While looking into the course of kernel panics on my iMac, I found that two kexts relating to Avatron’s Air Display were in /System/Library/Extensions, despite the fact that I uninstalled Air Display using their bundled uninstaller a bit back. The two offending files are AVVideoCard.kext and AVFrameBuffer.kext. Simply moving them outside of the Extensions folder and rebooting is enough to get rid of them, and there doesn’t seem to be any ill effects.
We’ll see if that fixes the kernel panics.
I very quickly (and badly) hacked up Zahlan’s excellent Categories Images plugin to save image IDs rather than the absolute URL to the image file. This means we can use WordPress’ image resizing as well as its other image meta tools.
Download the categories-images plugin (zip)
Update (10 Oct 12): The first upload had a bit of code left in from my own use of the plugin that limited it to a certain taxonomy. I’ve removed it now so the plugin works on all taxonomies as it should.
The key points are:
This adds a class of the item’s name to each list item in a nav menu in WordPress. So, if the page item is called ‘About us’, the li gets an extra class of ‘menu-item-about-us’. Handy for styling.
add_filter('nav_menu_css_class' , 'ed_page_title_class' , 10 , 2);
function ed_page_title_class($classes, $item){
$classes[] = sanitize_title('menu-item-' . $item->title);
return $classes;
}
This WordPress function adds a body class ‘has-featured-image’ if the current post has a featured image assigned.
add_action('body_class', 'ed_if_featured_image_class' );
function ed_if_featured_image_class($classes) {
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
array_push($classes, 'has-featured-image');
}
return $classes;
}
Every now and then, when you try to open a media file, Windows Media Player does nothing for about 30 seconds and then comes up with this cryptic dialog box:
Luckily it’s easy to fix:
