Följ mig i aggregerad form
Vet inte riktigt om aggregerad är rätt ord här. Eller om det finns. Men det kändes bra iaf. Hursomhelst: jag gillar tjänster som aggregerar en persons alla kanaler, dvs. sammanställer alla mina aktiviteter online till ett enda ställe. Vill ni se mig i aggregerad form så finns jag hos FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/feather och hos Profilactic: http://www.profilactic.com/mashup/eskapism.
Härligt nördigt.
Simple SEO is a…simpler SEO-plugin for WordPress
Yes, yet another plugin from me. This time I have developed an almost featureless and simple to use SEO-plugin. It looks like this:
So a new SEO-plugin for WordPress eh? Doesn’t it already exist like a thousand of them?
Probably. But none like mine.
I got tired of all the fancy SEO-plugins out there with a huge amount of options that I never use. So I created Simple SEO. My own plugin with only the features that I care about: the page title and the menu label.
Actually, the plugin is a lot about usability and aesthetics too. It’s not very nice, and often not very user friendly, to have the same text as the page title, in the URL, as the menu label and as the headline. 4 places with the same text is probably 3 to many.

moveAddict: flytta filer med tangentbordet i OS X
Det här är ett program jag väntat länge på! Ända sedan jag började använda OS X istället för Windows så har jag saknat möjligheten att flytta filer med hjälp av CMD+X (klipp ut) och CMD-V (klistra in). Det fungerar hur bra som helst i Windows Explorer, så varför Apple inte infört det i OS X och Finder är ett mysterium för mig. Som den tangentbordsjunkie jag är har jag varit småsur länge nu över att det inte gått. Men idag så sprang jag på ett program av en slump som verkar fixa just detta: moveAddict av Kapeli.
Jag har bara testat programmet i några minuter. Men när jag trycker CMD+X och sen CMD+V så flyttas faktiskt den fil eller mapp jag hag markerat. Och det är väl i princip allt jag behöver veta för att rekommendera programmet.
Kostar $4.99 förresten. I demoversionen kan man bara flytta en fil i taget. Jag ska utvärdera en stund men sen blir det nog till att spendera mina sista slantar på detta program. Helt enkelt för att jag inte har något val.
WPML-compatible version of CMS Tree Page View now available for testing
The last week I’ve been busy modifying my plugin CMS Tree Page View to make it work together with the WPML-plugin, a plugin that let you translate the contents of your site.
As some of you know, my plugin show a tree (like in Windows Explorer or OS X Finder) with all the pages in your site. In this tree you can quickly use expand/collapse to show sub-pages and you can drag-and-drop to change the order or to move pages. To cut it short: It’s page management simplified!
Before this update all the pages belonging to all different languages where mixed together in the tree. With this update however you can now select between all the languages configured in WPML, so the tree will only show one language at a time. I think WPML and CMS Tree Page View both are great plugins and what could be better than both plugins working fine together? 
I am releasing this beta version of CMS Tree Page View so you brave WPML-users out there can test it and report any bugs to me before I upload it to wordpress.org. Download the beta version here: http://bit.ly/c2kmdf and report any bugs to me at par.thernstrom@gmail.com.
And now for a little bonus feature: this beta version of CMS Tree Page View can also show custom post types – a much asked for feature.
Here is a screenshot showing both the WPML-functions and the custom post type in action:
wp_list_pages: customize the look of pages that have children
Here’s a quick tip for WordPress and the use of wp_list_pages to create menus.
On a web site you often have pages with sub-pages/children and often you want to style these pages a bit different. Perhaps add a plus-sign or an arrow in front of the page. When I was working with Nice Navigation for WordPress I noticed that this was not possible by default in WordPress. It is however pretty easy to fix. Just add this code to your functions.php:
add_filter('page_css_class', 'nice_navigation_page_css_class', 10, 2);
/**
* adds class "page-has-children" to all pages that have children
* @param array $class. The page css class being modified, passed as an array from Walker_Page
* @param object $page. The page object passed from Walker_Page
* @return array Returns the new page css class.
*/
function nice_navigation_page_css_class($class, $page) {
// check if current page has children
$children = get_pages('child_of='.$page->ID);
if (sizeof($children) > 0) {
$class[] = "page-has-children";
}
return $class;
}
Now every page outputted by wp_list_pages have the class ”page-has-children” and you can style them any way you want.
