Find Your Computer Driver Easily

During several months having new PC, I was not aware of my operating system security. I did install anti virus, but after a while, my anti virus is not up-to-date. This causes my PC is infected with some virus, so I have to reinstall my operating system.

I tried to install my operating system. Replace the old Windows XP with the new Windows Vista. Because I think Windows Vista is more powerful than XP. And I hope Windows Vista is more resistant to virus attacks than XP.

The installation went smoothly until the time to install driver. I cannot find computer driver that match with my new operating system. After googling around, I find a site that provide the application that can scan our system then find the correct driver. The application has a huge database of computer driver with driver updates for many operating system.

Add Custom Column To Media Page

How do you get full image URL in Media Library? I bet you will go through this step:

  1. Go to Media » Library
  2. On Media Library list, click file name.
  3. Form Edit Media appeared. Select File URL and use it.

For single image operation, this should be enough. But, if you did have a lot of pictures, this operation would be very annoying. For this, I have a simple solution. With a few lines of code that later summarized into a plugin. Then you will have a way to access the images directly from the Media Library.

Get Only n Words From String

Here's the code:

function trim_word( $words, $howmany = 1){
	$x = explode(" ", $words);
	if(count( $x) <=$howmany ){
		return $words;
	} else {
		return implode(" ", array_slice( $x, 0, $howmany));
	}
}

Here's the output:

$words = "this is string that is long enough that I want to trim it.";

echo trim_word($words, 10) . "\n";
//this will echo: this is string that is long enough that I want

UPDATE:

Adsense under Image: Reloaded

A few month ago, my friend Jauhari contacted me, asking specific question about a wordpress plugin called Adsense Under Image. At that time, I crawl the code and though that it would be cool if it can have multiple images and or set randomly where the adsense code appeared. I try to contact the developer to submit my idea. But, the website listed is dead and the plugin itself is now aged more than 2 years. Now became dead site:(.
