Flickrss WordPress Plugin
Sep 20th
I started working on a way to show the comments on my Flickr photos in the Sidebar of our Aussiblog to increase the community aspect of the site. After hacking together a quick PHP include yesterday evening using MagpieRSS that reads the RSS feed of the recent comments from Flickr, I built a WordPress plugin out of it today.
It even features an option to link the comments to your FAlbum gallery if you’ve got it installed on your blog, so the links don’t go back to Flickr but rather stay on your blog.
You can download it on the Flickrss Project Page. Please test it and give some feedback so I can possibly improve it.
Fixing non working Permalinks on WordPress
Jan 7th
After struggling almost one week to find the cause for my not entirely working Permalinks on this WordPress installation, I finally found the cure on the WordPress Codex. I already read this page about five times and I just can’t tell how this one paragraph could always slip away… anyway the solution is rather simple.
As I’m a decently paranoid Server Admin I once changed the way Apache reports it’s server software. This poses some troubles with WordPress which checks to see if the host is running Apache or IIS to determine wether to write a .htaccess file with some mod_rewrite rules or not. As WordPress can’t find out on it’s own on my host I just had to help it a little
In wp-includes/vars.php on line 40 is the check for the hosting webserver, I changed the entire line to read
$is_apache = 1;
After this small modification Worpress happily updatet the .htaccess file with the apropriate mod_rewrite rules (given the file permissions are correct on the server).
One small sidenote: If you are using FAlbum and have “friendly urls” enabled you have to make sure that the rewrite rules made by FAlbum are above the ones from WordPress.
Flickr integration
Jan 1st
I’ve signed up for a Flickr Pro account and startet to upload a few Images. There’s also a really great Plugin for WordPress Flickr integration, so you can now view all my galleries right here in my blog.
As a start I’ve uploaded the Photos from one funny night @Eisenstadt.
