whats the name of the plugin that will create a POT file for your theme?

I just want to generate a POT file for my theme so I can send it off to be translated

anything wrong with this:

add_filter( 'getarchives_where', 'sc_hi_rezz_getarchives_where', 10, 2 );
function sc_hi_rezz_getarchives_where( $where, $args ) {
    global $wpdb;
    if( isset( $args['post_type'] ) ) {
        return str_replace( "post_type = 'post'" , "post_type = '{$wpdb->escape( $args['post_type'] )}'" , $where );
    }
    return $where;
}

made that to allow wp_get_archives() to take post_type param

that way I can use the function to output CPT archives in sidebar

12:15 PM

has anyone here got a CPT to work the same way as posts?

cos I cannot get date archives working at all for my CPT

1:01 PM

@Rarst you there?

kinda

I need your opinion on something

previously I said this in chat:

in WP is it possible to get nav items to show selected status if on a single news item
I have the news page set to my page of posts
if I go to the news page the nav item gets the correct css class added to say im on the news page
but if I go to read a single post or go to an archive (selected category) the nav item loses its class
is there a way to retain this class on the menu?

I think I've found a way to rectify it but was wondering if the way ive done it is good enough

add_filter( 'nav_menu_css_class', 'sc_hi_rezz_nav_menu_css_class', 10, 3);
function sc_hi_rezz_nav_menu_css_class( $classes, $item, $args ) {

    static $post_type;
    static $on_pages;

    if( ! $post_type ) {
        $options = get_option( 'hi_rezz_theme_options' );
        $post_type = get_post_type();
        $on_pages = array(
            array(
                "page_id" => get_option( 'page_for_posts' ),
                "post_type" => "post"
            ),
            array(
                "page_id" => $options[ 'sc_cpt_cas_study_page' ],

basically I find what page ID is set for each of my post types (in this case just posts page and a page for case-studies

seems.... nicely indented. my brain hadn't gone on today yet

shame :(

Im not to worried about the code at the top because of static declaration so stops it running 100 times. But its the bottom time that will run every time a menu item is displayed

in my case there is 13 menu items on any one page so that foreach checking runs 13 times.

is that a significant load add?

hey @kaiser

@Brady jo

what you think to the above code?

ehm... pretty much same situation as @Rarst little braindamaged today

it's friday... in november... :)

@Brady: Where u use this: $options = get_option( 'hi_rezz_theme_options' );?

ah. found

2:02 PM

its where I store the page ID of the posts page for my CPT

create my CPT like this:

$options = get_option("hi_rezz_theme_options");
    $pagepermalink = get_permalink($options['sc_cpt_cas_study_page']);
    if($pagepermalink) {
        $home_url = home_url();
        $pagepermalink = ltrim(rtrim( str_replace( $home_url, "", $pagepermalink ), '/'), '/');
    } else {
        $pagepermalink = "case-studies";
    }

	$args = array(
		'labels' => $labels,
        'public' => true,
        'has_archive' => $pagepermalink,
		'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail'),
        'rewrite' => array(

so the permalink is based on the selected page

ahhh anyone know how to make date based archives work for a CPT
