Wap or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is an open international standard for application layer network communications in a wireless communication environment. Its main use is to enable access to the Mobile Web from a mobile phone or PDA. WAP sites are websites written in, or dynamically converted to, WML (Wireless Markup Language) and accessed via the WAP browser.

So maybe you would say Wap sites is different from Web sites. But actually, they are totally the same except the foreground. Wap sites give us a document that use WML instead of HTML. And that’s all, it means that we can create the Wap pages for our own Web sites.

Word press is a great blog platform which give great development experience to the coders. Many themes for Word press are created. Those are the foreground of Word press. And Wap verion “Theme” also had been made. I would show you a new way to read and write the word press sites.

“Word press To Wap” is a great Wap foreground. You can seach ”WP-T-WAP” at word press official web site or go to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-t-wap/

Just download the code file and active that plugin, remember to make sure you have the permission to modify the ‘wap’ folder. Now try to have a look via www.solesky.com/wap/ :

It seems greats and further more, we can enter the “Site Admin” to mange your site. That’s also a easy way to write post on your mobile phone

• The lazy one is to let it done with some plugins, such things related with “list”, anyway, I don’t remember . That’s quite easy to make it work. So let’s go to the second one.
• DIY the page by yourself.  When you decide to DIY such page by yourself, we have to make a file called template file which control how the page display.

The way to create a template file:

1. : Make a copy of your “index.php” in the using theme folder, or the “single.php” if you want the comment feature. And add a few line to mention that this is a template file, just like:

   1 2 3 4 5

   <?php /* Template Name: yangshuo */ ?>

   Then rename as “tour.php”.

2. : Modify some codes.
   you can replace the codes which fetching the posts data by new codes that get the post list function.
   Or make it as what I do:
   Find the sentence about fetching all post like:

   1	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   replace with

   1 2	<?php query_posts("cat=55"); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); update_post_caches($posts); ?>

   That is to choose those category belong to “tour” (ID =55).
   Then find and delete the part of post content:

   1 2 3 4

   <div class="content"> <?php the_content(); ?> <div class="fixed"></div> </div>

   Then we got a “list” that display the post only with those title and some meta information. Like this

3. : Add page called “footprints” that using this template and publish~

In fact there is another way to do that, by using the search feature of word press.

1. : We need a search link that show the post related to tour. Like this: http://www.solesky.com/category/tour-fun/
2. : Create a template called tour2.php by copying the index.php and add a heading like this:

   1 2 3 4 5 6

   <?php /* Template Name: tour */ ?> <script>location="http://www.solesky.com/category/tour-fun"</script>

Maybe you are clear now. This time we use the script to make a automatic “jump” to the search page of “tour”. That also make a good list for us. But this time we can’t modify the detail such as the order and meta and so on. Anyway, this methods is easier~

OK, the “footprints” page show a list of posts about all my tour.
Then I have to create different feature like Yangshuo tour feature.

The steps are quite similar. Create a template file called “yangshuo” and do step 1 as when we create the “tour.php” above.

Now we find the codes

1	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

And modify it to display only on the topic about Yangshuo.
This time we use tag selection instead, so we replace this line by:

1 2	<?php query_posts('tag=yangshuo&order=ASC'); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); update_post_caches($posts); ?>

That’s to say we only query the posts those have Yangshuo tag from database.

And I don’t modify the rest part cause I want to display the content.

Like this

Then make a sub page called “Yangshuo” belongs to the “footprint” page using this template file and publish~
