Comment on Dealing with shortcode madness by nomad-one

I think the main problem here is most WordPress users are unable to code the intricate layouts or content blocks they want their content to contain, and shortcodes in some part fullfils this for some, but shouldn’t we be looking at how to extend the WYSIWYG editor to be more powerful for these types of users instead? ALA Dreamweaver design view? Then they could have some insert tools will parameters they can modify to suite their requirements like CSS settings per content block which can be edited by clicking the block’s design view handle similar to how we edit images once inserted? This approach could still render pure HTML in the editor, but could be setup to prevent WYSIWYG breakages by preventing partly destroying a content block the way many users end up doing with hidden HTML. Whoever comes up with a plugin that packages this in a user friendly manner will be bale to make a ton of money, it could even include built in post templates etc.

I’ve never needed anything more than a category-based body classes, but I’ll definitely have this bookmarked in case that changes; the screenshot looks quite nice!

great plugin, would it be possible to include two different panels.
Eg you could have one dropdown panel for food menu, another one for social media.

Comment on My First Week In South Korea by Justin Tadlock

What they probably mean about weekends being optional is that there’s a handful of events during the year that you will be required to attend. We never actually worked on the weekend though. The only things we attended were company “sports” days, the annual banquet, and a few gatherings. They’re fun things to do though.

Your school might have some optional classes that it teaches on the weekends though. These will probably be volunteer work for additional pay. You’d have to ask your employer though to be sure.

As far as a training weekend goes, my school in particular and others I knew about just trained during the initial week. Basically, we attended other teachers’ classes for a week and then taught a few at the end of the week.

Don’t worry too much about your weekends. You’ll be free 95% of them.

Hello!

I’ve just been offered a job with Avalon in Bucheon and was wondering if you’ve able to give details of what it’s like. On the contract it says weekends are optional. Did you find that to be the case? Also, did you have to attend a training weekend? My employer says that this is mandatory.

Thanks for your help!

Comment on Using shortcodes to show members-only content by Rene

Great! I have searched long after how it was possible. Have taken it in use and it works well.

However, a small problem turned out

On the pages I use the code I can not use other [code] of any kind. for example. [content mirror site = undefined record type = page item = 138]

The code is seen simply as plain text on the sides, and not the expected function

Do you have a solution to this

Comment on Sidebars in WordPress by Jim

Why are these called sidebars? They should be called widget areas.
I have placed these in the header and footer not just on the sides of the page.

I’d be really interested in seeing prices lower than that for quality (emphasis on “quality”) eggs.
