Upload your files over FTP to some dedicated location, like wp-content/flashbook/ or wp-content/uploads/flashbook/, and manually include the markup in your page. Presumably, the Flash only runs on one page so this shouldn’t be too cumbersome. Actually embedding Flash isn’t as simple as linking to it, but there is plenty of information on the web. This … Read more
A child theme is definitely the way to go for the reason you outlined: upgradability. To start with, here is the documentation for creating child themes: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes You’ll want to create the child theme directory and edit the style.css file as described in the Child Theme documentation link above. After that, simply copy the header.php … Read more
Create a widget without an input filter and add your banner code to it. And welcome to WordPress Stack Exchange! 🙂
When you’re referring to using oEmbed codes, I’m assuming that you’re referring to WordPress’ ability to take a URL to media (such as one from YouTube) and automatically embed that into a post. If that’s the case, then you can take advantage of the embed_oembed_html hook that WordPress provides. Here’s how you can do it … Read more
this is a simple function that will add an item to the cart. you could tie this to an ajax call and pass whatever POST vars you want, obviously product id, quantity, etc.. function my_add_to_cart(){ global $wpsc_cart; $product_id = 1; $args = array(); $args[‘quantity’] = 1; $args[‘variation_values’] = null; $args[‘provided_price’] = null; $args[‘comment’] = null; … Read more
When dealing with WordPress and Flash, we have to use always absolute URLs. When embedding, when referencing inside the ActionScript, in XML files and when dealing with Remoting. This way is hassle free. I put my SWFs inside wp-content/swf/ and use the URL http://example.com/wp-content/swf/my-flash.swf. There’s nothing virtual about this, it has to be real.
I would recommend that you have your theme require the wordpress.org version of the wpaudioplayer plugin. There is a great article about having themes check for and require plugins. As is well-argued on this WPSE answer, it’s not a great idea to take code from a plugin and include it in your theme because you … Read more
Indeed, the “Insert video” action does not do much beyond creating a link. WordPress does not contain a generic player that can play any video hosted anywhere on the internet, but it does support something better: embedding via oEmbed. This means you can put the URL of the video page in your content, and it … Read more
Google Chart API Free service, that generates chart images (hosted and served by Google) from data in URL requests. If you need something very specific and of fixed parameters it is easy to hardcode most of it and get away without any library (and licensing issues) at all. Disadvantages: not suitable for sensitive data (passed … Read more
70-80MB is really not that large. Easily handled by the Flash uploader if your server is properly configured. Hell, I have a 2 gigabyte upload limit on my site. 🙂 When they’re writing the new “post”, they just click the add media button above the toolbar and upload it. It gets saved as an attachment … Read more
