With FeedDemon, you know you can customise the 'Send to' list. Have a look in the FeedDemon/Data/SendTo folder, you can add xml files in there to add to the list, it's only a single line of xml needed

Re: Take A Sneak Peek At WordPress 2.5

Glenn — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:16:31 -0000

I updated my blog to the current dev version from the subversion repository. It seems stable enough. I like the new design. Much cleaner and less 'babyish' than the original. It looks more like a mature application now.

My personal favourite feature is the ability to automatically update plugins that use the wordpress.org plugin hosting. It will tell you when an update is available, download it and update locally.

The post/page editing is nice too. The new layout is much more intuitive and the editor is more featured. I'm liking it, it's a much bigger update than a lot of the previous releases.

Re: Take A Sneak Peek At WordPress 2.5

Glenn — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:36:45 -0000

All my plugins still worked, the update was pretty transparent as far as the font-end of my blog was concerned. I uploaded all the new files & it just worked. The first time I accessed wp-admin it prompted me with the usual update the database page, but that worked fine too. I've not seen any reason to not update now.

Note: I accept no responsibility if your server burns to the ground because you updated :)

Re: TTLB Ecosystem Cache Wordpress Plugin - Development on a Shoestring

Glenn — Thu, 24 Feb 2005 05:47:00 -0000

Funny you should mention that, the next thing I was planning on doing was stripping out the javascript turning it into plain text.

At that point I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to just extract the anchor links abd display whatever you want.

What I'd really like is for someone more graphically inclined than me to come up with some icons to correspond with the categories, and you could just display that. But then that might be considered tacky by some :)

Re: TTLB Ecosystem Cache Wordpress Plugin - Development on a Shoestring

Glenn — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 17:23:47 -0000

OK, as Robert has already discovered there are two possible problems. One is that the web server must have write permissions on the wp-content directory to write the cache.

But I think that this problem comes from the script pulling the url from WordPress. If the link you use for the ecosystem has a slash on the end, and the url you've set inside WordPress doesn't then the ecosystem thinks it's talking about 2 different sites.

This is why a added the ability to pass a url to the tag.

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Wed, 02 Mar 2005 21:43:02 -0000

Seems wp-plugins.org have changed the layout of the site a tad. Have changed the link, should work now.

Re: TTLB Ecosystem Cache Wordpress Plugin - Development on a Shoestring

Glenn — Wed, 02 Mar 2005 23:06:45 -0000

The code (assuming you've activated the plugin) is

ttlb_ecosystem_details();

If that doesn't work you could try

ttlb_ecosystem_details('**url**');

Where **url** is replaced by the url that your blog is identified by in the ecosystem

Can you copy paste the errors that you're getting here so I've got an idea of what's happening?

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Fri, 04 Mar 2005 15:37:20 -0000

Change all you want, it's released under the GPL so you can do whatever you want to it.

Paul, it's easier to debug this through email, I'll post the fix to the site once we've worked it out :)

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 16:34:56 -0000

$update = ($delta = (24*60*60));

that is 24 hours (24 hrs x 60 min x 60 sec). Change the 24 to how ever many hours you want.

Alternatively if you want the file to be updated at a certain time of day. Delete the votdcache.php file in your wp-content dir and reload your site at the time you want it to happen, it will then update at that time every day.

Of course if you want it to happen at midnight you'll have to be up then. But as you've got a little daughter Andy, you should be as familiar with the ungodly hours of the day as I am :)

?php wp-votd('niv'); ?

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

?php wp_votd(); ? into the your sidebar, after installing enabling the plugin.

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 22:27:48 -0000

?php wp_votd(); ? not ?php wp-votd(); ?

There has been some confusion over this, not the leaset reason being that I typed it wrong a couple of times in the post :(

So, in clarity the code you need to have is ?php wp_votd(); ? or, if you want the niv: ?php wp_votd('niv'); ?, or the kjv ?php wp_votd('kjv'); ?

I'm very sorry for the confusion, major mea culpa!

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Mon, 11 Apr 2005 19:40:46 -0000

/home/mydirectory/public_html/blog/wp-content/votdcache.php

If you have access to a command-line you need to type chmod 666 /home/mydirectory/public_html/blog/wp-content/votdcache.php and that should fix the problem.

If you don't have command-line access, your ftp program should allow you to do the same thing.

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

wp_votd('esv',true);, which will force the script to update each time the page is loaded. (If it works you'll probably want to change it back because it will increase load times on your pages)

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Wed, 13 Apr 2005 00:42:20 -0000

That's cool, glad to know people are using the plugin!

The str_replace wasn't implemented simply because I ran out of time to implement a proper entity replacer that would allow for when the feed itself had already replaced the entities, but as long as it works for you, it's all good.

Re: Word or RTF parser

Glenn — Sun, 17 Apr 2005 07:21:02 -0000

Yeah, I tried that, unfortunately that removes all the formatting, which removes all the data delimiters (table cells, etc.) which then make it impossible to seperate out the data from the labels.

Re: TTLB Ecosystem Cache Wordpress Plugin - Development on a Shoestring

Glenn — Sun, 17 Apr 2005 23:37:36 -0000

ttlb_ecosystem_details(); or ttlb_ecosystem_cache(), if it's the later you need to change it, because it was inccorect (I had it displayed wrong here). It should be ttlb_ecosystem_details();

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 07:31:19 -0000

D:\davensusan\wp-content\votdcache.php

If this is a hosting account, talk to your support people, they should be able to step you though it (or more likely, do it for you). If not, and this is a machine you have direct access to, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/wi... has instructions on how to set file permissions. Basically you want to give full control to the IIS user, which is usually called IUSR_[computername].

I have no idea why Microsoft decided to make the setting of file permissions be so difficult, but that's the way it is I'm afraid.

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sun, 24 Apr 2005 20:54:28 -0000

wp_votd('niv');

Also, remember, the script only upates once a day, unless you set the second parameter to true (see comment 33 for example), so if you change the version you won't see the change reflected on the site until the scrpit updates.

Re: Internet Explorer Memory usage

Glenn — Mon, 02 May 2005 21:50:50 -0000

It would seem that Firefox always seems to spawn off the same process, so it doesn't have the option. That is a good point though, if you're doing stuff that could crash IE, opening different processes would be handy.

Of course *using* IE is something that can cause it to crash :)

Re: ESV Enclosures

Glenn — Fri, 06 May 2005 10:42:02 -0000

?php wp_votd('esv', true); ?) it will only refresh every 24 hours (or whatever you've set it to).

This site is now displaying the enclosures correctly.

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sun, 22 May 2005 06:56:53 -0000

25 for a solution.

Re: TTLB Ecosystem Cache Wordpress Plugin - Development on a Shoestring

Glenn — Thu, 02 Jun 2005 21:09:46 -0000

The second parameter has been there since the beginning, but yes you're right Novac, if there's any problem with the plugin displaying, deleting the cache file (ttlbstatus.php) is a good option.

Ensuring that the webserver can write to it is also a good idea too. Unfortunately I can't write instructions on how to do that because there are just too many different platforms, if anyone knows of a good tutorial on how to make things writeable by the webserver on multiple platforms, please post it here!

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 18:58:21 -0000

You need to put the code in one of your template files, i.e in the /wp-content/themes/

Usually it will be on the sidebar, but it can go where ever you like.

Re: TTLB Ecosystem Cache Wordpress Plugin - Development on a Shoestring

Glenn — Fri, 29 Jul 2005 01:49:13 -0000

ttlb_ecosystem_details('http://uncooperativeblogger.com/')

It seems something recently changed in the ecosystem, because my version here suddenly stopped working until I put the trailing slash in.

Re: Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 10:00:58 -0000

here and here.

But in short, the verse text is contained inside a HTML paragraph element with an id of 'votd'. What this means is that if you open up your css document (in your case it's wp-content/themes/ocadia/style.css) and go to the bottom of the file and insert the following:

#votd {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: red;
}

it will make the VotD text 12 pixels in size, in the Verdana font and coloured red. You'll probably want to style it somewhat different to that though :)

Glad to hear it all worked the way it's supposed to!

Hello Steve, and thanks.

I assume you've put the <?php wp_votd(); ?> tag on your site inside the list tags under the Votd heading? If so, try going into the options page for the plugin and pressing the 'Update' button, which will force the plugin to refresh.

Shelby, I'm having trouble finding the h2 tags on your site, the headings are wrapped in a div not a h2 tag, so unless you've removed the h2 tags from your template, that would probably be the reason.

If not, can you let me know what version of WordPress you're running?

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sun, 12 Feb 2006 18:25:38 -0000

I've updated the plugin with a few adjustments & bug fixes. If you could try using this new version and see if it makes any difference.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 16:11:43 -0000

R: If you download the plugin again, I've changed it so that the font size can be between 1 - 100. I can't imagine anyone is going to want font bigger than that on a website :)

Re: Bible Verse of the Day WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 17:35:52 -0000

Have to clicked 'Update' on the options page. The plugin won't display until you have confirmed the selected options at least once, even if you're not changing anything.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sat, 25 Feb 2006 16:26:06 -0000

Nebelmond: I think I've found why it's not working on your site. This plugin uses the wp_footer action to put a javascript call in the footer of the site. If you have a look at your footer template (or at the bottom of your index template if you don't have a footer template) you need to have
<?php do_action('wp_footer'); ?>down there.

If you put that in, it should work, as you can see from this link the images are being generated on your site fine.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sun, 26 Feb 2006 15:07:15 -0000

Brutal: I'm not actually sure. The image functions in PHP don't have tracking options (character spacing). I'll have a bit of a dig & see what I can find though.;

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sun, 26 Feb 2006 15:16:18 -0000

Nebelmond & kamron_1: I think I may have found the problem. Before the javascript does the replacements, it tries to load an image to test if the user's browser can load images. I had set this image to
/wp-admin/images/wordpress-logo.png because I thought everyone had this, but on both your sites, that location gives a 404 not found error, so I guess that was a bad assumption.

I've released version 1.1 of the plugin that now has another option under general options called 'test image'. You need to set this to the loacation of an image on your site. It can be any image, but I suggest a fairly small one, as it will be loaded every time someone hits your site. In fact it might be worthwile to create a 1px x 1px image and upload it somewhere and just use that as the test.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 14:35:03 -0000

Nebelmond: Excellent. Yes I could have used that, but then people who have for some reason removed the image won't be able to use the plugin. It's simpler this way.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 14:36:35 -0000

Don: On your site you've specified a replacement on h3 with class 'story', but in your HTML code, the h3 tags have no class, it is a div that has the class 'story'.

Also I can't find the footer script, check youtr footer template to ensure that the wp_footer(); action is in there.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 18:27:10 -0000

Yep, you sure can. Just make sure that there are no other h2 or h3 tags that you don't want replaced.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 19:13:21 -0000

If you put no class in, it will replace all tags of that type, no matter what class they have.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 22:52:45 -0000

Kahil: padding works like condensed CSS padding / margin values work. That is, there are 4 values, seperated by spaces. The order is:
Top Right Bottom Left, so an image with 2px at the top & bottom and 4px left & right would be
2 4 2 4 It's easiest to remember like a compass going clockwise: N E S W. For yours it's probably going to need something like
0 0 5 0 but you'll just need to experiment with the bottom padding value.

The values are in pixels not points too.

I probably should split them out into seperate values, but it was just simpler to roll out this way :)

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Sat, 04 Mar 2006 06:22:14 -0000

Kahil, sorry that option doesn't exist in the plugin, just use a bold / italic font file. I'm not sure if that can even be done, I'll have a look.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 07:15:45 -0000

Antoine: your h2 tags don't seem to have a class of 'subcontentwrap' which is what you've set the replacement to & as far as I can see, there is no span with the class 'text1', so that would be why it isn't showing up.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

By the way Kazper, thanks for your investigation into the transparancy issue. You really don't want to know how many hours I've spent trying to find a solution to this problem. I came to the same conclusion as you did, it's the resampling, but I just can't see a reliable way around it unfortunately.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 08:50:42 -0000

Ben: Ah, the easiest way to fix that would be to click somewhere near the edit button and press tab on the keyboard. The edit button should get focus (that is it should be highlighted, if you can't see any other links with the focus around them, then it should be right) and then you can press the space bar to click the edit button.

I'll put a fix to that problem in the next release.

De: That is truly odd, I know in your email you said that that fonts folder did exist where it was looking for it. The only thing I can suggest is to delete the plugin & the fonts folder and try installing it again, see if that makes a difference.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 08:57:44 -0000

Serge: That is a problem I've found some users are having. I've not found a reasonable explaination as to why it works for some people and not for others.

The lines that were commented out (I had done it on my site as a test for someone else with this problem) are the bit of javascript that check whether the user has the right version of javascript turned on, and whether they can display images. With these lines commented out the script may give a javascript error, or it may try and load images when they're turned off, which would result in the ugly IE broken image icon. This is probably not affecting a huge number of people, and it in no way impacts the functionality of the plugin, so it it works for you, all good and well!

There's no reason why you can't, all it's doing is parsing the RSS feed & outputing the contents, you can change the formatting to remove references to verse & call it whatever you want.

Lellie, the image cutting off seems to be a problem with some fonts, the size doesn't report properly, you just need to add some padding on the bottom of the image.

About the colour, make sure that there are only 6 characters in the Background Colour (hex) field (no # or any other characters). If it is still happening, please send me a link & I'll have a look.

I can't see it happening on your site when I try & reload it. Have you tried viewing it in different browsers? What browser is the problem occuring on?

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Jason, there seems to be 2 problems:
1: you've put www.jasonlathrop.com/wordpress/wp-images/fade-butt.png as the test image, but you need the http:// in front (alternatively you could just put /wordpress/wp-images/fade-butt.png

2: you don't seem to be implementing the wp_footer() function in your templates, so the function call that does the replacement isn't there. Have a look at this comment for more details.

Hope that helps

OK, there seems to be some major issues with the plugin. I'm going to take on board all the comments here and try and address all the issues in a new release. Unfortunately I don't have any quick answers for you guys. I just moved hosting companies and as you can see, the images are no longer displaying on this site either, I'm having permissions issues on the folder, which I'm also going to have to try & rectify. I'll post any updates as I get them.

Re: Image Replacement WordPress Plugin

Glenn — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 20:10:48 -0000

Don, that's because there's 2 a tags inside the h2 tag, the plugin doesn't count on that, and so it's looking for the text inside the 1st anchor tag, which only has the rss image. So it's making an image with empty text, which fails. That's another thing I'll need to account for in the new version.

To fix it now, you can have the h2 tag with just the text anchor inside it, and float the RSS anchor next to it, i.e.:


<img width="14" height="14" alt="RSS" src="http://www.sbe38.org/wp-content/plugins/widgets/rss.png"/>
<h2 style="float:left;" class="title">FCC FEEDS</h2>
<ul style="clear:left;">...

Re: Google Code Search

Glenn — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 19:14:59 -0000

Well, if people leave their source code lying around in plain text, that's just stupid. Google can't index code that's being processed, this code would have to be left in a folder that doesn't process php files.

I figure if you're silly enough to leave real db access info in plain text, you deserve what's coming to you!

Re: Google Code Search

Glenn — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 19:19:48 -0000

Something else to note is that putting code into a zip file doesn't stop it from being indexed : http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=show:cF4R5Ag...

Seems google is indexing into zip files. Dunno if that's exactly what people would expect. Still it's not like zip files are encrypted, and if you leave it sitting in a publicly accessible folder...

Re: Google Code Search

Glenn — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 19:29:01 -0000

I imagine so. I think the indexing of zip files is likely to cause the most complaints. The normal google search doesn't do that does it?

Re: Running IE7 as a standalone application

You know what, you're right. That's very weird. I'm going to investigate a bit to see what I can find out

Re: Running IE7 as a standalone application

Glenn — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 19:52:07 -0000

Hmm, running iexplore.exe http://www.someurl.com works, but not from in IE6. I completely deleted the IE7 folder (I had to kill the iexplore.exe process first, it wouldn't stop even after closing down both versions if IE) and IE6 started working again.

Very, very odd. I'm keeping the working copy of IE7 zipped up on my desktop & I'll just restore it as I need it.

In the mean time I'll keep digging into this problem. I suspect it's due to the fact that after IE7 runs it steals the url rendering & loading libraries to itself so when IE6 runs it acts like any other application trying to load a URL & uses the default browser - Firefox.

Re: Comparing two arrays (or IEnumerables) in C#

Glenn — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:05:06 -0000

Jurgen, thanks for your comments,honestly, I'd forgotten about the Count() method enumerating over IEnumerable if the cast failed, good point. I'd also forgotten about the ability to call the method on null. Noob mistake, but that's why I like publicly releasing code.

I've updated the code with the changes.

If both IEnumerables are null I'm returning true, based on the idea that .net returns true for (null == null). Obviously if either but not both are null, then return false. Also I'm no longer checking count, I'm just enumerating over the collections until one of them runs out, then checking whether either still has more items. If either do, then it returns false, as they can't be equal. If not return true.

In reference to your first point, as to why IEnumerable, I'm guessing you're asking why not just ICollection. I guess I did IEnumerable because I like making things as decoupled as possible. It can compare iEnumerables, so we may as well. I've run some test now comparing 2 strings, which inherit from IEnumerable<char> and it works fine.</char>

Re: Comparing two arrays (or IEnumerables) in C#

Glenn — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:47:29 -0000

Jurgen, I've tested the function with different length strings & it returns false as expected. The reason is that it keeps looping until either enumerators has no more items, then it checks if both have no more items. If they both have no more, they're the same length, so return true. If the other enumerator has more items then they're different lengths, so it returns false.

Both the following tests pass:

[Test]
public void TestDifferentLengthStrings()
{
string a1 = "fi";
string a2 = "fish";

Assert.IsFalse(a1.IsEqualTo(a2));
}

[Test]
public void TestDifferentLengthStringsReverse()
{
string a1 = "fish";
string a2 = "fi";

Assert.IsFalse(a1.IsEqualTo(a2));
}

Re: Comparing two arrays (or IEnumerables) in C#

Glenn — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 08:05:23 -0000

Ah, now I see it. They Joys of working with enumerators. I like the non-shortcuting solution, but I tend to agree with your opinion on readability over nominal performance improvement. Besides, I speed tested both ways on a massive collection & I couldn't detect any material difference.

Thanks for your help with this, and for your patience in getting your point through! I added in some exception handling to dispose of resources in this revision too.

Sorry Mark, I'm afraid I didn't read your post before writing the plugin. Unfortunately that means that I can't in good faith split any profit with you. Based on the profit I've made from my earlier plugins this means you'll be missing out on 1/2 of nothing :)

Thanks for the mention though. I hope it's helpful in keeping conversations going. I like the idea of bringing conversations together. With the addition of disqus into the FriendFeed service, it means that every post on my site & every comment on my site is being replicated in FF. If they can work out a way to link those together, and deal with the duplicate content issues, I think they may jsut corner a fair section of the conversation market.

BTW, you might want to update the link to the plugin, that link is just to a page showing it working while I was developing it, I've got an actual post explaining how to install it now: http://blog.slaven.net.au/archives/2008/03/27/f...

Hi Chris

There may be an issue with your site being at www.chrisbrogan.com and on FriendFeed it being listed as chrisbrogan.com (ie sans 'www'). Another person was having a problem like this. I think if you add the www to the url on friendfeed & then go into the settings of the plugin & click 'reset comments/likes' if *should* work.

If it doesn't tick the 'Display debug information' box and then click the reset button again. This will dump a whole lot of text to the screen. If you email that to me (gdalziel at gmail) I should be able to see what's going on
