Cool Scripts, WordPress Hack

As per requests, I have made a slight modification to the Livejournal autoupdate script so there is a little check button on the edit page that can be used to select updates to a LiveJournal blog. The updates are very minor and there are a bunch of bugfixes. I have also added the feature to allow users to post “friends only” entries to their LiveJournal. You can download the hackfile here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/ljautoupdate.txt

Weblog Add-Ons, WordPress Hack

I modified an Erfurt Wiki script to work with WordPress and other php based webpages. The installation is really really simple and the wiki seems to work well for me. You can see it at work here: http://mindfulmusings.net/weblog/aboutme.php I have created a static about me page with this and plan to use it in the future for “free-for-all” blogging from time to time. I might find other uses for it as well. All the instructions and the hack files can be downloaded here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/wikihack.zip Please post bugs and suggestions here.

Weblog tools blog tools blogging tools, WordPress Hack

With WordPress 1.2 due out in a couple of weeks (Not gauranteed or confirmed), I need to get to working the WuhWUh 0.2. Here is the tentative functional specifications and changelog (over and above what is already in WuhWuh 0.1 RC1 and WordPress 1.2). A built in Wiki, accessible from the admin interface, to build “static” pages – Does anyone think that a wiki inside a blogging tool is overkill? I am starting to think it just might be! A File Manager of some sort An integrated Linkblog with comments feature and RSS feed Mozilla Right Click Blog This xpi builder (maybe, not much interest in this) A setting to make older entries comment moderated (again, not much interest) More involved LiveJournal Update/edit/control One of the many photo hacks Cookie managed breadcrumbs (maybe, not much interest) Alex’s groups hack (maybe, not much interest) A custom page to configure pingers – […]

Creating dynamic PNGs from text using PHP

I was wondering how Matt made the titles of his posts appear so perfect and I realized that they were PNG (portable network graphics or simple picture files) files. So I started looking for ways to convert text into PNG automagically using PHP. This would enable all kinds of freaky fonts, colors and other magic to be used with inline text. I came up with this wonderful article from NewtNotes which explains the process of creating PNG files from TTF fonts using PHP and even provides source code. Here is the link to the tutorial. I blog this so when inspiration strikes, I can whip up some code myself! 😉

WordPress Hack

Jesuit has coded a “Live Preview for WordPress Comments Hack” which is just very nice. I was thinking of writing something like that myself when I had a few minutes. Here is some preliminary information from his forum post. I have ported the live preview hack from MT to WP. Basically this hack allows your users to see a live preview of what they are writing below the comment entry box. Currently it uses onkeyup, but you could easily change it to onblur if you don’t want the realtime updating. Check out the hack here. Good job Jesuit!

This is a direct quote from dean.edwards.name/IE7/intro/ compliance patch! This is an attempt to make Microsoft Internet Explorer more compliant when it comes to web standards. Web developers are becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of convergence of the major browser vendors. We need a level playing field! CSS is a powerful technology. Many of it’s more advanced features go unused by web developers because of Explorer’s poor support of CSS standards. IE7 provides support for most of the important CSS enhancements. A full list is available on the compatibility page. Thought I would blog about it. Some people could really use it! 🙂

Cool Scripts, Weblog Add-Ons

I was browsing the page of Louis Clotman when I came across the Layout-o-Matic from InkNoise. This is not a new concept and has been done before. However, what makes this page so appealing to me is the ability to control the padding, body size and other elements of the CSS with just a few inputs. Check out this 3 column layout that I created using the tool. Other tools offered by the site include The amazing Roll-over-er which creates XHTML compliant roll over icons and the List-O-Matic which creates complete lists that can be used in blogs, webpages etc and are controlled by various contributed code and CSS. As always, thank them if you use their work! PS: InkNoise also offers a cheap (starting at about 6 bucks) blogging tool/hosting alternative. The SXSW Community blog is powered by InkNoise.
