been watching some sam the cooking guy lately… i think i can tackle these…
on the topic of “figuring things out wrt coding” — i was working on converting a site to wordpress and was trying to figure out how to get a home page movie to appear ONLY on the home page (easily).
so i looked around and found out there was a wordpress function called “is_front_page()”
so, along with a nifty fade in/fade out script, i created this in the header.php file:
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { echo " <div class=\"hpmovie\"> <div id=\"xlide\"> <img src=\"wp-content/themes/[THEMENAME]/images/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" /> <img src=\"wp-content/themes/[THEMENAME]/images/11.jpg\" alt=\"\" /> ... </div> </div> "; } ?>
so basically, if it’s the home page, it’ll write stuff to the page… boom
so this won’t make sense to any of you, but i was pretty proud of myself when i made this. i used various xsl elements to basically have the page pull data from an xml document:
xsl
... <xsl:variable name="readmore"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@readmore != ''"> <xsl:value-of select="@readmore" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> See all <xsl:value-of select="@title" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <div style="font-size:8pt;"> <a href="{@url}"><xsl:value-of select="$readmore" /></a> </div> ...
this is a sample of the xml that it pulls:
<page id="..." title="Newsletters" url="newsletters.asp" thumbnail="include/media/images/products-newsletters.gif" description="blah blah blah">
so since there isn’t a title attribute to this node, it’ll default to the title. on the page, it’ll say “See all Newsletters”
i made it myself! yay
