in Make your site faster and cheaper to operate in one easy step on Paul Buchheit
I don't understand what the advantage is of minifying and compressing. Do browsers load and/or parse the uncompressed file if it is minified?
1 reply
Adam "Minifying" means that you cut out all the unnecessary boilerplate, like whitespace, line breaks, function names, variable names, etc. This doesn't have anything to do with compression and doesn't affect how the browser parses your file. It's merely a way of maintaining the semantic meaning of your code while decreasing the packet size being delivered.

in FriendFeed Comments WordPress Plugin on Development on a shoestring
Glenn,

I have been using your plugin for awhile now, but for some reason 1.6.4 doesn't seem to be working for me. I did some debugging in friendfeed-comments.php. It seems that the get_discussion_for_post function is not finding the discussions for my post, even though I am sure that it is in the database. If I am correct, the way that the discussion is retrieved is by matching the hash of the post title created by the format_title method with the key_val in the database. For some reason though, the key_val and $key do not seem to be matching. This is on my family blog at http://fedibblety.com/house. It does seem to be working fine on my personal blog at http://blog.robfelty.com . I have one hunch on what might be wrong. I use some html tags in many of the titles on my fedibblety blog. Could that be the problem? Maybe it would be better to pass the post_name to format_title instead of post_title?

Thanks again for your great plugin.

"radio has been around for over 40 years"? Hmm. Try over 100 years.

Television has been around for about 80 years now.

Phil Glockner You got me, Robert. I did absolutely no research on how long radio has been around, and I was really, really off with my guess. Thanks for the correction. I will update the article.

in Wieder mal Wordpress-Plugins | Onkel Andys Tagebuch on Onkel Andys Tagebuch
Andy,

Es kann nicht daran liegen, dass die Tabellen nicht das wp_ prefix haben, denn ich benutze $wpdb- Stil. Collapsing Archives scheint richtig zu funktionieren, und hat vieles gemeinsam mit Collapsing Categories. Kannst Du die Webserver logs anschauen? Vielleicht gibt es da ein Tipp.

Ich wuerde Ihnen gern dabei helfen, das Collapsing Categories Plugin zu testen. Haben Sie es probiert mit der default theme?

in Keeping the conversation civil on Development on a shoestring
Glenn,

Thanks for a great plugin. I was thinking of writing one myself after I saw that friendfeed had an API, but you have saved me the trouble. I do have two immediate feature requests:
1. Make the text before the friendfeed comments start editable in the options
2. Add an option to show the friendfeed comments by default, instead of having to click on them

Thanks again.

Rob
p.s. Might I recommend my collapsing archives plugin for your impressively long archives listing?
