WordPress Post Signature
February 18th, 2013 by Kristy No comments »Thanks to a post on wpmu.org I found how to add a signature to a WordPress post by adding script in the functions.php file.
add_filter('the_content','add_signature');
function add_signature($text) {
global $post;
if($post->post_type == 'post') $text .= '<div class="signature">
<img src="http:/yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/images/signature.png" alt="signature" />
</div>';
return $text;
}
They also suggested the following if you need to tweak the placement of the signature.
div.signature img {
padding: 5px;
}

Move/Recover Offscreen Window
December 16th, 2012 by Kristy No comments »I am reposting information I found on a social.technet.microsoft.com forum:
Dave Bishop posted……Windows 7 has a cool new feature that should help. Click the icon in the taskbar to ensure that the program has focus. Then hold down the Windows key and press the right-arrow a few times. That should move the window across your screens and eventually bring it back onto the screen that is still active.
“if I could” posted a solution for Windows XP
To “move” a window from offscreen, do the following:
- Click the application in question on the task bar (needs to have focus and be in a restored state)
- Move your cursor above the task bar until the thumbnail image appears
- Right-click on the thumbnail image (you will be presented with the option menu, one of which is “Move”)
- Select the “Move” option
- Left-click-hold on the desktop and drag the window into view
Crystal Reports in .net 4 windows application
December 25th, 2011 by Kristy No comments »Ran into issues with my application not compiling due to the following error:
“Could not load file or assembly ‘file:///C:Program FilesSAP BusinessObjectsCrystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0CommonSAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0win32_x86dotnet1crdb_adoplus.dll’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.”
Thanks to a post on msdn’s forum I found the following fix:
1. Make sure your project framework is set to 4.0 framework, not the client
2. Add this to the config file:
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=”true”>
<supportedRuntime version=”v4.0″ sku=”.NETFramework,Version=v4.0″/>
</startup>
3. When distributing the app be sure to include the appname.config.exe file
