After doing a restart of MAMP PRO, MySQL was loading, but didn’t load. None of the settings were accessible, even after I killed everything and restarted it. This happens when you add a new “host”, and don’t specify the file-path (“Disc Location”). To get out of the loop here is what you have to do:

1. Start MAMP PRO
2. Open Terminal
3. Enter: /Applications/MAMP/bin/stop.sh

Whola! 

I really hope I will be able to publish it soon. Until then, – I’ve made the first (out of 3) screencast on Blankwork. This one is a “teaster trailer” kind of a video. I’m not doing much of explaining here, I’m rather just doing a quick show&tell how blankwork works.

Any feedback is very welcome on the video, so tell me if you have any thoughts about it .

Baiscally what it does it turns:

<option value="99">Awesome Number</option>
<option value="100">Top Number</option>

Awesome Number is 99
Top Number is 100

Unfortenatley Internet Explorer 6 and 7 doesn’t support them. I am very thankful that I found a Javascript Fix for that, so I wanted to share.

This little awesome JavaScript not only fixes that, but a whole bunch of unsupported things in IE.

For example, an else if statement list with opening PHP tags every time, repeating same text and adding comments in between. In my code editor it looked like one big rainbow. An example (which is short and a bit more readable):

<?php /* If this is a category */ if (is_category()) { ?>
 <h2>Archive for category &#8216;<?php single_cat_title(); ?>&#8217; Category</h2>

 <?php /* If this is a tag */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
 <h2>Archive for tag &#8216;<?php single_tag_title(); ?>&#8217;</h2>

I like when everything is clear and easy readable even in code. of course you can dig-through anything, but I made this little snippet just for those, who want a little more clean archives code.

So, I made my own little snippet, which is a bit more Designer friendly, here you go:

<?php if (have_posts()):the_post() ?>

 <?php
 // Switch Archive Names
 // If a category, set Category title
 if(is_category()):
 $return = single_term_title("", false)." Category";

 elseif (is_tag()):
 $return = single_term_title("", false)." Tag";

 elseif (is_day()):
 $return = the_time('F jS, Y');

 elseif (is_month()):
 $return = the_time('F, Y');

 elseif (is_year()):
 $return = the_time('Y');

 elseif (is_author()):
 $return = "Author: ".get_the_author();

 else:
 $return = "s";

 endif;
 rewind_posts();

 // If there is something to return, add a "for" before
 // For example "Blog Category " to "for Blog Category"
 // When Return is displayed, it should look like:
 // "Archive for Blog Category"
 // -or-
 // "Archive for Author: admin
 if($return != NULL) $return = " for ".$return;
 ?>
 <h2>Archive<?php echo $return ?></h2>
