';"'; } ?> > ``` * then the author , while creating a page, can add a custom field with key = “color” and value set to a valid css color like “blue” or “#0000ff” and that color will be set as body background * Same could be done with image background names or whatever. Id recommend adding a test to your code to ensure what is entered as a value is valid. the above could mess up the html if the author entered something like “greenish brown” * I’ve also used this for adding text in the masthead and even defining special menus and such. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [creating dynamic pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-dynamic-pages/) * Thread Starter [Tom Penney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blots/) * (@blots) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-dynamic-pages/#post-708171) * As a side note, how does one post in the advanced forum? * This is what I ended up doing although I can’t help but think there is a much better way to do this. Please, any comments welcome, abusive or otherwise 😉 * what this does is gets one post then modifies it to contain my content: * ``` add_action('init', 'show_item'); function show_item() { $showme = $_GET['showme']; if ( !empty($showme) ){ add_filter('the_content', 'replace_content'); add_filter('the_title', 'replace_title'); add_filter('post_limits', 'limit_1_post' ); //addfilter([other filters to remove other stuff you dont want to display]); add_action('template_redirect', 'replace_template'); } } function replace_content($text) { //do somthing to generate content with $_GET['showme'] $mycontent = "My Dynamic Content"; return $mycontent; } function replace_title($text) { return "My Title"; } function limit_1_post($limit) { return 'LIMIT 1'; } function replace_template() { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/page.php'); exit; } ``` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [creating dynamic pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-dynamic-pages/) * Thread Starter [Tom Penney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blots/) * (@blots) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-dynamic-pages/#post-708118) * Can anyone point me in the right direction here? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Change Content of a Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-content-of-a-blog/) * [Tom Penney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blots/) * (@blots) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-content-of-a-blog/#post-700907) * Manage > Posts > Edit * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [who decided to put “browser happy” in WP?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/who-decided-to-put-browser-happy-in-wp/) * [Tom Penney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blots/) * (@blots) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/who-decided-to-put-browser-happy-in-wp/page/2/#post-547504) * I never saw it because I don’t use IE. A client called me asked “Why I am smearing IE?” I say “What do you mean?” That was when I first saw it. Why hide the link from me? * I’m all for promoting Firefox and other standards compliant browsers but at the same time I don’t like siding against my clients either. Promoting better browsers is one thing but putting anti Microsoft propaganda on my site without my knowledge just seems wrong. Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
