I'm trying to modify the WordPress Media Library very slightly.
Currently when viewing it, if I click on the file name, it will being up the edit page for that piece of media in the current tab. However, I would like it to be that when I click the file name, the edit page will open in a new tab.
I assumed this would be as easy as adding target="_blank" to the html link.
But I cannot find the .php file in my WordPress install that controls the Media Library, could anyone tell me which file it is please?
Many thanks,
Jake
The file you're looking for is located here: wp-admin/includes/class-wp-media-list-table.php.
However I don't recommend modifying that file. You want to avoid making changes to core files if at all possible. If you change that file, your modifications will be lost if you upgrade WordPress.
Instead, I would use javascript to add the title="_blank" attribute to those links. You'll need to enqueue a js file and then write a simple script to update the links:
(function($) {
$('.wp-list-table.media .media-icon a, .wp-list-table.media .column-title a')
.attr('target', '_blank');
}(jQuery));
This is a less than perfect way to accomplish what you want, but I think it is preferable to modifying the core.

Normal when i try to customise WP style i would use inspector view in Chrome and this would allow me to locate style code easily.
i was wondering how i can do the same for HTML or PHP code in WP such as plugins and the CMS it self?
Thank you
PHP is server side code and can't be found in the browser. If you want to see the code for WP plugins then you'll need to either download the plugin to your local machine or view the files on the server hosting WP.
Iassume you run it on your own root-/ webserver,...
so if you want to add HTML Elements to a post or site just do it in the text few like you would in an HTML-Editor like for some link thing for instance (you should allready know that..'pretty shure it also works for js).
However if you want to customize the way every page on your blog looks, you can also do this manually, but it won't be as easy.
There should be a section under the theme customization part where you could upload your own css and php (at least with a lot of styles it's like that).
I WOULD NOT mess with the files on your server, if you don't know what you are doin, cause - to be honest - you can make a great blog/ website by using the tools it gives to you. ;)
I recommend using the stylesheet from your wordpress theme for a custom HTML-document based on the source of a blog page, if you go for the looks... and in every other case just use plugins! :P
I am trying to redo my homepage of my website which is a WordPress website. The homepage is hardcoded in PHP, and I would like to figure out how to
Replace some of the image files
Edit the text under those image files
I have redesigned the (4) image files I want to update the site with, but I don't know where in the script to paste the name of those files. There are tones of file slike index.php, theme,php, and I would figure that under these I would see "front_forecast.png" somewhere where I could erase that and type in the image file name I want there instead, but I haven't had success.
It's going to be a bit hard to help you without seeing some code, your current site, or even knowing what your theme is. As gwillie said though, it might be best to go back to basics first.
From a template pov, I have always found this diagram helpful in understanding how WordPress uses its templates to output content (source: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Visual_Overview):
I'm editing an existing template in Joomla and I need to change the menu icons text. In Joomla Administrator, I cannot find the place where I can do this. So, in FireBug I found DIV container that I was searching for. But if I change the text in FireBug, my changes are obviously not saved. Now very basic question is: how can I know the name of PHP or HTML file, where this DIV container is located? Or how can I save my changes?
FireBug will only change web browsers content, it will not affect files on the server. If you know DIV's id you can search for files with this string on the server. To save changes - edit file and save - but on the server.
I use TestWrangler app (I'm on a mac) - open blank TW, click on Search, browse to target a folder to search through. I always search through a copy of my website folders on my hard drive rather than live site files. Search for the text string you're wanting to find which file contains it. Give TW a few seconds or more and it will tell you exactly which file contains the string.

When you right click on an HTML element and select "Inspect with firebug", on the right hand side of the firebug screen you will see the styles applied to that element, and where it says the line number, if you just hover your mouse over it it will show you the exact location of the file.
Use a file search tool, it is included in most IDE's, if your editor doesn't have such a feature try a file grep tools like wingrep (http://www.wingrep.com/)
I just thought I'd share this as a possible 'answer' as well.
there is a joomla extension that enables you to search through your source code within joomla itself.
Here is the link:

I'm sure it will come in handy instead of going through the hassle of a complex setup on localhost.
I recently purchased a script that I'm trying to change the CSS to pimp it up :)
However since I'm fairly new to CSS/PHP (I've done ASP before), I'm trying to use the "Live view" feature Dreamweaver 5.5 to edit the tpl.php files. I have setup the site as instructed in DW and it's working with basic PHP files, however when I try to open a tpl.php file it doesnt seem to handle all the includes or something, so essentially it doesnt know how to retrieve all the related CSS etc in order to show me what the site looks like.
It has the following code structure:
www.xyz.com -> this calls the index.php
Within index.php, it calls include_once ('global_mainpage.php');
Within global_mainpage.php it then calls $template_output .= $template->process('mainpage.tpl.php');
mainpage.tpl.php is the file that I need to change the layouts/CSS class reference etc.
My ideal way to work with the site is:
Say if I want to change something on index.php
I just click on one of the elements in live view
It would automatically launch the tpl.php file being used
I can then examine the CSS used and make a change to it
hit save and be able to view the change I just made
If this is not possible, do I have no choice but to use Aptana? I've used it before editing PHP code, but not tpl.php - I was hoping to have a WYSIWYG editor for tpl.php...
Many thanks for your help gurus! :)
Why don't you use FireBug on Firefox and hook it up with cssUpdater?
I have a website running on osCmax setup by a developer a while back and now I want to restyle some of the pages myself from the markup and CSS only.
I'm familiar with HTML/CSS and some jQuery to an extent but I have never touched any PHP. This is my first time really getting into any of the osCmax pages, site, etc., myself so I am little confused on what it really is or does.
If I want to edit any of the HTML/CSS myself for styling pages will I have to download and login to the osCmax admin panel to get to any of the files?
Or can I just go directly through my server to grab the appropriate HTML and CSS files? Wouldn't all the necessary files from the download be on my server already or is this something that I have to download to use?
If all you want to do is restyle the pages, then just modify the css. You shouldn't need to modify the PHP (unless parts of your HTML are created with out a class or id).
oscmax has a seperate folder for its template. all you have to do is editing the .css file. but sometimes you need to design the template from scrath and since the OSCMAX is outdated you must edit all the pages with .tmpl prefix.
