As posted on the forums, from Markku here are the details of the LinkBlog hack. It is a very cool idea and I use a rudimentary linkblog on my own blog. This one, however, is a lot more powerful, configurable and deserves some attention. Here is the writeup from markku wp-recent-links is a hack (soon a plugin?) for adding a links blog to your WordPress-powered site, similar to kottke.org’s remaindered links. Compared to WordPress’ included links manager, this plugin allows you to have a separate archives page for your links blog, including monthly archives. You can see it in action on my site, it is labeled “Recent Links” on my sidebar, with its own archive page. Here is the link to the hack.

I really hate having to use a different gallery program for my pictures and wanted to write something which would work directly from inside WordPress without having to mess with much (and would look good). I rewrote a hack which allows you to upload pictures to your blog so you could upload a bunch of pictures using FTP, specify the folder you uploaded everything to and then have the thumbnails for all those pictures show up in your blog post (with shadows even!) with clickable thumbnails. You might need to wrestle with the CSS a little bit to get it to look right with your blog. Here is a link to the hack: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/wpgallery.zip
[Continue Reading...][EDIT] This has been updated with a fix for Mozilla where the textarea used to jump to the top on addition of a tag. The updated script is in the same file, and some instructions have been added. I tweaked, redid and added some Javascript quicktags in WordPress. Quicktags, for those that are unaware, are those small little buttons above the post content form in your admin interface. Some of the features added include: Automatic CSS dropshadows for images Automatic CSS dropshadows for text Capitalization (can be used for many purposes) Small size and large sized text Left or right floating pictures and text etc. You can see an example of the stuff this is capable of here: http://mindfulmusings.net/weblog/2003/5/24/this-is-another-test/ To install this hack, download this file. Unzip the contents on your computer. Copy the images directory to the root of your WordPress folder. Rename quicktags.txt (in the zip) as quicktags.js. […]
[Continue Reading...]I was helping someone finish writing a script on IRC and I think they have come up with something very cool. They provide a (mostly free) service which allows a LiveJournal, DeadJournal and now WordPress blogger to build a nice PDF page of their whole blog. He calls it LjBook and you can find more information about the features and install at http://www.ljbook.com/. Just like this blog and many others out there, it is a free service that is supported by its users. So if you use his work, please leave a small donation. For WordPress users: http://www.ljbook.com/wordpress.php PS: I dont know how useful it will be to me, but the PDF files are very well formatted and look very cool!

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

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.

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 – […]

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!
