Live Space Sync 1.0

Posted in wordpress at 2:49 am

Check list:

  1. Some of your friends doesn’t check web pages everyday, and don’t even know what is rss.
  2. You want you blog to be read by your friends more, but you don’t want to push them to read your entry everytime when you make a new one.
  3. Live Messenger will show a flower before the contact list when someone has updated his space, and you think that is a good non-aggressive way to advertise your blog.
  4. But you think Live Space sucks and you’re using wordpress.

If you match these conditions above, then Live Space Sync plug-in is perfectly for you.

Live Sync is a plug-in that allows you to synchronized WordPress post to Live Spaces, facilitating MetaWeblog API.

It was based on MSN Sync plug-in and original version of MSN Sync was created by William. The author hadn’t continue developing it so I modified it to complete the functions.

Download and Description.

Known issue: clear text would still be post on Live Space even with password-protected.

SK2-WP-Cache-Compatibility plugin

Posted in wordpress at 9:00 pm

When you use Spam Karma 2 with WP-Cache, cached files are not flushed after a successfully comment approval.

That’s basically because SK2 intercepts some actions, WP-Cache will not get notified.

I create a small plug-in for SK2, that will directly call wp-cache to flush cache, after a comment is approved.

Download this zip, extract and drop the php into sk2_plugins directory, it should just work.

Note:

  1. wp-cache 2.1.0 is out, please install 2.1.0 and delete old cache before you complain this compatibility plug-in is not working.
  2. Turn off ‘encrypted payload’ check in sk2, see the reason updated below.

Updated: There’s a problem discovered by Reiner), sk2 generates some dynamic hidden field to check if the page is really loaded by a browser before the comment is posted.

The ‘encrypted payload’ plug-in will cause the biggest problem, since it contains an ‘ip’ field that generated base upon client’s ip.

With wp-cache, encrypted payload will be fixed, so the ip will not match the real commenter’s ip. IP mismatch will cause a minus 2.5 karma, which will prevent many normal comments comes in.

Posted in wordpress at 3:46 am

In 2.1 seems there’s no way to get extra space using <br /> and linebreaks.

I love linebreaks, and wordpress dev-team hates linebreaks.
