Joomla

It looks good. Which means it has a nice UI but for somehow some things seems to me me irrational or not logic and besides that I am disappointed by the amount of table layout stuff. Hello Joomla developer: We are in the mid of 2007 and not in the 90′s!

Well the performance is ok and there are a lot of extensions out there but again: do not use f*****g tables for layout!

Another WP plugin: count-google-results

filled under:
June 8, 2006 

Yay, I was bored and coded a little plugin to retrieve the google results counter. Just put your query between [ googlecount]here[/googlecount] and that’s it. This can be funny or usefull – i guess ;)

Here’s an example:

I guess I’m quite famous because google finds [googlecount]biophonc[/googlecount] Results on »biophonc«. Today there are 1430 results. If the current result is higher than 1430 – I am more famous than the other day :D – otherwise I’m loosing fame :( – However ‘m not linked by that much sites (18 results atm with this query »site: aint-no-soul.com«) but I’m looking forward and hopefully the current result is higher: [googlecount]site: aint-no-soul.com[/googlecount] (is it? I don’t know it yet ;) )

Technical note:

The plugin uses curl, so it is likely that you don’t have it on your local apache installed – however: most provider have it enabled/configured with.

Download:

The current version is 0.3 and I’d call it stable.

Installation:

Upload it to your plugin dir, activate it from the backend and it should work.

New Theme called Womenized

filled under:
June 2, 2006 

Don’t ask me why, but Damiano called me a womanizer last weekend and this word was allways on my mind until then, so I’ve choosen the probaly most idiotic name ever: womenized!

Anyhow I have to credit someone: The owner of the picture with the very nice woman: Slastyonoff from domai.com because I have asked him once to use this wonderfull picture of Aneli and he permitted it! Thanks mate!

There are still some bugs within the template tags for wordpress, or better said: I have to bug fix some stuff I’ve did. But therefore live journal and open ID users can also post with their ID on my blog;) I love the open ID feature and *big props* to the creator of this wonderfull plugin!

Whatsoever! I hope you like my new WP theme!

WordPress plugin: metakeywords

filled under:
May 7, 2006 

I needed a very simple plugin to add some keywords and so I wrote it.

The name is “metakeywords”, because that’s it, what it does: adding the meta tag “keywords” to your post/page/home. You can define some general default values within the plugin and for each individual post you can add some extra keywords. It works very well with WP 2.0 and it simply consists of just a very few lines of code.

UPDATE:

WP has changed a little bit, so the plugin needed some update. The problem was that something has changed with the $post_meta_cache array but I couldn’t find any explanation »why«. However, I’ve updated also the »step by step« description, because some people still had some problems (I hope this one is better).

HowTo:

  1. Download the Plugin right here
  2. Extract the metakeywords.php somewhere
  3. Edit $default_keywords and $extra_home_keywords with a progam like ie: Notepad, Komodo, Maguma, proton, etc…
  4. Upload it to your WP plugin dir.
  5. First time users only: Login into your Blog, then go to »Plugins« and activate it.
  6. Go to your post, where you would like to add some keywords and scroll down to the »Custom Fields«. Add a new »Key« named »metakeywords« and write into the »Value« Textfield your Keywords (seperated by commas)
  7. Click on »Add Custom Field« and that’s it.

Ay and before I forget it:
$default_keywords are the key keywords which will always be present and all pages
$extra_home_keywords appear only on the main page, where the newest posts are listed

And:
If you still have problems, please post em.
Thank you;)

Alternate rollover

filled under:
March 9, 2006 

This article is about an alternate rollover technique. It’s not very popular until now, so I’ll try to promote it a little bit, because I like it. The regular technique to change an image, is to use JavaScript. However: This technique requires instead of JavaScript only some CSS. (more…)
