How to remove title attributes from the WordPress page list
If you work with WordPress then must have noticed that the function wp_list_pages generates a list where each element gets a title attribute added automatically. This isn’t bad but most browsers will try helping us showing a small tolltip when we hover the mouse over the link and we designers don’t want that kind of behaviour.
To solve this problem we will require some help or regular expressions. If you don’t know what they are don’t worry, simply use the code and see it doing its magic.
The second line is the one that does the trick. It strips title attributes and leeps our list tidy.
Hope you find it useful.
How to get top-level page in WordPress
Sometimes in WordPress you need to find the name or ID of the top-level page or post. This is actually pretty easy.
$parents = array_reverse(get_post_ancestors($post->ID));
$firstparent = get_page($parents[0]);
echo $firstparent->post_name;
echo $firstparent->ID;
$firstparent = get_page($parents[0]);
echo $firstparent->post_name;
echo $firstparent->ID;
Hope this helps.
3D without glasses
Now here’s something cool and freaky. An experiment that shows the ability to view images or video in 3D without the use of glasses. The method simulates 3D Active Shutter Glasses.
It sure is cool but imagine seeing your girlfriend sitting next to you like that in the cinema. I’m also not sure about the implications of this method, eyelids will have to suffer or soon we will see people walking around with massive pumped up eyelid muscles.
Check out the video and see for yourself.
