Here is a small temporary fix as emulated from the Nucleus site (one of their answers is flawed and their own code has bugs, oh well) Create a new file on the root of your blog called rightclick.php and put the following in there (replace open(‘http://… with your own servername): <script type=”text/javascript” defer=”defer”> doc=external.menuArguments.document; lt=escape(doc.selection.createRange().text); loglink=escape(external.menuArguments.location.href); loglinktitle=escape(document.title); open(‘http://yourserver.com/yourweblogdirectory/wp-admin/bookmarklet.php?text=’+lt+ ‘&trackback=1&pingback=1&popupurl=’+loglink+’&popuptitle=’+loglinktitle,’bookmarklet’,’ scrollbars=no,width=480,height=590,left=100,top=150,status=yes’) </script> Now create another file on your desktop called wordpress.reg and put the following in there (again replace the varibles please): REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Post To &WP : Mindful Musings] @=”http://yourserver.com/yourwordpressdirectory/rightclick.php” “contexts”=hex:31” Now double click on the wordpress.reg file to add the information to the registry and the right click in IE should work at that point.

Validate email regular expression bug in WordPress and other CMSs

Code

a ‘+’ symbol is a valid part of an email username, and can be used in debugging and SPAM control. I use username+websitepostedon@server.com (the real address being username@server.com) when I post my email on a site where it could get displayed for spam harvesters. However, most CMSs use this regular expression in their email address checking algorithms. “/^([a-z0-9_]|\-|\.)+@(([a-z0-9_]|\-)+\.)+[a-z]{2,4}\$/i” Please replace that line with this so the plus sign gets recognized. That is a much better practice. Thank you! “/^([a-z0-9_+]|\-|\.)+@(([a-z0-9_]|\-)+\.)+[a-z]{2,4}\$/i” Another option from Phil : I’ve always used these two in conjunction. The first one we don’t want, and the second one we do want. (@.*@)|(\.\.)|(@\.)|(\.@)|(^\.) ^.+\@(\[?)[-a-zA-Z0-9\.]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$

WordPress Hack

I really liked the “Top 10 Posts” on Jeremy Zawodny’s Blog and wanted it for mine as well. So I wrote a small hack which keeps track of the number of times a particular post is clicked on (using the database) and then makes a list of these posts with the number of clickthroughs. You can see it in work on the sidebar. Here is a link to the hack instructions. This is WordPress 0.72 and 1.0+ compatible.

WordPress Hack

I was looking for a nice way to show how many people are looking at my site at a given time and I found a couple of different solutions, the easiest of which was not going to work in my case (because of caching and php accelerator). So I wrote a little hack for WordPress and other php based sites (using MySql) to tell “Who is Online right now?” Download the hack instructions here.

Glenn Slaven has a way to add RSS feeds directly to your FeedDemon installation through Internet Explorer. Good work and very useful. In case you havent checked out the 1.0 version of FeedDemon, download the trial. I LOVE the program but I cannot afford to buy it. (I was a beta tester, so I know)
