Caching Your WordPress Sidebar

Before we can write our function, we need to understand exactly what we’re trying to do. Our goal is to cache our sidebar to a text file and update that cache whenever we publish a post, change our theme or make changes to the sidebar widgets. Since we’re planning on using our cache to display the sidebar on a different application, we need to be able to easily delete the cache without any ill-effects (we don’t want our sidebar broken at any time).
To accomplish this efficiently, we’ll also create a log of our cached files and use that to determine whether the cache should be cleared. If so, the actual cache file will be overwritten the next time someone visits the WordPress site, ensuring a proper sidebar is always rendered on both applications.

Creating the Functions

To get started, open up your theme’s functions.php file and add the following functions to it:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. function cache($task, $cacheFile, $cacheTime = 21600){  
2.     global $cache;  
3.   
4.     // Configure files and directories:  
5.     $cacheDir = TEMPLATEPATH."/cache";  
6.     $cacheFileName = $cacheDir."/cache-$cacheFile.txt";  
7.     $cacheLogFile = $cacheDir."/cache-log.txt";  
8.   
9.     // Make cache directory if it doesn't exist  
10.     if(!is_dir($cacheDir)) mkdir($cacheDir, 0755);  
11.   
12.     // Make a log of the cache files with their current status  
13.     if(file_exists($cacheLogFile))  
14.     $cacheLog = unserialize(file_get_contents($cacheLogFile));  
15.     else  
16.     $cacheLog = array();  
17.   
18.     if($task == 'start'){ 
19.         // If cache exists, is less than 6 hours old and is not in deletion queue, keep it - otherwise rebuild cache 
20.         if(file_exists($cacheFileName) && (time() - filemtime($cacheFileName)) < $cacheTime && $cacheLog[$cacheFile] == 1){ 
21.             $cache = false; 
22.             } else { 
23.             $cache = true; 
24.             ob_start(); 
25.         } 
26.         }elseif($task == 'end' && $cache){ 
27.         // If caching, save file contents and update log 
28.         file_put_contents($cacheFileName,ob_get_contents()); 
29.         ob_end_flush(); 
30.         $cacheLog[$cacheFile] = 1; 
31.         file_put_contents($cacheLogFile,serialize($cacheLog)); 
32.         }elseif($task == 'purge'){  
33.         // Set cache to delete and update log  
34.         $cacheLog[$cacheFile] = 0;  
35.         file_put_contents($cacheLogFile,serialize($cacheLog));  
36.     }  
37.   
38. }  
39. function cache_purge(){  
40.     $cacheDir = TEMPLATEPATH."/cache";  
41.     $cacheLogFile = $cacheDir."/cache-log.txt";  
42.     if(file_exists($cacheLogFile))  
43.     $cacheLog = unserialize(file_get_contents($cacheLogFile));  
44.     else  
45.     $cacheLog = array();  
46.     foreach($cacheLog as $key=>$value)  
47.     $cacheLog[$key] = 0;  
48.     file_put_contents($cacheLogFile,serialize($cacheLog));  
49. }  

These first function, cache, is the key to getting our cache to work. Depending on where in your file you call it, the function will set up the correct files and directories, verify a cache needs to be built and if so, will save the output and update the cache log. The function uses PHP’s output buffering to save any HTML generated into a text file.
The second function is used to purge all cache files and is useful for adding to existing WordPress hooks. With it, we can make it so our cache is cleared every time our theme is updated, a post is saved or our sidebar widgets are updated by adding the following at the end of functions.php:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. add_action('switch_theme','cache_purge', 10);  
2. add_action('publish_post','cache_purge', 10);  
3. add_filter('widget_update_callback','cache_purge', 10);  

For a full list of hooks, check out the WordPress Plugin API Reference.

Configuring Your Sidebar

Now that you have the functions ready, you can begin caching your sidebar. Open up your sidebar.php and add this line to the beginning of the file:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <?php cache('start', 'sidebar'); ?>  

This function will start caching the sidebar it needs to, otherwise it will do nothing. Because of the way the PHP output buffering function works, we also need to close off the buffer at the end of the file as well. Add this line to the very bottom of the same file:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <?php cache('end', 'sidebar'); ?>  

After you’ve added those two lines, refresh your blog. You won’t see anything in your browser but check the /cache directory in your theme folder and you should see two files starting with cache-.

Using Your Cache

Now that you’ve created your cache file, you can use it in any application that has access to it. You can easily do this using the include_once function but I also like making sure the file exists, just to be safe:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <?php  
2.     $myCachedFile = "/path/to/cache-sidebar.txt";  
3.     if(file_exists($myCachedFile))  
4.     include_once($myCachedFile);  
5.     else  
6.     echo "Cache doesn't exist.";  
7. ?>  

Just be sure to double-check your file path is correct. If you want to set your cache to delete from an external application, you’ll have to include the cache_purge function in your script somewhere and simply call that whenever necessary. After that it’s simply a matter of calling the function:

1. <?php purge_cache(); ?>  

Conclusion

This technique is really useful for any PHP application, especially when you want to display dynamic content without having to sacrifice performance. Use it to speed up your WordPress install or be able to use useful bits (like the sidebar) on any other website or application.

10 Tips & Tricks For Your Business’s Facebook Fan Page

Facebook is one the fastest growing social media network and its users are increasing by thousands every day. Due to its vast base of users, it takes no effort to acknowledge its influence and any company will jump on the bandwagon to utilize Facebook because it allows them to boost their brands or products also in the same time engage with possible clients. It is convenient for a company to create a Facebook page, publish their profile and products however, setting up a Facebook page that receive many "likes" and a huge fan base is never an easy task.

What is the first thing a visitor will see when they land on your Facebook page? Most of them will probably click on the “wall” or the “info” and if nothing is more fascinating than that, chances are they will leave your page. It is an advantage when visitors "like" your page and become a fan is because they will be updated from time to time with latest things you published. With the Static FBML application which render HTML and FBML on Facebook Pages you are now given more options to design your Facebook page.
I am sure some of you have stumble upon Facebook page that makes you wonder “How is that even possible?!” Now it can be possible. In this post I hope I’ve successfully covered some tips and tricks to give your Facebook page a boost.

1 – "Call-To-Action" Graphic

More of a piece of advice than a trick. The main purpose of your Facebook landing page is to convert visitors into fans. Place a clear call-to-action graphic in the landing tab, this will help getting more "Likes" from your visitors.
Example: RedBull’s "Red Bull" tab has nothing but a call-to-action on it.

2 – Embedding YouTube Video

An image is needed whenever you place a video because Facebook does not allow you to run flash instantly, you need to launch it with a click, until then you see the picture instead.

You can use YouTube generated picture like in this code, or you can put your own URL with your custom picture.
The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <fb:swf  
2. swfbgcolor="000000" imgstyle="border-width:3px; border-color:white;"  
3. swfsrc='http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxxxx'  
4. imgsrc='http://img.youtube.com/vi/xxxxxxxxxx/2.jpg' width='340' height='270' />  

Code explanation:

• swfsrc – video source URL;
• imgsrc – image source URL;
• xxxxxxxxxx – YouTube code.

xxxxxxxxxx is taken out of YouTube video URL like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJwbGPXMapA (it’s the part after ?v=).

3 – Hiding content from non-fans

This can be use as a teaser to encourage visitors to "Like" your page and become a fan.

The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <fb:fbml version="1.1">  
2.     <fb:visible-to-connection>This part is visible for fans only!  
3.         <fb:else>This part is visible for non-fans</fb:else>  
4.     </fb:visible-to-connection>  
5. </fb:fbml>  

Code explanation:

• fb:visible-to-connect – the part that only your fans will see;
• fb:else – the part for non-fans.

Most of the pages use an image with a call-to-action for a fb:else tag, and the page itself goes under the fb:visible-to-connect. That’s really easy to do, and very powefrul.

4 – Products commenting

This feature is great for setting a little store under your Facebook business page as you can have each of your products liked and commented.

The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <fb:comments xid="YOUR_PRODUCT_UNIQUE_ID_#1" canpost="true" showform="true" candelete="false" numposts="3" returnurl="http://YOUR_PRODUCT_HOME_URL">  
2. </fb:comments>  

Code explanation:

• xid – unique identifier of the item you put comments on;
• returnurl – the URL, to which likes and comments will stick.

The rest of the parameters is used to configure the plugin itself and are pretty self-explanatory.
Learn more about fb:comments

5 – Insert "Share Button"

With this button you can have Facebookers share almost anything. Put the URL you wish to share in the code and once a person uses the Share button, all his friends will see this URL in their news feed.

The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <fb:share-button class="meta">  
2.     <link rel="target_url" href="http://yoururl.com"/>  
3. </fb:share-button>  

(Somehow the documentation of this FBML tag is no longer available. I really hope they won’t turn off this great plugin.)

6 – Insert Flash Content

The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <fb:swf swfbgcolor="000000" swfsrc='http://domain.com/file.swf' imgsrc='http://domain.com/picture.jpg' width='760' height='920' />  

Code explanation:

• swfsrc – source of the .swf file;
• imgsrc – source of the image that is being displayed, before you flash.

Remember that you need a preview image which people will see before they launch Flash.

7 – Image Rollover

People can go rather creative about this trick, but it’s really simple to do with HTML + CSS, which is supported by FBML box.

The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <style>  
2.     img.nohover {border:0}  
3.     img.hover {border:0;display:none}  
4.     a:hover img.hover {display:inline}  
5.     a:hover img.nohover {display:none}  
6. </style>  
7.   
8. <a href="THIS IS WHERE YOUR LINK GOES">  
9.     <img src="base_image.jpg" class="nohover">  
10.     <img src="hover_image.jpg" class="hover">  
11. </a>  

8 – Track with Google Analytics

Facebook analytics system has limited information? No problem! You can set Google Analytics on your Facebook page.

Just create up a new account in Google Analytics using your Facebook page URL, copy your UA-XXXXXXX-XX number and insert it here:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <fb:google-analytics uacct="UA-9999999-99" />  

Place this line at the top of your FBML code and in a couple of hours you’ll see stats in Google Analytics.

9 – Add "Invite your friends" box

This is basically a standalone box, which is really hard to embed to a page design. However this is probably the best solution for a page footer that you can think of, as your visitors can instantly choose some of their friends and send them invitations to your page.

The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <fb:request-form method="post" type="[your organization]" invite="true" content="Check out [your organization]<fb:req-choice url='http://www.facebook.com/YOURPAGE' ' label='GO' /> ">  
2.     <fb:multi-friend-selector actiontext="Tell your friends about [your organization]" rows="3" showborder="true" />  
3. </fb:request-form>  

Since the pages were shrunk to 520px there’s a little trouble with this box, as it’s still 760px. But I’m sure somebody has already reported that and the box will be shrunk too.

10 – Pop-up dialog

If there’s too much content on your page, you can hide some parts of it under the pop-up boxes. The code adds a text link, which results in a pop-up dialog text box.

The code:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <a clicktoshowdialog="dialog-name" href="#" >Click here to launch the pop-up dialog</a>.  
2.   
3. <fb:dialog id="dialog-name">  
4. <fb:dialog-title>POP-UP DIALOG NAME</fb:dialog-title>  
5. <fb:dialog-content>Here goes your pop-up dialog content</fb:dialog-content>  
6. <fb:dialog-button type="submit" value="Close" close_dialog="1" /></fb:dialog><br>

This was a basic set of tricks which you can use to pimp your page easily. Hope you are now inspired to make a compelling Facebook business page for yourself. Good luck!

How to Display Facebook Fan Count in Text

Adding a Facebook Like Button on your website or blog is perhaps one of the easiest and most effective way to get more fans and earn more likes. If you have hundreds, thousand or perhaps tens of thousand of fans, it might be a good idea to publish a fan count. Fan count displays in numeric text total fans your Facebook page has, or rather, how many have liked your page.

The technique is simple and very similar to displaying Google feedcount in text. The only difference is – we will be using Facebook’s API. In this post, we want to show you how it can be done so you can add them into your WordPress blog or PHP powered website. Load up your favorite code editor, here we go.

Step 1 – Get API Key, Application Secret & Page ID

These are the three mandatory information you’ll need to get things started.
API Key and Application Secret

1. Sign in to your Facebook and click on Developer‘s link on the site bar. (If you don’t have a Developer’s account, you will have to sign up for one first)
   
2. Click "Set Up New Application". Enter any application name, agree to the Facebook terms and click "Create Application". Note: We are not going to create a real application, but we’ll need to go through these processes to get a API Key and Application Secret.
   
3. On the next page, you should be able to see your personal API Key and Application Secret. Copy it down somewhere or leave the browser window open.
   

Page ID
Page ID is the ID of your Facebook Fan Page. If you don’t have a Facebook Fan page, you’ll have to first create one. To get the ID of your Fan page, click edit page, and look for your ID (numbers) at the end of the URL – http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=XXXXXXXXX

Step 2 – Get Facebook.php

You’ll also need the Facebook API PHP SDK file called Facebook.php. Download it, and place it in the root of your folder. Learn more about Facebook PHP SDK.

Step 3 – Display Fancount

To show off your fancount, place the following code in your php file,

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <?php  
2. require_once('facebook.php');  
3. $facebook = new Facebook(array(  
4.     'appId'  => 'app_id',  
5.     'secret' => 'secret_key',  
6.     'cookie' => true,  
7. ));  
8. $result = $facebook->api(array(  
9.     'method' => 'fql.query',  
10.     'query' => 'select fan_count from page where page_id = page_id;'  
11. ));  
12. $fb_fans = $result[0]['fan_count'];  
13. ?>  

And then you will want to edit the codes to change the following:

• Line 4 – Replace app_id with your Facebook Application ID.
• Line 5 – Replace secret_key with Secret.
• Line 10 – Replace the last page_id with your Facebook Fanpage ID.

Please refer to Step 1 on how to get app_id, secret_key and page_id.
To display the fancount, insert this following code anywhere in the page:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <?php echo $fb_fans; ?>  

That’s all. Style your fancount and make it attractive. See a working example on Psdeluxe‘s top right corner.
