How to Add a WordPress Plugin Action Link June 25 2012
I always prefer it when plugins make it as easy as possible to find their configuration page. When I install a new plugin the last thing I want to do is hunt around for some hidden menu item, I want to play around with my new toy! And what better place to link to a plugin’s configuration than right from the admin Plugins page where the plugin is activated, deactivated Keep Reading…

Debugging WordPress June 11 2012
The following are some techniques I use nearly every day for debugging WordPress and WooCommerce, and can be used for plugin or theme development equally. Echoing or printing to the screen will only get you so far when debugging, especially in a complex framework like WordPress; to really understand the code flow, and to trace and fix issues, you need to be able to log messages to a file. For Keep Reading…

How to Determine the WooCommerce Current Page June 04 2012
WooCommerce makes it a snap to programmatically determine the current page through the use of their Conditional Tags. These functions can be used to check whether the current page is the shop page: is_shop(), or a product page: is_product(). See WooCommerce Conditional for the full list. These functions are based on the standard WordPress Conditional Tags, and thus behave in the same manner. Meaning that if you try to determine Keep Reading…

Add ‘Sold Out’ to WooCommerce Variable Product Dropdown June 04 2012
Note: Due to a change in WooCommerce 2.0 the following code no longer works, and I’m not seeing any way of making it compatible again – Justin This is a quick little ‘how to’ that came up in a recent client WooCommerce request.

GitHub Repository Not Found Workaround May 17 2012
Today I encountered an issue with GitHub where I was unable to fetch a remote repository to merge into my local clone. Everything seemed to be configured correctly, and I am able to fetch repositories from the same user without a problem, so it seems like there is some issue with this particular repository. Although I have a support ticket open with GitHub to try and determine the root cause Keep Reading…

WordPress Settings API Hidden Field April 22 2012
This short article covers one way of creating hidden fields with the WordPress Settings API.

Import Remote Repository with EGit on Windows April 13 2012
Honestly sometimes I’m not sure why I continue to persist in using Eclipse as my editor of choice for most projects. Maybe it’s that I’ve been using it for so long now (7 years) and it’s gone the distance for me, though as with any long term relationship there are fights. Today was one of those fights, as I attempted to import a remote Git repository and create a project Keep Reading…

Configure Magento Products by URL April 07 2012
Being able to link to a configurable product page with particular product options configured is clearly a valuable feature to have in an ecommerce platform. Both to satisfy one of the primary goals of ecommerce: reducing friction in the sales process (by having a product configured and ready for purchase for a visitor), and to meet requirements of services like Google Checkout by providing unique URLs to pre-configured products, are Keep Reading…

Add a WordPress Custom Bulk Action April 05 2012
Like me you probably woke up this morning assuming that adding a new bulk action to WordPress would be as easy tracking down the correct filter or implementing the right action hook. If so, then you might have had a rude awakening when you attempted to make use of the promising-looking filter named bulk-actions-screenid and failed. Thanks to a couple of posts on the subject I was able to create Keep Reading…

Theming WooCommerce: How to Override WooCommerce Template Files March 24 2012
To override WooCommerce template files in your theme (or better yet, child theme) simply make a folder named ‘woocommerce’ within your theme directory, and then create the folders/template file you wish to override within it. Example As an example, lets override the price template for the single product page to add a notice. First we locate the template file in question at: woocommerce/templates/single-product/price.php (see the full list of templates). Next, Keep Reading…

Magento/WordPress Development and Deployment March 21 2012
First off, this post owes a debt of gratitude to Ashley Schroder and Colin Mollenhour, without whom it would not exist. The goal of this article is to describe a development environment configuration that’s ideally suited for developing and deploying version controlled plugin/extension code, that is plugged in to a much larger system codebase. This is precisely the situation when developing extensions/override code for Magento, or plugins for WordPress and Keep Reading…

Date Range Picker Similar to Google Analytics March 14 2012
I’ve always loved the calendar date range selector in Google Analytics, it’s extremely user-friendly for the task of selecting a range of dates; much more so than the typical dual input boxes with independent calendars. There are a few options out there for replicating the Google Analytics range picker, however I couldn’t seem to find any that offered the functionality, looks, and ease of use right out of the box.

WordPress Comments Feed 404 Fixed February 03 2012
I logged in to Google Webmaster Tools today and was greeted with a new crawl error, specifically a 404 Not Found for the Comments Feed url http://www.skyverge.com/comments/feed/. I requested the page and sure enough, it was indeed a 404. A quick search turned up a number of threads and discussions regarding this issue, which seems to stem from having a new site without a single comment yet. How embarrassing. Now, Keep Reading…
