my challenge is to built a video portal, based on wordpress (blog already started).
so in the backend there must be a option to add, tag, descripe videos and in frontend the videos must have a comment function, must be searchable and so on.
wordpress gives already a large amout of functionallity and i want to use this, comments for example, but also categorisation and tagging.
what is the best practise to built such a "plugin" ?
where to start? what to use?
custom tables and built everything by myself or can i use the blog functionallity to advantage?
hopefully everything is clear, comment if not ;)
Take a look at VideoPress.

this might be easy question for you but not for me as i am really new to wordpress, i have setup Wordpress in my site as blog(and i am quite happy with that),
i want to display some posts from my wordpress blog to my base site, i am looking around but its like headache as i have thousands of references and i am confused,
i want to display posts from certain tags,
any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
I use a program called rss2html setup with a category parameter. Costs a few bucks, but you can do practically anything with it (or via one of the companion programs available at same site). I have used it tons of times passing a category, custom query, or other parameter to it using the config file.
If you choose to pick up a copy and have questions configuring, gimme a shout, I've done literally hundreds of them.
You can find the program I use here: www.feedforall.com
My client needs function for editing and updating the website content (text, image etc) with ease. Not with FTP or other thing but rather just page from where he can edit easily..
I found some website which provide this service a year back. The procedure was simple
1) Click the Admin button and enter credentials
2) Now in place editing feature is enabled.
I know there are javascript for inplace editing but i do not need that..
I want a MODERATOR page from where i will (admin) set which content he is allowed to modify.
I tried using
PHPMYEDIT
and was happy but the program is too old fashioned there are many thing which are not updated..
Just like the PHPMYEDIT i need a Program OR a service online which have a feature of
Existing website content editing / update / delete / modify
My website is in PHP / MYSQL / JAVASCRIPT / JQUERY and other addons.
Kindly suggest a solution to my problem.
recently i came up with a site
http://grabaperch.com/
that does exactly what i say but it is little complex (for the client) still suggest any thing like that. Suggestion are welcome..
Important - The pages/content are static
I've used a service called CushyCMS before, with varying degrees of success. It does require that you add a class to the HTML selectors that you wish the client to be able to edit.
It is a type of 'lite' CMS without really being a CMS (it just hides the FTP transactions in the background and gives a simple WYSIWYG interface.
Hope that helps
If you can convert the website into wordpress it will be the best solution
If grabaperch.com is little complex for you,
take a look on Uzuvi, https://getuzuvi.com
This very little CMS also, like Perch, can be a drop-in editor of existing website.
But Uzuvi console UI has ultra simple design.
Need to say this CMS has no moderator feature you mentioned, may be yet.
I tried search lot on net but failed to got any solution.
Actually I want to change layout in my joomla article based on the user navigation.
For an example let say if user visiting iPhone Case studies & click on any case study(eg: Angry Bird) it contains the images/slideshow of angrybird project in iphone screen, while if the same article visit from iPad case studies page it contains horizontal image of ipad screen (Note: layout is changed).
To be short - I need the content & layout change in same article base on navigation or condition.
Is there any plugin or component which will help me to achieve this ? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
I think the easiest solution for this problem would be to use two different articles for each of the above said cases. That way you can easily style either of the cases the way you want. And by using one article for it, I see no particular advantage, as opposed to using different articles. If you see of any particular advantage please share it with us.
In any case if you want it to still use a single article, it seems to me that it would be a more complex solution. From what I know, there does not exist a plugin or component to cater your particular use case.
A quick and dirty solution, that comes into my mind includes the Jumi extension, which you can find here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/1023/details . Jumi allows you to include PHP in your articles, etc..
You can then make an user-agent check and output everything as you need it for that particular device and for that particular article.
If you need different templates/layouts for both devices, I would recommend a theming framework, which does these things for you (applying different layouts for different devises). The T3 Framework from Joomlart does these things pretty well: http://www.joomlart.com/joomla/t3-framework-and-ja-purity-templates
I think the answer to your problem is 'Layout overrides'. Just create a layout override for the article component in the particular template folder you use for your inner-pages.
I think you should read through the following Wiki pages for a more clear understanding-
Joomla 1.5-http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_output_from_the_Joomla!_core
Joomla 1.6(Should be applicable for 1.7 as well)-http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_1.6
Hope that this solves your problem. Cheers.
I have seen another post here on Stackoverflow. Which says we can append page-class suffix to the tag. So as to style each article the way we we want, based on menu ids. This may be easier than a Layout override. Check out-
Joomla : How can we assign a different layouts to different menu IDs?
I'm pretty new to wordpress (only a couple of days), but I have it up and running on my website with the default theme. First of all I would like to change this theme. I have found a tutorial directly from wordpress but it is extremely vague: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development. I'd like to have a totally different layout for my website though, with only one page being replaced daily with a different article - a new article everyday basically. But I don't know where to start. I want to first create the theme though, I think that will put things in to perspective. How do I do so? I know the principles of php and enough about html and css to create whole websites. Thank you
That link should tell you everything you need to know. You basically just edit the theme files to get the layout that you want. The best way to learn truly is to experiment. If you have a specific question I could help you with that, but to tell everything involved in creating a custom theme would go way beyond the scope of an answer for this site.
I need to setup a blog using wordpress engine but i need it support multi languages (3 languages), currently i am thinking of using custom field to identify the language of current post though i knew thats not a best practices, does anyone has better suggestions?
I've tested 2 plugins that both looked very promising: qTranslate and Gengo
qTranslate works by adding inputs for all used languages for each post, Gengo used separate posts and links them in a "post Y is a translation of post X" way, which I preferred much (because it allowed me to not translate everything) and it worked fine for me.
I have used the xlanguage plugin and I am happy with it.
xlanguage site
I fi i remember well, wordpress uses a gettext "customization" library to translate itself.
I think you can make some options based on a session variable, about the translation files you're going to read.
Try using plugin wordpress WPML.
