That was amazingly done! Yes, please bring it over to our wiki. I was holding off working on it for the DreamObjects plugin, since my tests showed that using DO as my CDN didn’t help as much as I wanted due to the lack of true CDN support.
There are other plugins and stand-alone apps that are starting to allow that info to be editable, because we’re not the only company getting on board with the cloud like this ??

In reply to: What type of cache do I use on VPN?Sorry it took so long to reply! WP’s supposed to email me and it seems to be hanging a little.
You are correct, we only have xCache with PHP 5.2. You don’t have to use caching with your opcode, and in fact unless you’re having a significant amount of traffic, may not need it at all.
Right now, DreamObjects doesn’t offer full CDN services. It’s a ‘Yet’ thing, however, we’re working on it!
I think that all that is needed is a box with the endpoint API server, defaulting to Amazon’s S3 (or RackSpace’s), but being editable (so that I can change it to objects.dreamhost.com, in my case). That would be awesome!
That would be awesome!

In reply to: WordPress Network on Dreamhost?Hi, dottavi, I’m both DreamHost’s resident WP guru, and a savvy Multisite master ?? So hopefully I can help you out!
One of the more annoying problems that pops up with Multisite is that redirect loop. Normally this is actually a cookie problem.
The fix is actually pretty easy, and there are three things to do.
1) Edit your wp-config.php.
Visit https://api.www.ads-software.com/secret-key/1.1/salt/ and get new salts/hashes. This should prompt your users to re-login and hopefully generate new cookies.
2) Dump your cache.
Sometimes, however, browsers are idiots and you have to flush the local cache. You shouldn’t need to dump caching plugins, since that doesn’t impact logins.
3) Delete your cookies.
I hate this one. Delete the cookies only for your domain if possible. Chrome hides this, but it’s doable for all sites.
I don’t see an install on your server right now (I see three folders, but they seem not to be full installs), so I can’t look any further.
We don’t have it on by default, and the only way to do this is to compile PHP yourself.

In reply to: What type of cache do I use on VPN?You can stay with W3TC on your VPS with us.
If you want, you can install memcache on your server: https://wiki.dreamhost.com/Memcached
You may already have XCache installed, and you can certainly use that with Opcode Caching and W3TC ??

In reply to: Dropbox embed field? How to create access to dropbox folder.That can be done. ??
I added in some code yesterday to my DreamObjects plugin which lets authors and up (i.e. anyone who can upload media) upload files to a bucket on DreamObjects, since that made sense ?? Only Admins can pick the bucket.
Right now it just shows a list of the files on the backend, which makes it easy to control who can see the files. For further viewing though, are you looking at backend (i.e. only logged in members) or something for the front end?
FWIW, I’ll probably push the code for the uploader today or tomorrow ??

In reply to: Hosting and memory questionsYikes! Get your wrist better! (I broke my arm as a kid, right before exams, not fun)
PHP memory is ‘How much memory can PHP use before it’s a problem.’ Think of it as a limit, like how many hours you can work. Above 8 per day, and you have a problem (depending on your boss).
Memory is ‘How much memory can I use as a whole.’ If we extend the work example, there’s a hard limit to 24 hours a day, so you clearly cannot possibly work more than 24 hours in one day ?? However if you needed to work OT, you could feasibly work 10 hours within the 24.
The reason you want to limit PHP is that if it uses up too much memory, then your server can’t do anything else. Just like if Jack Bauer didn’t have commercial breaks in 24, he’d never be able to take a shower or tie his shoes.

In reply to: What is a blocked plug-in?It could be Feedburner’s doing, then. They have been making a lot of changes.
By the way, you may want to tell your cache software not to cache the mobile pages so aggressively. I got your mobile page on my desktop.

In reply to: What is a blocked plug-in?Right, flash is a plugin to your browser, you see ?? Same term.
What email subscription plugin are you using? I don’t see one I’m familiar with.

In reply to: What is a blocked plug-in?I still don’t see any big blocks of space.
However I think I know what the user means by blocked plugin ?? She means Flash, not a WP plugin. Basically they can’t see youtube.
It’s not you, it’s them. Nothing you can do except tell them to try Chrome.

In reply to: What is a blocked plug-in?If you mean the twitter ideas site, I don’t see anything at all like that on your blog.
I do see that you have some ads not showing:
<img border="0" src="https://www.[link].com/idevaffiliate/banners/120x6002_1_ani.gif" width="120" height="600" alt="twitter tools">
but other than that, no errors at all.
I would note that you have 14 plugins in need of updating on that site.
