Usage

The plugin looks for a value in a custom field called static_map_address

If this field is left empty nothing will display.  If you enter a full address into it a static google map of the address will display at the bottom of the post or page with a link that, when clicked, displays a small form so the reader can get directions to the location.  Check out the example below on this post!

As I was unwrapping our burritos from one of our new favorite SF taquerias, Papalote, I noticed a flyer in the bag about Papalote’s future appearance on the Food Network show Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Needless to say I was pretty stoked that a local place that I like was going to be on the tubez.

Dude, serious burrito girth!  It’s going to air on Wednesday, February 17 at 9pm and midnight.

Here’s what we’re going for:

Download the Plugins

Download and install/activate the XSPF Music Player plugin and this Simple Popup plugin.

Create Page Template

Create a page template to be used for the page that you intend to popup.  This should be very minimal, ie no sidebar, navigation, etc.  You basically just want an empty page with maybe a background color and possibly some links associated with your music (facebook, myspace,…).

The XSPF Player plugin requires you to add this tag in the body of this template for the player to show:

<?php xspf_player::start('playlistname'); ?>

For info on creating a page template see the Wordpress documentation.  If you like you can download this music player popup page template which already contains the XSPF Player tag and place it in your current theme’s folder for it to work.

Create New Page

Create a new page (not page template) in Wordpress with no text in the body and choose the page template you just created from the template pull-down menu.

Link it Up

Using the Simple Popup Plugin shortcode, template tag, or widget create a link to your newly created page wherever you desire.  Set the dimensions for the pop up in the Simple Popup Plugin’s options page.

And that’s it!  Ain’t no thang.

Oh yea, and I’m hungry but nothing’s open.  Weak!  I am being held without food at the Pudong airport, tell everyone you know!

Make a <div class=”double_column_list”> and put a <ul> in it with some list items.   Set the <li> class to display at 50% width and float it to the left.

CSS

.double_column_list li {float: left; width: 50%;} 

HTML

<div class="double_column_list">
<ul>
<li>Awesome Stuff</li>
<li>Awesome Stuff</li>
<li>Awesome Stuff</li>
<li>Awesome Stuff</li>
</ul>
</div>

Boosh, 2 column unordered lists.
