Increase maximum upload size for wordpress

Posted on January 15, 2013 by admin — No Comments ↓

Solution #1: Add this code to your functions.php

This method will set the values for your php.ini settings to whatever you set below. Remember you must change max_execution_time as well or the script will time out with big files.

@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' ); 
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M'); 
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );

@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );

@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');

@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );

Solution #2: Edit your .htaccess file

You can also edit your .htaccess file to acheive the above.

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M php_value post_max_size 64M php_value max_execution_time 300 php_value max_input_time 300

1
2
3
4

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

Solution #3: Create or Edit an existing PHP.INI file

Some hosts make you create a custom php.ini file like godaddy hosting, if you need to do this then create a file called php.ini and put the following in the file. Upload to the root directory of your wordpress installation. Or if you have total control of your php.ini file just change the following values.

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300

upload_max_filesize = 64M

post_max_size = 64M

max_execution_time = 300

WordPress get user dropdown by role

Posted on July 17, 2012 by admin — 1 Comment ↓

We needed a function to get a user selectbox by the user role. Instead of using the native wordpress function wp_dropdown_users() to get a list of all users we decided to create our own.

This function allows you to easily create a dropdown based on the user role.

function getUsersByRole($role,$name,$selected = '',$extra = '') {
global $wpdb;

	  $wp_user_search = new WP_User_Query(array("role"=> $role));
   	  $role_data = $wp_user_search->get_results();
		 foreach($role_data  as $item){
			 $role_data_ids[] = $item->ID;
		 }

	  $ids = implode(',', $role_data_ids);
	  $r = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT *   from ".$wpdb->prefix . "users where id IN(".$ids .")", ARRAY_A);

	  $content .='<select name="'.$name.'" id="'.$name.'" '.$extra.'>';

	  if($selected == ''){
			$content .='<option value="" selected="selected">Choose a user</option>';
		}else{
				$r_user = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT *   from ".$wpdb->prefix . "users where ID = ".$selected."", ARRAY_A);
				$content .='<option value="'.$selected.'" selected="selected">'.stripslashes($r_user[0]['display_name']).'</option>';
		}

	  for($i=0; $i<count($r); $i++){		  	
	  $content .='<option value="'.$r[$i]['ID'].'">'.stripslashes($r[$i]['display_name']).'</option>';
	  }
	  $content .='</select>';

	  return $content;
}

function getUsersByRole($role,$name,$selected = '',$extra = '') {

global $wpdb;

$wp_user_search = new WP_User_Query(array("role"=> $role));

$role_data = $wp_user_search->get_results();

foreach($role_data as $item){

$role_data_ids[] = $item->ID;

}

$ids = implode(',', $role_data_ids);

$r = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * from ".$wpdb->prefix . "users where id IN(".$ids .")", ARRAY_A);

$content .='<select name="'.$name.'" id="'.$name.'" '.$extra.'>';

if($selected == ''){

$content .='<option value="" selected="selected">Choose a user</option>';

}else{

$r_user = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * from ".$wpdb->prefix . "users where ID = ".$selected."", ARRAY_A);

$content .='<option value="'.$selected.'" selected="selected">'.stripslashes($r_user[0]['display_name']).'</option>';

}

for($i=0; $i<count($r); $i++){

$content .='<option value="'.$r[$i]['ID'].'">'.stripslashes($r[$i]['display_name']).'</option>';

}

$content .='</select>';

return $content;

}

Now to use this function in your plugin do the following:

// the first field is the user role
// the second field is the name and id attributes for the selectbox
//the third field is optional and will allow you to set a selected state
// the fourth field optional is any special attributes you want to add into the select for instance an on change

echo getUsersByRole('subscriber','user_id', $r[0]['user_id'],'onchange="dosomething()"');

// or just use which will not set a default selected user or any extra attributes
echo getUsersByRole('subscriber','user_id');

// the first field is the user role

// the second field is the name and id attributes for the selectbox

//the third field is optional and will allow you to set a selected state

// the fourth field optional is any special attributes you want to add into the select for instance an on change

echo getUsersByRole('subscriber','user_id', $r[0]['user_id'],'onchange="dosomething()"');

// or just use which will not set a default selected user or any extra attributes

echo getUsersByRole('subscriber','user_id');

If you have any questions please ask, this also works with the role editor plugin. (great for custom roles!)

How to Translate Client Document Manager or any WordPress Plugin

Posted on May 1, 2012 by admin — No Comments ↓

Smarty Client Document Manager now includes a localization system so you can translate the plugin to your own language using .po files. PO files use gettext function and it is the way that WordPress handles all localization. I will explain a little bit below on how to translate our .po files. This tutorial will also serve as a way to translate any WordPress plugin to your own language!

Contact us to find out how you can get the premium version of client document manager for FREE by translating this plugin in your language

First you want to open the smarty plugin directory and find the folder /languages/
Next you want to download and install PoEdit which is a 3rd party program you will use edit the .po file. Download PoEdit by clicking here.
Once PoEdit is installed double click on the default.po file and it should open up in PoEdit.
Now that the po file is open you want to go to File>Save as. The filename is very important, for this plugin you want to start the file with “sp-cdm” and end it with your locale code which can find here. For instance if i were creating a spanish language file I would name the file “sp-cdm-es_ES.po” . Click save and PoEdit will generate two files. a “.po” which is your translation file and a “.mo” which is for WordPress. Your files should look like this:
Now that you have created your file you can go through and edit your .po file and translate it! To translate a term just click on the term in top section, you will see the actual term in the middle section and you write your translated term in the bottom section. I filled out the first one below.
Go through each term and translate untill finished. Once complete go to File >Save and you are done!
The rest is done straight through WordPress wp-config.php file but if your translating this plugin then you know how to do this. Those that do not, just open your wp-config.php and change the
define(‘WPLANG’, ”); To your locale code. For Spanish your WPLANG would look like this:

Your Done! We are also running a special, contact us and if we do not have your language we will give you the premium version FREE if you translate the plugin for us! Contact us for more information

Smart javascript use when developing a WordPress plugin.

Posted on April 19, 2012 by admin — 3 Comments ↓

Recently after looking at some of the plugin’s available I noticed some people including their own version of jquery or prototype. This is not how the plugin API was intended. WordPress comes with a bunch of useful scripts you can use without having to include in your plugin directly. The function is called wp_enqueue_script(). Here is the usage.

<?php

wp_enqueue_script(
     $handle
    ,$src
    ,$deps
    ,$ver
    ,$in_footer
);

?>

<?php

wp_enqueue_script(

$handle

,$src

,$deps

,$ver

,$in_footer

);

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

So to include a copy of JQuery into your plugin all you have to do is add the following to your plugin.

<?php
	wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
?>

<?php

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

This tells WordPress to include jquery and will only include it if it hasn’t been included already which leads to a lower code footprint and better compatibility!

Of course your going to want to include that into wp_head. Here is the full code including the wp_head hook.

<?php
//function. Notice !is_admin this tells it to only include if its not admin
function sp_client_upload_init() {

       if (!is_admin()) {
	wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
        }
}
//hook to insert javascript into header
add_action('wp_head', 'sp_client_upload_load_css');	

?>

<?php

//function. Notice !is_admin this tells it to only include if its not admin

function sp_client_upload_init() {

if (!is_admin()) {

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

}

//hook to insert javascript into header

add_action('wp_head', 'sp_client_upload_load_css');
