Bongabdo (Bangla Date) WordPress Plug
Posted by Sajid Muhaimin Choudhury in web-programming on March 20th, 2009 , 6 Chaitro 1415
I created a program back in 2001. The program was written in qbasic, and it could convert English date of Gregorian calendar to Bengali date in the calender created by Dr. Md. Shahidullah. The program was ported to Visual Basic 6.0, and using bijoy script, the program was translated to bengali script. Now, Here in 2009, I had the idea of porting it to the increasingly popular blogging platform – wordpress.
Not much of coding had to be done. I simply converted the QBasic syntax to PHP.

Finally, I could implement an animated favicon for my site. It’s animated and morphes automatically from English letter B (stands for Blog) to Bengali Ba (ব). This is what the image looks like:
Animated Icon
To make the frames of animation, the structure was drawn in Adobe Illustrator, and then gradually modified the structure to create frames. Then in Gimp 2, kept pasting all the layers.
Then selected Save a copy, selected gif format, and then selected export as animation.
Layers in GIMP
To add the favicon insert the following line in the header:
<link rel=”icon” href=”animated_favicon1.gif” type=”image/gif”>
and upload the icon in the proper path

Today, I could finally choose the webhosting of nxserve. They offer an amazing free hosting service, which requires you to use thier forums only. I transfered my wordpress blog from XAMPP to here. The site has an amazing back panel, something even some cheap hosts wouldn’t give you. I am given 2 sub domains, which is sufficient for my bi-lingual site. Their website is nxserve.net, And the forum people were very help ful too.
I had some issues installing the site, especially as I had the pretty permalinks on. To do a good install, always have the pretty permalinks deactivated while transferring, also turn off the caching plugins and backup plugins, then delete the wp-config file in the web directory and then install. Afterwards, you need to open phpmyadmin and search and replace the ‘http://localhost/wordpress’ string with your sites URL.
3 Cheers for NX Serve
