So I’ve had a lot of awesome feedback for the “Draw Something Cool” bit that I’ve added to my Contact Form. It’s in actuality just the Signature add-on for GravityForms!
That being said, here are some of the best images that I’ve had people submit through it thus far:
A handy MySQL query to check a Magento DB for potential duplicate orders!
SELECT `quote_id`, COUNT(`quote_id`) AS `qty_duplicates`, `increment_id` AS `first_increment_id`, GROUP_CONCAT( `increment_id` SEPARATOR ' | ' ) AS `increment_ids`, `created_at`, `state`, `status`, `customer_firstname`, `customer_lastname`, `customer_email`, `grand_total` FROM `sales_flat_order` GROUP BY `quote_id` HAVING COUNT(`quote_id`) > 1 ORDER BY `created_at` ASC
Here’s how to do it!
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_query_mods' );
function my_query_mods( $query ){
if( is_admin() ) return;
if( is_main_query() && is_home() )
$query->set( 'post_type', 'texture' );
}
Why not just use a normal page?
Oh, sure, you want a dynamically loading list of the categories.
Try this on for size:
add_shortcode( 'taxonomy-list', 'my_taxonomy_list' );
function my_taxonomy_list( $atts ) {
$args = shortcode_atts( array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'title_li' => '',
'depth' => 1,
'hide_empty' => 1,
), $atts );
ob_start();
?>
<ul class="taxonomy-list taxonomy-<?php echo $args['taxonomy']; ?>-list" data-taxonomy="<?php echo $args['taxonomy']; ?>">
<?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
</ul>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
So I got a bit irked the other day when looking to sort out what sort of method I’d like to use for putting snow on a website. All the options just looked bad. Some were using images (which I’d prefer to avoid) — others were using crazy javascript hijinks. I figured there’d have to be a simpler way.
So I wrote one. It’s not perfect, and it’s not quite a ‘drop-in’ (read: you’ll need to test it before pushing it live. Tweak the speed, height, etc to your heart’s content). It was originally written to only put snow in the header of the site — not over the whole page.

Enjoy! Any questions about implementation are welcome!
