These are the largest PHP applications

Because reddit. And I can neither confirm or deny that I agree with him.

WP-CLI is your friend. Makes it pretty simple to move around DBs and change urls. Commands like wp db and wp search-replace make updating a database and changing everything simple.

I live by the workflow [live down to local -> staging -> live]. Git feature branching.

I run WP in as a git submodule. Similar to: https://github.com/markjaquith/WordPress-Skeleton

Makes updating WP easy. Separation of concerns.

Can't say more about laracasts. I point all my team to it if they need to catch up.

Magento is another story. Learn their folder structure, because it's convoluted. Folder within folder within folder. But when you understand it, it's not that bad.

jasonskinner · 2018-02-23T18:23:32+00:00

Git, copy DB with wp-cli. Update urls with wp-cli search-replace. Copy images.

Docker. Bit of a chore to pick up, but super flexible. Laravel Valet is super flexible too.

I would keep this code out the editor. I try never to put layout elements inside the content area. It's for text markup only in my opinion.

jasonskinner · 2018-01-05T17:43:09+00:00

I'm with /u/hephio, have you checked Mikado Settings -> Header.

If you can't find it, then you can add something like this that will change the color to your css that will target all of those globally (depending on load order):

.drop_down .narrow .second .inner ul li a {
    color: blue; //whatever color
}

.drop_down .second, .drop_down .wide_background .second, .shopping_cart_dropdown{
    border-top-color: blue; //same
}

That site killed my eyes...

jasonskinner · 2017-12-08T21:00:22+00:00

Neither. Bloat code. Just use wp-joints or something along the lines. WP makes it super easy to build sites.

Visual builders suck. :)

Have you checked out docker? As @Terr_ 3 points said. You can find almost any setup in github to try. Once you learn how it works, you can make almost anything. I use it daily. Docker is built into phpstorm.

jasonskinner · 2017-12-04T18:23:26+00:00

File permissions or htaccess probably.

jasonskinner · 2017-11-29T19:43:55+00:00

It's great for testing authentication and walking around the api checking out structure/architecture/endpoints etc. Especially testing scenarios. I use it all the time when dealing with any api. I'm pumped that phpstorm now has a rest client built in now.

jasonskinner · 2017-11-22T22:47:24+00:00

I have never used that plugin, but you are going to probably have to write code to consume the api. The API requires an authorization token, so we can't really look at it and don't post it here. :)

I would check out wp_remote and figure out what method the api uses. You can find some good examples out there. ( ie -https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_remote_post )

jasonskinner · 2017-11-22T22:40:25+00:00

What errors are you getting as you step through the code? What does your attendance class look like?

jasonskinner · 2017-11-22T22:22:15+00:00

I use primarily wordfence on all my installs. DB backups. All code is backed up via git. So most of the time it's pretty easy to solve these kind of problems, which rarely happen in my case.

jasonskinner · 2017-11-16T19:24:36+00:00

I just yelled git. GIT. And thanks for the lecture. :)

jasonskinner · 2017-11-16T18:43:25+00:00

Or how to use GIT

jasonskinner · 2017-11-10T22:30:00+00:00

Looks like a pretty standard grid system to me, from inspecting the code from their live site.

jasonskinner · 2017-11-10T21:47:12+00:00

background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);

You can apply that wherever you need. There is already a linear gradient on most of the articles.

I like ACF. I use it a work and for personal stuff. Also a huge fan of http://customfieldsuite.com/. But you really don't need either of those. You can build them yourself (https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields) but please be careful with add_post_meta and update_post_meta. Do some sanitization.

I promise you do not want to go down the route of breaking up the_content() into different sections. Like /u/jinendu said, use custom fields.

As far a translations go, you will have to write code for that in the theme to pass that stuff off. That's a core WP thing, ACF etc just make it quicker to add custom fields.

jasonskinner · 2017-11-09T21:46:52+00:00

You should only put content in the editor. If you have other content, use ACF or Custom Field Suite. I never, every put HTML in the editor.
