Tips & Tricks
Display custom url if comment authors url is blank
Here is a nifty trick for your comments.php
template. If someone comes to your site and leaves a comment but doesn’t leave a url back to there site, the default link that is shown in place of the php code comment_author_url
is the current page link.
That might not look good. So, here is a little trick that I just implemented into my site. Besides installing the twittar plugin and pulling Twitter avatars I wanted to use the image itself for the authors url like. But if the author doesn’t have a Twitter avatar or a Gravatar it will display a default Gravatar that I set. If the default Gravatar is shown, usually the author will not leave a url link.
I would like to link the image to Gravatar.com so that they can get an image attached to their email address. So.. here is the code:
<?php if($comment->comment_author_url != "") { ?> <a href="<?php comment_author_url(); ?>"><?php gravatar(); ?></a> <?php } else { ?> <a href="http://gravatar.com" title="Get a Gravatar today!"><?php gravatar(); ?></a> <?php } ?>

Remove the title attribute using jQuery
In WordPress, when you use wp_page_menu
your anchor attribute’s usually carry a title with the same name. I’m not sure if it’s correct to do this, but it bother me when I hover over a page menu navigation link and I get a hover of the title.
So on my site I used jQuery to remove the title:
$("#nav a").removeAttr("title");
Pretty simple huh?

How to: Open external links in a new window
Over the weekend, I attended WordCamp Denver, and I was asked by John Hawkins how to force links to open in a new tab with out editing the source code. So, today lets learn a simple jQuery trick to open all external links in your site in a new tab or window. We are going to make sure you have jQuery active on your site, you can do this easily in WordPress, since it’s bundled with the latest installations. Use this code in your header: <?php wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>
then, below the wp_head
add the following:
<script type="text/javacript"> var $j = jQuery.noConflict(); $j(document).ready(function() { //external attribute $j("a:not([@href*=http://YOURSITE.com/])").not("[href^=#]") .addClass("external") .attr({ target: "_blank" }); } ); </script>
That’s it, just make sure you change the http://YOURSITE.com to your website.
Update
If you like you can remove the var $j =
and replace all $j
with simply just $

Fixing plugins not compatible with hybrid 0.4.2
Hey everyone, as you may have noticed I have a running on the site. While everything almost everything moved over smoothly, there was an issue with how my parent theme striped text in typography. This caused some plugins, like cformsII to not be allowed to print to the screen. Justin had helped to find a fix to filter the hybrid_typography
function.
Originally this function filtered out and changed some text that would not validate as XHTML. This had to be removed by running a new function in the child theme’s function.php
file.
add_action('init', 'remove_typography'); function remove_typography() { remove_filter('the_content', 'hybrid_typography', 11); }
