1. Picoformats 0.20

    body

    I have released an update to my Picoformats plugin. This update changes the logic so that posts are not modified in the database (thanks, @aditya!), but on the fly. It will also link to the local profile/archive of a user (thanks, @als!) that has no URL set in their profile. Also, if you use an @ reply from inside a comment and use the (one-word) name of a comment poster, it will recognize this (if they have whitespace in their name, just take it out when writing the @ reply). @ replies in comments also do not check Twitter usernames anymore, since this is expensive and breaks common use.

    Download the plugin

  2. Actionstream Plugin Update

    body

    I am pleased to announce version 0.2 of my Wordpress Actionstream plugin!

    It can be downloaded from the normal place.

    New this release:

    1. Better microformats support in the output
    2. Some architecture improvements and bug fixes
    3. There is now a sanity check for zero items or less items than requested
    4. Posts on the host blog are now added to the actionstream
    5. There is a well defined way to add stream items (say, from another plugin). Just create an array with the fields you need (be sure to specify identifier and created_on - GUID and unix time of publish, respectively) - usually includes title and url. Then instantiate an object of class ActionStreamItem and save in like so: (new ActionStreamItem($array_data, 'service', 'data_type', $user_id))->save();
    6. There is now a hook for other plugins to add available services. Example: 
      actionstream_service_register('feed',

      array(

         'name' => 'Feed',

         'url' => '%s'

      ),

      array(

         'entries' => array(

               'html_form' => '[_1] posted <a href="[_2]" rel="bookmark" class="entry-title">[_3]</a>',

               'html_fields' => array('url', 'title'),

               'url' => '{{ident}}',

            )

      ));

  3. XRDS Plugin Update

    body

    I have updated my XRDS plugin for Wordpress to allow for deleting XRDS services, and also to have a nice configuration UI for delegating an OpenID.  I have updated the tarball for both the XRDS plugin and the Pempeth plugin to include the new version.

  4. Site Up, Videntity Down

    body

    Hello loyal and less loyal readers!

    Recently, my blog (and entire site, really) has been… down. Or at least dead slow. It was a problem with my cache plugin (wp-cache) which I have since resolved with the help of a friend.

    You might be annoyed by my main page looking like it's messed up. It draws its data from videntity.org, which is currently down. It probably should cache the data in the future to prevent this happening again.

    If you want to see updates from me and this main site is down, check me out on Facebook or Xanga.

  5. FreshTags' Static Widgets

    body

    This enhancement to FreshTags in response to Amit, who has been persistently requesting the feature in comments and a ticket. FreshTags now has the ability to generate widgets (from any source) which are locked on to a particular tag(s). For example:

    <!-- FreshTags0.5-Singpolyma2 -->
    <script type="text/javascript">
    if(typeof(WidgetData) != 'object') WidgetData = {};
    if(typeof(WidgetData['freshtags']) != 'object') WidgetData['freshtags'] = {};
    WidgetData['freshtags']['freshtags_static'] = {
    "type":"posts",
    "source":"source",
    "format":"drop",
    "defs":"tags",
    "force_defs":true,
    "username":"del.icio.us username",
    "url":"blog url",
    "join_char":"/",
    "tag_url":"/search/label/%tags%",
    "sort":"alpha",
    "rows":100
    };
    </script>
    <script src="http://jscripts.ning.com/get.php?xn_auth=no&id=818185" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <div id="freshtags_static"></div>
    <a href="http://ghill.customer.netspace.net.au/freshtags/" title="Categories by FreshTags"><img alt="FreshTags" src=" http://ghill.customer.netspace.net.au/freshtags/freshtags-btn.png"/></a>
    <!– /FreshTags0.5-Singpolyma2 –>

    The above code must (for new Blogger users) be inserted into a new HTML/JavaScript sidebar widget. Source (in red) must be either del.icio.us, blogger, or mediawiki (use blogger for labels on posts in the new Blogger). Defs (in red) should be a +-separated list of tags to load into the widget (or just one tag). Username (in blue) must be replaced with your del.icio.us username (if source is del.icio.us) or the whole line must be removed. URL (in blue) must be replaced with the full URL to your Blogger blog (ie, http://you.blogspot.com/) if source is blogger or the whole line must be removed. Join_char (in blue) must be / if source is blogger and + otherwise.

    The ID (in purple) is fine to leave if you are only going to insert this widget once. For the second, third, etc widgets you must change it to something like freshtags_static2. The higher reference (also in purple) to freshtags_static must also be changed. Second, third, etc widgets do not need the <script> tag that is in purple near the end.

    If you have any questions, just ask!
