One of my client faced issue with Autor drop down which is in Admin section.
Display the authors in dropdown menu using hooks.
While creating the New post there was problem with the Author field. There are hundreds of irrelevant selections (users) and it’s difficult to select the right one.
WordPress is by default showing all the users in author drop down. I don’t want to show the other users in author drop down.
Hook/Filter – In wordpress Admin -Add new Post section -Display the authors in a dropdown menu using wp_dropdown_users One of my client faced issue with Autor drop down which is in Admin section. Display the authors in a dropdown menu using hooks
I searched for wp_dropdown_users hook or filter. But I did not found any proper solution.
Following articles are found helpful to me.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-for-post-quick-edit-author-drop-down
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_users
Using that code I modified the code and I am able to fix the issue. You can put following code in to functions.php file.
/*
* Hook for showing Admin and Author in Add new Post - Admin section dropdown menu
*/
function wpapi_override_wp_dropdown_users($output) {
global $post, $user_ID;
//get the Admin-role users IDs
$admins = getUsersWithRole('admin');
//get the author-role users IDs
$authors = getUsersWithRole('author');
//merge the array
$result = array_merge($admins, $authors);
//array converted into comma seprated string
$authorsall = implode(",", $result);
// return if this isn't the theme author override dropdown
if (!preg_match('/post_author_override/', $output))
return $output;
// return if we've already replaced the list (end recursion)
if (preg_match('/post_author_override_replaced/', $output))
return $output;
// replacement call to wp_dropdown_users
$output = wp_dropdown_users(array(
'echo' => 0,
'name' => 'post_author_override_replaced',
'selected' => empty($post->ID) ? $user_ID : $post->post_author,
'include_selected' => true,
'include' => $authorsall
));
// put the original name back
$output = preg_replace('/post_author_override_replaced/', 'post_author_override', $output);
return $output;
}
add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'wpapi_override_wp_dropdown_users');
/*
* Find User IDs by Role
*/
function getUsersWithRole($role) {
$wp_user_search = new WP_User_Search($usersearch, $userspage, $role);
return $wp_user_search->get_results();
}
Using above code, you can load multiple role users in author drop down.
Smiles and emoticons are always important show your expressions in short way. Earlier also I posted articles about same. Here is link about that. here in this article written about animated smileys. I given very detailed information to use animated smileys and emoticons in wordpress. animated smilyes and emotions are used everywhere now in mobile device.
use animated smileys and emoticons in wordpress
By default wordpress supports some basic emoticons. Here I can suggest some very cool wordpress plugins.
Kaskus Emoticons is an emoticon set inspired by Kaskus, the Largest Indonesian Community – consisting of over a million active members from all over the world. The images which are used in this plugin are copyright of Kaskus
Speedy Smilies takes emoticons in WordPress to the next level (where it should be already and hopefully one day will). The end goal is to make smilies load faster in the browser for visitors and make them easy to insert into posts/pages for authors. In addition to the speed benefits, Speedy Smilies allows authors to easily change the appearance of emoticons using smiley sets.
Speedy Smilies is free software licensed under the GNU GPL version 3.
Tango Smileys Extended
Tango Smileys Extended (TSE) disables the built-in WordPress smileys and extends the number of available smileys from 18 to 202. The extended smileys can be input using standard emoticon shorthand, or through the CTI (Click to Insert) interface. Smileys in comments is supported and may be inserted using the standard emoticon shorthand or through the CTI interface. MCEComments is also supported.
This version of Tango Smileys Extended is for WordPress 2.8+
WordPress versions pre-2.8 are no longer supported. If you are using WordPress 2.7.x, please use Tango Smileys Extended 2.5.4.1. WordPress 2.6.x and earlier are only supported in versions of Tango Smileys Extended older than, and including, 2.5.2.8.
This addon will add a button to your visual tinymce editor for posts/pages. Clicking the button will open a popup window with over 50 professionally animated .gif smiley’s.
You can insert these smiley’s into your post/page content areas. Simply click a smiley, and it is automatically inserted into your content area.
Replaces WordPress’ smileys (based on images) with font-based emoticons (see screenshots). Font-based emoticons have some advantages:
They have the same size as the surrounding text. No more distorting the heights of lines containing smileys/emoticons. They always fit the font size.
They have the same color as the surrounding text.
The following emoticons are supported:
:):-):smile:
:(:-(:sad:
;);-):wink:
:P:-P:razz:
-.--_-:sleep:
:thumbs::thumbsup:

Notes: * Emoticons must be surrounded with spaces (or other white space characters); e.g. the emoticon in that:)smile won’t be replaced * Emoticons won’t be replaced in HTML tags nor in <pre> or <code> blocks.
