Jenis-jenis user di WordPress Dan Hak akses Rolenya

Tentu kita semua telah mengetahui bahwa WordPress mendukung multi user dan multi level. Dengan WordPress, kita bisa membuat lebih dari satu user beserta mengatur level masing-masing usernya.

Pada artikel ini akan saya coba bahas secara tuntas, apa saja sih level user yang ada di WordPress, serta apa yang dimaksud dengan istilah ‘Role’ di WordPress, dan juga apa hak masing-masing level user tersebut.

Istilah ‘Role’ dalam WordPress tidak lain dan tidak bukan sama dengan istilah user level itu sendiri. Untuk melihat role apa saja yang ada di WordPress, silakan masuk ke menu USERS > ADD NEW yang ada dalam admin panel WordPress. Pada bagian bawah form tambah user tersebut, terdapat item ROLE yang di dalamnya terdapat pilihan antara lain: Subscriber, Administrator, Contributor, Author, dan Editor. Nah.. itulah beberapa jenis ROLE atau user level yang kita bisa berikan pada seorang user di WordPress.

Namun… apa saja ya hak untuk masing-masing ROLE tersebut?

OK… setelah browsing di beberapa sumber referensi di internet, akhirnya saya dapatkan juga hak masing-masing ROLE tersebut.

1. Administrator

Role ini memiliki kedudukan tertinggi dalam kasta WordPress. Administrator memiliki akses pada semua fitur yang ada dalam WordPress, mulai dari administrasi plugin, user, semua artikel baik yang bersifat private maupun public (berupa page maupun post), theme, dashboard, blogroll, kategori, serta file dan media yang diupload. Oya… tambahan lagi: administrator juga bisa memoderasi komentar.

2. Editor

Level yang kedua, atau ROLE yang kastanya di bawah Administrator adalah Editor. Adapun hak yang dimiliki oleh ROLE yang satu ini adalah melakukan administrasi semua artikel (page atau post), administrasi kategori, dan upload file/media. Nah.. jelas bahwa untuk administrasi user, plugin, theme tidak diperkenankan oleh Editor. Moderasi komentar juga bisa dilakukan oleh Editor ini.

3. Author

Author adalah ROLE setingkat di bawah Editor. Hak atas ROLE yang satu ini kian dibatasi, yaitu hanya berhak mengatur administrasi pada artikel yang dia posting saja (tipe post), selain itu ia juga boleh mengupload file. Untuk moderasi komentar… sayang… Author ini tidak berhak, meskipun komentarnya ada pada artikel yang dia posting. Hmm… kasihan juga ya ROLE yang satu ini, tapi masih mending karena bisa posting artikel :-)

4. Contributor

Nah.. kalau ROLE yang ini, haknya apa saja ya? ROLE yang levelnya di bawah Author ini hanya berhak untuk menulis artikel (tipe post) dan mengeditnya, sedangkan untuk mempublish nya tidak diperkenankan. Dalam hal ini artikel yang telah ditulis oleh Contributor harus dipublish oleh Administrator atau Editor. Artikel yang boleh dieditnya pun harus yang dia tulis sendiri.

5. Subscriber

Sedangkan Subscriber atau ROLE dengan level paling rendah ini, hak nya hanya sebatas membaca komentar, memberikan komentar, membaca artikel, dengan catatan bila blognya dibuat private (tidak semua orang bisa membaca artikel) oleh Administrator.

Nah… sedikit paparan di atas semoga bisa memberikan wawasan lebih dalam tentang WordPress. Mudah-mudahan bermanfaat.

Tips Membeli Motor Bekas

Jika anda berniat membeli motor baru, jangan tertipu dari bodinya yang kinyis-kinyis saja, namun anda harus memperhatikan beberapa hal yang mutlak harus dipelototi. Beberapa diantaranya adalah :

1. Cek harga pasaran

Sebelum anda melakukan pencarian motor bekas yang akan anda beli, sebaiknya lakukan cek harga motor di pasaran terlebih dahulu baik dari koran, majalah atau mungkin bisa juga dari menu pabrikan di situs roda-dua.com

2. Cek nomor rangka dan mesin motor

Periksa nomor rangka dan mesin motor, lalu sesuaikan dengan nomor rangka serta nomor mesin yang tertera pada STNK maupun BPKB. Apabila sama belum tentu motor tersebut asli, Perhatikan lebih jelas apakah nomor rangka & mesin motor adalah asli dan bukan ketokan kasar (biasa penjual atau penadah motor curian mengubah nomor rangka dan mesin dengan cara di ketok)

Cek nomor polisi ke SMS layanan Polisi. caranya : ketik: Metro(spasi)nomor polisi
contoh : Metro B8118HJ Kirim ke 1717 (Hanya untuk wilayah Jakarta)

atau untuk wilayah Jawa Timur, silahkan anda ketik : JATIM L4444LY kirim ke 1717.

Anda akan segera dikirimi balasannya.

3. Cek kondisi fisik

Periksa kondisi body, spion, baut, dan lain sebagainya, apakah terlihat banyak goresan, kondisi retak ataupun pecah. Usahakan juga akan lebih baik jika semua yang menempel pada motor adalah parts orisinil.

4. Cek kondisi oli motor

Usahakan buka dan ukur oli yang ada di dalam mesin. Pastikan ukuran oli tidak berlebihan, karena oli yang berlebih akan membuat suara mesin menjadi lebih halus, sehingga dapat menyembunyikan suara asli motor yang mungkin berbunyi kasar atau berisik.

5. Cek speedometer

Pastikan agar tidak ada retak atau adanya bekas pembongkaran. Lihat jumlah berapa km yang telah ditempuh oleh motor tersebut. Jika diatas 20.000 km maka dapat dipastikan akan banyak sekali komponen mesin yang akan segera Anda diganti. Tentunya akan membutuhkan anggaran yang tidak sedikit.

6. Hidupkan mesin motor

Coba hidupkan mesin motor tersebut, apakah bisa stationer atau langsam. Karena kondisi pada mesin yang tidak bermasalah dapat langsam pada putaran kurang lebih 1500 rpm. Serta pastikan juga bahwa tidak ada bunyi-bunyian yang kasar di dalam mesin.

7. Cek perpindahan gigi

Jalankan kendaraan dan perhatikan posisi perpindahan gigi apakah terasa sulit atau tidak. Apabila terasa sulit berarti menandakan kampas kopling motor tersebut akan segera habis. Satu lagi yang perlu diperhatikan juga adalah, jika terdengar suara mendesir pada saat motor berjalan. Kemungkinan besar gigi primer dari motor tersebut akan segera habis.

8. Cek rangka atau sasis motor

Perhatikan kelurusan roda motor depan dan belakang, dan pastikan bahwa rangka atau sasis motor tersebut tidak ada kebengkokkan. Jalankan sekitar 40km/jam dan tekan rem sedikit mendadak untuk pastikan motor tidak sulit dikendalikan. Hal ini berguna untuk mendeteksi lurusnya sasis dan poros setang atau setir.

9. Cek kebocoran

Usahakan Anda dapat mencoba jalankan motor lebih lama, dan setelah motor dijalankan kurang lebih sekitar 500meter. Perhatikan apakah terlihat adanya oli yang bocor melalui sela-sela mesin. Atau adanya air radiator bocor bagi motor yang menggunakan radiator.

10. Cek kondisi kelistrikan

Periksa juga kelistrikan dan lampu-lampu seperti lampu motor depan, lampu sein, lampu rem belakang, klakson, lampu speedometer, atau elektrik stater motor. Apabila semua berfungsi atau hidup, berarti tidak ada kerusakan pada komponen dan kondisi aki motor tidak ada permasalahan.

11. Cek kondisi roda

Lakukan pengecekan terhadap kondisi Roda. Bagaimana kelurusan antara roda depan dengan roda belakang, hal ini untuk meyakinkan bahwa chasis atau rangka tidak membengkok,motor yang mengalami jatuh atau benturan keras bisa menyebabkan kebengkokan pada chasis.

12. Kalau bisa cobalah test drive

Mintalah kepada si penjual agar anda bisa mencoba mengendarai motor tersebut. Anda tentu akan bisa merasakan apakah motor tersebut ada kelainan atau tidak pada handling atau pada akselerasinya, dll.

Itulah beberapa tips untuk memilih motor bekas. Jangan lupa sesuaikan harga yang ditawarkan oleh penjual dengan kondisi motor yang akan dijual tersebut. Karena setiap motor tentunya memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing.

Web Server HTTPS : Secure HTTP Protocol pada CentOS

Pada beberapa halaman web kita sering menemukan alamat yang menggunakan “https://” seperti pada login aplikasi bank, paypal, facebook, email, dll. apakah sebenarnya https itu? dan bagaimana kita menyediakan webserver dengan fitur https?
HTTPS adalah kepanjangan dari Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure yang merupakan sebuah protokol kombinasi antara HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) dan Cryptographic Protocol. Pada protokol ini selain menggunakan komunikasi plain text, juga menyandikan data sesi dengan menggunakan protokol SSL (Secure Socket Layer) atau Protokol TLS (Transport Layer Security). Pada umumnya Port yang digunakan adalah port 443 dan url yang digunakan adalah https://
menyediakan webserver https
Untuk menyediakan webserver berbasis https, saya mencoba melakukan instalasi pada mesin webserver dengan sistem operasi CentOS. langkah-langkahnya adalah :
1.  Mendapatkan paket aplikasi yang dibutuhkan
Paket aplikasi yang dibutuhkan adalah mod_ssl dan OpenSSL. mod_ssl adalah interface yang digunakan Apache untuk menggunakan OpenSSL. kita bisa menginstallnya menggunakan yum atau rpm.
Untuk instalasi dengan yum caranya :

1	yum install mod_ssl openssl

2.  Men-generate “self-signed certificate“
Untuk menyiapkan sebuah web server agar menerima koneksi HTTPS, administrator harus membuat sertifikat kunci publik untuk server web. Sertifikat ini harus ditandai oleh otoritas sertifikat yang terpercaya agar semua browser web bisa menerimanya koneksi HTTPS dari web server kita. Sertifikasi ini untuk menyatakan bahwa pemegang sertifikat tersebut memang merupakan sertifikat resmi. Web browser pada umumnya didistribusikan dengan sertifikat yang resmii sehingga mereka dapat memverifikasi koneksi HTTPS web server kita. Sertifikat sekuritas ini ada yang gratis (free) ada juga yang berlangganan antara US$13 – US$1.500 per tahun.
Tapi ada cara lain, yaitu membuat sertifikat kita sendiri, tetapi resikonya setiap web browser akan memberikan peringatan bahwa sertifikat milik web server kita tidak resmi. Untuk mendapatkan sertifikat sekuritas langkahnya adalah :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

# Generate private key openssl genrsa -out ca.key 1024   # Generate CSR openssl req -new -key ca.key -out ca.csr   # Generate Self Signed Key openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in ca.csr -signkey ca.key -out ca.crt   # Move the files to the correct locations mv ca.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs mv ca.key /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key mv ca.csr /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.csr

Kemudian kita harus mengupdate konfigurasi Apache SSL

1	nano +/SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

Mengubah path untuk mencocokkan di mana file kunci disimpan.

1	SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.crt

Kemudian mengatur path untuk Sertifikat Key File

1	SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key

restart Apache

1	service httpd restart

3.  Mengeset Virtual Host
Nah kemudian kita membuat virtual host pada webserver kita agar kita mempunyai 2 host yang berbeda dalam 1 webserver.
Misalnya kita akan mengarahkan host http port 80 ke direktori /var/www/html/ dan untuk host https port 443 ke direktori /var/www/secure/. Maka kita lakukan modifikasi pada file konfigurasi apache /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

<VirtualHost *:80> <Directory /var/www/html> AllowOverride All </Directory> DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName 172.18.3.184 </VirtualHost> NameVirtualHost *:443 <VirtualHost *:443> SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key <Directory /var/www/secure> AllowOverride All </Directory> DocumentRoot /var/www/secure ServerName 172.18.3.184 </VirtualHost>

kemudian restart Apache

1	service httpd restart

4.  Configure firewall
Langkah terakhir kita set konfigurasi firewall agar menerima request yang melalui port 443

1 2 3

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT /sbin/service iptables save iptables -L -v

sekian, selamat mencoba

Unsur Oksigen Ditemukan pada 1774

Oksigen atau zat asam adalah unsur kimia dalam sistem tabel periodik yang mempunyai lambang O dan nomor atom 8. Ia merupakan unsur golongan kalkogen dan dapat dengan mudah bereaksi dengan hampir semua unsur lainnya (utamanya menjadi oksida). Pada Temperatur dan tekanan standar, dua atom unsur ini berikatan menjadi dioksigen, yaitu senyawa gas diatomik dengan rumus O2 yang tidak berwarna, tidak berasa, dan tidak berbau. Oksigen merupakan unsur paling melimpah ketiga di alam semesta berdasarkan massa dan unsur paling melimpah di kerak Bumi.

Adalah Joseph Priestley (13 Maret 1733 - 6 Februari 1804) seorang filosofi dan ahli kimia berkebangsaan Inggris yang menemukan unsur Oksigen. Penemuan Priestley di hari ini pada 1774, membuktikan penemuan unsur kimia ini yang sebelumnya telah dilakukan oleh Carl Wilhelm Scheele.

Lumba-Lumba memanggil sesama temannya dengan nama

Ilmuwan menemukan bukti bahwa lumba-lumba memanggil sesama temannya dengan nama. Penemuan mengungkap mamalia laut tersebut menggunakan siulan unik untuk mengidentifikasi satu sama lain.

Tim dari Universitas St Andrews di Skotlandia menemukan ketika hewan tersebut mendengar panggilan mereka diulangi, mereka meresponnya. Studi tersebut dipublikasikan dalam jurnal Pengetahuan Akademi Nasional.

"Lumba-lumba hidup di lingkungan tiga dimensi, mereka di lepas pantai dan butuh tetap bersama-sama sebagai kelompok," ujar peneliti Vincent Janik dikutip BBC.

Ilmuwan sudah lama menduga lumba-lumba menggunakan peluit khas dalam banyak cara yang sama seperti manusia menggunakan nama. Penelitian sebelumnya menemukan panggilan tersebut sering digunakan dan lumba-lumba di kelompok yang sama mampu belajar dan menyalin suara yang tidak biasa. Namun, ini merupakan pertama kalinya hewan tersebut diidentifikasi menggunakan panggilan 'nama'.

Untuk meneliti, para peneliti mencatat sekelompok lumba-lumba liar, menangkap suara tanda masing-masing hewan. Mereka kemudian menerima panggilan kembali menggunakan speaker bawah air. Para peneliti menemukan individu hanya merespon panggilan mereka sendiri.

Tim percaya lumba-lumba bertindak seperti manusia yakni ketika mereka mendengar nama mereka, mereka menjawab. Janik mengatakan keterampilan ini mungkin muncul untuk membantu binatang tetap bersama-sama dalam sebuah kelompok di habitat bawah air mereka yang luas.

Staring at the Future of Cloud Computing

These days, nearly everyone knows that the cloud is one of the major trends that drive komputansi for this decade. According to Forrester research institute, the global cloud market is expected to grow from U.S. $ 40.7 billion in 2011 to more than U.S. $ 241 billion in 2020, meaning an increase of over 600%.

Cloud was already accepted in everyday conversation - we no longer suppose it's a matter of what cloud and what are the benefits, now being discussed are practical things about how to achieve the vision of the ideal cloud.

One of the concepts in the past year a lot of attention is the hybrid cloud.

A service that combines private and public cloud, hybrid cloud is the next step when we talk about the cloud. A hybrid cloud is designed to allow the company leverages the scalability and cost efficiencies of public cloud service, while maintaining data governance, security and control of a private cloud service.

When constructed properly, hybrid cloud provides a strategic advantage to the business by diverting resources from IT procurement fragmented into service innovation. When you give birth to a hybrid environment in which existing services talk to each other - not just a stand-alone - then you will build a rich fabric of services and attractive to users, both customers, internal or services that can be accessible to the public.

Open the Future

We believe the best way to implement this vision is to open a hybrid cloud.

What is an Open Hybrid Cloud is not just a technology or specification. It's more than just partners mutually announced their support for a particular technology platform, and proposes an open standard format to the agency.

Open Hybrid Cloud is a vision of creating an open cloud environment to achieve the flexibility, portability and innovation.

We believe, Open Hybrid Cloud has the following characteristics:

Nature of Open Source

Do not want to lock in a business and technology roadmap of specific IT vendors? If you want to have control over your IT destiny and have full knowledge of the technology behind your business, obviously there is no option other than Open Source.

Open Source allows you to collaborate and connect with the passionate community that will encourage innovation and leadership. This rapid innovation can be a strategic advantage for your company.

Community has a rich, robust and independent

Open Source is not merely a matter of license code or technology - the heart is the people behind it.

Open Source Community provides a structure and network rich environment that can be used by companies as well as cooperative. Open Source communities form the basis of a large pool of skilled IT workers, often with a larger size than those in proprietary and closed environment. The idea of ​​the Open Source community is also growing into a corporate environment - where customers, partners and vendors work together to innovate and bring forth ideas to address the challenges of existing business and future.

Could be put on the infrastructure you want

Cloud services are abstractions of the layer below it: virtualization, storage, networking, etc.. Should not be tied to a particular vendor's technology infrastructure.

In fact, the open structure is very important in delivering hybrid cloud services is tough and physical server infrastructure includes a variety of different, many virtualization platforms and various types of public cloud services.

Based on open standards is independent in its application

In order to have full flexibility, interoperability approach should not be tied to a particular platform that is controlled by a particular vendor.

Furthermore, an Open Hybrid Cloud services should be expanded with an open API that also are not controlled by a particular vendor. It enables users to add features, suppliers and technologies from a variety of sources and vendors. Flexibility and freedom to choose is the key of the Open Hybrid Cloud.

Allows full portability to another cloud

If you are developing applications for the cloud service, you should not have to rewrite it with a different language or use a different API now want to move to another service.

A framework for Open Hybrid Cloud will ensure that the testing and re-qualification will not be required each time you want to bring it to other service applications. Investment that has been spent on developing a cloud services - code, data, framework - should be moved to another place, resulting in cost savings.

OpenStack

The above reasons are why the future will komputansi cloud services running in the open.

The first step to reach Open Hybrid Cloud is available today, called OpenStack.

Began to attend since the end of last year, precisely in September 2012, under the care of a non-profit organization OpenStack Foundation, OpenStack is a global community of software developers who collaborate on an open standard cloud computing platform for public services, private and hybrid cloud.

Until now, there are more than 7,000 individual members from 100 countries and 850 different organizations, are contributing to OpenStack, including companies such as Red Hat, HP and IBMI.

In short, the cloud will change the future komputansi - he is open and already there now.

Indonesian scientists Brain Scanner Showcase World's First 4D

  Indonesian scientists, Warsito P Taruno, scanners exhibiting brain activity in the world's first creations. He presented his creation at the International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging IEEE held in San Francisco, United States, 7 to 13 April 2013.

Warsito brain oemindai creation tool called 4D Brain Electrical Activity-based Scanner Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT). The tool has been patented in the world WIPO patent agency / PTO in 2006. IEEE itself is a professional scientific organization consisting of 425,000 people.

"ECVT used to measure electrical signals generated from human brain activity and reconstruct a volumetric image and brain activity," said in a release received Warsito Kompas.com, Friday (04/12/2013).

"This is the first technology in the world who can do a scan of the human brain activity and real time 4D, which can be used to help conduct a study of the human brain," imbub Warsito.

The Denganalat, abnormalities in the human brain can be seen. Warsito said, of abnormalities that can idketahui whether a person has certain diseases, such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's.

Warsito is Executive Director CTECH Edwar Technology Labs, a research institute located in Alam Sutera, Tangerang Selatan, which is focused on the development of scanning technology that supports the medical world.

In the symposium International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging, Warsito is the only speaker of Indonesia. Only a handful of speakers came from Asia. Total, there are 371 papers were presented from 700 applicants from around the world.

Research: Antarctic Ice Melt Faster

CANBERRA - Melting ice in the summer in Antarctica has reached its highest in a thousand years, say researchers from Australia and the UK on Monday (15/4). That new evidence on the impact of global warming on the Antarctic ice sheet is sensitive.

Researchers from the Australian National University and Antarctic Research-UK, dambil data obtained from ice cores show the summer melting occurs 10 times more powerful in the last 50 years, compared to 600 years ago. "This is strong evidence that climate change has made changes in Antarctica," said lead researcher Nerilie Abram.

Abram and his team drilled deep as 364 meters to reach the ice core in the James Ross Island, at the northern tip of the peninsula Antartka to measure the temperature history and compare it with the rate of ice melt in the summer in the region. They found evidence that the ice temperature slowly rose as much as 1.6 degrees over 600 years and the melting of ice on average stronger in the last 50 years.

This indicates that melting ice can increase dramatically depending on the weather when the temperature reaches the point. "By the time the weather reaches above the level of achievement of zero degrees, the amount of melt that will occur is extremely sensitive face temperature rise that may occur," said Abram.

The research Robert Mulvaney of the British Antarctic-said, may be the biggest melting glaciers and avalanche kehilangaan cause of the Antarctic ice sheet in the last 50 years. Results were published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Found the oldest Port in the World

Archaeologists found the oldest port in the world. The ports are found on the shores of the Red Sea, which is believed 4,500 years old and was active at the time of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops).

Archaeologists believe that the ports are found are found to be the most important at the time of Ancient Egypt. Port is used to assist the transport of copper and other minerals to the Sinai Peninsula.

Reported the Daily Mail, Tuesday (16/04/2013), the port is found built in the region named Wadi al-Jarf, 180 miles south of the Suez Canal. This port allegedly 1,000 years older than any port structures in the world.

Together with the discovery of the port, the researchers also found 40 papyrus which gives an overview of life in ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu.

Papyrus uncover clues for workers at the port to get bread and beer. Papyrus also reveal Merrer activities involved in the construction of the Pyramids of Giza, Khufu grave.

"He reported his journey to the land of limestone to obtain materials used to build the pyramids," said Mohhamed Ibrahim, Egypt's Minister of Culture.

"Although we are not going to learn anything from the construction of this monument Cheops, this note presents a first insight on this subject," added Ibrahim. Researchers involved in the discovery of this port comes from the French Archaeological Agency

Three Scientists Discover Planet Like Earth

WASHINGTON - Scientists announced the discovery of three planets that could be candidates for human habitation outside the solar system. Unfortunately, the location of the three planets are very far away from the earth.

NASA's Kepler satellite oversees more than 150 thousand stars to identify Earth-like planets. The satellite was discovered three planets. Two planets, Kepler-Kepler-62E and 62F which is the farthest planet to become a candidate for human habitation. Both shaded host of earth-like sun, Kepler62.

The iPhone 5 is barely three months old, but rumors are already beginning to circulate for the iPhone 5S. The latest comes via iPhone5Parts.net, which posted a few images of what appears to be a rear casing for an iPhone 5.

We had a comprehensive sales process with both Finnish and foreign investors and we are very pleased with this outcome. As we have said before, owning real estate is not part of Nokia’s core business and when good opportunities arise we are willing to exit these types of non-core assets. We are naturally continuing to operate in our head office building on a long-term basis.”

He continues to hound the web browser with abuse until apparently a new Karaoke standard” is released, which eventually wins him over.

And Microsoft’s point is? Well the company has fought long and hard to try and bring users back to its browser, having put up with competition from Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. But with improving web standards and a supposedly faster interface in IE 10, Microsoft are doing their level best to provide a smoother browsing experience to users who may have long abandoned IE. Still it remains to be seen if users will start to be won over by IE or if the browser really is just good for downloading other browsers.
