Adding a sub-menu in the wordpress admin menu :)

2010-07-29 2 min read Wordpress

For the impatient ones, first the code:
(in wp-admin folder, open the file menu.php) and locate the code:

$submenu[’edit.php’][10] = array( _x(’Add New’, ’post’), ’edit_posts’, ’post-new.php’ );

and add the below:

$submenu[’edit.php’][7] = array( _x(’Pending’, ’post’), ’edit_posts’, ’edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=post’ );

And now the explanation and why do you need this 🙂

Problem:

There is no direct mechanism to access the pending posts in WP admin. I generally post through email and mark them as pending. So, whenever I go to my admin POSTs page, I will look through the list of pending items and post them as and when required. For this, when I am done with changes in one item, I need to either modify the address bar or need to go to posts link and then click the Pending items.

colors in bash -- script to display all the possible colors.

2010-06-06 3 min read Bash Fedora Linux

If you wanted to have colors in the bash output (including the colors in PS1-4), don’t you keep wondering how the color code would look on the terminal. So, I wrote this small script to show the complete color codes. This is how the output would look:

$\"Bash$

And here is the script:

  <td>

Startup animation and theme for Fedora 12 onwards.

Since the release of <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/fedora" title="Fedora" rel="homepage" href="http://fedoraproject.org/">Fedora 12, fedora is using plymouth. Plymouth kicks in just after grub and before the Xserver starts.

Description:

Plymouth provides an attractive graphical <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/bootsplash" title="Bootsplash" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootsplash">boot animation in

Script to download all the related videos from youtube with youtube-dl

2010-05-17 2 min read Fedora Linux Uncategorized

Lets cut the long discussion <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/short_subject" title="Short film" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_film">short and directly give you the script. The script is combination of all the posts that I did in the past about youtube <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uploading_and_downloading" title="Uploading and downloading" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uploading_and_downloading">downloads. You need to copy all the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uniform_resource_locator" title="Uniform Resource Locator" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL’s in a file called ”~/youtube.urls” which you want to be downloaded. Or if you need to donwload the related videos, then save the html of the page and give it as the first argument for the script. So, here’s the scrit:

Downloading all related videos from youtube with youtube-dl

2010-05-16 2 min read Fedora Learning Linux Uncategorized

How many time did you want to see all the videos (related) to the one you were watching on youtube but decided otherwise as the downloaded was not fast enough. Or has it happened to you that you wanted to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uploading_and_downloading" title="Uploading and downloading" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uploading_and_downloading">download all the related videos, in either case you can use the youtube-dl utility I blogged about some times back. First you need to get all the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uniform_resource_locator" title="Uniform Resource Locator" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL’s in a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/text_file" title="Text file" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_file">text file, and the simplest way to do this is :

Firefox 4.0 mockups for LInux/Windows and Mac

The link above will take you to the Mozilla wiki for the UI and theme mockups for the Firefox 4.0 release. Quite interesting but what I did not like is that the Linux mockup looks more like chrome. Not sure why mozilla would want to do that 🙂

Tabs-on-top: Defaut tabs to top of UI.
Hiding the Menu Bar: Hide the menu bar and add Page and Tools buttons.
