Sebs Studio

What a better way to transform a previous piece of code to something much easier to use for WordPress users. I recently wrote a script for the new Google Translate API which allows you to translate your content with out leaving the site using jQuery and Ajax. Now I am doing the same only with a UI and a more professional way to handle the translation with ease. The plugin allows you to translate your posts right then and there with out leaving the site.

You can select the languages that Google support on there translation service and hit translation. Simply put the content editor in ‘HTML’ mode before translating.

Release date of this plugin will be tweeted so follow me @sebsstudio

Update (27.01.2012) More details on the plugin here.

I was setting up a new multi-site in the early hours of the morning and I noticed that when a WooThemes theme is active on another blog, the link to ‘Update Framework’ was still showing under the theme options. I thought too my self that this was wrong and it would allow any one to update the framework for that theme without permission of the proper administrator of the main site.

So I did a little research on how to detect the main site and the first blog. If both equal as One then the link to update the framework would show. Otherwise any other site created using the theme it would not. This also applies to the admin bar.

Here is what I changed and is fairly easy to do your self if setting up a multi-site with WooThemes.
You will need to make a backup of two files in the WooThemes theme you are sharing.
‘admin-interface.php’ and ‘admin-functions.php’

Please not that if you update the framework after this modification it could be very well removed. If you are sharing just the one WooTheme like I am on a multi-site, then this will be easy and done in no time at all. If you are sharing more than one or all of the themes… then it will take you sometime unless all themes have the exact same framework version from the start before modifying them.
