asterisk My Page Order WordPress Plugin Modifcation

I have been working with a client recently that was using the My Page Order plugin for the WordPress CMS I set up. They had several "draft" pages they used for templates and did not want them to show up in the My Page Order Admin interface. After looking at the SQL code, I added in a piece that would only show published (live) pages.
To make the same change in your code, open up the plugin file (mypageorder.php), go to line 47 and change the following line:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
$results=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = $parentID and post_type = 'page' ORDER BY menu_order ASC");

to:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
$results=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = $parentID and post_type = 'page' and post_status='publish' ORDER BY menu_order ASC");

Now, only the pages you really want to order will appear in the menu.

  • Customization of existing WordPress theme
  • WordPress Widgets
  • Third Party Plugin integration
  • Custom PHP programming

technologies used:

XHTML, CSS, WordPress, PHP

user interface:

This web site was based on an existing WordPress theme. I made changes according to my client as well as created a CMS infrastructure using WordPress.

lessons learned:

I learned that it is sometimes easier to write a theme from scratch than to work behind someone else, but I had never used so many columns in a theme and it was neat to use WordPress widgets for all the sidebars.

random thoughts:

Using WordPress widgets is another great way to empower users. By simply dragging and dropping content in the Sidebar Widget admin interface, users can arrange, add, and remove content to their sidebars with ease.
