| Theme, WordPress | 1 Comment

Smarty - A Dynamic WordPress theme

I was busy last month trying to create a new WordPress theme. I named it smarty, as it’s a theme with very clean and minimalistic design.

It’s a clean theme with some awesome features. The most good part of this theme is it comes with a lots of color skin, to be more exact, it’s 336 color skin :D . The theme is built on top of Bootstrap (v2.2.1) from twitter. It has a simple to use admin panel, built on top of options framework plugin. You can easily customize the fonts for every aspect of the theme, you have the ability to choose your own color combination for the site.  Any type of website – corporate, portfolio, blog, etc. with can be built with smarty. It looks very good with every size of devices. The theme is well coded and made with care, give it a shot, take it to the next level :D

Log WordPress outgoing mails for debugging

| PHP, WordPress | 1 Comment

May be you are working in a server or in local machine, you may have situations where you want to track if mail is sending as you want. I find it very useful in my local server, because I don’t have any MTP installed in my local machine. So I use this following method to track the outgoing mails.

Utility function for logging:

/**
 * Logs error to file
 * 
 * @uses `error_log` function to log on file
 * 
 * @param string $error message of the error
 * @param string $type type of the error message
 */
function log_error( $error, $type = 'error' ) {
    $path = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/log.txt';
    $msg = sprintf( "[%s][%s] %s\n", date( 'd.m.Y h:i:s' ), $type, $error );
    error_log( $msg, 3, $path );
}

This function is a helper function that takes any data as input and log the data/error in a text file “log.txt” in the current directory.

Main logger function:

/**
 * Log the mail to text file
 * 
 * @uses `wp_mail` filter
 * @param array $mail
 */
function wedevs_mail_log( $mail ) {

    $message = "to: {$mail['to']} \nsub: {$mail['subject']}, \nmsg:{$mail['message']}";
    log_error( 'mail', $message );

    return $mail;
}

add_filter( 'wp_mail', 'wedevs_mail_log', 10 );

This function adds a filter in the `wp_mail` filter and logs the mail through our logging utility function in the log.txt file. Quite handy, isn’t it?

Translate or convert WordPress date/time/comment number to Bangla digit

| PHP, WordPress | 57 Comments

Today I worked with a WordPress site Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance, which is a complete Bangla language based site. You can translate with the Bangla language pack, but you can’t convert the English digits to it’s corresponding Bangla digit. So I visited the WordPress codex and found some filters that can do that job very easily.

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' );

Google Transliteration plugin for WordPress & punBB

| My Works, PHP, Plugin, punBB, WordPress | 15 Comments

What is Google Transliterate?

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

    • transliterate

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

    • transliterate1

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

    • transliterate2transliterate3

  • 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. transliterate4
