A few weeks ago, I was working with a fellow developer and trying to figure out how we could enhance the functionality of a Wordpress website that required managing visitor logins. The site, which was for poets and writers, would allow visitors to set up accounts, submit content, interact with others on the website and share content to outside circles on Facebook and Twitter. After scratching our heads for a number of days, we came to the conclusion that BuddyPress would provide the needed solution....
Picking up from where we left off, we need to start by creating some HTML to display the data we’ve stored in the $results variable. You can always modify this to suite your project. I’ll be using a table structure. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <link href="styles/theme.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <title>PHP & MySQL</title>\ </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <table> <thead> <th>Title</th>...

Coda by Panic bills itself to be "one-window web development." I have been a web developer (or at least playing with code) for the past six or seven years, and purchased Coda about a year ago. It took me almost this long to realize the beauty that lies within the code editor when you truly use it as a one-window web development system. Today, I'm going to walk you through setting up your next WordPress site so you can develop locally, deploy to your live server, and maintain the code base and providing site maintenance....
For the vast majority of modern websites, advertising is a major source of revenue. Banner ads for services related to the web site owner’s industry allow customers to view products that tie into the site owner’s core business. In exchange, the web site owner can charge the banner ad owner for every impression (banner ad appearance) or click-through (when a user clicks the banner ad). In order to build a banner ad management system, we must first create the database tables that will hold the ad information,...
MySQL stored procedure's come in really handy at times. I like to let the database do the work for me sometimes. For example, in an e-commerce system you may need to calculate a tax. For our example today though, we will use the tables we made in my previous article on the XREF table. We are going to focus this tutorial on getting the appropriate tables in place to preform our history logging. To start, we are going to create a module's table so that our history table can be one table instead of many and we are...
