Thanks Xenos for your kind help!

In fact what i have figured out is somewhat different from what you propose. The requirement is not doing this say one or two times a day. Our HR dept. requires that EVERY TIME a job application is posted online it should update/synch the local version so that it is available to them from their admin panel on the localhost and they will do the subsequent process locally. Remember there’s no need of admin features on the online version (although they will be available there).

Now this makes it technically quite complicated, may be because of WordPress inherent structure. Let me explain what I think I may have to do:

– First I have to extend the code in the “Job Application Form” in which after normal submission the data as well as the uploaded attachments (file names only) will have to be saved into like an XML file on the server. So if there are for instance, 30 job applications a day, there will be 30 XML files for that day.

– I have to write a windows service, like in .NET/C# (I have already developed such for another purpose) which will download those ‘new’ XML files from that FTP directory from the server one by one, will scan the XML and update (in fact create a records) in the mysql db of the local version, download their respective attachments from the ftp to the local ‘uploads’ directory. This windows service will be scheduled to run say every 10-20 minutes interval, so that the HR ‘feel’ that they are working on fresh data.

This will complete the incremental backup (or whatever you call it :))

I hope you may understand now the actual constraints. If you have any suggestions to improve this design or any alternative, you are welcome.

Thanks

Thanks for your help. The duplicator plugin looks like a migration tool that requires human intervention every time. I want the localhost instance to be updated every time a job app is posted online. I’m interested to listen to your hints. I’m a good developer and want to build a fully customized and automated solution. Meanwhile I’m looking for some useful plugin as well, I guess personally developed solution will be a better option. Thanks.

I’m using Facebook Wall and Social Integration plugin. It requires your facebook page Id, Access token and some other setting parameters.
Now create a page and add following to the content area in the page. Make sure you’re in the Text tab. Your parameters settings may be some different:

<div style="margin-top:26px;margin-bottom:10px;">
      [mitsol_fbwall_feed_short_code like_btn="true" post_types="links,photos," ]
</div>

I’m using Free version. Here’s the link:

Is there a work around to get the image(s) in the free version?

Thanks,

Ok I have got help from here and managed to get access to my fb group page. There’s still one point left. The post which accompanies image or an image type of post doesn’t display the image. I can see a little icon with tooltip/title as ‘photo’ in the bottom of the posts but they do nothing. Please help how will it be possible to get the
post’s image as well.

Thanks

The website links may not be specific to WordPress. A guide or solution developed in core php is just fine. Thanks,

gr8. It works!!!

thanks bcworkz ??

Looks like to me the problem lies on this line:

add_action( ‘manage_ads_posts_custom_column’, array( $this, ‘adm_ads_table_content’)

the function adm_ads_table_content is supposed to receive 2 parameters. Since I am writing this code in a class. If it were not within the class definition it would have been like:

add_action( ‘manage_ads_posts_custom_column’, ‘adm_ads_table_content’, 10, 2)

I don’t know how will i specify the arguments in this particular case. Substantial googling didn’t provide any help either.

Well, I have done it my way. I added this code in my previously written user_init_func in my plugin.

if( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] == ‘/’){
$redirect_to = get_option(‘siteurl’). ‘/ads’;
wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_to );
exit();
}

Where user_init_funct is hooked this way:

add_action(‘init’, ‘user_init_func’);

I wonder why didn’t i give it a thought before. Anyways prakash thanks for your help!

Thanks DionDesigns.

It seems to work now and at least the mail is sent. But I guess the wp_mail() function is not using PHPMailer. There are two reasons in support of it:

1- The mails are sent even if i provide wrong password for $phpmailer->Password.

2- The From field name should be HRD and mail account should be [email protected] whereas the receiving mail shows WordPress <[email protected]> in the From field of the email.

Thanks.

Thanks guys. I am gonna explore BuddyPress.
Meanwhile would you please guide what me what if a plugin does not offer extensive features for the social network like blogs, photos, videos, music, events, groups, wall, forums, invite etc. I personally think that it is more feasible to look for open source social network code in core php and try to incorporate it to wordpress. Btw i am not sure what is the best (and the easier) way to incorporate. Anyways this will provide more flexibility to extend or modify the functionality as per the client’s requirements instead of the plugin. May be i am wrong. In fact i am not so well up in wordpress and don’t now much about how to use it the best possible way in such scenario.
