And that’s about it.. it’s another no-fuzz plugin.. does what it needs to do and nothing more.

On another subject there is a new update for Twitter Status that fixed incompatibility with themes that don’t have jquery enabled by default.
Make sure you read the readme.txt as installation instructions have slightly changed.

I am still working on some more plugins, this one I created out of necessity, I wanted to have my plugin pages skip the frontpage and stick to their relative category.
So why not use a page? Well the links in my navigation bar are generated by the categories I post in.. and pages don’t have categories.. so there.

Anyway, what this plugin does:

Gives you the ability to have posts skip the frontpage and to stick a post to the top of all it’s relative categories.

Hopefully some more people can find a good use for this ;)

Description

Gives you the ability to have posts skip the frontpage and to stick a post to the top of all it’s relative categories.

Features

  This will skip the frontpage and show the post only in the archive pages
• Stick to categories
  This will make the post stick to the top of all the categories it has been added to

Installation

Just unzip the post_filters.php in your plugins folder and activate in wp-admin.

Usage

A new box will appear when creating/editing posts, simply check or uncheck the relative options here

Download

• Post Filters v1.0 (9)

Changelog

• Version 1.0 - November 16, 2008
  • Initial Release

You can change these settings by editing the plugin file (before activating it).. the settings are easily accessible, no knowledge of PHP required.. I will incorporate a configuration page in future versions, for now I wanted to make an initial release that’s down to the complete basics.

I am also working on a couple more usefull plugins which should be coming along soon..

• Post Filters
  Gives you the ability to have posts .. 
  • Skip the Frontpage
  • Act as a sticky on Category pages (and -only- on Category pages)
• Raw Posts
  Will process posts EXACTLY the way you edit them in the wysiwyg editor, it bypasses the wordpress filters completely.
  This will quite definitely create conflict with plugins that rely on Wordpress’ filtering.
• Raw Syntaxhighlighter
  Source code highlighter that works with the Raw Posts plugin

I’m also working on a PDO wrapper to make it’s functionality more accessible, though this is of course not related to Wordpress in any way.

Description

Twitter Status is a very simple no-fuzz plugin that gets the current Twitter message from the Twitter ID specified, when someone visits your website there will be an ajax script running in the background doing a GET request every 30 seconds, this request will trigger the Plugin to get all Author profiles with a twitter ID, and update their Twitter status, given that they haven’t been updated in at least 30 minutes and with a limit of 5 twitter profiles per request.

You can change these settings by editing the plugin file (before activating it).. the settings are easily accessible, no knowledge of PHP required.. I will incorporate a configuration page in future versions, for now I wanted to make an initial release that’s down to the complete basics.

Features

• Ajax powered
• Get Twitter status by;
  • Twitter ID
  • User ID
  • Username

Installation

Unzip the twitter-status folder into your plugins folder and activate the plugin in your admin cp.

Usage

After installing, edit the author profiles in wp-admin that you would like to assign a Twitter profile to.

You can use the following tags in your templates:

<;?php twitter('Username') ?>

<?php twitter('twitter_id=xxxx') ?>

<?php twitter('user_id=xxxx') ?>

These functions will all echo the current status stored in the Database for the given user.

You can use the following function to get the twitter status DIRECTLY from twitter, but keep in mind that using this will cause a delay in the loadtime of the page;

<?php echo twitter_status_get('xxx') ?>

For “xxx” enter the twitter ID.

Using Ubuntu I came to the solution of using SSHFS, it took me a while to find a good tutorial on how to auto-mount using this protocol, but in the end I found a blog by Colin M from The Spark Between  on how to auto-mount sshfs on Ubuntu..

Since my wife uses Windows and I don’t feel comfortable giving her SSH access I searched a bit further and found that there is a build-in feature in Windows that will let you mount an FTP server as a network share.

Hope this info can help other people looking for similair solutions

Anyway, I was not the only one getting annoyed by this and so a plugin already exists to fix this behaviour, only this plugin will make ugly nbsp’s appear in your post when editing it, to fix this, simply replace line 39 with the following

$text = str_replace(' ',' ',$text); // Allow NBSP's

That’s it, you should now be able to use multiple spaces in your posts.

After some researching I found this to be quite simple, of course there is unfortunately no global way of doing this for all your widgets at once, since every widget has it’s own backend, but it’s quite easy to achieve and is not limited to widgets, you can use it in plugins and templates all the same.

Simply add the following lines to your code right before you are outputting the string that you want to contain smilies

global $wp_smiliessearch, $wp_smiliesreplace;
$content = preg_replace($wp_smiliessearch, $wp_smiliesreplace, $content);

Replace $content with the name of your string containing the content.

If for whatever reason this does not work for you, try adding the following line before the 2 lines given:

smilies_init();

This will populate the smilie replacement vars.

And that’s it, in this case I was applying it to a widget called MiniPosts (version 0.6.6), you can get the patch file for it here (right click > save as).

To apply the patch on a linux box simply execute the following command

Basically what you need to do is add the following 2 lines at line 424 of miniposts2.php

global $wp_smiliessearch, $wp_smiliesreplace;
$text = preg_replace($wp_smiliessearch, $wp_smiliesreplace, $text);

I’d drop the modified miniposts2.php file here but I don’t feel comfortable posting / hosting somebody elses work, I’ll contact the author though.
