In reply to: WordPress One Click BackupCena,
It looks like everything inside the php tags dont get executed. You could try putting something like phpinfo(); just before the comments and see if it gets executed. If there was something wrong with the php code, you would get errors, or something. The source of your dump.php pre-processing shows everything upto the start of the php code. I have an inkling that some comment tag (/*) is not getting ended (*/). It could also be related to your .htaccess . I dont know how hard you want to work with getting this to work, but if you are game, I will help you as much as I can.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: WordPress One Click BackupCena, did you make the dump.php file executeable? 🙂 I guess i should have mentioned that. If that is the problem, I will fix that in the tutorials.

Can you explain yourself a bit further?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Moblog Hack Beta: Need Beta TestersSweet and thanks for the positive feedback! How about some other people trying this hack out? Would people like to be able to post videos and voice messages as well? I will be working on the script figuring out multiple attachments and a variety of other improvements. Do the other internet-cell-phone services (besides sprint-pcs) have any peculiarities that users would like to share with us to help in fixing the code?

In reply to: Suggestions for Hacks, Ad-Ons or Improvements?TG, I have an old copy of b2stats which you can download from the link at the bottom of this post. It is designed for b2 and will need to be modified as discussed in this thread. The links do not need anything installed, but there are a few steps in the WP install process which allows the links to show the updated status. That forum link should help you a lot.
debwire: a lot of the items that you mention can be achieved through the template tags inside WP. This will become much more clear, and hopefully will contain some valid examples, when the documentation becomes public e.g. links automatically listed in their own separate categories and alphabetically instead of bunched all together, better visibility for the trackback URL, At the end of each post there is a printer icon that takes them to a print friendly page etc. I know that the upcoming documentation is going to have a better rundown on the links and trackbacks (right allusion? 😉 ) I will get back to you about the rest. 🙂
Peace

In reply to: Threaded comments hack – 0.72mtanner, it seems to work fine. In order for the comments to be threaded, your commenter has to reply to the comment above. I would make the “reply to this comment” bold or a different color to make it stand out a little. Hope this helps.

In reply to: Suggestions for Hacks, Ad-Ons or Improvements?TechGnome…the linkManager inside WP already does the updated sites thing. Look though the install instructions and then your Link Manager options in the admin side. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. It does take a few minutes to work right after you set it up.
For people looking through this for the finished hacks, here is the list so far…
<del>1) Blog This </del>– Done – look at this post on TechGnome
<del>2) Link This</del> – Done – Look at this link in WP Forums
<del>3) b2stats</del> – Done – Look at this post WP forums
4) LJUpdate – Not done yet, will look into it 🙂
<del>5) Threaded Comments</del> – Done – Look at this link
<del>6) Clickable smilies on the user posting page </del>– Done – Look at this post on the WP forums. I would be interested to know if this works on Opera.
<del>7) Send/print this page hacks</del> – “Send this page” has been worked on . Printing is taken care of through the print CSS. So I consider this done. Please correct me or add more stuff to this.
<del>8) Auto convert friends names to links </del>– Done – Look at this file for the hack.
<del>9) Restructure wordpress so that the index.php installs in the root and the wordpress files run in a subfolder </del>– I think this would be an intrusive hack and would take away from the work of the core developers. I understand that a lot of people want this implemented, but I am going to pass on this one. If anyone else wants to jump in, please do so.
<del>10) Sticky post </del>– Done – look at this link
11) Multiple Blogs – Need more on this
<del>12) Style switcher </del>– done in many ways, with good explanations – Look at this post on WP ForumsForum: Plugins
In reply to: Moblog Hack Beta: Need Beta TestersI now have a modification of the above script which lets a SprintPCS Vision customer moblog directly from their phone using email blogging. If anyone is interested in this, please email me or leave a message on here. I have a couple of moblog posts setup on my blog.

Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Browser DiscussionI have used all kinds of browsers in the past 10 years. I personally have come to like Mozilla and all of its’ siblings(which include Firebird and Camino) the best. Mozilla is mature, the interface is simple and very functional without being overbearing and there are no ads to contend with. Being a Mozilla beta tester and a fringe Mozilla hacker (very very small amount of code) I agree that Mozilla can be a little buggy, but it works well. There is a huge community of people willing to help and development is fast and furious (much like WordPress actually)! It is quite annoying when important webpages are coded exclusively for IE and I have to switch to it to get those pages to work.
Outside of the Mozilla family, I have used Opera, myIE and a couple of others that faded away quickly. Opera is very nice indeed, but I dont want to pay for my browser. There is often the arguement made that we pay for every other software, then why are we so quick to assume that a good browser will be free? Well because good browsers are available for free and thats the way the industry (and the users) have been thinking and will continue to think. That does not mean that some people will not pay for their browsers, it simply means that many of us refuse to. Browser tools are abundant and are being developed for every browser (except IE) So most newer browsers will have (or will soon have) a similar set of tools/plug-ins.
One browser that in my opinion, really grabs the right combination of IE, Opera and Mozilla is Safari. Safari is very very user friendly(has the coolest browsing features), is extremely fast (almost as fast as Mozilla) and most programming tricks work on Safari (a combo of almost everything Mozilla and IE) . Safari is a descendant of Konqueror from KDE fame, albeit the kernel has been tweaked (it was just a starting point) by Apple. Though a nice browser, Safari has its share of weaknesses which include shaky page rendering is some cases and it is somewhat less configurable than Camino (and of course, is only available for the Mac).
At the end of this post, I would like to add that my opinion along with the others on this thread touting Opera or Mozilla should be taken with a grain of salt. Every user should try as many browsers as they can and choose the one that they like the best and best suits their needs. I still use as many browsers as I can, but no browser completely suits all my needs, yet. 😛
Peace.
