hacktivism

Formed by combining "hack" with "activism," hacktivism is the act of
hacking into a Web site or computer system in order to communicate a
politically or socially motivated message. Unlike a malicious hacker,
who may disrupt a system for financial gain or out of a desire to
cause harm, the hacktivist performs the same kinds of disruptive
actions (such as a DoS attack) in order to draw attention to a cause.
For the hacktivist, it is an Internet-enabled way to practice civil
disobedience and protest.

10 WordPress Dashboard Hacks

The dashboard is a very important part of a WordPress blog. In fact,
it allows you to control your posts, your blog design, and many more
things. When building a site for a client, it is especially important
to be able to control WP’s dashboard. In this article, let’s have a
look at 10 extremely useful hacks for WordPress’ dashboard.
Remove dashboard menus

When building a WordPress blog for a client, it can be a good idea to
remove access to some dashboard menus in order to avoid future
problems such as the client “accidentally” deleting the custom theme
they paid for.
****************************************************

Paste the following code in the functions.php file from your theme
directory. The following example will remove all menus named in the
$restricted array.
01.function remove_menus () {
02.global $menu;
03.$restricted = array(__('Dashboard'), __('Posts'), __('Media'),
__('Links'), __('Pages'), __('Appearance'), __('Tools'), __('Users'),
__('Settings'), __('Comments'), __('Plugins'));
04.end ($menu);
05.while (prev($menu)){
06.$value = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
07.if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:""
,$restricted)){unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
08.}
09.}
10.add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_menus');

Define your own login logo

Although it doesn’t have any importance for the blog performance or
usability, most clients will be very happy to see their own logo on
the dashboard login page, instead of the classic WordPress logo.
The Custom admin branding plugin can do that for you, as well as the
following hack that you just have to paste in your functions.php file.
1.function my_custom_login_logo() {
2.echo '
3.h1 a { background-image:url('.get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/custom-login-logo.gif)
!important; }
4.';
5.}
6.
7.add_action('login_head', 'my_custom_login_logo');

Replace dashboard logo with yours

Just as a client will love to see their own logo on WordPress login
page, there’s no doubt that they’ll enjoy viewing it on the dashboard
too.
Simply copy the code below and paste it to your functions.php file.
1.add_action('admin_head', 'my_custom_logo');
2.
3.function my_custom_logo() {
4.echo '
5.#header-logo { background-image:
url('.get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/custom-logo.gif)
!important; }';
6.}

Disable the “please upgrade now” message

WordPress constantly release new versions. Although for obvious
security concerns you should always upgrade; disabling the “Please
upgrade now” message on client sites can be a good idea because the
client doesn’t necessarily have to know about this, this is a
developer’s job.

One more time, nothing hard: paste the code in your functions.php,
save it, and it’s all good.
1.if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) {
2.add_action( 'init', create_function( '$a', "remove_action( 'init',
'wp_version_check' );" ), 2 );
3.add_filter( 'pre_option_update_core', create_function( '$a', "return
null;") );
4.}

Remove dashboard widgets

Introduced in WordPress 2.7, dashboard widgets can be pretty useful.
For example, some can display your Google Analytics stats. Though,
sometimes you don’t need it, or at least don’t need some of them.
The code below will allow you to remove WordPress’ dashboard widgets
once you paste it in yourfunctions.php file.
01.function example_remove_dashboard_widgets() {
02.// Globalize the metaboxes array, this holds all the widgets for wp-admin
03.global $wp_meta_boxes;
04.
05.// Remove the incomming links widget
06.unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_incoming_links']);
07.
08.// Remove right now
09.unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_right_now']);
10.unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']);
11.unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_secondary']);
12.}
13.
14.// Hoook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our function
15.add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'example_remove_dashboard_widgets' );

Add custom widgets to WordPress dashboard

With the previous example, I showed you how easy it is to remove
unwanted dashboard widgets. The good news is that creating your own
widgets isn’t hard either.
The well-commented code below should be self explanatory. Just insert
it in your functions.php, as usual.
01.function example_dashboard_widget_function() {
02.// Display whatever it is you want to show
03.echo "Hello World, I'm a great Dashboard Widget";
04.}
05.
06.// Create the function use in the action hook
07.function example_add_dashboard_widgets() {
08.wp_add_dashboard_widget('example_dashboard_widget', 'Example
Dashboard Widget', 'example_dashboard_widget_function');
09.}
10.// Hoook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our other functions

well as font or even display) without having to edit WordPress core
files, you’ll like this hack for sure.

replaced by a blue one) but you can easily add as many styles as you
wish within the and tags.
1.function custom_colors() {
2.echo '#wphead{background:#069}';
3.}
4.
5.add_action('admin_head', 'custom_colors');

If you’re building a site for a client and they have some problems
with some parts of the dashboard, a good idea is to provide contextual
help to the client.
The following hack will allow you to add a custom help messages for
the blog admin. As usual, you only have to paste the code into your
functions.php file.
01.function my_admin_help($text, $screen) {
02.// Check we're only on my Settings page
03.if (strcmp($screen, MY_PAGEHOOK) == 0 ) {
04.
05.$text = 'Here is some very useful information to help you use this
plugin...';
06.return $text;
07.}
08.// Let the default WP Dashboard help stuff through on other Admin pages

display in the widget

display for each error
05.$fileCleared = false;
06.$userCanClearLog = current_user_can( 'manage_options' );
07.// Clear file?
08.if ( $userCanClearLog && isset( $_GET["slt-php-errors"] ) &&
$_GET["slt-php-errors"]=="clear" ) {
09.$handle = fopen( $logfile, "w" );
10.fclose( $handle );

    37.if ( $i > $displayErrorsLimit ) {
    38.echo '

    39.break;

the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of
history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition. Mark Twain.

one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home
from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India French scholar Romain Rolland.

BUT, if we
don't see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it
clearly means that we are not working up to our potential; and that if we do,

How to Enable Multisite in WordPress 3.0

Memories of late 70's or early 80's, but these still hold good...

Memories of late 70's or early 80's, but these still hold good...



Youngsters then love to remember but Youngsters now will laugh..




1. Though you may not publicly own to this, at the age of 12-17
years,you were very proud of your first "Bellbottom" or your first
"Maxi"or your first Apache jeans.



2. Phantom & Mandrake were your only true

heroes. The brainy ones read"Competition Success Review".



3. Your "Camlin" geometry box & Natraj/Flora pencil was your prized possession.



4. The only "Holidays" you took were to go to your grandparents' or
your cousins' houses.



5. Ice-cream meant only - either an orange stick, a vanilla stick –
ora Choco Bar if you were better off than most.



6. You gave your neighbour’s phone number to others with a ‘c/o’
written against it because you had booked yours only 7 years ago and
were still waiting for your number to come.



7. Your first family car (and the only one) was a Fiat or an
Ambassador. This often had to be pushed by the entire family to get
going.





8. The glass windows in the back seats used to get stuck at the
two-thirds down level and used to irk the shit out of you! The window
went down only if your puny arm could manage the tacky rotary handle
to pull it down. Locking the door was easy. You just whacked the other
tacky, non-rotary handle downwards.



9. Your mom had stitched the weirdest lace curtains for all the
windows of the car. They were tied in the middle and if your dad was
the comfort-oriented kinds, you had a magnificent small fan upfront.



10. Your parents were proud owners of HMT watches. You "earned" yours
after SSC exams.





11. You have been to "Jumbo Circus"; have held your breath while the
pretty young thing in the glittery skirt did acrobatics, quite enjoyed
the

elephants hitting football, the motorcyclist vrooming in the "Mautka
Gola" and it was politically okay to laugh your guts out at

dwarfs hitting each others bottoms!





12. You have atleast once heard "Hawa Mahal" on the radio.



13. If you had a TV, it was normal to expect the neighborhood to
gather around to watch the Chitrahaar or the Sunday movie. If you
didn't have a TV, you just went to a house that did. It mattered
little if you knew the owners or not.





14. Sometimes the owners of these TVs got very creative and got a bi
or even a tri-coloured anti-glare screen which they attached with two

side clips onto their Weston TVs. That confused the hell out of you!



15. Black & White TVs weren't so bad after all because cricket was
played in whites.



16. You thought your Dad rocked because you got your own (the
family's; not your own own!) colour TV when the Asian Games started.

Everyone else got the same idea as well and ever since, no one came
over to your house and you didn't go to anyone else's.



17. You dreaded the death of any political leader because of the
mourning they would announce on the TV. After all how much "Shashtriya
Sangeet" can a kid take? Salma Sultana also didn't smile during the
mourning.





18. You knew that "Indira Gandhi" was somebody really powerful and
terribly important. And that's all you needed to know.



19. The only "Gadgets" in the house were the TV, the Fridge and
possibly a mixer.



20. All the gadgets had to be duly covered with a crochet covers and
sometimes even with ingenious, custom-fit plastic covers.



21. Movies meant Rajesh Khanna or Amitabh Bachchan. Before the start
of the movie you always had to watch the obligatory "Newsreel".



22. You thought you were so rocking because you knew almost all the
songs of Abba and Boney M.





23. Your hormones went crazy when you heard "Disco Deewane" by Naziya
Hassan & Zoheb Hassan.



24. School teachers, your parents and even your neighbours could whack
you and it was all okay.



25. Photograph taking was a big thing. You were lucky if your family
owned a camera. A reel of 36 exposures was valuable hence it justified
the half hour preparation & "setting" & the "posing" for each picture.
Therefore, you have atleast one family picture where everyone is
holding their breath and standing at attention!



And we were really happy then....see what the new technology has
brought you to...no peace of mind, only pressure and stress..

My wallpaper is my inspiration

I don't go to hostel.

There is enough space on my desk.

People in my home are asleep when I am free to call them.

So …..

I get 90mins. Of lunch break.

The only time my eyes can rest.

The chairs are so cozy.

I don't need a bed.

We wake together,

We SWIPE together,

We eat together,

We study together,

Hold it ………… we don't sleep together……..

We have separate hostels!!!

My best take-away from the last 3 months.

Simple Hook Tutorial

Modifying core files is always a bad idea. It may create a security loophole. Also, you will have lost the modification when you upgrade your WordPress installation. Wordpress version releases r very fast :)

Hooks are one of the main building blocks of WordPress plug-ins. Almost every plug-in uses a hook to overwrite WordPress’ core functionality.

How to Use Hooks on Your WordPress Blog

Unless you’re writing a plug-in, you would write hooks in the functions.php file. This file is located in the wp-content/themes/yourtheme directory.

A hook, as you would expect, “hooks” one function to another. For example, you could write a custom function and attach it to one of WordPress’ core functions:

I will tell u a simple hook to understand the process:

Let whenever a post is done a mail alert should be sent to a mail:

first we need to name our function let it be mailalert
function mailalert()
{
mail('tamojyoti.bose@gmail.com','You got a post', 'Hello I am from ur blog we received a new post ');
}
add_action('publish_post','mailalert');

now what this thing did :
we all come across simple mail fn of php which i used to just drop a mail to me when a post is done.

add action is just hooking up core function publish_post with my one just created

Please comment:) This is my first writing so please pardon me if i m wrong

Browser Sandbox

Cross browser compatibility is definitely one of the biggest problems a web developer has to face in his daily job. The browser sandbox lets you run any Windows browser from the web. The only bad thing is that you must run a Windows machine: The app does not work on Macs and GNU/Linux.

Visit site: http://spoon.net/browsers

PHP Forms

Web forms are one of the most important part of a website, but creating them is also very time-consuming. So, what about using a website that can speed up your form development for free?
PHP forms allows you to create advanced forms that can fit the needs of most websites.

Visit site: http://www.phpform.org

.htaccess editor

A .htaccess file is a must have for any website. Don't know how to write one? No problem, just visit this site to create your .htaccess file using a wizard. It doesn't allow very advanced stuff, but the results are great for 95% of the websites you'll make.

How to execute SQL queries

How to execute SQL queries

For those who don't know yet, SQL queries have to be executed within the MySQL command line interpreter or a web interface such as the popular PhpMyAdmin. Since we're going to work on WordPress, you should note that the SQL Executionner plugin provides an easy-to-use interface that allows you to run SQL queries directly on your WordPress blog dashboard.

Although all the queries from this article have been tested, don't forget that you shouldn't test any of those on a production blog. Also, make sure that you always have a working database backup.

Manually change your password

It may sound like the thing that only happens to others but forgetting a password can happen to any of us. In case you lost your blog admin password, the only solution is to create a new one directly in your MySQL database.
The following query will do it. Notice that we use the MD5() MySQL function to turn our password into an MD5 hash.

1.UPDATE 'wp_users' SET 'user_pass' = MD5('PASSWORD') WHERE 'user_login' ='admin' LIMIT 1;

Source : http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-manually-reset-your-wordpress-password

Transfer posts from one user to another

Most WordPress newcomers tend to use the good old "admin" account instead of creating an account with their real name. If you made that mistake and created another account later, you can easily transfer your old "admin" posts to your new account with the SQL query below.
You'll need the user id of both your old and new accounts.

1.UPDATE wp_posts SET post_author=NEW_AUTHOR_ID WHERE post_author=OLD_AUTHOR_ID;

Source : http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-change-author-attribution-on-all-posts-at-once

Delete post revisions and meta associated to those revisions

Post revisions are very useful, especially in the case of a multi author blog. However, the problem of post revisions is definitely the number of database records it creates. For exemple, if your blog has 100 posts, which has 10 revisions each, you'll end up with 1000 records in the wp_posts tables, while only 100 of them are necessary.
Executing this query will delete all post revisions as well as all meta info (custom fields, etc) associated to it. The whole process will result in a consequent gain of database space.

1.DELETE a,b,c FROM wp_posts a WHERE a.post_type = 'revision' LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id) LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id);

Source : http://www.onextrapixel.com/2010/01/30/13-useful-wordpress-sql-queries-you-wish-you-knew-earlier/

Batch delete spam comments

Imagine that you're coming back from holidays, where you haven't had any access to the Internet. If you haven't installed Akismet and depending on your blog popularity, you may end up with 1000, 2000 or even 10,000 comments to moderate.
You can spend a whole day to moderate the lot, or you can use this life-saving query to delete all unapproved comments. And for your next holidays, don't forget to install Akismet!

1.DELETE from wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = '0';

Source : http://www.wprecipes.com/mark-asked-how-to-batch-deleting-spam-comments-on-a-wordpress-blog

Find unused tags

Tags are recorded on the wp_terms table. If for some reason a tag has been created but is not used anymore, it stays in the table. This query will let you know which tags are on the wp_terms table without being used anywhere on your blog. You can delete those safely.

1.SELECT * From wp_terms wt INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy wtt ON wt.term_id=wtt.term_id WHERE wtt.taxonomy='post_tag' AND wtt.count=0;

Source : http://www.onextrapixel.com/2010/01/30/13-useful-wordpress-sql-queries-you-wish-you-knew-earlier/

Find and replace data

This tip isn't specific to WordPress and is a must know for anyone who's working with MySQL databases. The MySQL function replace() lets you specify a field name, a string to find, and a replacement string. Once the query is executed, all occurrences of the string to replace will be replaced by the replacement string.
In case of a WordPress blog, this can be useful to batch replace a typo (For example people who repeatedly call the software Wordpress…) or an email address.

1.UPDATE table_name SET field_name = replace( field_name, 'string_to_find', 'string_to_replace' ) ;

Source : http://perishablepress.com/press/2007/07/25/mysql-magic-find-and-replace-data/

Get a list of your commentators emails

Have you ever received unsolicited emails from blogs you previously commented? I'm sure you did, just like me. The fact is that getting a list of emails from your commentators is extremely easy using the following query. The DISTINCT parameter will make sure that we'll only get each email once, even if the user commented more than once.
Please note that this is only a proof of concept: Don't send your users unwanted emails.

1.SELECT DISTINCT comment_author_email FROM wp_comments;

Source : http://www.onextrapixel.com/2010/01/30/13-useful-wordpress-sql-queries-you-wish-you-knew-earlier/

Disable all your plugins at once

When things go wrong, especially on a production site, you have to be quick. Considering the fact that plugins are often the source of problems, disabling all your plugins in a second can prevent lots of problems.
Just run the following query:

1.UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = '' WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins';

Source : http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-disable-all-your-plugins-in-a-second

Delete all tags

In WordPress, tags are recorded in the wp_terms tables, along with categories and taxonomies. If you wish to remove all tags, you can't simply empty or delete the wp_terms as you'll destroy categories at the same time!
If you want to get rid of your tags, run this query. It will remove all tags and relationships between tags and posts, while leaving categories and taxonomies intact.

01.DELETE a,b,c
02.FROM
03.    database.prefix_terms AS a
04.    LEFT JOIN database.prefix_term_taxonomy AS c ON a.term_id = c.term_id
05.    LEFT JOIN database.prefix_term_relationships AS b ON b.term_taxonomy_id = c.term_taxonomy_id
06.WHERE (
07.    c.taxonomy = 'post_tag' AND
08.    c.count = 0
09.    );

Source : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/311665

List unused post meta

Post meta is created by plugins and custom fields. They are extremely useful, but they can quickly make your database grow in size. The following query will show you all the records in the postmeta table that doesn't have corresponding records in the post table.

1.SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta pm LEFT JOIN wp_posts wp ON wp.ID = pm.post_id WHERE wp.ID IS NULL;

Source : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/337412

Disable comments on older posts

Everyone who has been in blogging for more than one year will know: Even after some months, your old posts still receive interest from the public and lots of comments, mostly because they are indexed by search engines. This is a good thing of course, but the problem is for people like me who own technical blogs and have to answer lots of questions related to their old (and sometimes obsolete) posts.
The solution to this problem is to automatically close comments on posts which are too old. This SQL query will close comments on all posts published before January 1, 2009.

1.UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = 'closed' WHERE post_date < '2009-01-01' AND post_status = 'publish';

Source : http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/02/20/wordpress-discussion-management-enable-or-disable-comments-and-pingbacks-via-sql/

Replace commentator url

Previously in this article, I talked about the very useful replace() MySQL function. Here is a good example of how useful it is : Let's say you previously own a site and used its url in your comments to generate backlinks to this site.
If you sell the site, you can easily replace the old url by your new site url. Simply run this query and you'll be done!

1.UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_author_url = REPLACE( comment_author_url, 'http://oldurl.com', 'http://newurl.com' );

Source : http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/07/14/wordpress-link-author-comments-home-page/

Replace commentator email adress

Another good example of the replace() function. This query will replace the email adress provided in the comments field, by a new one.

1.UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_author_email = REPLACE( comment_author_email, 'old-email@address.com', 'new-email@address.com' );

Source : http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/05/18/wordpress-tip-update-email-address-in-the-wordpress-database

Delete all comments with a specific url

Lately, I've noticied that some clever spammers left some quite relevant comments, but with a link pointing to a viagra site. Unfortunely, when I noticied it the commentator already left lots of comments. The following query will delete all comments with a specific url. The "%" signs means that any url containing the string within the % signs will be deleted.

1.DELETE from wp_comments WHERE comment_author_url LIKE "%wpbeginner%" ;

Source : http://perishablepress.com/press/2007/07/25/mysql-magic-find-and-replace-data/
