iPad Case

by taoski on August 25, 2010

I have finally got my iPad and after using it for a week on it's own, I decided to get a cover for it.

A chap at work has been using the InCase one, which was available at the Apple store, but it was £50! Also, it was perhaps a little too bulky for what I wanted. I needed a case, but also wanted the iPad to remain as slim and as sexy as possible at the same time.

After asking for help for the over-helpful staff in the shop, i ended up going for the Apple branded case.

It is thin and wraps nicely around the iPad too, leaving small holes for the connector and room to lower the the volume when you need to. It can also function as a stand that lets you either rest the iPad on your lap for typing (as I am now!) or upright for watching your image slideshow or a movie.

All in all, I am happy with my choice of iPad case. Some people might need more pockets and options as a stand, but it is very good and not too expensive too.

Add Child Pages As Teasers In Thesis

by taoski on August 4, 2010

If you are into building affiliate sites in WordPress that follow a nice, structured, nested page method to show the products, then you might have set up something like this:

Brand1
-product 1
-product 2
--color1
--color2
-product 3
Brand2
-product 1
-product 2

But, to make things easier for yourself, on the Brand1, Brand2 and product 2 pages, it would be great to be able to show the child pages that go underneath automatically, rather than having to edit the parent page all the time if you add a new one. I love the teasers layout that the Thesis theme gives, so I set about coding something to show the child pages under the page content.

I did this using the excellent Thesis OpenHook plugin and put the following code in the thesis_hook_after_content section and it works like a dream:

<?php
if(is_page()) { ?> <!-- Show only on single pages -->
    <?php
    global $post;
    $children = get_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0&depth=1");
 
    if ($children)
    {
	$teaser_count = 1;
	foreach ($children as $childpage)
	{
		$post_count = $childpage->ID;
		$child_page_array = $child_page_array . $post_count. ",";
	}
 
 
	$args=array('post_type'=>'page',
	'post__in'=>explode(",",$child_page_array)
	);
 
	$sub_query = new WP_Query();
	$sub_query->query($args);
 
	while ($sub_query->have_posts()) : $sub_query->the_post();
 
	if (($teaser_count % 2) == 1) {
		$top = ($post_count == 1) ? ' top' : '';
		$open_box = "\t\t\t<div class=\"teasers_box$top\">\n\n";
		$close_box = '';
		$right = false;
	}
	else
	{
		$open_box = '';
		$close_box = "\t\t\t</div>\n\n";
		$right = true;
	}
 
	if ($open_box != '')
	{
		echo $open_box;
		thesis_hook_before_teasers_box($post_count);
	}
 
	thesis_teaser($classes, $post_count, $right);
 
	if ($close_box != '')
	{
		echo $close_box;
		thesis_hook_after_teasers_box($post_count);
	}
 
	$teaser_count++;
 
endwhile;
}
}
?>
