02JunCSS: Adding a piped nav menu (minus the first one)

From the List Apart article Taming Lists

A pipe character, |, is often used to differentiate between choices. It is an obvious separating character, and can be emulated by adding borders to list items:

#pipe ul {
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
display: inline;
}

#pipe ul li {
margin-left: 0;
padding: 3px 15px;
border-left: 1px solid #000;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
}

#pipe ul li.first {
margin-left: 0;
border-left: none;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
}
Here we add to the first LI so that it does not end up with a border on its left side.

Item 1 | Item 2 |  Item 3 | Item 4

01Juncss image rollovers

I was looking for a css solution to the normal java-script/html combo for the rollover social icon images I was putting in the header of http://realtime.ir.com

The CSS

a#rollovertwit { background-image:url(images/social/twit_grey.png); height: 15px; width:15px; display:block;float:left; margin-right:2px;}
a#rollovertwit span { display:none; }
a#rollovertwit:hover { background-image:url(images/social/twit_over.png); }

a#rolloverin { background-image:url(images/social/in_grey.png); height: 15px; width:15px; display:block; float:left; margin-right:2px;}
a#rolloverin span { display:none; }
a#rolloverin:hover { background-image:url(images/social/in_over.png); }

a#rolloverrss { background-image:url(images/social/rss_grey.png); height: 15px; width:15px; display:block; float:left; }
a#rolloverrss span { display:none; }
a#rolloverrss:hover { background-image:url(images/social/rss_over.png); }

The HTML in the header.php file

<div id =”social”>

<a href=”http://twitter.com/realtimeir” id=”rollovertwit” target=”_blank”><span>Twitter</span></a>

<a href=”http://www.linkedin.com/companies/integrated-research” id=”rolloverin” target=”_blank”><span>Linked In</span></a>

<a href=”http://realtime.ir.com/rss” id=”rolloverrss” target=”_blank”><span>RSS</span></a>

</div>

 

Some extra styling was required after this

31MayThe Deconstruction of adding a Author Page in WP

Using PHP drawing from authors profile and the Author Image Plugin For WordPress Save it as author.php.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div>

<!– This sets the $curauth variable –>
<div id=”authorpage”>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
endif;
?>

<h2> <?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?></h2>

<!– next line adds the image –>

<?php the_author_image(); ?>

<dl>

<dt><strong>Bio</strong></dt>
<dd><?php echo $curauth->user_description; ?></dd>
</dl>

<h3>Posts by <?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?>:</h3>

<ul>
<!– The Loop –>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<li>
<a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”>
<span> <?php the_title(); ?></a>,</span>
<?php the_time(‘d M Y’); ?> <em>in <?php the_category(‘&’);?></em>
</li>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e(‘No posts by this author.’); ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>

<!– End Loop –>

</ul>
</div></div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
