[wordpress][solution] Use Gravityforms to add pages instead of posts

As you all know I love GravityForms to make dynamic contactforms.
http://www.gravityforms.com/ > Direct download



You can also use GravityForms to add posts, but today I needed to add pages.

Using this simple code ( http://www.ramonfincken.com/permalink/topic184.html ) I found out that /gravityforms/forms_model.php contained the call to wp_insert_post

Warnings:
* this will ALWAYS add a page instead of a post when using the post fields in the form configuration.
* you can still use categories, and tags, however you will need to have some PHP skills to show them on your site


Now it was easy:
Code:
FIND
$post_id = wp_insert_post($post_data);

BEFORE, ADD
            // Ramon Fincken's  hack to add a page instead of a post http://www.ramonfincken.com/permalink/topic217.html
            $post_data['post_type'] = 'page';

A simple function to update your twitter status using the API:

Thanks to http://woork.blogspot.com/2007/10/twitt...-page.html


Code:

/**
* A simple function using Curl to post (GET) to Twitter
* Kosso : March 14 2007 http://woork.blogspot.com/2007/10/twitter-send-message-from-php-page.html
* Ramon Fincken http://www.ramonfincken.com/permalink/topic215.html
* Warning: make sure your message is not more then 140 chars!
*/
function update_twitter_status($username,$password,$message,$mailto = NULL){

   $message = substr($message, 0, 140);
   $host = "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status=".urlencode(stripslashes(urldecode($message)));

   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $host);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

   $result = curl_exec($ch);
    // Look at the returned header
   $resultArray = curl_getinfo($ch);

   curl_close($ch);

   if($resultArray['http_code'] == "200"){
         $twitter_status='Your message has been sended! <a>See your profile</a> http://twitter.com/' . $username;
   } else {
      $twitter_status="Error posting to Twitter. Retry";

   if(isset($mailto))

      mail($mailto, 'twitter sent', $twitter_status);

[solution][snipplet] function has_gravatar()

Looking for an elegant method to see if a user has a gravatar or not ..

I stumbled upon this url: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Gravat...a_Gravatar
>
Quote:
The trick to do this is to specify "404" as the default. In this case, the gravatar service will return a 404 error if no gravatar exists, instead of returning some default image. A real image will get a 200 code. It is best to check for 200, as some other errors might be returned as well, for other cases.


Code:

function validate_gravatar($email) {
 // Craft a potential url and test its headers
  $hash = md5($email);
 $uri = 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/' . $hash . '?d=404';
   $headers = @get_headers($uri);
   if (!preg_match("|200|", $headers[0])) {
    $has_valid_avatar = FALSE;
   } else {
     $has_valid_avatar = TRUE;
 }
  return $has_valid_avatar;
}



Works great, alltough I would have named the function has_gravatar($email); or user_has_gravatar($email);

So this is the code I use at http://www.ikzoekeensportpartner.nl :
Warning: you cannot simply copy paste this code below, but if you are a PHP coder, you'll know what to do Smile
Code:

 /**
   * Checks if user has a gravatar or not
   * @return boolean
   */
  function has_valid_gravatar($email) {
      // Craft a potential url and test its headers
     $hash = md5($email);
    $uri = 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/' . $hash . '?d=404';
      $headers = @ get_headers($uri);
     if (!preg_match("|200|", $headers[0])) {
       $has_valid_avatar = FALSE;
      } else {
        $has_valid_avatar = TRUE;
    }
     return $has_valid_avatar;
 }

 /**
   * Returns gravatar OR default avatar url (if no gravatar found)
   */
  function create_gravatar_url($email, $size) {
    $rating = 'R';
    global $default_gravatar;
    if (validate :: email($email)) {
       if (overall :: has_valid_gravatar($email)) {
          return $url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/" . md5($email) . "?r=" . $rating . "&amp;default=" . $default_gravatar . "&amp;size=" . $size;
        }
     }
     return $default_gravatar;
 }
