Latest tweets using SimplePie

It's taken me a while to warm to Twitter. I created the Quicklinks category on my blog for sharing things that didn't warrant a full post, but even that's too much effort sometimes—especially if it's just sharing a link. You might argue that's what bookmarking services like Digg and Delicious are for, but even then it's a multistep process. I've only recently become aware of just how well suited the Twitter API is to sharing links or updating your status message to multiple services with minimal effort. This post shares some PHP code to integrate your tweets within your WordPress blog, and code to simplify getting your WordPress posts into other people's tweets. The interconnectedness of tweeting A few examples: I use the Twitter updater plug-in to notify Twitter of new posts on my WordPress blog. Darkslide on my iPhone can post a Flickr image link via the iPhone Twitterrific app. Most of my links are discovered in my preferred RSS reader NetNewsWire, which can send these to desktop Twitterrific (News menu). The Twitter app for Facebook will update your Facebook status using your tweets. Twitter offer an RSS feed which can be used in conjunction with the SimplePie PHP library to bring tweets to your WordPress blog. This last example is the focus of this post. I will assume that you have already downloaded and correctly installed SimplePie for WordPress from here. A SimplePie template for Twitter Create a text file called tweets.tmpl containing the following: {IF_ERROR_BEGIN}{ERROR_MESSAGE}{IF_ERROR_END} {ITEM_LOOP_BEGIN} {ITEM_DATE_UTC}{ITEM_DESCRIPTION}# {ITEM_LOOP_END} Upload this file to the following directory on your server: /wp-content/plugins/simplepie-plugin-for-wordpress/templates/ Now for a little ...

CDFinder update will please geotaggers

I previously reviewed CDFinder, an asset manager that specialises in metadata, and looked at its potential role in the Mac geotagging workflow. The freshly-squeezed version 5.5 brings a few bug fixes, general enhancements, and of particular personal interest improved support for GPS-related functions. This post considers finding geotagged images, integration with other mapping services, integration with other geo-aware applications (via contextual menu modules), copying GPS locations, displaying KMZ files on your Google Map mash-up, and finding nearby images via your website. Finding geotagged images One option is to use the new GeoFinder. Click your way around the map, acquire a position from Google Earth, choose from a pre-set location or add a custom location to discover images within a custom radius of your starting point: Alternatively right-click any geotagged image (automatically badged with the Geotag Icon) for access to other images in your catalogue based on common IPTC header information or EXIF data: Integration with other mapping services CDFinder allows you to view the location of the current image using Google Earth or a good number of online mapping services (Flickr, Panoramio, MapQuest, Google Maps, SmugMug, WikiMapia, Woophy, OpenStreetMap, Geody, and Yahoo! Maps). You can also upload directly to Locr (account required): Integration with other geo-aware applications A number of Mac applications include contextual menu modules that let you access functionality by right-clicking an image in the Finder, for example. In the following screen capture the GPS-Info CMM and GraphicConverter modules are loaded: In terms of workflow you might add Automator actions or batch-process geotagged images using GraphicConverter ...

Publicizing WordPress post revisions

Bruce — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 09:26:22 +0000

From http://www.bioneural.net doi:tSglPpAB7a8nfM :

WordPress 2.6 introduced post revisions, a form of version control that allows you to review or revert to previous editions of a post or page on your WordPress blog. The value of this feature has generated some debate, largely because it's "on by default" with no easy toggle to disable it. The thing is notification of post revisions is private, within the admin interface. So how do you make the date of last editing public? One of my pet hates is undated web content; if there's no date I'll often move on without reading the page content. Sometimes you can glean the date of first publication from a post permalink, as in this example (day and name, in Settings > Permalinks): http://www.bioneural.net/2008/08/02/first-track-logger-for-iphone-released/ There are two problems with relying on this method alone: Did you first publish on August 2 or February 8? There are different ways of interpreting dates; It's only the date of first publication, not the date the post was last revised. Clarifying the date of publication One option is to time stamp the publication date in your theme (as many WordPress themes do), which introduces a little more flexibility to deal with the first issue by specifying the name of the month to combat ambiguity: A simple code snippet for this would be: Published by Bruce on August 4, 2008 Consult the Codex for options that allow you to customize the display of date and time formats in your theme. Showing "last modified" dates I've searched the Codex and the Forums for a means of getting the date of ...

bioneural.net site preference panel revisited

Bruce — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:06:51 +0000

From http://www.bioneural.net doi:tSglPpAB7a8nfM :

The first version of my site preference panel for WordPress needed lots of JavaScript for the toggle (Proto.aculo.us), more JavaScript to switch styles, and still more JavaScript to change text size. Version 2 still uses JavaScript for the toggle effect—but no additional load—since jQuery is already utilised by K2. The rest is accomplished using server-side PHP, and the revised 3-column panel layout makes use of more recent CSS know-how. I've tried to modularize the preferences panel as much as possible, but some simple template editing is still required (at 4 points). It is optimised for K2 (tested using RC3 and RC4) and although I haven't tested it with other themes (that's your job!) I don't see why it couldn't be used (*Some tweaking may be required. Batteries not included.) Get the files Let's get it done, then come back to the how and why if you're interested. Download the files to create your own preference panel as siteprefs.zip, available here. Expand the archive and upload the folder "siteprefs" into your K2 main directory: /wp-content/themes/k2/siteprefs/ At this point you may also want to download and activate the Theme Switcher plugin if you plan on allowing your audience to change the WordPress theme they see on a per-user basis (storing their preference in a cookie). Support for the plugin is built into the preference panel (see features, below). It's yours to play with and customise; all I ask is that you retain the little "i" icon with it's link back to these instructions. Feedback and suggestions for ...

Stop WordPress character replacements

Bruce — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 17:08:06 +0000

From http://www.bioneural.net doi:tSglPpAB7a8nfM :

Is WordPress altering your punctuation behind your back e.g. converting typewriter quotes (") to smart quotes (“ & ”)? It's down to the on-by-default wptexturize function. You can disable this by adding the following to your theme's functions.php file: remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize'); (for posts) and remove_filter('comment_text', 'wptexturize'); (for comments). Or, use a plugin.
