SNAP Contest ! – vote for me !

When I installed snap I mentioned that it’d be really cool if they could make it work with site advisor…

cool is if it could be plugged into mcafee site advisor so that users could see if it’s a safe link before clicking it.

well last night I recieved an e-mail about snap running an Idea’s contest. How’s that for cool, my idea is in the competition… vote for me !

bbCode plugin for bbPress

I’ve ported the bbCode Plugin for Wordpress by Jeff Moore to bbPress, seems to work fine; not all the bbCode is marked up as it’s not allowed by default with bbPress, I plan to fix that in version 0.2, but for now Enjoy !

Download bbCode Plugin for bbPress

Installation is simple in the current implementation of bbpress, just rename bbpress_bbcode.txt to bbpress_bbcode.php and place in your my-plugins directory (See bbpPress documentation for full details.)

This plugin has been tested on v0.75 & 1.0-Alpha so hopefully will work on anything in the middle.

Root Cookie WordPress – Plugin updated !

UPDATE: This Plugin has been updated, see please the new post, thanks.

Unless there’s a security risk, I’m always slow to upgrade my blog to the latest & greatest WP, the reason is plugins, when there’s a major revision update, plugins cause problems, so it’s usually best to wait for the maintainers to fix them before upgrading.

Anyway, I started to test the upgrade, and realised that I had a plugin that didn’t work, and yes you guessed it, it was the one I wrote ! – DOH !

Nokia N800 – Waiting for SatNav

I’ve been watching the progress of the “Nokia Internet Tablet” for a while now, it 1st caught my eye as it uses gnome rendering type stuff for the graphical front end, and the backend is some linux (debian?) embedded device, so the availability of an off the shelf linux PDA for a self confessed linux nut is a dream come true !

I’ve not brought on yet, firstly because my gadget fund is low (saving for a PS3.. probably) and mainly because there were no “off the shelf” GPS solutions, since most open source projects are US based, I didn’t want to mess about with trying to get something to work in the UK… importing maps, different blue-tooth issues, blah blah, you know the deal.

Avatar « bbPress plugin browser

I’ve been playing with bbpress, by default there are no Avatars, I’ve made a little adjustment to the plugin by Joshua Hutchins

Here is my Forum Post: Avatar « bbPress plugin browser

I wrote an extra function for your plugin so that the avatar can be displayed on the profile page…

function profile_avatar() {
global $user;
if ( get_avatar_loc ( $user->ID ) ) {
echo '<img src="' . get_avatar_loc( $user->ID ) . '" alt="' . $user->user_login . 's Avatar"' . ' />';
}
}

Styles & img sizes could be added into the tag as desired…. then in profile.php template, add…
