Wanted Pages

Using the author imageurl

Outside of the loop (this is from a header.php): 

<?php if( $request->display_entries_by_author && isset( $posts ) ) { ?>
<img src="<?php echo $posts[0]->author->info->imageurl; ?>" alt="Posts by <?php echo $posts[0]->author->displayname; ?>">
<?php	} else { ?>
<img src="header.png" alt="regular header image">
<?php	} ?>

I suppose I should point out that display_entries_by_author up there is from a custom version of 0.5.2, not a core feature (yet).


Textarea rows and cols on the publish page

(for /dev/plugin)

Textareas don't always need to be massive. This works for both tabcontrol_textarea and admincontrol_textarea templates. 

$instructions = $myform->append('textarea','plugin_version_instructions', 'null:null', Instructions');
$instructions->value = $plugin_versions->info->instructions;
$instructions->rows = '3';
$instructions->cols = '75';
$instructions->class[] = 'resizable';
$instructions->template = 'tabcontrol_textarea';


$Request display content

These are the possible display methods(? attributes?) for a $request object (plus any added through rewrite rules):

  • display_home
  • display_entries
  • display_entries_by_date
  • display_entries_by_tag
  • display_entry
  • display_page
  • display_search
  • display_404

In the example below I only want to display the search form when I am not displaying the search results page(s). 

<?php if( !($request->display_search ) ) { ?>
 
<li id="search">
<?php include 'searchform.php'; ?>
</li>
 
<?php } ?>


Friendlier ordinal comments links

"Friendlier" only in English, that is. 

<?
        // pointless and dirty hack.
        $ordinals = array("no","one","two"); ?>
 
<div class="feedback">
        <a href="<?php echo $post->permalink; ?>" title="Comments on this post"><?
 
        echo ($post->comments->approved->count >= count($ordinals) ? $post->comments->approved->count : $ordinals[$post->comments->approved->count ] );
        echo _n( ' comment', ' comments', $post->comments->approved->count );
 
        ?></a>


Counting words in a post

Not counting the title, though: 

<? echo count( explode( " ", strip_tags( $post->content_out ) ) ); ?> words.

This is the basis of my word count plugins.


XHTML to HTML

Wow. Amazingly easy way to fix all of the horizontal rules: 

UPDATE habari__posts SET content=REPLACE(content,'hr /','hr');


Pulling out the most recent entry outside of Habari

$conn = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password) or die ('Connection failed');
        mysql_select_db( $db );
 
        $query = "SELECT * FROM habari__posts where id = (SELECT max(id) 
                FROM habari__posts WHERE content_type = '1' and status = '2')";
 
        $result = mysql_query($query);
 
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
                $date = date("j F Y",strtotime($row['pubdate']));
                $title = $row['title'];
                $content = wpautop($row['content']);
        }
        mysql_close( $conn );


Merging to the makaanga

# svn co https://svn.habariproject.org/habari/makaanga/0.x/htdocs makaanga

Merge r3958-59 (note first rev is one less): 

# svn merge -r 3957:3959 https://svn.habariproject.org/habari/trunk/htdocs/

Merge r3962-64 (note first rev is one less): 

# svn merge -r 3961:3964 https://svn.habariproject.org/habari/trunk/htdocs/

Releasing a minor point release

See Release Checklist.

Make sure system/classes/version.php has been updated with the new version.

Tag it: 

svn copy https://svn.habariproject.org/habari/makaanga/0.x https://svn.habariproject.org/habari/tags/0.6.4

Create a zip for /dist - svn export only the https://svn.habariproject.org/habari/makaanga/0.x/htdocs folder, not everything.

Update the downloads page, both the post *and* the template. @TODO make updating the template obsolete by adding an option that can be edited.

Update the wiki - release notes and front page.

Update Wikipedia. Habari @ Wikipedia

Update the beacon.


Free webhosts that don't support Habari

x10Hosting - Installs fine, but Flickr silo does not work. Inactivity policy somewhat aggressive.

110mb.com - PHP5.1.6 and, as of 10/2009, no plans to upgrade to 5.2.anything.

UnlimitedMB - missing many extensions.

Host.sk - missing PDO.

T35 - forced ads on all pages, including admin. Unacceptable, and breaks admin.

iLive - Streams disabled and no Curl.


Installer testing (on hold for now)

I think I'll make a spreadsheet for this.

case db type / writable /user writable results
sqlite no no yes big red box

random musings, not ticket worthy until thought through

  • Would there be any merit to having a $comment->permalink? Instead of hardcoding {$comment-post->url}#comment-{$comment->id} in both the admin and the theme (as well as anywhere else) wouldn't it be more flexible to have a permalink function (as well as a configurable option) to do it?

Changing 'tag' in the URL to 'blah'

Quick and dirty way to customize the stock rewriterule URLs. 

public function filter_rewrite_rules( $rules )
    {
 
        foreach ( $rules as $rule ) {
 
            if ( $rule->name == 'display_entries_by_tag' ) {
                $rule->parse_regex = '#^blah/(?P<tag>[^/]*)(?:/page/(?P<page>\d+))?/?$#i';
                $rule->build_str = 'blah/{$tag}(/page/{$page})';
                $rule->update();
            }
        }
 
        return $rules;
    }

Monthly Archives link list

(thanks Rick) 

public function theme_monthly_archives_links_list( $theme, $full_names = TRUE, $show_counts = TRUE, $type = 'entry', $status = 'published' )
  {
    $results = Posts::get( array( 'content_type' => $type, 'status' => $status, 'month_cts' => 1 ) );
 
    $archives[] = '<ul class="archives">';
    foreach ( $results as $result ) {
      // what format do we want to show the month in?
      if( $full_names ) {
        $display_month = HabariDateTime::date_create()->set_date( $result->year, $result->month, 1)->get( 'F' );
      }
      else {
        $display_month = HabariDateTime::date_create()->set_date( $result->year, $result->month, 1)->get( 'M' );
      }
      // do we want to show the count of posts?
      if ( $show_counts ) {
        $count = ' (' . $result->ct . ')';
      }
      else {
        $count = '';
      }
      $result->month= str_pad( $result->month, 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT );
      $archives[] = '<li>';
      $archives[] = '<a href="' . URL::get( 'display_entries_by_date', array( 'year' => $result->year, 'month' => $result->month ) ) . '" title="View entries in ' . $display_month . '/' . $result->year . '">' . $display_month . ' ' . $result->year . ' ' . $count . '</a>';
      $archives[] = '</li>';
    }
    $archives[] = '</ul>';
    return implode( "\n", $archives );
  }
