Having a tighter integration with WordPress would be wonderful, but truthfully I just don’t have the time or resources that I’d like to have to dedicate fully to this script. I am a full time student and have a part time job as well, between these two I have little time to work on side projects. Anyway, thanks for the great suggestion — WordPress integration may see the light of day sometime in the future. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plogger: A Promising Gallery Alternative](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/) * [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/#post-182929) * Ryan, that’s an excellent idea. You had me churning all day at work (my boss was not happy :).. I’ll see what I can come up with. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plogger: A Promising Gallery Alternative](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/) * [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/#post-182917) * Of course. 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plogger: A Promising Gallery Alternative](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/) * [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/#post-182914) * Ok, the IE problem has been fixed. If you have already downloaded the script and want to use it from Internet Explorer, you will need to redownload the binary. * The only files that have changed are plog-manage.php and /css/admin.css. Just upload those two files and you should be patched. * Word has it that someone is working on integrating this with WP1.5, I will post updates on my blog. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plogger: A Promising Gallery Alternative](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/) * [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/#post-182910) * Moxie — the code for “unlinking” the images after deletion is in the script, but it appears to not be working. I’ll look into this, it could be a server configuration issue. * A few problems have been exposed as a result of this beta test, primarily with Internet Explorer. Apparently you cannot create any albums or collections with IE. I’ll be looking into this and posting a fix for you IE users (if there are any :)) soon. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Plogger: A Promising Gallery Alternative](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/) * [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plogger-a-promising-gallery-alternative/#post-182633) * I am in the process of writing up a few articles on “Using Plogger” and getting it to work exactly how you want it to, they should be all out this week. As of now, it is extremely easy to integrate into your existing site — this was a priority in our development. You literally just need to drop in three PHP statements to your page, one include, one function call in the HEAD, and one function call in the BODY. Not only that, but you should be able to get the gallery to fit the style of your site by modifying the included gallery.css file. * If you guys get a chance to use the beta, we would love to have your feedback, good or bad. We will be taking feature requests (like the private gallery one above) for the official release.

This is the definition of a hack! If it was nice, it would be a plug-in. On user registration, I think that this is a very bad idea. I personally instantly leave sites that require me to register for something as simple as posting a comment or reading an article. There must be another way… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Differentiating User and Admin Comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/) * Thread Starter [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/#post-101340) * Well, my point was that coders *can’t* really add functionality for those hooks. I mean, technically you could create 20+ styles for every single comment-# hook, but what happens when you get 30 comments? What is the relationship between the fourteenth comment on your blog and who created it? Nothing! The hooks are useless. Oh and BTW, Dan Cederholm just made a post about [adding author highlighting for MT](http://www.simplebits.com/). A commenter suggested using a password for the email field, as I previously suggested, and Dan responded with “Brilliant”. Seems like the only logical work-around for spoof proofing the current build. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Differentiating User and Admin Comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/) * Thread Starter [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/#post-101335) * It could easily be an option that is off by default. What is the purpose of having“ id = comment-34”? That sounds a bit superflous if you ask me. Theres no way to take advantage of these hooks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Differentiating User and Admin Comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/) * Thread Starter [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/#post-101331) * In defense of using the email field as password: 1.) The email field is used internally by WordPress, email addresses are not displayed on the blog. 2.) You only use email addresses to contact posters personally. 3.) All the other fields on the comment form are publicly displayed. If you didn’t want to have authentication then it wouldn’t be a problem, just change the one line of code that compares the email address to your password and make it compare the email address to your real email address. This would work fine, but anyone who felt like it could post with your information (if your email is available on your website). While it takes a real loser to pose as the author of a blog, it could happen. This could make you look really stupid. The one downfall to this hack is that the email field is displayed plain-text, so you wouldn’t want to be posting in a public area. Just my thoughts. I think the hack is suitable until the WordPress guys decide to integrate the feature into the system. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Problems with bots](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-bots/) * [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-bots/#post-101791) * I too have been attacked by this insidious evil. It appears the domain name is registered at domainsbyproxy.com – whose business model is “Your identity becomes instantly available – and vulnerable – to spammers, scammers, prying eyes and worse. Your solution: domainsbyproxy.com! ” How ironic, the service set up to protect us from spammers now houses them safely! The site is hosted at godaddy. com as well. Contacting them might do something… but it won’t prevent comment spamming. We need a united solution!! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Differentiating User and Admin Comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/) * Thread Starter [solano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solano/) * (@solano) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/differentiating-user-and-admin-comments/#post-101066) * I definitely think the feature should be standard in the installation. They should add different classes of comments — a style hook for trackbacks, a style hook for regular users, a style hook for the admin, a style hook for spam. There really are quite a few possibilities… with little modification you could use my above hack to acheive any of these effects really easily. Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total)
