WORDPRESS DALAM PERKULIAHAN KEPENULISAN DI PROGRAM STUDI PENDIDIKAN BAHASA DAN SASTRA INDONESIA

Mata kuliah kepenulisan merupakan salah satu perkuliahan yang jamak tidak mudah bagi mahasiswa, termasuk mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia. Ketidakmudahan yang ada bergantung pada beberapa aspek, salah satunya adalah kekurangoptimalan media digital daring yang lebih lekat bagi mahasiswa untuk mendukung proses pemelajaran menulis. Dalam artikel ini, didiskusikan berbagai faktor penunjang dari fungsionalitas perangkat lunak WordPress yang dikenal andal sebagai platform hosting untuk menulis di blog. WordPress bukanlah media sosial, tetapi platform ini lebih diperkaya dengan fitur menulis dan publikasi daring. WordPress dapat diimplementasikan secara luring sebagai bahan belajar dasar, tetapi lebih maksimal ketika didaringkan. Ketika proses pemelajaran menulis dengan WordPress lebih berdaya guna, keterampilan menulis mahasiswa pun dapat lebih dioptimalkan. Dengan demikian, salah satu potensi WordPress dapat menopang kebutuhan mahasiswa dalam menunjang proses belajar menulis mereka dalam perkuliahan kepenulisan.Kata kunci: keterampilan menulis, wordpress

Webbaserat interaktivt inlärningsspel baserad på öppen webbteknologi i HTML5

Examensarbetet handlar om utvecklandet av ett webbaserat interaktivt inlärningsspel som bygger på öppen webbteknologi i HTML5. Spelet är ett inlärningsspel vars målgrupp är skolelever. Spelet handlar om köttindustrin och köttproduktionens olika skeden. Spelet fungerar som ett komplement till läromaterial. Syftet är att på ett intressant och roligt sätt få eleverna att ta till sej och bekanta sej med informationen. Bakom spelet finns en Wordpress baserad backend där det är enkelt att hantera de frågor, svar och innehåll som presenteras i spelet. Wordpress fungerar samtidigt som materialbank med lösenordskyddade undersidor där lärare kan ladda ner material i bl.a. PDF format. Spelet körs tekniskt sett i Wordpress miljö men fungerar självständigt ovanpå Wordpress. Frågor, svar och innehåll hämtas till spelet från WordPress. Spelmiljön körs i webbläsare i en HTML5 canvas som tack vare den underliggande koden uppdateras i realtid och skalas responsivt. Spelet renderas till en HTML5 canvas via Javascript. Det modulära CreateJS paketet har använts för att möjliggöra animation, interaktivitet och responsiv design för HTML5 canvas. Projektet upprätthålls i en Git repository. För projektets lokala utvecklingsmiljö används den portabla virtuella utvecklingsmiljön Vagrant. Projektets uppdateringar publiceras automatiskt från sin Git repository till en dedikerad Wordpress servermiljö med hjälp av den automatiserade Jenkins servertjänsten. Examensarbetet beskriver förverkligandet av projektet från start till slut samt tekniken och utvecklingsmiljön.This thesis covers the development of an interactive web-based educational game that is based on open web technologies in HTML5. The target group for the game is students. The game informs students about the meat industry and the different stages of meat production. The game is a complement to traditional educational materials. The aim is to provide students with an interesting and fun way of learning. The underlying Wordpress backend provides an easy way to update or add questions, answers and content used in the game. Teachers can also download teaching materials in PDF format from password protected pages provided by the Wordpress CMS. Technically the game runs from a Wordpress environment but works independently on top of Wordpress. Questions, answers and content used in the game are served from Wordpress. The game is rendered to a HTML5 canvas which gets updated in real time and has responsive scaling. This is done using Javascript and the CreateJS suite, which enables animation, interactivity and responsive design for the HTML5 canvas. The project is maintained in a Git repository. Vagrant, which is a portable virtual software development environment, is used for local development. All updates are automatically deployed from the Git repository to a dedicated Wordpress hosting using a Jenkins automation server. This thesis covers the development phases from start to end and the technology and development environment used in the creation of the project

The wordpress project :|bapractical action research experience

Automatically Generating Searchable Fingerprints For WordPress Plugins Using Static Program Analysis

This thesis introduces a novel method to automatically generate fingerprints for WordPress plugins. Our method performs static program analysis using Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) of WordPress plugins. The generated fingerprints can be used for identifying these plugins using search engines, which have support critical applications such as proactively identifying web servers with vulnerable WordPress plugins. We have used our method to generate fingerprints for over 10,000 WordPress plugins and analyze the resulted fingerprints. Our fingerprints have also revealed 453 websites that are potentially vulnerable. We have also compared fingerprints for vulnerable plugins and those for vulnerability-free plugins

Wordpress Plugins for Symbiota2

Symbiota is an open source project which helps biologists concentrate their efforts on curation of quality datasets rather than creating the tools. Symbiota’s graphical user interface is hardcoded into many PHP files resulting in poor maintainability and extensibility. The main goal of Symbiota is to separate the user interface of Symbiota with its core structure as the user interface is hard-coded with PHP. This helps in reducing the source lines of code. The secondary goal of Symbiota is to help Symbiota developers to add the Symbiota features to their website and also should identify whether the separation of user interface with core structure is feasible. This project is completely related to second goal. The content management in the second goal can be done by using a free and open source content management system called WordPress. WordPress plugins help WordPress developers to add features to their website without knowing a single line of code. In this project, two WordPress plugins were developed to help Symbiota2 developers to easily add Symbiota features to their website without knowing anything about coding. Symbiota Search is the first WordPress plugin developed in this project. It helps WordPress developers to add Symbiota search feature. Symbiota Validation is the second plugin developed in this project. It helps WordPress developers to add the sign in and sign up features of Symbiota to their website

Using WordPress as a Content Management System

Wordpress is well-known as a blogging system, but many people may not be aware that it is viable as a content management system (CMS) for building and maintaining a website.
