I've created a little plugin to build dropdown menu's based on your page list, over here.

Calendar plugin

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

IMPORTANT!: If you've downloaded the version 0.3 of this plugin from my site, please update to version 0.4 because there are some security issues with the original plugin!

For some time now, we're using the wp-cal plugin on Ochblog. It really is a great plugin, once you've got it working. To bad it's just a nightmare to get it working properly. I don't know how many adjustments I had to make to the code to get the thing going, but it finally works now. Since the original plugin writer seems kinda busy doin other things, it's now available for download here (version 0.4).

Widgets, asides and plugins

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

To use asides in the sidebar in wordpress, you can two ways. You could use a single category (outdated wordpress stuff alert) for your asides, where you keep the asides out of the main loop, and use multiple loops to display this category in the sidebar. You could also use the miniposts plugin, wich has the advantage that you could use multiple categories for your asides.

Issues with code tags

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

I've recently moved this blog from a Wordpress 2.0 install to Wordpress MU. Today I found that the use of the html code tags in posts isn't displayed properly, therefor some of my posts have been severly mutilated (dramatized), resulting in some unreadable code. Right now I'm trying to fix this (keeps fingers crossed).
update: It seems like I've found a way around this, the code is now displayed. It still looks funny though, since line-breaks don't seem to work the code is put in a single line. So indentation isn't correct, to say at least.

Adjusting Wordpress functions

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

On Ochblog we're using the K2 theme, as I've mentioned earlyer. This theme uses the wp_register() function in the menu bar, a function wich displays a different link (register or admin) depending on wether you're logged in or not. Since I made a custom profile page, I decided I wanted this to link to;

  • the register page if you're not logged in,
  • the profile page if you're a normal logged in user
  • or the admin page if you're a logged in admin
  • To do this, I needed to localize the function first.

    Private notes plugin

    Saturday, December 16th, 2006

    More than a year ago, Fred of vituperation wrote a plugin to use private notes under wordpress. After installing this plugin on ochblog, pretty soon some users complained about errors they where getting. The funny thing was that not all users had this problem, most of them where fine.
