Anthology of Ideas

On this lovely Friday the 13th, Inline Ajax Page version 2.4 has finally been released. If you are upgrading or have ever installed INAP before follow the upgrade instructions here. Please report bugs as soon as you find them, as I will be making bug-fixing releases as they are fixed. I am also specifically asking for feature ideas for the next version, so drop a note on the main page if you have any.

Multi-plugin is a very simple script that allows you to add small bits of PHP scripts, such as WordPress filters, without having to make a plugin for them. Download Multi-plugin Installation is as simple as renaming the file to .php, uploading it to your server, activating it, and adding some script to the textbox (for example, I use the following code to remove the nofollow attribute from comments.) <?php add_filter(&#039;get_comment_author_link&#039;, &#039;aoi_follow&#039;); add_filter(&#039;comment_text&#039;, &#039;aoi_follow&#039;); function aoi_follow($link){ return preg_replace(&#039;/(<a.*?rel[^>]*)nofollow(.*?)/&#039;,&#039;${1}${2}&#039;,$link); } ?> You can also use the following to add the trailing slash back onto feeds, categories, pages, etc.

Here is another small modified plugin that auto-escapes your code, nicely displays line numbers and uses valid XHTML. This plugin is based off of SemCodeFix, and adds many of the features I wanted in my code plugin. Download: Wordpress Code Escape Directions: Download the file and save it as a .php file. Upload to your plugins directory. Activate it. You may optionally choose to add the following style information to your theme’s style.css.

This was an extremely quick project to turn spreadsheet data into an XHTML table. The plugin is quite simple to use, just copy some data from a spreadsheet ( or the visible part of an XHTML table) and paste it into a blog post between the tags [table] and [/table] (make sure that columns are tab separated and rows are on their own line). This is a no frills plugin. The first row is used as the column names and is added to a thead tag.

WordPress Character Map and Unicode Encoder is a simple to use plugin that adds a character map underneath of your edit post box which provides easy access to all unicode entities. It also allows you to convert all special Unicode characters (anything you wouldn’t see on the average American keyboard) to their respective entities and back again. (This feature can also be downloaded as a separate plugin.) The character map supports all Unicode characters (a few sets have been disabled because of their size) and allows you to set your “favorite” characters which will automatically be displayed underneath the edit box.

Inline Ajax Page has been updated. This release is primarily a bug-fixing release, but adds a live comment preview and the ability to trim feeds. You may go to the main INAP page for more information. Special thanks goes out to Truden for all of his help hunting down them wascily wabbits…er…bugs. Pun intended.
