Extract Image From WordPress Post

This will extract an image from a wordpress post. You can use it in the loop with get_content() or get_excerpt(). There are a hundred other different uses for something like this as well. Good snippet to have.

// Pull first image thumbnail from post if none exist, default to a category image.
//
// Required:
$pattern = '/]+src[\\s=\'"]';
$pattern .= '+([^"\'>\\s]+)/is';
// Optional:
$style = "height:50px;width:60px;margin-top:15px;";
$defaultImgURL = "http://www.yoursite.com/image/url.png";
$imgAlt = "Alt Text Here";
$imgID = "";
$imgName = "";
// If we have an Image ...
if(preg_match($pattern,get_the_content(),$match)) {
	echo "";
// If there is no img Tag ...
} else {
	echo "";
}
// Thats it!

Site Update

I have been working on a few customizations for the site. You will notice some appearance changes, and some more content. I don’t have much time lately to do a lot of the changes all at once, so you will notice them slowly appear. I have a database application in development right now, and it takes most of my time.

*UPDATE 4/27/2010: I have added jQuery and a few choice libraries to the load. All are working as of this update. As you can see these posts are now rounded, and collapsable. I love building this WordPress Template from the ground up. Gives me so many more design/style options. I can’t wait till its all done though!

Change iPhone Carrier Name

First off, this hint will only work on iPhones that have been “jailbroken”. For more information on “jailbreaking” your iPhone, please visit the unofficial iPhone Dev Team’s Blog.

Check out “MakeItMine” app under Cydia. This application is a must for tweakers, as it changes your carrier name. Once the app is installed, and you have made the change, you can remove the app, and your custom setting remains.

Have fun!
