November 17th, 2008 | View Comments

Today, I have purchased a 2 GB SD-Card so that I could install a mobile version of the Wikipedia encyclopedia on my PDA (Medion MD 41600). A friend has told me about this possibility (special thanks to Huy-Linh Bui) – it worked, and it is very simple! … Read entire article »

Little Fix For The CommentLUV Plugin v2.5.4

October 29th, 2008 | View Comments

Did I already mention that I love the CommentLUV plugin? That’s the reason why I try to make some modifications if I find a problem which will hopefully improve its handling and functionality. I am glad that I could already add my 2 cents that made it into the current version. As of now, I thought it would be nice to write an article of my own instead of just contributing via comment on Andy’s blog. … Read entire article »

First CommentLUV Contest About To Start

October 28th, 2008 | View Comments

I just received an eMail from Andy Bailey, author of the CommentLUV plugin, where he announces the first contest for CommentLUV users. To put it briefly, here is a quote from the contest page: All anyone has to do to be in with a chance of winning is leave a relevant comment on any of your posts during the contest. This should increase comments to ALL the blogs who are CommentLuv enabled and give everyone the chance to win some great prizes simply by being part of your community.

End Of Daylight Saving Time 2008

October 27th, 2008 | View Comments

Yesterday, on Sunday, October 26th, 2008, DST (= Daylight Saving Time) has ended in some countries. Since WordPress still doesn’t adjust DST automatically, you should set the UTC offset back one hour within your WP settings page – or you try Kimmo Suominen’s WordPress plugin TimeZone. [Update from 2008-11-10] You can also use Otto‘s WordPress plugin Automatic Timezone – but note that you should have PHP5 installed for that one. … Read entire article »

Fix for “Ingoal’s Twitter Updater” v2.06

October 17th, 2008 | View Comments

“Twitter Updater” by Ingo “Ingoal” Hildebrandt is a nice WordPress plugin that sends an update to your Twitter account (a so-called “Tweet”) whenever a post is published and/or edited. Unfortunately, some things still don’t seem to work: Tweets are also send even if you only save a draft (due to the “save_post” hook). Scheduled (future) posts do not “fire” a tweet… instead, nothing happens. If I remember correctly, there were problems with slashes in the post title. … Read entire article »

Did Your WordPress Dashboard Ever Suddenly Go Blank?

October 17th, 2008 | View Comments

If you ever happen to have a blank WordPress dashboard, take a look inside your wp-content/plugins/ directory and see if you can find an “index.php”. If so, just rename it to “index.html” – now you should see your dashboard again. It’s magic! Thanks to whooami for the tip in the WordPress support forum. Well, come on: how are we supposed to find THAT out by ourselves? … Read entire article »

Firebug And The Mysterious “Components Is Not Defined”

October 17th, 2008 | View Comments

Today, I noticed a javascript error shown by Firebug while surfing my own (WordPress) blog. Firebug always reported a “Components is not defined” for this.xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); in wp-includes/js/tw-sack.js. It turns out that tw-sack.js was not the only file affected – also post.php and wp-gears.js showed this error. … Read entire article »

How To Prevent Commenters From Using Your eMail

October 14th, 2008 | View Comments

BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER – HERE IS A PLUGIN! Download my (first!) plugin WP Protect Author Email (tested with WP 2.6.2 up to 2.7.1). It actually uses the “preprocess_comment” filter of WordPress to check the commenters eMail – thus making it unnecessary to change any core files (like explained below)! All you have to do is unzip the file, open it with a text editor, look for “$wp_pae_email” and put in the address that should be protected. Then save and upload this file to your wp-content/plugins/ directory, activate it via the admin panel – and see if it is working. Any feedback is welcome! … Read entire article »
