How to: Add a contact me via Skype™ button

Published

on

This little trick is really simple and easy. All you need to do is plug this line of code anywhere you would like to use the text.

<a onclick="return skypeCheck();" href="skype:austin.passy?call">Call me on Skype!</a>

That’s is, pretty simple huh? Just make sure you change skype:austin.passy to your user name!

Want a test? Well, please use the text button, as I was getting to many call’s and hangups: Call me on Skype! Message me on Skype!

Thanks to Shayne for this code!

Update:

I was reminded by Shayne that you will have to add this script into your header.php file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/js/skypeCheck.js">
</script>

That way if the user doesn’t have Skype, they will be prompted to download it if they would like :).

Echo custom fields in any category

Published

on

Here is a neat trick. Say you want to show a custom field in you post or in a certain categories post. There is a simple code you need to write in order to accomplish this:

<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, "image", $single = true); ?>
<?php if($image != '') : if(in_category(7)) { echo ''; } else { ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>

In the example above I am calling the variable $image and telling the server that it equals the value of “image” inside get_post_meta or “custom field” of the current post.

Then we are asking if that variable $image doesn’t equal nothing or != and if it is in the category id of 7, echo what ever is in the single quotes (which is nothing in this example), otherwise show the <img> and the value inside “image” which should be the location of the image.

Update: Thanks to Austin from PressedWords for pointing out his trick, from the comment below.

<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">

This will tell any bot to follow your site, index it, but prevents a cached copy of this page from being available in the search results.

Disable search engine on search pages

A good idea when trying to get the most out of your blog is usging the meta tag to tell the web bots to search & index your site. But for good SEO you should apply this code in your header.php file of your WordPress blog.

<?php if(is_search()) { ?>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<?php }?>

This will keep your site from getting a hit from bots over duplicate entries. 🙂
