BLOG FILTER



We often have some posts that we would like to promote and keep at the first page of the blog. When you are using pagination, the sticky posts will be added to the standard posts, making the post count per page uneven.

If you want to keep your posts per page count consistent, there is a way to do that.

PREPARE PAGINATION

SWITCH QUERY FOR FIRST PAGE

We are getting closer to Boostrap 4 and I really love what we are getting with the first alpha version.

  1. Improved grid system
  2. Opt-in flexbox support is here. Nice.
  3. Dropped wells, thumbnails, and panels for cards.
  4. Consolidated all our HTML resets into a new module, Reboot. Much cleaner.
  5. Dropped IE8 support and moved to rem and em units. Finally REM units and IE8 free. I know there will be still projects with IE8 requirements, but the amount of projects is getting less and less :)
  6. Improved auto-placement of tooltips and popovers. They are using Tether, have been using that for projects for some time now. GREAT!

Sometimes you want to add your own avatar for a user or build your own special predefined avatar selection :)

WHERE ARE THEY STORED

BuddyPress stores avatars in /wp-content/uploads/avatars/ – USERID – /

HOW ARE THEY STORED

BuddyPress hashes the original filename and stores full and thumbnail images in the above directory.

Now go ahead and build your own integration around that ;)

portalZINE NMN | Development meets Creativity |I started adding a standard preface to emails from clients asking to work with me. So here it is, for potential new clients, that think about working with me :)

  1. I am not doing subcontracting. I am a full-stack developer and my customers get what they see, which means my full attention for a project. Projects I take on are handled as if they were my own.
  2. For bigger projects, I do fixed project prices only. I am not starting development without a full roadmap, timeframe and specifications in sync with the functionality required to get the project live :) A fixed project price covers all from development,  integration and  assistance in moving forward. Clients and myself hate additional hidden costs ;) Any work that moves far out of the project boundaries will be highlighted and discussed in a timely fashion.I have a reference hourly rate, which I do squeeze if a long term commitment to the project can be foreseen.I also offer hourly rates for maintenance and smaller projects. Projects can also be split up into stages, if needed!
  3. If you want someone that thinks for himself and incorporates ideas, I am the right person. If you are looking for a simple developer that just steps through a list of tasks, I am not the right person for your project.
  4. All project steps will be monitored via an Asana project to keep schedules and tasks cleanly organized. I offer be-weekly updates of the status and schedule meetings, if anything is unclear within an area currently worked on.

If you made it so far and you still would like to work with me, we can move to step 2 :)

Finally took the time to fine tune my Android Emulator setup, to do some easy browser testing :)

Will be doing an article about browser testing on a local machine soon.

Online browser testing platforms are all nice, but often too expensive for a single developer.

With the ARM translation working, Chrome finally stopped crashing on Android X86 :)

Sadly IE8 is still a browser we need to build for. Sometimes loading a set of local webfonts can break the whole website, as needed resources are not being loaded or timeout.

Best way is to split IE8 webfonts loading from other browsers, by using conditionals:

IE8 webfonts CSS

Only loading the required .EOT files.
