Hey stackoverflow users,
I'm curious about Wordpress, I'm new to the whole Wordpress theme creation so I've began by using the basics of HTML combined with looking through the Wordpress codex to build a theme.
However, I have one question: How could I make it so images could be changed through the admin panel?
Let's look at it like this, I could set out, say; a logo div and a banner div, is there a way I could be able to set them so their images could be modified through the panel?
What would be the easiest method to do this?
Thanks
You could use the following for the header image:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support#Custom_Header
You can also define custom text inputs via the Settings API:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_API
I would say that the second link is not for beginners. To gain a little familiarity with theming I would try deconstructing Twenty Twelve or Twenty Thirteen. I would also examine the reason why you want to content manage these particular items. If you are looking to create a theme for distribution, there are many resources that can help you with this in the WordPress Codex.
there is no simple way to do that, you would first code or modify a theme to make it work like plugin, or what would i suggest is use theme editor in admin panel that is possible easiest way available.

Just had some questions I hope someone can shed some light on. I am looking to restrict certain data on a WordPress page to certain users, there are lots of plugins that offer restricted content in some ways, but I am looking to only restrict very specific content on that page, not the whole page. Is there something I am missing or something I should look at?
Just to give some more information, we're working with custom post types and on one of the pages that show the custom pages, some of the data that is being pulled out (within appearance->editor, not actually the WordPress page) so I will need to be able to have some kind of access to if($userlevel == "something") {}.
Many thanks
Nevermind It is actually quite easy, check the userlevel and restrict content, perhaps add a new role:-)
Think you can write simple plugin for this task or modify current theme. May be section [a link] http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference#User_and_Author_Functions help you. Wordpress Codex have a lot of information and you find what you need to solve your task. As i understand you need to use functions like user_can, current_user_can, current_user_can_for_blog or get_role and add_role inside wordpress loop.

As mentioned in my previous question, I happened to see this site 22words.com and just can't figure out a few things:
1) in the source code, it seems the name of the WP theme is "twentytwo" but there's no such a theme in existence. How could this be possible? Maybe they used another theme and renamed it to "twentytwo"? Is that do-able? How to actually do it? Or maybe they just custom-made the theme and gave it a name called "twentytwo"?
2) Some posts have a big green "read more" button (e.g. twentytwowords.com/if-you-have-keys-and-a-purse-or-know-someone-who-does-youve-lived-some-version-of-this-story/) how does this work? If I want to mimic this approach for long posts, what's the best way of doing it?
3) The top navigation bar have drop-down menus such as "latest posts" and "popular posts" in the respective categories. Is all this a gimmick or not? I mean, what's being shown are actually "latest" and "popular" posts, or is it just BS and there's no stats to back up "popular"? If it's not gimmick, then how is it implemented? Which plug-ins are in place to calculate traffic and generate "popular" posts?
Any help would be much appreciated!
lets get this done quickly :)
1.) I guess they have made an own theme and named it that way.
2.) In the editor you have a "readmore" tag
if you click this you will insert a special line / markup.
Now your theme nees a call for this line
"Excerpts (teasers) can be shown on WordPress through two methods:
The first, keeping the the_content() template tag and inserting a quicktag called more at your desired "cut-off" point when editing the post.
The second, by replacing the the_content() template tag with the_excerpt()."
Here is all you need: Link to wordpress documentation the excerpt
3.) There are quite a lot of ways to do that. You could order posts by popularity by the number of comments or the number of views or the number of shares. There a loads of tutorials on the web to do so. It's so simple it would be sad to use a plugin AND: you could learn a lot from it...
tutorial by view is here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-track-popular-posts-by-views-in-wordpress-without-a-plugin/
tutorial by number of comments is here: http://www.jafaloo.com/how-to-display-popular-posts-in-wordpress/
all the best

I am using this Worpress plugin: http://bestwebsoft.com/plugin/portfolio-plugin/
I already changed the portfolio itself by including the requests into my own template, but if i click onto one of the items, it directs me to the /portfolio/ permasite, which is then displaying the requested portfolio item in detail.
Now here is my question: I do know where to find the template for this single display (portfolio-post.php) but I'd like to change it myself, without risking to lose the template when I update the plugin. So editing within the portfolio plugin folder is not an option for me.
Is there any method to change this template by placing a "portfolio-post.php" whatever in my own theme folder?
If you create the portfolio-post.php file in your template folder and edit it there, you don't have the risk that an update will overwrite it.
As long as you position the file inside the same folder basis as in the plugin you should be fine
e.g. /your-theme-folder/portfolio-post.php

I have just started using opencart, but I'm good with moderate php. In opencart, the only way to add products currently is through the admin panel. I would like to let users have the option of adding products, without seeing any of the admin panel, like ebay without the auction or amazon. I tried looking at the database to see how it is organized, but there are WAY too many tables. Also, I can't locate the php script that inserts the new product information into the database. Does anyone have an extension or at least know how opencart inserts the product in the database?
Thanks for all the help and sorry for the paragraph.
The file you are looking for is /admin/model/catalog/product.php. You will see that there is a method called addProduct which you will have to replicate, remove anything that shouldn't be accessible and you'll also need to create the form for it too. For more info on the MVC, check out this answer

The wordpress is such a great tool. I'm wondering if it will be a problem to start adding sections at some point, nothing to do with the blog, just sections for the site with different functionality ( say a database of searching stuff ) perhaps also incorporate and let user reistered through the word press database with the other featues in the site?
What should I need to know for this? will it be OK?
Some firm knowledge of PHP will allow you to write your own Wordpress plugins,
see this (Wordpress: Writing a plugin) page for more information.
There is also a 5 minute video tutorial about writing your first plugin which can be found here
You should try PodsCMS as a way of expanding on top of your vanilla Wordpress install. It's got a great interface, great tutorials, and the developers are always more than willing to help.
You can literally do just about anything with PodsCMS, especially with a good working knowledge of PHP and WordPress' workflow.
I've found the Wordpress plugin Magic Fields really useful for adding cms style features on Wordpress Pages. It may give what you want.
You can modify the wordpress pages if you want it integrated in the blog, or add new things on other pages.
Are you asking if you can use the wordpress login info for other sections of your site?
