<?php
// template switch between Blog and Portfolio category
$aOptions = YourThemeInitClass::initOptions( false ); // load theme options
$blog_ID = (int)$aOptions[ 'blog-id' ];
$portfolio_ID = (int)$aOptions[ 'portfolio-id' ];

// get the current category
$categ_object = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ), false );

// who's our ancestor, blog or portfolio?
if( (int)$categ_object->category_parent > 0 ) {
	if( cat_is_ancestor_of( $blog_ID, (int)$categ_object->cat_ID ) ) include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/category_blog.php' );
	else if( cat_is_ancestor_of( $portfolio_ID, (int)$categ_object->cat_ID ) ) include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/category_portfolio.php' );
} else {
	if( (int)$categ_object->cat_ID == $blog_ID ) include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/category_blog.php' );
	else if( (int)$categ_object->cat_ID == $portfolio_ID ) include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/category_portfolio.php' );
}
?>

I guess you’ve got the point so far. cat_is_ancestor_of() is supposed to check whether current category belongs to blog or portfolio part. Current category children are also treated in that manner, no matter the level of depth.
You can simply paste the above code into “category.php”. Be sure to provide proper category IDs either by hard-coding them or via theme functions/options page.

What about single view switch?

Believe it or not, it’s even simpler. Due to the fact WordPress is about to render “single.php” (aka Post details) we already have all required info. Each of your Posts MUST belong to a certain category, otherwise it just can’t exist in the system.

<?php
// template switch between Blog and Portfolio category
$aOptions = YourThemeInitClass::initOptions( false ); // load theme options
$blog_ID = (int)$aOptions[ 'blog-id' ];
$portfolio_ID = (int)$aOptions[ 'portfolio-id' ];

// our post belongs to this category...
$categ_object = get_the_category();

// who's our ancestor, blog or portfolio?
if( cat_is_ancestor_of( $blog_ID, (int)$categ_object[ 0 ]->cat_ID ) ) include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_blog.php' );
else if( cat_is_ancestor_of( $portfolio_ID, (int)$categ_object[ 0 ]->cat_ID ) ) include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_portfolio.php' );
?>

Paste the above code into “single.php” template file and be sure to provide proper category IDs (in our case $blog_ID and $portfolio_ID). It’s quite clear that in case you wanna have more different layouts – more conditional statements have to be used.

<?php
global $post;
$all_pages = get_pages(); // retrieve all pages
$children = (array)get_page_children( $post->ID, $all_pages ); // $post->ID is supposed to be Page ID, WP treats both equally
// var_dump( $children ); // it'll dump either an empty or array of pages
?>

Any practical example?

We can use it in order to improve “wp_list_pages()” function! For example, let’s say you want to list all the pages as navigation links in sidebar. By using “wp_list_pages()” you can’t make exceptions, you can either make the list of:

• all root pages only
• root pages and belonging sub-pages hierarchically (in nested lists)
• a list of current page children

But what you can’t do is to display only children of a current page while other in nested lists remain hidden. Here’s how WordPress does render stuff hierarchically:
Menu item 1
|- Subitem 1 of menu item 1
|- Subitem 2 of menu item 1
|- Subitem 3 of menu item 1
  |– Subitem 1 of Subitem 3 of menu item 1
  |– Subitem 2 of Subitem 3 of menu item 1
Menu item 2
|- Subitem 1 of menu item 2
|- Subitem 2 of menu item 2
Menu item 3
|- Subitem 1 of menu item 3
|- Subitem 2 of menu item 3
  |– Subitem 1 of Subitem 2 of menu item 3
  |– Subitem 2 of Subitem 2 of menu item 3

…and here’s what we actually want to see in sidebar while reading the page called “Menu item 1″:

Menu item 1
|- Subitem 1 of menu item 1
|- Subitem 2 of menu item 1
|- Subitem 3 of menu item 1
Menu item 2
Menu item 3

What we need now is to intercept default hierarchical menu rendering and inject our own solution/code. Of course, we have to modify ‘wp_list_pages_exclude_these’ function a little bit in order to achieve desired pages menu structure.

<?php
function only_current_page_children() {
	$exclude_these = array();
	$all_published_pages = get_pages();
	$all_children = get_page_children( true, $all_published_pages );

	foreach( $all_children as $child ) {
		array_push( $exclude_these, $child->ID );
	}

	if( !is_page() ) return $exclude_these;

	global $post;
	$my_parenthood = $post->ancestors;
	$my_own_children = get_page_children( $post->ID, $all_published_pages );

	foreach( $my_parenthood as $ancestor ) {
		$my_own_children = array_merge( $my_own_children, get_page_children( $ancestor, $all_published_pages ) );
	}

	foreach ( $my_own_children as $child ) {
		array_push( $my_parenthood, $child->ID );
	}

	return array_diff( $exclude_these, $my_parenthood );
}
// override default 'wp_list_pages_exclude_these'
add_filter( 'wp_list_pages_exclude_these', 'only_current_page_children' );
?>

Where to paste the above code?

If your WP theme doesn’t contain “functions.php” file – create one and simply paste. Otherwise use existing “functions.php”.

So how about to simply trim the_content() to desired number of words, keep all of HTML tags and no need for More tag insertion at all?

Here’s the function I use for all of my themes and it works perfectly…

<?php
function trim_the_content( $the_contents = '', $read_more_tag = '...READ MORE', $perma_link_to = '', $all_words = 45 ) {
	// make the list of allowed tags
	$allowed_tags = array( 'a', 'abbr', 'b', 'blockquote', 'b', 'cite', 'code', 'div', 'em', 'fon', 'h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6', 'hr', 'i', 'img', 'label', 'i', 'p', 'pre', 'span', 'strong', 'title', 'ul', 'ol', 'li', 'object', 'embed', 'param' );
	if( $the_contents != '' && $all_words > 0 ) {
		// process allowed tags
		$allowed_tags = '<' . implode( '><', $allowed_tags ) . '>';
		$the_contents = str_replace( ' ]]>', ' ]]>', $the_contents );
		$the_contents = strip_tags( $the_contents, $allowed_tags );
		// exclude HTML from counting words
		if( $all_words > count( preg_split( '/[\s]+/', strip_tags( $the_contents ), -1 ) ) ) return $the_contents;
		// count all
		$all_chunks = preg_split( '/([\s]+)/', $the_contents, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE );
		$the_contents = '';
		$count_words = 0;
		$enclosed_by_tag = false;
		foreach( $all_chunks as $chunk ) {
			// is tag opened?
			if( 0 < preg_match( '/<[^>]*$/s', $chunk ) ) $enclosed_by_tag = true;
			elseif( 0 < preg_match( '/>[^<]*$/s', $chunk ) ) $enclosed_by_tag = false; 			// get entire word 			if( !$enclosed_by_tag && '' != trim( $chunk ) && substr( $chunk, -1, 1 ) != '>' ) $count_words ++;
			$the_contents .= $chunk;
			if( $count_words >= $all_words && !$enclosed_by_tag ) break;
		}
                // note the class named 'more-link'. style it on your own
		$the_contents = $the_contents . '' . $read_more_tag . '';
		// native WordPress check for unclosed tags
		$the_contents = force_balance_tags( $the_contents );
	}
	return $the_contents;
}
?>

Where to paste the above code?

If your WP theme doesn’t contain “functions.php” file – create one and simply paste. Otherwise use existing “functions.php”.

How to use the above function?

Many of you will not need an additional explanation but here it is just for case….
Which template file uses More tag? As far as I know, the list includes “category.php”, “index.php”, “search.php”, “archive.php”, “tag.php” or any other custom made template file. It’s not a must – of course, but rather your choice. So if you decide to apply automatic content trim, standard call to a WP function the_content() will not do the job. You’ll have to add several extra lines of code instead:

<?php
// here's the point where we are about to display Post excerpt
$perma_link = get_permalink( $post->ID ); // current Post permalink
$content = get_the_content(); // save entire content in variable
$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $content ); // WP bug fix
$content = str_replace( ']]>', ']]>', $content ); // ...as well
echo trim_the_content( $content, __( "READ MORE", "sofa_memento" ), $perma_link, 55 ); // trim to 55 words
?>

<?php
function attachment_url_extra( $form_fields, $post ) {
	// input field relates to attachments
        // my_field and _my_field is what you should replace with your own
	$post->post_type == 'attachment';
	$form_fields[ 'my_field' ] = array(
		'label' => __( 'MY FIELD' ),
		'input' => 'text',
		'value' => get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_my_field', true )
	);
	$form_fields[ 'my_field' ][ 'label' ] = __( 'MY FIELD' );
	$form_fields[ 'my_field' ][ 'input' ] = 'text';
	$form_fields[ 'my_field' ][ 'value' ] = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_my_field', true );

	return $form_fields;
}

add_filter( 'attachment_fields_to_edit', 'attachment_url_extra', NULL, 2 );

function attachment_url_extra_save( $post, $attachment ) {

	if( isset( $attachment[ 'my_field' ] ) ) {
		if( trim( $attachment[ 'my_field'] ) == '' ) $post[ 'errors' ][ 'my_field' ][ 'errors' ][] = __( 'Error! Something went wrong.' );
		else update_post_meta( $post[ 'ID' ], '_my_field', $attachment[ 'my_field' ] );
	}
	return $post;

}

add_filter( 'attachment_fields_to_save', 'attachment_url_extra_save', NULL, 2 );
?>

The above code will actually make your Media panel look like this:

Where to paste the above code?

If your WP theme doesn’t contain “functions.php” file – create one and simply paste. Otherwise use existing “functions.php”. However we are just half way toward our goal because we gotta be able to pull inserted information out of database!

How to retrieve inserted information?

Hence the fact attachments are treated as posts, they have its own ID and certain meta data assigned by upload. Meta data is written to your WP database table named “wp_postmeta” so all we need to do is to find out our attachment ID and pull its meta data value which corresponds to a name “_my_field” – as can be seen in above example code.
Let’s say we are either in $wp_query loop (category template), single view (single.php) template file or a Page – it doesn’t really matter at this point.

<?php
// find out attachment ID of a post. We'll consider only the first attachment/image
$attFiles = get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&post_parent=' . $post->ID );
// short way to access ID
$arrK = array_keys( $attFiles );
if( $arrK[ 0 ] ) {
	// ...
	$gpm_image_linkto = get_post_meta( $arrK[ 0 ], '_my_field', true );
        // ...
}
?>

Once you have required information, do whatever is necessary with it. That’s all folks, hopefully you’ve go the point!

<?php
function filter_search_rez( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search ) $query->set( 'post_type', 'post' );
    return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'filter_search_rez' );
?>

Now you gonna say that’s stupid because I could simply achieve the same by using
query_posts( ‘post_type=post’ ).
Is your pagination still working? The point is that filters are applied to information read from the database, prior to displaying on a page.
