Find a resume template that you like and can work with. Stick to the general outline but edit to fit your best credentials and accolades. It’s an advantage to have a large collection of templates to choose from to give as many options as possible. You can also utilize different formats and see which you like best. Make sure you have someone who can proof read for grammar and spelling.

What’s great about specific job resume templates is that they give you a targeted outline to work with. For example: A Marketing resume template might include headings like Entertainment and Media, Marketing and Advertising, Sales, Business, and Promotional Development, Business and Project Management. The things associated with marketing that will encourage you to think about what you have to offer a new company.

A good practice is to develop two resumes with different formats and then pass them around to family and friends for opinions.

10 Useful WordPress Coding Snippets And Hacks

admin — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:55:31 +0000

Here are useful code snippets and hacks that will help you extend the capabilities of your WordPress site, and of course save your time.

Auto Generated select Menu For Shortcode

This snippet automatically generated select menu list of your shortcodes.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'wpse3882_after_setup_theme' );
function wpse3882_after_setup_theme()
{
    add_editor_style();
}

add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'wpse3882_mce_buttons_2');
function wpse3882_mce_buttons_2($buttons)
{
    array_unshift($buttons, 'styleselect');
    return $buttons;
}

add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'wpse3882_tiny_mce_before_init');
function wpse3882_tiny_mce_before_init($settings)
{
    $settings['theme_advanced_blockformats'] = 'p,h1,h2,h3,h4';

    // From http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/example_24.php
    $style_formats = array(
        array('title' => 'Bold text', 'inline' => 'b'),
        array('title' => 'Red text', 'inline' => 'span', 'styles' => array('color' => '#ff0000')),
        array('title' => 'Red header', 'block' => 'h1', 'styles' => array('color' => '#ff0000')),
        array('title' => 'Example 1', 'inline' => 'span', 'classes' => 'example1'),
        array('title' => 'Example 2', 'inline' => 'span', 'classes' => 'example2'),
        array('title' => 'Table styles'),
        array('title' => 'Table row 1', 'selector' => 'tr', 'classes' => 'tablerow1'),
    );
    // Before 3.1 you needed a special trick to send this array to the configuration.
    // See this post history for previous versions.
    $settings['style_formats'] = json_encode( $style_formats );

    return $settings;
}

Add/remove contact info fields

User profiles in WordPress by default have these fields for Contact Info by default: E-mail, Website, AIM, Yahoo IM, Jabber / Google Talk. You can remove those and add new ones as you wish, like in this example code for your functions.php file in your theme:


function new_contactmethods( $contactmethods ) {
   $contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter'; // Add Twitter
   $contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook'; // Add Facebook
   unset($contactmethods['yim']); // Remove YIM
   unset($contactmethods['aim']); // Remove AIM
   unset($contactmethods['jabber']); // Remove Jabber

   return $contactmethods;
}

To display that publicly, you could:


$user_id = 1;
$key = 'twitter';
$single = true;

$user_twitter = get_user_meta( $user_id, $key, $single); 

echo $user_twitter;

source

Check if post has more than one image attached

Pretty simple if statement, to check if the post has more than one image display a slider, else display the single image.


 'attachment',
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'post_parent' => $post->ID
    ));
if(count($attachments) > 1) { ?>

source

Get custom field value with shortcode

Adding this PHP code to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will enable you to get custom field values using shortcode.


add_shortcode('field', 'shortcode_field');
function shortcode_field($atts){
     extract(shortcode_atts(array(
                  'post_id' => NULL,
               ), $atts));
  if(!isset($atts[0])) return;
       $field = esc_attr($atts[0]);
       global $post;
       $post_id = (NULL === $post_id) ? $post->ID : $post_id;
       return get_post_meta($post_id, $field, true);
}

then add shortcode in the post


[field "my_key"]
[field "my_key" post_id=1]

Expanding code box (customized)

This is a customized version of Chris Coyier’s expanding code box posted at DigWP.com some time ago.


$(function(){
	$('article.category-code pre').hover(function(){
		var codeInnerWidth = $('code',this).width() + 15;
		if(codeInnerWidth > 475){
			$(this).stop(true,false).css({'overflow-x':'scroll'}).animate({width:860},{'duration':'fast','easing':'swing'});
			$('#sidebar').css({'opacity':'0.5'});
		}else if(codeInnerWidth > 860){
			$(this).stop(true,false).css({'overflow':'auto'}).animate({width:860},{'duration':'fast','easing':'swing'});
			$('#sidebar').css({'opacity':'0.5'});
		}
	},function(){
		$(this).stop(true,false).css({'overflow':'hidden'}).animate({width:475},{'duration':'fast','easing':'swing'});
		$('#sidebar').css({'opacity':'1.0'});
	});
});

Another expanding code box script…


$('pre').hover(function(){
		$(this).stop().animate({width:890},300).css({'overflow-x':'scroll'});
		$('#sidebar').css({'opacity':'0.5'});
	},function(){
		$(this).stop().animate({width:550},300).css({'overflow-x':'scroll'});
	$('#sidebar').css({'opacity':'1.0'});
});
$('pre').hover(function(){
	var codeInnerWidth = $('code',this).width() + 10;
	if(codeInnerWidth > 555){
		$(this).stop().animate({width:890},300).css({'overflow-x':'scroll'});
		$('#sidebar').css({'opacity':'0.5'});
	}
},function(){
	$(this).stop().animate({width:555},300).css({'overflow-x':'auto'});
		$('#sidebar').css({'opacity':'1.0'});
	});
});

Adding a custom post type to your site’s main feed.

function add_cpt_to_feed( $qv ) {
  if ( isset($qv['feed']) && !isset($qv['post_type']) )

  return $qv;
}

add_filter( 'request', 'add_cpt_to_feed' );
