In reply to: Feed Redirect ProblemI just helped a podcaster do this very thing. You’ll want to create a script in your old location that scrapes your new feed every so often — I have Michael set up on a cron job that runs every 15 minutes — and copies it to a local cache if the feed has changed. Have a silent .htaccess rewrite from your old feed location to this local cache file, not a redirect but a rewrite so that podcast software doesn’t even know about the redirect.
You might ask Michael what’s in play on his site… I’ve done my bid for King and country, so that’s all my contributions for today in those terms. Maybe someday I’ll turn it into a “recipe” type of thing.

In reply to: how to deal with obvious spam posts in the forumPersonally I vote for castration. Followed by drawing and quartering. Hot pokers are a crowd favorite as well.

In reply to: Image Headlines and Cache IssueWhat happens when you leave the path as suggested? The plugin uses a function to derive that location based on the location of the plugin file itself, so apparently that .callaway directory is in the mix somehow.

In reply to: need help on installation of cold forged spell checkerfrank1, I’ll answer for me… it depends on the plugin. Some plugins — like the Spell Checker — have the main plugin file in the plugins directory and the rest of the files in a folder in the wp-content directory. Why? That’s the way the WordPress Plugin Manager wants them for performing One-Click installs. Other plugins — like the old Code Beautifier — have the main file in the plugins and the rest in a subfolder in the plugins directory. It all depends on the plugin and each plugin’s installation instructions will specify.
CF, you got any plans to port this over to Windoze?
Not really, man. No great incentive and too many other projects to work on. It’s mostly a matter of the shell_exec stuff, really.

In reply to: need help on installation of cold forged spell checkerLooks like you’re running on a Windows host. This plugin requires a Unix host, unfortunately.

In reply to: Need Paging for “Manage Posts” and “Manage Pages”Alrighty guys, I have a sneak peek of the plugin up. If you wouldn’t mind providing suggestions in terms of needed additional features or usability I’d be much obliged.

Looks like a line-ending issue. That style.css file has Macintosh line endings which PHP doesn’t handle well without the auto_detect_line_endings directive specified in the php.ini. Convert that file to have Unix or Windows line endings.

In reply to: Need Paging for “Manage Posts” and “Manage Pages”I’m currently writing a plugin to deal with this very thing. Just FYI.

In reply to: Spelling Checker plugin for WordPressI seen a lot of people post “I get blank screen” I did too when I downloaded the zip and made and copy files and the filder it said to make. What fixed it was I downloaded the tar file and ran the tar command to install it.
This probably means that you didn’t put the files in the correct hierarchy. The only difference between the ZIP file contents and the tarball is that the tarball contains the appropriate hierarchy implicitly, so untarring the tarball from the wp-content directory puts everything where it needs to be. The ZIP file can’t have the right directory structure because it is intended primarily for the use of the WordPress Plugin Manager, and that means everything must exist in the base of the ZIP file, not subdirectories.

In reply to: Need Admin Manage hack for “View by Categories”Begging noted… I’ll keep it in the back of my mind. I’ve been wanting to improve the lackluster Posts management page with some features like I did for the comments, and that’s one of them. Now to just find some time ;).

In reply to: Spelling Checker plugin for WordPressAre there any ways to overcome the problem?
Not really as the plugin currently stands. It would be possible to create a version for those with the PHP pspell library built-in, but frankly as far as I can tell by demand and comments — which of course may very well be a false indicator — the number of hosts that have pspell support are even fewer than the number of hosts that disallow all executables.
