WordPress Code Download Table Interface Primer Tutorial
We’ve got three basic concepts floating around the way we present software and share it around, at this blog, those being …
- the idea of a live run link pointing at an executable piece of software, at least as far as our web server is concerned
- a link to downloadable source code of the version of software code pertinent to the version of interest to the current blog posting
- a differences link that compares the software code above to a version more “junior” (or older … huh?) to it
We want to add an Emoji driven “drilling down” functionality to this for those users who want more information, or more context, or both.
So we’ve added these Emojis below, respectively, for those purposes …
- ✂
- ⚫
- ⚪
And where (on the blog posting web page) do we add it? At the first occurrence in the relevant link’s innerHTML (ie. the writing you see for the link) of “.” and/or ” “.
We’d already written something quite close to being apt (please read WordPress Is Mentioned By Posting Thread Tutorial for more here), and so we’ve based Javascript code on its PHP workings, working that code into a previously written Javascript apt function of code (function changeasfordownload()), from WordPress Blog Download Mode Toggler Primer Tutorial.
And so we have (where var cafd=false; starts scripting and body onload code snippet starts <body onload=” changeasfordownload(); cafd=true; … …
function changeasfordownload() {
var outs,extis,postprexp,prexp,xp,aorig, idmjk=0, newaspare='', big='----------------------GETME', stuffs;

Respectively, you are taken to Javascript window.open popups to …
