Asian Film Festival of Dallas 2010

Jul 12 2010

Last week we launched a new website for this year’s Asian Film Festival of Dallas. The Festival runs from July 23 – 29 at the Magnolia and Angelika Theatres in Dallas. RD2 is proud to be a sponsor of this year’s festivities!

The AFFD website was a fun one for us to design and develop. The look AFFD had created for all their print materials provided us a nice inspiration for the website’s templates. The films have a lot of rich imagery, and it was great to be able to work with a wealth of photography and information...

In part three of our series recapping my presentation on Enhancing WordPress User Profiles, we’ll go through the steps and code involved in displaying the new fields we added to the database using functions.php.

For our demonstration, I am creating a team biography page for a corporate or small business website. Using WordPress’ User Profiles, we can create a user account for each team member, and grant them access to maintain their own information.

WordPress Plugin: Manage Tags Capability

Dec 16 2009

We’ve been writing more and more custom plugins lately as we develop sites based on WordPress as a platform. When possible, we are giving those back to the WordPress development community.

Our first released plugin is Manage Tags Capability. This plugin is perfect for blogs with multiple contributing users that need to limit lower-level writers, like authors or contributors, to tags set by administrators or editors.

Why do you need Manage Tags Capability?

By default, WordPress allows any user to add any tag they want to their posts. This could lead to your site having a large database of tags with only one or two posts associated with them...
