Category Sort plugin for wp-ecommerce
June 7th, 2011 by Sarah KingI needed to be be able to sort the entries in a wp-ecommerce site that I am working on and the only plugins I could find were for the pre-3.8 versions.
This plugin tacks a sort order field onto the end of the category edit page. The update to the SQL is a bit rough so I’d be interested if there is a cleaner/safer way to detect which query to change the sort order for but for this version it does the trick nicely.
The sort order of blog posts is unaffected. Each category can have it’s own sort order.
If you have different sort requirements it should be quite straightforward to extend the dropdown options and add to the sql result.
Be afraid, be very afraid!
August 13th, 2010 by Sarah KingSo you have a great idea for a site, you buy a domain, throw a WordPress site up on your shared hosting and upload a free template and every cool plugin known to man. Within an hour you’ve written 5 blog posts and dropped a link at dp so within 2 more hours the spiders will be all over the site and the world will know about you.
Anyone who has been around for a bit knows that all of those plugins and themes should be checked out before they get uploaded but in reality some can get pretty gnarly and the vast majority of WordPress users can do little more than ftp.
Pharma hack and their C&C (Command & control) server
Understanding and cleaning the Pharma hack on WordPress
Securi have blown the whistle on a so-called “Pharma hack” where a few lines of code nestled in a template (but could just as easily be a plugin) allow the hacker to upload further scripts and take control of your site. They appear to be taking it easy right now and just inserting new links around the place and hoping, I guess, that most will be on auto-blog so that the owners are relatively disinterested and won’t notice their changes.
A few years ago WordPress had a situation where they’d stopped using a file that had a security flaw in it. Those of us who upgraded properly deleted the file and were fine. Those who just uploaded the new files ontop of the old still had the file on their servers and were vulnerable.
If you’ve got lazy of late its time to rethink how you upgrade and what you install. Probably time to lock down that config.php too.
And time for WordPress to let us have any files that are never called directly isolated and either moved below the root or locked away from public access.

Auckland hosts WordCamp, and aint it great!
August 7th, 2010 by Sarah KingWhen you’re a WAHM freelancer the first thing you notice is the lack of techies to talk with so it’s great to be able to break out and attend events like Auckland’s WordCamp.
I only made it to the afternoon session but the techie sessions were worth going to:
- An intro to HTML5 and CSS3 and why we should care
- Custom Pages – opening WordPress up to a whole new style of development
- WordPress Plugins and customisation
Some of the info was possibly a bit superficial but hanging out in the corridor afterwards with WP developers and guys from Instinct.co.nz was just the thing for a tech starved geek. So much better than infracting fools at dp!
Great to catch up with Michael Brandon too, find out what he’s been up to and chat SEO.
I’m all set to have a play with the e-commerce plugin so I can quiz Jeffry Ghazally at his session tomorrow.

Crude and Ineffective!
March 8th, 2006 by Sarah KingSpam is one of those topics that gets returned to time and again. Well, I was just updating this blog and found:
WordPress Archive Lists
January 24th, 2006 by Sarah KingOne thing I haven’t become involved with is writing plugins for WordPress but I have been looking at ways to make my blog more efficient.
I tried out a tag system back in October but found that it generated too many tags and often irrelevant tags so finally scrapped it in favour of the plugins from Ultimate Tag Warrior produced by fellow kiwi Christine Davis (who I don’t actually know 
). Her system allowed me to produce a “Tag Cloud” which is pretty cool.
I haven’t totally got my head around the custom tags page with url rewriting but for now I’m happy with urls like /index.php?tag=kiwi and I’ve learnt a little about templates.
So when I posted some info about the UTW plugin at DigitalPoint one of the members asked about Category Archives and gave a new plugin to use. I took a look and couldn’t quite work out how to use it, so took the lessons from UTW and applied them! Read the rest of this entry »
