david raynes david raynes i am just a figment of my own imagination. damn you, ben hammersley! by rayners on october 1, 2007 10:53 pm | permalink | comments (0) | trackbacks (0) i haven’t been able to stop listening to this today: i must have gone through it seven or eight times so far. thanks, ben. spamsearch 0.1 by rayners on september 18, 2007 10:38 pm | permalink | comments (0) | trackbacks (0) based on a request made on pronet this evening, i whipped up a little plugin to run incoming search requests through the junk filtering mechanisms provided by movable type. grab it here: http://rayners.org/plugins/spamsearch-0.1.zip enjoy! an update to the javascript google technique for entry archives by rayners on september 14, 2007 2:00 pm | permalink | comments (0) | trackbacks (1) so i did a little more testing, and my original technique as written will not work with entry archives. but, with one minor change to the header template module, things will work just fine. continue reading an update to the javascript google technique for entry archives. helping out visitors from google by rayners on september 11, 2007 10:56 pm | permalink | comments (1) | trackbacks (1) first of all, let me start of by saying that javascript is not exactly a specialty of mine. i’m competent enough in it, but i’m sure there are folks out there that could implement this much better than i have. so, on with the show then. some of you who have been around mt for a couple years now might remember mt-refsearch. it was, and appears to still be, php and mysql only. since i use neither of those for my site, it hasn’t been an option for me. but i have managed to implement it with simple javascript and a new search template so that it will work for any mt configuration out there (i have only tested it with mt 4 though). continue reading helping out visitors from google. mediaconsumer 0.1 by rayners on september 10, 2007 10:48 pm | permalink | comments (0) | trackbacks (0) none of the existing media-based plugins fit my own personal needs, so i decided to write mediaconsumer. the key feature of mediaconsumer, for me at least, is the amount of data that is stored locally, and thus available for use and manipulation in template tags: release/publish date thumbnail url detail url consumation status (‘to be consumed,’ ‘consuming,’ and ‘consumed’) and dates of start and finish reviewed or not so, as an example, here is one particular use case i wanted to be able to make use of in my reading blog: listing the hugo award winning (tagged ‘hugowinner’) novels (type ‘book’) i have read (status ‘consumed’) in order of publication (sort_order ‘ascend’, sort_by ‘released_on’). <ul> <mt:medialist type="book" status="consumed" tag="hugowinner" sort_order="ascend" sort_by="released_on"> <li><mt:mediaitemtitle /> by <mt:mediaitemartist /> (published: <mt:mediaitemreleased format="%y" />)</li> </mt:medialist> </ul> it’s still very much in the development. it probably won’t work, it may destroy your site, or drive you to read more. new features are already in the works (e.g. adding ‘reviewed=”1”’ to mt:medialist will limit the items to only those that have been reviewed). give it a shot if you’re up for it. let me know what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see. enjoy! get it here: http://apperceptive.com/plugins/mediaconsumer/download/mediaconsumer-0.1.tar.gz http://apperceptive.com/plugins/mediaconsumer/download/mediaconsumer-0.1.zip qotd 0.1.1 by rayners on august 31, 2007 10:48 pm | permalink | comments (2) | trackbacks (0) have you used vox? one of my favorite parts of that site was the questions it posed to you on a daily basis. nothing like a good prompting when you’re lacking inspiration for a blog post. i haven’t been using vox much lately, and i have missed that functionality, so i thought i would bring it along to movable type. the result? my new qotd plugin. just grab it here, unpack it into the main mt directory and you will have a new widget available for your mt dashboard’s sidebar. enjoy! what a day! by rayners on august 28, 2007 11:00 pm | permalink | comments (0) | trackbacks (0) first, i see a hummingbird outside on our deck while i am feeding the boys breakfast. i can’t ever remember seeing a live hummingbird before, much less a wild one. for some reason, i thought they didn’t come this far north. secondly, jenn got an email from somebody at best buy corporate who, when she called him, offered us a $50 gift card for the crap she went through trying to exchange a computer game a month or so back. she turned it down, of course. finally, me and some of the other apperceptive folks were interviewed by six apart. i think that’s my first actual honest-to-goodness interview anywhere. and now i’m worried that my ‘plugin zen’ comment is going to come back and bite me in the butt. a few new plugins for mt by rayners on august 23, 2007 11:53 pm | permalink | comments (4) | trackbacks (0) recently i decided to play around some with mt 4, and after being inspired by the screenshots for mark carey’s vistor stats plugin, i tossed together a few of my own stat display widgets for the three services i like to keep my eye on: feedburnerwidget googleanalyticswidget googleadsensewidget both of the google widgets require that you have the perl module crypt::ssleay installed so that https urls can be accessed by perl. my entry plugin is no longer needed by rayners on august 19, 2007 11:51 pm | permalink | comments (2) | trackbacks (0) thanks to movable type 4, it would appear that we no longer need my old entry plugin anymore. by passing an id argument to the mtentries tag. <mtentries id="12345" lastn="1"> .... </mtentries> or, for those of you digging the new template sytax: <mt:entries id="12345" lastn="1"> .... </mt:entries> the lastn argument is needed thanks to a bit of a quirk in the mt code. using the id argument is an undocumented feature, as far as i can tell. continue reading my entry plugin is no longer needed. archives tag cloud plugins javascript templates qotd monthly archives october 2007 (1) september 2007 (4) august 2007 (4)  subscribe in a reader search recent entries damn you, ben hammersley! spamsearch 0.1 an update to the javascript google technique for entry archives helping out visitors from google mediaconsumer 0.1 qotd 0.1.1 what a day! a few new plugins for mt my entry plugin is no longer needed photos categories plugins (6) powered by movable type publishing platform
