Custom Meta Boxes<?php add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback,

$post_type, $context, $priority, $callback_args ); ?>

<?php/* Define the custom box */add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'myplugin_add_custom_box' );

// Use nonce for verification wp_nonce_field( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ), 'myplugin_noncename' );

// The actual fields for data entry echo '<label for="myplugin_new_field">'; _e("Description for this field", 'myplugin_textdomain' ); echo '</label> '; echo '<input type="text" id="myplugin_new_field" name="myplugin_new_field" value="whatever" size="25" />';}..........

if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['myplugin_noncename'], plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) ) return; //if saving in a custom table, get post_ID $post_ID = $_POST['post_ID']; $mydata = $_POST['myplugin_new_field'];

// Do something with $mydata // probably using add_post_meta(), update_post_meta(), or // a custom table (see Further Reading section below)}?>














Custom Taxonomies<?php register_taxonomy($taxonomy,

$object_type, $args); ?>

// Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories) $labels = array( 'name' => _x( 'Genres', 'taxonomy general name' ), 'singular_name' => _x( 'Genre', 'taxonomy singular name' ), 'search_items' => __( 'Search Genres' ), 'all_items' => __( 'All Genres' ), 'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Genre' ), 'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Genre:' ), 'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Genre' ), 'update_item' => __( 'Update Genre' ), 'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Genre' ), 'new_item_name' => __( 'New Genre Name' ), 'menu_name' => __( 'Genre' ), );

Custom Taxonomies<?php register_taxonomy($taxonomy,

$object_type, $args); ?>

// Add new taxonomy, NOT hierarchical (like tags) $labels = array( 'name' => _x( 'Writers', 'taxonomy general name' ), 'singular_name' => _x( 'Writer', 'taxonomy singular name' ), 'search_items' => __( 'Search Writers' ), 'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Writers' ), 'all_items' => __( 'All Writers' ), 'parent_item' => null, 'parent_item_colon' => null, 'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Writer' ), 'update_item' => __( 'Update Writer' ), 'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Writer' ), 'new_item_name' => __( 'New Writer Name' ), 'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Separate writers with commas' ), 'add_or_remove_items' => __( 'Add or remove writers' ), 'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Choose from the most used writers' ), 'menu_name' => __( 'Writers' ), );

Advanced Queries <?php $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

<?php$args= array( . .);$query= new WP_Query($args);

// Loopwhile($query-‐>have_posts()): $query-‐>next_post(); $id = $query-‐>post-‐>ID; echo '<li>'; echo get_the_title($id); echo '</li>';endwhile;?>


WP_Query is a class defined in wp-includes/query.php that deals with the intricacies of a posts (or pages) request to a WordPress blog. The wp-blog-header.php (or the WP class in Version 2.0) gives the $wp_query object information defining the current request, and then $wp_query determines what type of query it's dealing with (possibly a category archive, dated archive, feed, or search), and fetches the requested posts. It retains a lot of information on the request, which can be pulled at a later date.

Advanced Queries (cont.)<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>


Class Methods- init()- parse_query( $query )- parse_query_vars()- get( $query_var )- set( $query_var, $value ) - &get_posts() - next_post() - the_post() - rewind_posts() - &query( $query ) - get_queried_object() - get_queried_object_id() - WP_Query( $query = '' ) (constructor)

Parameters

Advanced Queries (cont.)<?php $wpdb->get_results( MYSQLQuery ); ?>

$wpdb-‐>query( $wpdb-‐>prepare( " DELETE FROM $wpdb-‐>postmeta WHERE post_id = %d AND meta_key = %s ", 13, 'gargle' ));

or

$wpdb-‐>query( " UPDATE $wpdb-‐>posts SET post_parent = 7 WHERE ID = 15 AND post_status = 'static' ");


The $wpdb object can be used to read data from any table in the WordPress database, not just the standard tables that WordPress creates.
