In reply to: EzStatic PluginLatest version (1.3) can include ZFeeder. Man, that was a task…
Anyway, the links that ZFeeder makes are a little wonky when you use EzStatic, since it kills the querystring, which is what tells EzStatic to include ZFeeder in the first place. So, if you did use EzStatic to include ZFeeder, you would likely benefit from adding some stuff to your mod_rewrite rules that automatically added the required EzStatic querystring and appended the ZFeeder stuff to that.
I leave this as an exercise for the reader. 🙂Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Adhesive 1.2I don’t know what you are all talking about. Maybe your expectations of what it’s supposed to do don’t jive with mine.
Let’s cover this again, and you tell me where I’ve got things screwy:- A sticky post should appear at the top of the main index page when no other options are selected.
- A sticky post should appear at the top of the main index when the category to which it belongs is selected.
- A sticky post should display the date only when it is displayed by itself.
- Explicitly, a sticky post should note display the date when it is displayed only because it is sticky.
Now I don’t doubt that you are having issues, since I’ve seen the screenshots, but VexMe is running 1.3 and works as described.
When you say it doesn’t display the date, perhaps it shouldn’t be displaying the date?
Now I don’t know what that calendar problem is. That’s pretty freaky. Are you using a non-standard calendar script?Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Something that looks like Fotopages.com in WPHere is a sample site of Exhibit in use:
http://www.asymptomatic.net/categories/general/life/photos/
Even though it displays the photos all in different ways, all of those posts use the Exhibit plugin. You can style the photos however you like using CSS, and the interface for adding new photos to posts is completely integrated into the WordPress post editor. There are quite a few other features, too- Thumbnails, uploads, file browsing, image rotation, watermarks, popup links…
Check out the wiki link that lane posted (thanks, dude!) or go straight here to download:

There’s a screenshot of the admin interface there, too.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Adhesive: A new sticky WP plugin1.3 is available. It includes a fix so that when you display posts by date there are no stickies. It includes a fix for displaying the date of posts that are on the same date as the sticky (see above). It no longer causes an error if there are no posts to diplay.

In reply to: Adhesive 1.2Uh, I’m confused. Is there a problem? If so, what is it?

In reply to: Exhibit 1.1d Photo Gallery PluginYeah, I’ve got fixes in for the single quotes already, thanks. It’s just a matter of adding slashes here and there.

In reply to: EzStatic PluginYes, the latest version does this if you specify the path in addition to the file. For example:
http://www.example.com/index.php?static=somepath/somefileForum: Plugins
In reply to: Adhesive 1.2Yeah, that’s a bug I know about and haven’t bothered fixing yet.
Look for a line in Adhesive that says:
if($single) return;
And change it to:
if($single || $_REQUEST['m']) return;
See if that does it for ya.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Exhibit 1.1d Photo Gallery Plugin@mufflonen:
Sorry. I got your email. I’m notorious for ignoring my email over the weekend. I’m thinking about your problem, but just like before, editing captions works just fine on my system. 🙁
@symantix:
I’d love to do that. Perhaps when I take a break from writing this new lightweight Wiki plugin thinger. 😉Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Exhibit 1.1d Photo Gallery PluginThe only way currently to get captions on the previews is to use the preview_like_single option in the config. This makes the post appear like it does when it is displayed by itself no matter where it’s displayed — It will display all of your thumbnails with captions no matter where the post is.
The post you use as an example could benefit from this option, and it is an option that you can turn on for individual posts, if you like. There ought to be an option in the Post Config dropdown that says “Show preview post like single post”. Use that one.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: EzStatic PluginAs it turns out, ZFeeder uses a ton of globals via includes, and doesn’t encapsulate very well at all. I’ll give you an example:
A function contained in a file included by the main zfeeder.php, parseOpmlFile(), accepts an OPML filename parameter and returns a string value as a success result. In that function, it sets a global variable that is accessed by the main file. (This is kind of sloppy, IMO.)
Because EzStatic includes the main ZFeeder file inside a function, the globals in the second-tier include aren’t in the same scope as the main zfeeder.php file, therefore they can’t be accessed correctly.
This is a bug that should be reported to the ZFeeder folks, since they seem to be under the impression you can just drop their include statement anywhere and get working feeds. They should probably instead either return those global results by reference (that’s kinda taboo in PHP, but doable), or return ‘false’ on error and the actual results on success, which is what most people seem to do.
You might consider a different reader. Ever try FoF? That seems to work via EzStatic.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Adhesive: A new sticky WP pluginYikes. Confusing. 🙂
Actually, I think I see what’s going on. To summarize: If the sticky post was posted on the same day as the post that would immediately follow it on the home page, then the post that immediately follows it (and any other posts that day) would not have a date shown.
Also, if a post is somehow unavailable for public viewing (such as a draft or a non-existant post) then it generates an error in Adhesive.
Both of these I can fix…Forum: Plugins
In reply to: EzStatic PluginHow badass is ZFeeder? I’m looking for an RSS plugin anyway. If I’m convinced, I could troubleshoot it.

In reply to: Adhesive: A new sticky WP plugin@wairoanz:
1) I don’t see what you see. Look here. The topmost post (“Exhibit Photo Test”) was posted on June 7 and is sticky. You see there is no date shown for the post. You should also see that all of the other posts have dates like they’re supposed to. (If more than one post is on the same day, it doesn’t redisplay the date.) So if you could explain/show me what you mean, maybe I can help?
2) Ok. On line 262 of adhesive.php, change the empty string (return '';) to your message (return 'READ ME NOW!';). That text will display instead of the date.
I’m not inclined to get too fancy with this plugin, since the 1.3 release of WordPress has a few more hooks in it that should make this sort of thing easier to accomplish in a more efficient way. When 1.3 is released (or before), I’m sure there will be about 30 plugins that all do the same thing as this one.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: EzStatic PluginI’m not sure what your issue is. Check out my sample. I changed it so that it uses an include to include a WP function.
