What I fear is that the multiblog version is doing two things instead of just one. They’re doing multi-blog _and_ smarty template integration. I think doing the smarty thing may be at odds with the main branch’s “smaller faster better” ideals, and therefore may have a hard time finding it’s way into the main distribution. Maybe I’m way off.

The big problem I have is that apache says mod_rewrite is on, but wordpress MU doesn’t agree.. so I can’t even evaluate it. 🙁 Very sad. This may also be at odds with the “works almost everywhere, setup in 2 steps” ideals of the main branch. The beauty of WP is how easy it is to get going. The MU branch is just more technically challenging to get going…

if they can make it work without mod rewrite and without smarty, I think there’d be little reason to keep it out of the main branch. Again, I may be way off, but that’s how it looks from here.

I get this same problem, but then when I log in after I manually MD5 my password to the new one, it does successfully log me in, but the login link takes me here:

Which is the login link sent in the email.

Amen, we could have used this, bigtime. Also, along these lines, is there any way to make posts automatically notify the admin that they have been posted?

I bet you are correct.

I just checked out the captcha website. Haha, looks like carnegie mellon is thinking of the audio captcha too. Well, then I guess it’s a race.

Oh, yes, captcha’s … goody, why don’t we just put a permanent ban on handicapped people accessing the web. >:-(

Ok, that’s fair enough. I’ve just now implemented a captcha system for my comments. And I admit, I can see the big flaw there. I got hit with the same bunch of crap for c14l1s, pain drugs, and whatever else that 61.* address was posting. I created an IP address blocking mechanism, which actually freed my blog from spam comments for almost 3 weeks, and then the IP addresses kept changing every day now. I had to do something.
To be fair, don’t captchas only put a hardship on sight impared web surfers? Let’s figure out how to utilize the mp3-combining code out there to assemble an audio clip in realtime for sight impared visitors.
What we should do is have an audio equivalent. Read and write back this graphic, or click on this captcha-style assembled set of audio clips of letters and numbers being read or synthesized. Either way, the goal is to get to $human = 1;
I’m afraid I’m not a very good coder, and I’m certainly not up on the way wordpress is “done” these days, so mine are a series of horrible hacks that appear to be working ok… so far, so good.
I picked up the only captcha class on PHPclasses.org, and stripped out the code to generate it’s own form and just incorporated the variables into the comments form. On the processing side, I check the captcha junk and set the $human=1; on a successful confirmation of human-ness. I only input a comment to the table if $human=1; The only way to get to that point is through the captcha.
I’ll work on an audio equivalent. That’s an interesting idea. Gotta be a way to do that if I generate the individual letters and numbers and store them like a font. a sound font, hahaha.. right.
anyway, my horrible hacks can be observed with disdain at:

the initial part of this conversation works great. 🙂 Thank you! That was very easy to add.
