I am thinking of writing a Gallery mod of WordPress. Here are some thoughts as I mull over them. I have kept in mind my own programming prowess, time limitations, limited modification of the WordPress source code. This is more of a functional specification. 1) Upload of files has to be streamlined and simplified somehow. I am thinking of using the method used by Gallery. In other words, you create a folder called albums in your root directory, create a folder for an album, and upload all your pictures to that folder using FTP. The upload interface inside the admin will also allow individual uploads but only for a limited number of files. FTP is preferred. 2) An “album”, in my opinion, could be just a category. That keeps things simple and within the WP framework. That way, the default display would show the latest posted category, which is a […]

WordPress Hack

If you have recently switched from Movable Type to WordPress, you might be missing your MT style titles. I saw a really nice plug-in in the forums which does just that. It cleans your post titles to make them look like MT by putting ‘_’ instead ‘-‘, killing the dots on decimal numbers and sanitizing non-english characters. There is great support for non-english languages built into this plugin. Find more information on the WordPress fora.

BlindMuse from the WordPress fora has written a word count add-on for WP. This plug-in: that not only shows how many words are in the entire post, not just what is current on display. The script will also count how many total images are the post and display that count as well More information here at BlindMuse’s How-to-WordCount section

WordPress Hack

For everyone having problems with the WordPress to LiveJournal hack, I have found a solution thanks to testing from Kitten and Cytoplas (from #Wordpress). Please download the following file: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/class-xmlrpc.phps rename it to class-xmlrpc.php and replace the original found in the wp-includes folder of your blog. This file has a bug from WordPress. You can download the new instructions from here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/ljautoupdate12.txt By popular request, this lot as a zip file: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/lj2wp.zip

Cool Scripts, Weblog Add-Ons

Redemption in a blog has a really nice (and concise) writeup on setting up Ping-O-Matic to be pinged from your Movable Type installation. If you dont know about Ping-O-Matic already, it is a way to ping a bunch of services (once you update your blog) by pinging their RPC server. More information here.

WordPress Hack

I redid and reworked the Nicer Archives for WordPress. The archives list can be sorted by date and category and filtered by author and year. All of the functions, as far as I tested, are working. The example archives are here: http://mindfulmusings.net/weblog/narchives.php Download php file from here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/narchives.phps The install is really simple. Just rename the downloaded file to narchives.php and copy it to the root of your blog and create a link from your index.php.

General

I have started upgrading my blogs to WordPress 1.2 and there might be some disruption in services in the process. Thank you for bearing with me. In the meantime, please check out the new theme/style for my Mindful Musings blog. I opted for a very simplistic, almost MT like look to prove to some of the “designers” that all WordPress blogs do not have to look the same. If there is any interest in that template, I will release the code for distribution. Please let me know what you think.

WordPress 1.2 “Mingus” is out. I am really excited about this release and will be upgrading most of my hacks and my plugins when I get a chance. This blog, as well as a couple of others will get upgraded as time goes on. In the meantime, here is a very small changelog. The rest of the *big* changelog can be found at the WordPress Wiki. That would also be a very good resource for upgrades etc. * Sub-categories: Categories can be arranged hierarchically and infinitely deep. Multiple categories combined with sub-categories gives WordPress the most comprehensive taxonomy system of any blogging software available. * OPML Export and Import: You can import and export OPML to systems like Bloglines or desktop aggregators like NetNewsWire and FeedDemon. * Automatic Thumbnail Creation System: WordPress has a refined upload feature that automatically creates thumbnails any size you want. * Encyrpted passwords and cookies: […]
