ANIga extended

As you can see on the right I just added a “picture-of-the-day” function to ANIga. Usage is pretty straight forward, simply call anigal_show_potd(); somewhere, maybe in your sidebar and you are done.
For saving todays POTD I created a new table.
I’ll forward it to naabster, maybe he’ll add it.
Besides that there’s another new function added to ANIga called anigal_show_image($pid, $before, $after); which can be used to display a certain image wherever one would need it, for example in your daily posts.
All you need is the pid of the image, rest is done automagically.
To be able to execute PHP code in your posts you would need a plugin like exec-php.
If you are interested in the source please leave a comment.
OK, you can grab the diff here.

Updates . . .

Had some time tonight so I spent it fiddling with the page …


  • New font for post-headline, rendered with this plugin
  • Minor changes to the rest of the CSS
  • Comments enabled
  • Fairly easy anti-spam-measurement: added a hidden (by css) input field to the comment-form, if its filled its a bot



Life sucks, so do neighbours.

Every problem is a new chance.

Huh, after fiddling for an evening I got my site set up again with a fresh wp-theme and some nifty wp-plugins. And the new theme is even better than the old one, I’d say. A few new features where added also, like ratings (is there a rant-plugin?) for posts/pages and the possibility to email a post/page.

First thing I did was to import all that new stuff into my subversion repository. Next is to install a Bacula file-daemon on my VPS for better and easier integration with my backupsystem at $HOME.

Good night, good fight.

Backups are for wimps.

And people that like being hurt pretty bad from time to time.
So I just killed my wp-content directory during an update which I thought I had backuped to my home-server.
Note to self: don’t just think, check :(

However, I thought about a fresh theme anyway.

For those of you that didn’t know: I’m responsible for the website of Bacula, one of the best open-source backup tools available. Time to install one of its filedaemons on the vserver.

Hopefully there’s some cold beer left in the fridge for tonight.

WP-Gallery Project opened

As usual, there’s nothing in the whole Internet that fits your needs.

So what do you do? Right, hack it on your own.

Last night I started to implement my own Wordpress-Gallery-Plugin, which currently works pretty simple (KISS). It simply displays a table with images/thumbnails found in a defined directory. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. Much room for improvements left :)

Check it out here.

PS: of course its usable to put pictures into your posts as well …

Projects overview …

Now that some pestered me a while I finally uploaded all project-relevant files and … tataaaah! … fixed the permissions to make them accessable as well. Sorry for the problems.

Overview:

  • wp-hellanzb, should be working, not much documentation done
  • Bacula-WebView and Console (webula), not ready to be released and therefor not available at the moment

I didn’t manage to move the svn-repository or any ticket-system but that might be an idea for tonight.

Check back for more news, send patches/ideas/enhancements or … bugs? … via mail (address on about page).
