Step 1:

Lets get the page number from the url query string. If we don’t find anything, we’ll set the page number to 1.

$pagenum = isset( $_GET['pagenum'] ) ? absint( $_GET['pagenum'] ) : 1;

Step 2:

Now we need to set per page entry limit and the page offset. We will use the limit and offset to get data from our MySQL query. If you are confused about the offset, may be you’ve seen it on PHPMyAdmin like this: "SELECT * FROM `table_name` LIMIT 0, 10". Here, we are getting the first 10 entries from our database. If we want get the next 10 entries, our limit will be "LIMIT 10, 10". So the first digit for the limit is the offset. It tells us from where we’ll get our next entries.

$limit = 10;
$offset = ( $pagenum - 1 ) * $limit;

So, by this two lines we are setting the limit and our offset dynamically.

Step 3:

Now we need to get the entries from our database table with the help of our limit and offset variable and need to show them as you like, may be in a table.

$entries = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->prefix}table_name LIMIT $offset, $limit" );

So, now if you change the url “pagenum” paramater from your browser, you can see that we are getting the entries by our page number. So it’s like we have completed our pagination system

Step 4:

As we have completed the pagination system working, we just need to show the pagination links now and we’ll be done. WordPress gives us a nice function "paginate_links" to generate a cool pagination navigation link.
At first, we need to get the count of total number of entries in our table and calculate how many pages will need to show the whole entries.

$total = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM {$wpdb->prefix}table_name" );
$num_of_pages = ceil( $total / $limit );

Now, we can use that nifty function paginate_links to generate our pagination links.

$page_links = paginate_links( array(
	'base' => add_query_arg( 'pagenum', '%#%' ),
	'format' => '',
	'prev_text' => __( '«', 'aag' ),
	'next_text' => __( '»', 'aag' ),
	'total' => $total,
	'current' => $pagenum
) );

if ( $page_links ) {
	echo '<div class="tablenav"><div class="tablenav-pages" style="margin: 1em 0">' . $page_links . '</div></div>';
}

So, we are passing our current page number and total number of pages to that function and we are getting a nice and cool pagination system.

Here’s a sample code for generating a table with data from your posts table.

<?php
global $wpdb;

$pagenum = isset( $_GET['pagenum'] ) ? absint( $_GET['pagenum'] ) : 1;
$limit = 5;
$offset = ( $pagenum - 1 ) * $limit;
$entries = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->prefix}posts LIMIT $offset, $limit" );

echo '<div class="wrap">';

?>
<table class="widefat">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th scope="col" class="manage-column column-name" style="">Post Title</th>
			<th scope="col" class="manage-column column-name" style="">Date</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>

	<tfoot>
		<tr>
			<th scope="col" class="manage-column column-name" style="">Post Title</th>
			<th scope="col" class="manage-column column-name" style="">Date</th>
		</tr>
	</tfoot>

	<tbody>
		<?php if( $entries ) { ?>

			<?php
			$count = 1;
			$class = '';
			foreach( $entries as $entry ) {
				$class = ( $count % 2 == 0 ) ? ' class="alternate"' : '';
			?>

			<tr<?php echo $class; ?>>
				<td><?php echo $entry->post_title; ?></td>
				<td><?php echo $entry->post_date; ?></td>
			</tr>

			<?php
				$count++;
			}
			?>

		<?php } else { ?>
		<tr>
			<td colspan="2">No posts yet</td>
		</tr>
		<?php } ?>
	</tbody>
</table>

<?

$total = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM {$wpdb->prefix}posts" );
$num_of_pages = ceil( $total / $limit );
$page_links = paginate_links( array(
	'base' => add_query_arg( 'pagenum', '%#%' ),
	'format' => '',
	'prev_text' => __( '&laquo;', 'aag' ),
	'next_text' => __( '&raquo;', 'aag' ),
	'total' => $num_of_pages,
	'current' => $pagenum
) );

if ( $page_links ) {
	echo '<div class="tablenav"><div class="tablenav-pages" style="margin: 1em 0">' . $page_links . '</div></div>';
}

echo '</div>';

Output:

Lets say, you are making a theme or a WordPress plugin and you want to show something in the admin panel like this:

We will see how can you add those columns to the admin panel tables and manipulate data on the table rows. Well, this is very easy to do, because WP has a really nice API to work with.

Now we will add those two columns to our admin panel’s post listing table. Here is the code:

<?php
function test_modify_post_table( $column ) {
    $column['test_budget'] = 'Budget';
    $column['test_expires'] = 'Expires';

    return $column;
}
add_filter( 'manage_posts_columns', 'test_modify_post_table' );

We are adding a filter on "manage_posts_columns". It passes the column names of the post table as an array. We simple add our custom columns with a key-value pair in that array and return it. If you run this code, you can see how easy that was.

Now we have the columns, we need to fill those columns with actual data. We’ll use post custom fields to fill those space. Lets look at the code:

<?php
function test_modify_post_table_row( $column_name, $post_id ) {

    $custom_fields = get_post_custom( $post_id );

    switch ($column_name) {
        case 'test_budget' :
			echo $custom_fields['cf_budget'][0] . ' USD';
            break;

        case 'test_expires' :
			echo $custom_fields['cf_expires'][0] . ' days';
            break;

        default:
    }
}

add_filter( 'manage_posts_custom_column', 'test_modify_post_table_row', 10, 2 );

We are adding another filter at "manage_posts_custom_column" with having two arguments. One is the column name and another is the post id. Then we are grabbing all the custom fields of the post and showing them according to the column name. The code is self explanatory. These columns will be visible to all of your "Post Type" listings.

For Custom Post Type:

If you have another "Custom Post Type", lets say "Tutorials", those columns will also be shown there. So, if you want to add those columns only to the Post’s table, not in other custom post types, you should add a checking option there. And if you only want to show those columns to a specific Custom Post Type, there is another hack. You need to change the first filter to something like this "manage_edit-POST_TYPE_columns". Replace the "POST_TYPE" with your custom post type. e.g: “manage_edit-portfolio_columns” for “portfolio” type posts.

For Pages:

For pages, those filter will be "manage_pages_columns" and “manage_pages_custom_column“. Simple enough.

User List table?

What if you want to change the user list table? It’s the same process as previous. We can add our custom columns like we did before. But the first filter name will be changed to codemanage_users_columnscode. Here there is a slight change in the second filter. We passed two parameter for the posts, but here we will pass THREE paramater. Here is the sample code to add a column "URL" to show their website addresses:

<?php
function test_modify_user_table( $column ) {
    $column['url'] = 'URL';

    return $column;
}

add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'test_modify_user_table' );

function test_modify_user_table_row( $val, $column_name, $user_id ) {
    $user = get_userdata( $user_id );

    switch ($column_name) {
        case 'url' :
            return $user->user_url;
            break;

        default:
    }

    return $return;
}

add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'test_modify_user_table_row', 10, 3 );

Project is now in Github

The WP User Frontend plugin is now hosted in Github repository. You can always find the newest fix and updates from the Github page. You can also contribute to this project if have some cool idea and will be very helpful for me too.

Here is your function that will convert the digit

/**
 * This function converts all english number's to bangla number
 */
function make_bangla_number($str)
{
	$engNumber = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);
	$bangNumber = array('১','২','৩','৪','৫','৬','৭','৮','৯','০');
	$converted = str_replace($engNumber, $bangNumber, $str);

	return $converted;
}

Now we need to add some filters that will hook to this places and convert the digit’s to Bangla.

add_filter( 'get_the_time', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'the_date', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'get_the_date', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'comments_number', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'get_comment_date', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'get_comment_time', 'make_bangla_number' );

If it’s not enough for you, go to the filter’s page of the codex, and apply this filters as you need.

So, here’s the complete code

/**
 * This function converts all english number's to bangla number
 */
function make_bangla_number($str)
{
	$engNumber = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);
	$bangNumber = array('১','২','৩','৪','৫','৬','৭','৮','৯','০');
	$converted = str_replace($engNumber, $bangNumber, $str);

	return $converted;
}

add_filter( 'get_the_time', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'the_date', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'get_the_date', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'comments_number', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'get_comment_date', 'make_bangla_number' );
add_filter( 'get_comment_time', 'make_bangla_number' );

Save the code in the functions.php file in your theme folder. Hope that solves your problem with localization

add_filter( 'the_date', 'make_bangla_number' );

So i don’t need to describe what to do after installing the plugin, right? It’ll show the selected links to your sidebar like this:

So why don’t you add this plugin to your blog and make some money?

Google offers an automatic transliteration option that converts Roman characters to the characters used in Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. This feature lets you type these languages phonetically in English letters, but they’ll appear in their correct alphabet. Keep in mind that transliteration is different from translation; the sound of the words is converted from one alphabet to the other, not the meaning.

What I did?
I did a integration of Google Transliterate with WordPress & punBB. My plugin allows you to write phonetically with the help of Google Transliteration in the WordPress post editor and also in punBB post box. This will not work in rich text editor mode in wordpress, you need to switch on HTML mode.

How does it work?
The bellow images tells you everything

• You can select your desired language from the list



• After Selecting the language, active the google transliteration option by clicking the text.



• Type the words phonetically. Once you type a space or a punctuation mark, the letters will be converted to corresponding language characters, like this:



• If you need to correct a transliterated word, click the word; you’ll see a menu of alternate spellings, in addition to an option to switch back to the Roman characters you typed. If you type the same word again, it will then be transliterated correctly based on your saved preference.

I named it, sorry that name was also given by Lenin vai, ha ha ha. It’s name is “Custom Content Gallery”. It’s work is simple, it will just show some latest title and description from some chosen category. You just need to insert the shortcode/keyword

[custom_gallery cat="1, 2, 3"]

. Here “1, 2, 3” is the category ID. So that post/page will show the latest 5 posts from each category. That was a very simple plugin and yeah, it’s size is under 1024 bytes
