  • Hack : B2 News Aggregator

    A small little tiny hack very useful if you want to use RSS / RDF news feeding.

    This work based on the « MagpieRSS » RSS/RDF processor. I just create a small interface for WP.

    Several functions are already ready :

    • Show all RSS news from the RSS table (only title) : ShowAllRss($MaxRss=10)
    • Show one RSS News from the RSS Table (only title) : ShowRSS($RssID=1,$MaxRss=10)
    • View all RSS news from the RSS table (title + Description) : ViewAllRSS($MaxRss=10)
    • View one RSS news from the RSS table (title + Description) : ViewRSSEntry($RssID=1, $MaxRss=10)

    Write me a line to have the code.

  • New design, new sections soon available

    As you saw, I am a little busy for the moment. At work, I am completely overloaded and also at home…
    At work, I am working on a brand new project, at home, I am working a new Cline Website, on new templates, new designs, ….
    So normally you should see the result of all that work very soon. I don’t know yet when but the only thing I am sure : it will be soon ! (I hope)

    Comme vous l’avez constat

  • Cline area soon on the road !

    This last week I worked on the « Cline » area. It is nearly ready. Soon it will be online.

    I still have few things to fix and to write. And of course she has to write a lot of documents to have content ! As you know this is the more important for a site !

    Depuis ce week-end, je travaille sur la partie de « Cline ». Son site est quasi termin

  • Random info to display from table

    After a small delay, the promised hacks are out !

    I wrote something very generic in order to be able to fill nearly all requirements !
    This hack can handle what you want ! for the usual « Quote of the day », the current « Book », the « Movie », the « link » as I said what ever ou want !

    The function to call is :

    the_genRandom(
    $cTag, // Tag Type
    $count=1, // Number of rows to display
    $cCollectBefore= », // Thing to display before anything else
    $cCollectAfter= », // Thing to display after everything
    $cItemBefore= », // Thing to display before each row
    $cItemAfter= », // Thing to display after each row
    $cValBefore= », // Thing to display before main value
    $cValAfter= », // Thing to display after main value
    $cAssBefore= », // Thing to display before the associated value
    $cAssAfter= ») // Thing to display after the associated value

    The table used must have at least the following structure :

    id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
    KeyField varchar(15) NOT NULL default  »,
    KeyValue tinytext NOT NULL,
    KeyAssociated tinytext,
    KeyCreated timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id),
    KEY KeyField (KeyField)
    ) ENGINE=MyISAM;

    The PHP code is very very difficult… ( less than 10 lines !!!!!!) 😉
    (suite…)

  • Still under development…

    Sorry but the hacks are not yet ready due to my wonderful week-end, we had to implement a release and that has taken all my ressources (poor little head) 😉

    Anyway, those hack will be soon available. This time I prefer to say « I don’t know when » I hate that kind of writing but I have no choice ! 🙁

  • WordPress or b2Evolution

    I am currently thinking to migrate everything to b2evolution.

    For multiple reasons, the most important is probably the integrated multiple blogs management ! That will allow me to solve my problem with languages. Futhermore, the code itself looks better in b2evolution. Another very useful functionnality is the « hierarchy » in Categories.

    Well, I don’t know ! We will see ! May be I will, during a certain time, think to this.

    But my feeling is : « Why aren’t they merging those 2 developments ? »

  • automated Punition…

    Reserved for Developpers…
    Automated punition

  • Few new hacks under development

    Soon, normally before the end of this week, a serie of small hacks will be available.

    You will have :

    b2book: Last book read or currently reading with an image and a comment
    b2movie: Last movie seen and a comment on the movie
    b2quote: Quote of the day (or better : of the Moment)

  • WP: “Who Are You” Hack

    This hack provide to the user his/her IP, the country associated with the « hostname » and finally the browser used. Of course this can be used to Monitoring / Statistic purpose…

    To get the country : < ?php echo WAY_country(); ?>
    To get the Browser: < ?php echo WAY_browser(); ?>

    Easy, no ?
