Wordpress landing page with Supersized

Before I start,

Now let's start!

First thing first, download this amazing image slider here. In this tutorial, I'll be using the version for Flickr.

Second thing, of course you've got Wordpress installed :-)

Part 1, preparing the files

• Extract the desired version (example: flickr) into your Wordpress root folder (or in a another folder, but you need to change some path inside the coding)


• Inside the folder, there is a main html file (example: flickr.html). Rename the file extension to .php (example: flickr.php)


• Insert this at the top line of the file, then save it: <?php /** Template Name: Supersized **/ ?>


• Copy the saved file into wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/templates

Part 2, little modification

• Configure or modify the saved file just now accordingly (read the Supersized documentation)


• Make a link to your blog page (example: <a href="blog/">Enter my blog</a>)

Part 3, create a landing page, blog page and Reading Settings

• Create a new page with title Landing Page, choose the saved file earlier (Supersized) as template (How to choose template) and leave the content empty


• Create another page with title Blog, no template and content require for this


• Go to WP-Admin > Settings > Reading > Front page displays and select the A static page (select below)
  -- Front page: Landing Page
  -- Posts page: Blog


• Save the settings

Well, that's all for basic. Of course I did a lot of modifications in the main html file. You might want to play around with it, enjoy! :-)

Darwisy Back To 2007

Punya la rajin Abah hari ni, sampai habis semua email-email lama Abah godek hehehe...

Godek punya godek, terjumpa la satu email dari Mak Long DDD bertarikh February 2007. Yer, tahun 2007... dah 8 tahun kot terperam huhuhu.

Dulu Abah ada satu blog post tajuknya RED RIDING HOOD (2007) RELEASED, tapi malangnya link gambar dalam post tu dah invalid. Dalam erti kata lain, gambarnya dah hilang dari website huhuhu...

Alhamdulillah, berkat kerajinan Abah hari ni... gambar-gambar yang sepatutnya berada dalam post tersebut telah dijumpai semula :-)





Plus, ada satu lagi attachment dari Mak Long yang asalnya file Microsoft Publisher dan telah converted kepada JPEG. Agak surprised, sebab dah 8 tahun baru hari ni dapat tengok apa dalam file tu (dulu-dulu takde converter hahaha).

Berpagian 1 Zulkaedah

1 Zulkaedah, 1 hari jugalah Syawal telah berlalu. Kebetulan pula hari Ahad, pagi yang baik untuk melepaskan tekanan dan lelah.

Alhamdulillah pagi ni dapat pergi ke satu lokasi yang boleh dikatakan baru, sesuai untuk merakamkan gambar sunrise dan sunset di sekitar Putrajaya. Mungkin tidak secantik di tempat-tempat tumpuan yang lain, tapi tetap dapat menyegarkan mata.

How to delete Account Picture in Windows 10

WordPress Images ERROR 404

Self note

Scenario: Getting reports saying most of Wordpress images ERROR 404. In fact, they are exists in /wp-content/uploads/* folders.

Solutions:

Failed — Disabled certain plugins, disabled all plugins, change uploads folder/files permission, modify .htaccess file, delete .htaccess file, change Permalinks settings to default, etc

Success — Switched the PHP Date Format in General Settings from Custom (D, M jS, Y) to Default F j, Y (e.g: August 10, 2015)

Linking (faking) a folder into OneDrive

In my case, I have a folder ("2015" in Pictures) which in a different partition. Installed OneDrive app, and I don't want to "move" the "2015" folder into "OneDrive\Pictures" as it will increase my C:\ drive usage.

So, here is how I did, basically it's like "faking" a folder in "OneDrive\Pictures"

Syntax: mklink [[/d] | [/h] | [/j]] <Link> <Target>

Example:

Link — "C:\Users\Hilman\OneDrive\Pictures\2015-link"

Target — "D:\Pictures\2015"

1. Run a CMD as Administrator


2. Type "mklink /j "C:\Users\Hilman\OneDrive\Pictures\2015-link" "D:\Pictures\2015"


3. A folder (fake) with name "2015-link" will be created in "C:\Users\Hilman\OneDrive\Pictures", thus will be sync into OneDrive online — You may notice the folder will look like a shortcut icon

What happen then? Well, whenever I saved a photo into "2015-link" folder it will actually save it into "D:\Pictures\2015"... and vise versa. Of course, it will not increase my C:\ drive usage.

Note(s):

1. Do not create the folder in Link, instead create it in CMD prompt. Otherwise, an error will appears saying "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Majlis Jamuan Hari Raya 2015

Setelah hampir enam tahun berkerja di area Kelana Jaya, ini kali pertama pergi ke Masjid Tengku Kelana untuk meraikan Majlis Jamuan Hari Raya bagi tahun 2015.

Pada mulanya tak terpikir jugak nak pergi ke majlis tu, tapi memandangkan restoran bawah office masih tutup bercuti... dan kebetulan ada jamuan... maka tergerak juga lah kaki menuju ke masjid bersama geng-geng dari office yang kebetulan berfikiran sama hehehe.

Alhamdulillah, rezeki hari ni dapat merasa macam-macam jenis masakan yang dihidangkan... sampaikan roti canai pon ada... semuanya sedap-sedap :-)

Disebalik cerita jamuan ni, sebenarnya telah berlangsung satu mesyuarat agung tahunan Masjid Tengku Kelana... tapi memandangkan ianya dijalankan pada waktu bekerja, maka hanya dapat hadir waktu makan je la :-)
