yeah I know. I’m not new to it so don’t give me that free stuff thing. ??
I was just saying that this is an important issue, just like comment spam & needs to be dealt with asap.

podz, the solution to trackback spam that you have there is of no actual use, not atleast to me. I just don’t trust Spaminator completely, so even after having it enabled, I’ve also got moderation of all comments/trackbacks/pingbacks enabled so that every comment/trackback/pingback that survives Spaminator ends up in moderation & I approve it before it appears. So as suggested on that page, trackbacks already end up in moderation for me. The second solution suggested is to close trackbacks which I won’t, as I said in my first post. Just b’coz I’m being hit by spammers, I won’t give in by closing them & leaving out the odd legit trackback that I might get.
And the problem is that spam trackbacks/pingbacks aren’t just 2-3 in number, they are a lot more, sometimes more than 50, sometimes more than 200, making it tough to delete them. ??

btvillarin:

I don’t understand how it got through because:

a) I close my comments after 10 days
b) The trackback was for a post made back in October 2004

Its because shutting off comments is not same as shutting off trackbacks & pingbacks. each of them needs to be shutoff seperately.

The spammer hasn’t made any trackbacks/pingbacks in the last couple of days but I’m sure he or someone will be back at it again.

Something must be done about this.

a long comment that uses a line continuation character (space underscore) isn’t all green as it should be. I’m (almost) sure the line continuation character is common to VBA and VB.

This isn’t supported as of yet, however you are welcome to suggest this to the GeSHi developer by going to GeSHi website at https://qbnz.com/highlighter/

If you have a chance, could you look at the blank line issue I’m having. In the second code block on this post
https://www.dicks-blog.com/archives/2004/12/07/using-copypaste-in-userforms/
The “Option Explicit” is one font and everything after the blank line is another. If I put a space in that blank like (or anything else), then it formats everything the same.

I’ll look into it, its pretty strange. Are you using the latest version after the bugfix?

dkusleika:

Can I add keywords to the array in vb.php (I already added one, but is it alright to add them and is there a limit)?

Yes, you can add keywords to any language file, there’s no limit. If you want, you can share your vb.php file so that it can be put in the next release.

Can I change the font-family to “Courier New, Courier, monospace” and where would I do that?

Yes, you can change the font-family too. In the plugin file on line 737 starts the function that outputs the styles for the code boxes. You can put your own styles in there.

tell me why the code is in a scrollable text box?…….It doesn’t show that way in the preview when I’m editing the post, just on the site.

The scrollbars are there by default so that long lines in your code are not wrapped in multiple lines & confuse readers. You can disable them by commenting line #742. Also it doesn’t show in the preview as the head action which outputs the styles applies only to posts & not in admin section.
Oh!! I see you already configured the scrollbars in code boxes. ??
zertox:

the plugin works in 1.3 but the page wont be valid xhtml anymore
i checked and it adds “p” tags around the 2 closing divs?

Well that’s strange!! The plugin works OK in v1.2 & v1.2.1 without any of those tags. That’s a v1.3 bug, you should report it.
Anyway another bug came to my notice as of that. So guys, an update is available, please download the fixed plugin file, no need to download the whole package again if you already have v2Final.

I’ve just released the v2.0 Final of iG:Syntax Hiliter. It has lots of new things & its really really better than before. Go ahead & take it out for a spin. ??

I’ve just released iG:Syntax Hiliter v2.0 Preview. It has new GeSHi core(v1.0.1) & has line numbering by using Ordered Lists & it prevents formatting of your code by WordPress. More info & download link at https://blog.igeek.info/still-fresh/2004/09/21/igsyntax-hiliter-2-preview/.

well, as I’ve been a bit busy for the past week, the work on next version has really slowed down. ??
But I’ll try to release it ASAP.

Good. Thanks.

New version of iG:Syntax Hiliter is out guys with Line Numbering. ??

anyone ??

@davidprince:-

as I don’t comletely understand physical path

Create a new PHP file & copy the following code in it.


<?php
$pPath = $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"];
echo $pPath;
?>


Name this file as path.php & place it the same directory where you have placed geshi.php & the geshi directory. Call this file in the browser. So if you have placed this file in the wp-contents directory, then you call it as https://davidblog.ws/blog/wp-content/path.php Copy whatever the file outputs on screen, & remove path.php from its end. Now you have the physical path of the directory where geshi.php & geshi directory resides. Place this path in the $pPath variable of your syntax_hilite.php file. Just make sure that it has no spaces at either end of it & it ends with a trailing slash(/).
@benramsey:-

Looks like your site’s either down, or a router is down between me and your site.

The site isn’t down or I would have known. I’ve got 5 website monitoring services checking on it all the time. ?? Looks there’s a problem with the router between you & the website.

Have you followed the directions in the Manual word-to-word?
The syntax_hilite.php file should be in your plugins directory.
Before activating the plugin, change $pPath variable to the physical path to the directory(wp-includes recommended) where you uploaded the geshi directory & geshi.php, also note that relative paths won’t work.

check your connection again. The webserver is online & accessible. Try https://blog.igeek.info/ instead of just putting blog.igeek.info ??
