Creating Wordpress themes with NewHaze

In order to continue, you need to have experience with making Wordpress themes.

Implementation

Implementing NewHaze features on a Wordpress theme is extremely easy. You can use our custom template tags. They are as follows:

nh_advert

Displays an advert on the page.

Parameter	Description	Default
width	The width of the advert to display.	728
height	The height of the advert to display.	90
echo	Should the function echo or return the response? (true for echo, false for return)	true

Usage <?php nh_advert($width,$height,$echo);?>

nh_comments

Displays a ratings and comments widget on the page. Must be placed within the loop.

We recommend either using nh_comments OR the Wordpress comments system. We don't recommend using both.

Parameter	Description	Default
width	The width of the advert to display.	728
numposts	The number of posts to display.	5
echo	Should the function echo or return the response? (true for echo, false for return)	true

Usage <?php nh_comments($width,$numposts,$echo);?>

<?php nh_comments(500,10,true);?>

nh_favorite

Displays a favorite button widget on the page. Must be placed within the loop.

Parameter	Description	Default
button_style	The type of button to display.	rounded
echo	Should the function echo or return the response? (true for echo, false for return)	true

Usage <?php nh_favorite($button_style,$echo);?>

<?php nh_comments('square-square',true);?>

You can also use your own code!

Getting Game Information

You may have noticed our use of get_post_meta() in the above template tags. You can find out more about this function and others by visiting the Wordpress Codex.

If you are using get_post_meta(), you can load the following meta tags added by NewHaze to each post:

• description - The game's description
• height - The game's height
• nh_global_id - The game's NewHaze global ID (begins with g_)
• nh_local_id - The game's NewHaze local ID - used for widget calls
• swf_url - The location of the flash file
• thumbnail_url - The URL of the 100x100px thumbnail (equivalent to nh_game_pic_url($game_id,100,100))
• width - The game's width

Some Wordpress functions you might also find useful are:

• get_post_meta - returns a specified post meta tag
• get_the_ID - returns the post ID of the current post (in the loop)
• get_the_title - returns the post name (and so the game name will be returned on a NewHaze blog)
