo of how StaffList appears in a page, but some additional information about how to use StaffList shortcodes is provided below the demo.

For this demo, sample data of The Simpsons characters was provided by Steven Lee (“witwal”) on GitHub.

 

Customizing Stafflist

You can insert the StaffList directory into any WordPress page or post using the shortcode:
[stafflist]

If you wish to change the default number of rows from 20 per page, use the shortcode attribute:[stafflist rows=50]

If you wish to use just a subset of records, use the shortcode attribute:
[stafflist subset="department:marketing"]

If you have a column in your StaffList called “Building” and wish to show records from Building A and Building B, use:
[stafflist subset="building:a|b"]

Searches are performed as you type and when the enter key is pressed.
If you wish to limit this function to just enter (or just type), use:
[stafflist on="enter"] or [stafflist on="type"]

FileChecker WordPress Plugin

Those who attempt to seize control of WordPress sites often do so by burying obfuscated code in the PHP scripts of plugins, themes or the WordPress core. This is done through various exploits in improperly secured PHP, less-restricted file system permissions, or server counter-measures.Read More

CropRefine WordPress Plugin

When an article is published in WordPress, it could likely appear across several of the internal templates, besides just the single post page. For example, you may see “Recent Articles” on the home page sidebar or footer, “Related Articles” at the bottom of other posts, and “Search Results” may show excerpts with thumbnails to help readers to quickly find relevant results. These other applications of featured images not only direct readers to the freshest content, but they also notify search indexers of changes to a WordPress sitemap. This boosts the credibility of the site and its author by showing that the site is maintained and current, and offering cross-links to promote relevance.Read More

Cordova CLI Doesn’t Like Spaces

This is a quick trick for any Cordova coders operating on a Windows environment.

#Command Line
   
C:\app\>cordova -d platforms add android
cordova library for "android" already exists. No need to download. Continuing.
Checking if platform "android" passes minimum requirements...
Creating android project...
Running command:
    cmd args=["/c",
        "C:\\Users\\My Account With Spaces\\.cordova\\lib\\android\\cordova\\3.4.0\\bin\\create",
        "--cli",
        "C:\\app\\platforms\\android",
        "com.mycompany.testapp",
        "Test App"]
'C:\Users\My' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

( Grrr )

Windows should probably know better than to create directories (especially often accessed ones, such as a user’s profile folder), if it doesn’t know how to later address them in command line.

If you’re scratching your head over this one, you can get around it by modifying the path.
Open superspawn.js, located  here:

C:\Users\[My Account With Spaces]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\src

Update the line that calls the command to use a symbolic link. It’s roughly line 57:

This:

Source code
   
cmd = resolvePath(cmd);

Becomes This:

Source code
   
cmd = cmd.replace('C:\\Users\\My Account With Spaces\\.cordova','C:\\cordovalink');cmd = resolvePath(cmd);

Then, create a symbolic link at the new location C:\cordovalink, using this command:

#Command Line
   
C:\>mklink /D C:\cordovalink "C:\Users\My Account With Spaces\.cordova"
symbolic link created for C:\cordovalink <<===>> C:\Users\My Account With Spaces\.cordova

Hopefully this will save you some time.
