Mr. Brightside
She asked me ” Excuse me do i know you? “, to which i replied ” hi, i’m Mr. Brightside “, she smiled and said “well that’s tragic”, i mustered up a smile of my own and said ” I guess it is, guess it is” then i asked her “and might i know who it is that wants to know?” she just smiled turned and walked away. I’d have gone after her but the alarm clock shook me out of my dream, now i was fumbling around in my room trying to nullify the defining noise. It was all […]

Fire Fighters of Nepal
All the festivities were over, we spent the day laughing, having fun, playing cards and now it was time for rest like every other tika in every other dashain. But today would not be just another tika. I heard the first screams around ten, I ignored them : i’d seen men drink the whole day, it wasn’t a surprise that they’d get into fights: nothing out of the norm. However these screams weren’t the usual screams, the usual would be cries of men screaming obscenities at each other. No these were the screams of men, women and children: these were […]

The Value of Information
After 4 years of being an IT student it is ironic that this will be my first article regarding my field of choice. Yet I feel the time is right to write and share. What does it mean to be an IT student? Many of aspire to be the next Zucherberg or Bill Gates, most of us are dreamers. Dreamers that believe an idea can change the world. After all those stories of kids out of college that make it big are the norm in the IT sector. The Entrepreneurial spirit, that’s what they give us! The field of IT […]

Custom Post Type with Custom Meta Boxes Part 1 of 2
First lets start with registering a custom post type, to be used at our discretion.There are 5 basic post_types that comes with wordpress these are not to be messed with. They are : Post (Post Type: ‘post’) Page (Post Type: ‘page’) Attachment (Post Type: ‘attachment’) Revision (Post Type: ‘revision’) Navigation menu (Post Type: ‘nav_menu_item’) If you use woocommerce you’ll see that basically they also use post_types.

WordPress: Making Ajax Calls
Just Like i promised, today we will cover making Ajax Calls Well lets start with the basics shall we? Each request needs to supply at least one piece of data (using the GET or POST method) called action. Based on this action, the code in admin-ajax.php creates two hooks, wp_ajax_my_action and wp_ajax_nopriv_my_action, wheremy_action is the value of the GET or POST variable action. Adding a function to the first hook means that that function will fire if a logged-in user initiates the action. Using the second hook, you can cater to logged-out users separately. add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_script_enqueuer’ ); function my_script_enqueuer() […]

Understanding The WordPress Template Hierarchy
Template Hierarchy: 1) Which template files will WordPress use when it displays a certain type of page? The General Idea WordPress uses the Query String — information contained within each link on your web site — to decide which template or set of templates will be used to display the page. First, WordPress matches every Query String to query types — i.e. it decides what type of page (a search page, a category page, the home page etc.) is being requested. Example https://www.digamberpradhan.com.np/?s=asdf this hyperlink will result in a search page. Templates are then chosen — and web page content is generated […]

How to use PHP Data in your Javascript files for WordPress
WordPress makes it spectacularly easy to transfer data to you javascript files if you’re unfamiliar with enqueuing scripts then please refer to my previous post. Here it goes then. Say you want to do something “fancy” like ajax calls from you js files. I’m starting to get a little off point here right now i’d like to fully explore only localization. So ajax calls will be covered in a later post (hopefully soon) You’ll need to use wp_localize_script to make data availabe to javascript. Syntax: wp_localize_script( $handle, $name, $data ); Example add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’,’digthis_loadscript’); function digthis_loadscript() { wp_register_script( ‘main’, get_template_directory_uri(). ‘/js/main.js’, ”, […]
