Weblog Add-Ons, WordPress Hack

If you’d like to beta test this plugin, leave a comment on this thread, including your email address (never shown to the public) and I’ll send you the .zip file. The install is easy, add a line to wp-comments.php upload 4 files, run the installer, and you’re done. The interface is a popup window that asks to add the email address entered in the comment form to the mailing list. It check if the address is already subscribed to the post, and if the address is on a site-wide banned list. If not they’re subscribed and will receive a mail everytime a comment is added to the post. A word about the banned list. If someone is subscribing email address other than their own, this is a way for them to stop your site from sending any email to that address. I doesn’t stop the abuse, but gives the victim […]

Livejournal Private, Public, and Friends Posts

2
responses

I suppose this may be a known fact, but I didn’t figure it out until I looked at the code and realized something. For the Livejournal autoupdate script, you are given two different functions. One makes all posts public, and the other posts them all friends-only. Well if you just rename the function and change the name into the calls in post.php, you can have three different functions with checkboxes deciding whether you want to post it public, private (when you click save instead of publish and set it as private in wordpress), or friends only. Just copy the two functions given and rename one of them to something similar in my-hacks.php. And for private entries, change the friends script security tag to “private” Sorry if everyone knew this, but I just found it out 🙂 And for a shameless plug, feel free to checkout my wordpress sites, both syndicated […]

This is a little known feature that I believe should be documented well. If you are using IIS or do not have the mod_rewrite ability, it is possible to still have serach engine friendly URIs in WordPress. If someone was dissuaded from using WP because of this, be dissed no more! Here are the instruction from the admin page of WordPress 1.2 Mingus: In general for this you must use mod_rewrite, however if you put a filename at the beginning WordPress will attempt to use that to pass the arguments, for example: /index.php/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ If you use this option you can ignore the mod_rewrite rules.

Captchas for the blind

No

Here’s a proof of concept that I put together to illustrate my idea of using text+logic+PHP to make a simple but effective non-graphical captcha-style verification mechanism. Visit the example page, and leave your feedback. Based on feedback so far, I’m going to persue this idea and build a plugin based on it.

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.

responses

Matt has written up a method to create his “Asides” or his linkblog due to popular request on the fora. I have been meaning to write a little tutorial myself, but since he and other have done it quite well, I shall refrain. This is basically a linkblog, or a blog of links which allows comments. Charles, Adam and a couple of other gurus have their own implementation. Here is a short list. An examlple of Matt’s Asides – Tutorial of how to make it happen in your WordPress. An example of Charles’ asides(look for “Linking up a Storm”) – Tutorial of how to make it happen for your WordPress. An example of Adam’s asides(look for “a side of links”) – Tutorial of how to make it happen for your WordPress. I am going to implement *one* of these as soon as I upgrade to 1.2. Any comments or suggestion […]
