I know, what was I thinking?
Maybe it’ll stay around a little bit longer…

Hey Douglas,
Thanks for the comment, and thanks for the work you do with the Showcase. I think it’s a great resource for those who want some inspiration and an idea of what WordPress is capable of.
Keep up the great work.

Ryan,

Yes, the site is definitely in Showcase and is in my slidedeck for my “Showcasing the Showcase” presentation I do. It is a great example of a WordPress site used for a unique purpose. Thanks for using WordPress!

Douglas

Comment on Ajax for WordPress Plugins Using jQuery Tutorial by Olivier

Well, I am not sure actually, it may be better to include it but then I guess that you need to check something in your ajax handler but I don’t know what…

It looks like a bit like nonce… If you don’t define a nonce, then no need to check for it. If you define it and you don’t check it, it is useless.

Hmm. I’m not sure why that was in there. But if it works without it, I would remove it if you don’t need to pass any cookie information back to the server.

Quick question for you Ryan, you are adding this parameter in your ajax call : ‘cookie’: encodeURIComponent(document.cookie). But then, nothing is checked back in your ajax php handler on the server. I have made some researches and I cannot find out how to handle this fucking cookie. So I have removed the parameter from the ajax call. I thought it would break it and no, it is still functionning… So I am really wondering what it is about…

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate that.
A good CMS-type theme I have seen and worked with is Thesis. It’s pretty customizable and flexible.
As far as plugins, I really kinda create my own based on my needs, but there are thousands out there that provide pretty much any thing you can think of. A useful one is “More Fields”, that makes custom fields easier to use repetitively.
The wordpress docs and codex is really good if you want to develop plugins and themes of your own.
Good luck.
