Changing link in Wordpress template - php

quite an intimidating place you got here!
Basically I'm pretty new to web design, only really ever building around existing Wordpress templates.
I'm building my own website here: http://www.acjjphotography.com/ and currently when you click on a portfolio thumbnail it opens a description and you have to click 'LEARN MORE' to see the full portfolio. I want to eliminate this middle part.
I usually solve things like this by lots and lots of trial and error, changing bits of files for hours until the right thing happens. But this is usually with CSS, rather than HTML or PHP which I guess this is?
So how would I go about eliminating that middle part where it opens the description? I want it to go straight to the full portfolio when the thumbail is clicked.
Thanks!

It's not the css here, it's in your html page, there's 2 links, one for the middle page and one for the portfolio, you must replace the first link by the "more" link.
for exemple on your website (for JOOMSOLUTION) : the middle page is referring to #portfolio-196, and the "more" link is referring to http://www.acjjphotography.com/index.php/portfolio/joomsolution/"

Inserting amazon affiliate link in Wordpress by <iframe>

I am trying to inserting my amazon affiliate link on my wordpress website. But it doesn't work. When I publish the site, I can't see it.
Is it possible to insert the affiliate link into wordpress without using a plugin? I am actually using the free version of wp right now, so I can't install any plugins.
Thanks in advance,
Greetings,

As long as you can add in html code to a widget, you should be able to add the link. I've done this many times in both WordPress and Drupal and as long as you enter the link in html it always works.
As long as your theme has a widget area, add a text widget here, and place it where you want your link(s) to appear. If you can get a banner link that would probably give you better click rates, so here's how you can add that:
<img src="www.whereamizonhastheimage.com" alt="Product Name or Description" />
The text inside the "alt" area is there as a backup, in case the image fails to load, so you still at least will have a text link. also helps for people using screen readers who can't see images, making your site more accessible, for minimal effort.
If you just want a text link, you can ignore the img tag and go straight to the name of the product or whatever text you want to appear there between the opening and closing of the a tag like this:
<Your Text Here
The target="_blank" part just tells the browser to open a new window/tab, meaning people won't leave your site when clicking on an affiliate link. I typically do this on all links leaving a website I'm developing.

Having Full-screen website with slide up blog page

I am working on this new site and am having difficulties implementing this one functionality. The link is:
www.bigideaadv.com/adaptive2
I am using the Supersized.js plugin to make the image fit the size of the browser no matter the size or shape. I have also implemented a Wordpress blog as well under news+events. What I'd like to do is have the blog slide up from the bottom when you click on the link and back down when you click on another page. Exactly how the blog link works here:
www.ultranoir.com
I originally had all of the content shoved in the header.php file in Wordpress and was doing show hides. Needless to say, I was unsuccessful. Wondering if anyone had an thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
You may want to look into Wordpress Theming. It's pretty straight forward and there is a lot of great documentation found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
You wouldn't want to put all the code into the header.php file because that's not how wordpress works. You'll want to edit other files such as single.php and index.php.
Though for the "slide up / down" you should be able to use some simple jQuery for this:
$('#yourSlideMenuButton').slideToggle("slow", function(){
//do something when finished.
});
Please be careful not to plagiarize the other design!

is there a way to have a iframe not reload the page?

I have a page that opens in a modal on a joomla site. On that page, there is a hyperlink that links to a file on the server. That file opens up a joomla article. What normally happens when I have an a hyperlink on one article that links to another article is that only the content of the article displays in the modal, not the framework. But since I have the hyperlink forwarding to the file with the iframe, when it shows that article in the modal, it show the framework. Is there away to have the article show only the content, and not the framework while still having the iframe? I hope this question makes sense. You can see what i am talking about on this link, click on game template:
http://zaazoo.thewebbusters.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=1&Itemid=2
if you go to this link, and click on round 1, and then hit continue, you would see how the articles display only the content and not the frame work.
http://zaazoo.thewebbusters.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=8&Itemid=4
any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave
If you want to show just the article you can add &tmpl=component to the URL you are trying to display.
this might not be the best solution but i would recommend using a PhP include like :
<?php include("your-post.html"); ?>
Since joomla is php based this should work, and unlike iframes includes will take the theme of the site or modal.
Hope this Helps :)

Load on page inside another onClick

I need to include the content, scripts, forms and dynamic abilities of one page in another onClick.
Take a look at http://www.divethegap.com/scuba-diving-programmes-dive-the-gap/dahab-master-scuba-diver.html
Then follow one of the links that says 'Beginner' 'Open Water Diver' etc....
You will find a PHP page with a series of options. It is an adaption of the wordpress blog system to produce only specific options for specific programmes by considering each type of each diving programme a category and then displaying only results from that category.
You will see that each option is also a collapsible panel and there are also several javascripts that calculate durations, quantities and prices. There is also a validating webform at the end.
Now go back to the first page. What I would like to do is include all the content from the second page after the main header inside tabbed panels on the first page so that the customers can immidietly see everything that is included. Essentially the options on the first page would become a series of tabs.
The only way I can see to do this is with an iFrame as each option would need a unique URL ending (that is .php?cat=26 or .php?cat=27). THe problem is that the collapsible panels will not work with an iFrame as the iFrame will not resize when the panels open. There were also some calculation problems, but I think that was more down to me staring at the screen for the last 3 hours not remembering to include everything.
I have tried it with resizing iframe SSI scripts and have got nowhere.
I tried actually embedding it in the page better with a ajax script, but that left behind all the scripts that make it work. I checked with full URL's on everything and it would not take work with any scripts.
I know that you could just make the whole page reload but then the user would be at the top of the page again, and even if another script was applied to slowly bring them down again it would not be anything near as easy to use as if it was like tabbed panels.
Any ideas.
Kind Regards,
Definitely no need for iframes. AJAX will do the trick here.

How do I make the Preview link on a WordPress post or page point somewhere else?

I've done a lot of small projects on the side lately where the client wants a good chunk of the website to stay the same, they just want to be able to edit particular "areas" of the site. Namely, some text in some box somewhere.
I've found that WordPress works for this pretty well. The interface is nice and friendly to use, and it's got lots of work behind it so I don't have to reinvent wheels, fix bugs, etc.
So what I wind up doing is making PHP pages which look like what the client wants, then making the content editable areas contain a particular post or page, which is what is editable in WordPress.
I'm having the particular page's contents displayed on the page using code like this
<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $page_Contact->post_content); ?>
where $page_Contact is a variable defined elsewhere.
However, the "Preview" or "View Page"/"View Post" function on each page/post goes to the logical WordPress location and this is not the effect I want in this case.
So for example I have pages like this
www.site.com/index.php
www.site.com/about.php
www.site.com/contact.php
And so forth.
WordPress wants to have the "View Page" and "Preview Changes" links go places like
www.site.com/?page_id=2
www.site.com/?page_id=8&preview=true&preview_id=8&preview_nonce=45522671f5
Which is a problem because, in the permalink structure above, both of those go to the index.php page which, except for the page I'm using to structure index.php, it's not where I want the user/editor to go. And none of the cases above allow any sort of preview (which is a concession I'm willing to make given how I'm doing this)
Is there a way, preferably using a plugin to rig WordPress such that the preview for a page in the dashboard goes to a preview of the non-index.php page where the content will be housed? So for example the link for the "Contact" page in WordPress's dashboard goes to contact.php instead of ?page_id=2? This is a deal where I'm trying to get this done in the editing interface and I'm not concerned about the links in the site itself.
Obviously I would need to maintain this per-page and this would be a situation where new pages don't go up unless I put them there.
Take a look at the preview_post_link hook in WordPress -- it should be called when generating that link, and you can use that in conjunction with a custom field (or some logic) in order to construct whatever preview link you like.
Have you considered page links to plugin for wordpress? Also changing permalinks?
