• a function to be added to the teme
• a piece of code to add to one or more templates(s) of the theme
• an extra field to fill in for each post or page by the editor of the website

The function

Add this to functions.php in your theme. It is based on the vimeo shortcode plugin for WordPress.

function insert_vimeo($clip_id) {
   $width = '640';
   $height = '360';
   if (empty($clip_id) || !is_numeric($clip_id)) return '<!-- Vimeo: Invalid clip_id -->';
   if ($height && !$width) $width = intval($height * 16 / 9);
   if (!$height && $width) $height = intval($width * 9 / 16);
   return "<iframe src='http://player.vimeo.com/video/$clip_id?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0'
           width='$width' height='$height' frameborder='0'></iframe>";
}

The piece of code for your template :

Put this in single.php or page.php, within the loop.

<?php
if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'vimeo', true) ) :
    $vimeo = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'vimeo', true);
    echo (insert_vimeo($vimeo));
endif;
?>

Now you just have to add an extra field called « vimeo » to your posts or pages and add as a value the ID of the clip, that means the numbers in the URL. If, for example, you want to add the video at http://vimeo.com/20732587 you would add 20732587 to the value of your field.

Here I am considering that we update some files every now and then and we want those updates  to appear in a dynamic RSS feed. In order to do so save the following code as a file called « rss.php », edit it to suit your needs and then upload it to your site. You may access the file like this : http://example.com/rss.php.

How does it work?

We declare the files we want to have in our PHP file in an array. We will use the last modification time of each of these files, filter out the <title> and contents and then create the feed.

(By the way, if you want this to work on PHP4 you will have to replace the html_entity_decode function otherwise it will not function.)

The code

Le magasin AC Matière vend des peintures et des éléments décoratifs originaux.
Dans le cadre d’une restructuration du site web, conçu en 2005, toujours en collaboration avec design ex machina, nous sommes aussi revenus sur le développement original du site web. Le site a maintenant des URLs propres et peut être mis à jour plus facilement. Le graphisme original de design ex machina a été légèrement modifié.

Für die Pariser Galerie « Air de Paris » habe ich ein einfaches System entwickelt, das es erlaubt öffentliche und halböffentliche Dokumente und Dokumentationen über die Künstler der Galerie zum Download bereitzustellen. Über ein Administrationsinterface können Paßwörter generiert werden, sowie Zugangsbeschränkungen für einzelne Verzeichnisse erstellt und editiert werden.
