404 – File says, “Goodbye and thanks for the fish.”

I think you should refer to https://shirei.org/!/blog/index.php?static=archives.html, not just https://shirei.org/!/blog/index.php?static=archives.

I am also having problems – the backup file is always 0-bytes.
Otherwise excellent idea, I wish the author can fix the bugs and implement also “website backup in a tar.gz” similar to Backup/Restore plugin so I can ditch it.

“WYSIWYG for post’s entry” – WYSI-WordPress, simply the best (if a little buggy) solution. Check the author’s website (mudbomb.com).

Thanks for the links. It must be my unlucky day on the subject, because of all solutions the only that fits the bill – the last link leading to a JavaScript DOM inspector that encapsulates the first letter after <div id=”entry”> – doesn’t work if the paragraph starts with a tag and my WYSI-WordPress does just that…. *sigh*

So without sounding too much picky, I am still trying to find a solution that adds <span id=””></span> around the first letter of the paragraph but takes in account that the post may start with an HTML tag. Maybe a modification of this JS script – the author mentions it’s easy to add a check for if the paragraph starts with a tag but so far haven’t fixed it…

Great plugin. I really love it’s versatility but I have to make a small feature request – is it possible for the plugin to work not only with <exec> tags but also [exec] tags, in BBCode fashion. I am using a WYSIWYG post editor (WYSI-Wordpress) which converts HTML to vieweable code and does not allow internal HTML editing unless I turn the plugin off. It would greatly simplify my life if the code could accept BBCode-lik [tags]. Thanks in advance.

Good idea, but I would extend it further and generalize the concept. Instead changing the title with some custom php call, how about making a script that, depending on the age of the post, wraps the post in custom CSS style, with a number of stages, manually set, 5 is a good default. The script would look at the age, check defined “age groups” and add a number to a class name, for example -age1, -age2, -age3, -age4, etc. Then these classes can be added to the style.css.

I was looking for that too, thank you, Podz.

Thanks for the straightforward answer on this. I apologize if I have been pushing too far for those features.

RSS: Via plugins, many available. Excellent features.
Audio: Upload, yes. Playing, via plugin. One available.
Video: Upload, yes. Playing, yes.
Streaming: Via Plugin
Sub-categories: Yes, out of the box.
Spam prevention: Over three dozen and counting plugins.
HTML/Scripting: Both user interface and admin (to some degree) are customizable, easy to integrate HTML, CSS and PHP script function calls. Over 200 themes available for WordPress as of now. Editing the templates is a bliss (consider this, I am a newbie without any CSS and PHP knowledge and I made a hell blog custom design out of available solutions and picking a lot of details here and there).

1. Thumb support for GIF, JPG, PNG.
2. Attach thumb to post, appearing in a box float:left/right inside post (usually the beginning, but also can be added inside with a tag), with separate CSS styles. Click leads to image in gallery
3. The ability to download images from URL. I am running a gaming blog and I would greatly benefit from the ability to upload screenshots from official websites with the host’s superior speed rather than having to download and upload by hand.
4. The ability to attach a watermark over images.
5. I guess some copyright-touchy people (photographs, etc.) could benefit from Flash preloader with internal watermarking (some effect that puts watermark over).

Thanks for the reply, Ringmaster! And here come the questions:

1. Is there a chance that we will see GIF and PNG support in the next versions of Exhibit? Please…

2. I didn’t understand the whole class idea, I know I can change the design of the box where the thumb is shown, but I can’t get it (or I don’t know how) to appear within the text, or next to the title, or similar.

3. The “extract from other website” idea isn’t that copyright-infringingly-dangerous as you might think. First, it’s not about putting other people’s images stored on their website on my website and stealing bandwidth – the image is downloaded once and stored locally. It just saves my downloading and uploading of that image by using the host’s superior speeds. If Exhibit doesn’t do it, I would have to do it by hand, and nothing can stop me. The reason I need is to download and store screenshots from official game websites that are released for free and are meant to spread – that’s the point for releasing them, after all. I simply don’t have the time and bandwidth (especially upload, im horrendously capped at 4kbps) to work by hand with each screenshot, especially if a game releases 20-30 at once, 200-300k each. With Exhibit downloading them automatically, I could do this in several minutes instead half an hour.

I am sure people are going to suggest better ways of dealing with this, but here’s mine. Find other blogs that you like. Talk to the bloggers. Get friends. Make sure information on your blog interests them so they visit your blog and read it. If they like the information they find, they will quote and credit you. Their visitors will travel to your blog and become visitors. This is the best way, in my opinion.

It’s a very stylish blue. tho. I really liked it.

This is awesome hack! I was searching for the exact thing today and while I was thinking about something more classy (adding “-ie” to the existing style, for example <div class=”something<? php if IE then echo “-ie” ?>/>, this works too and it works fine! Thanks a lot!
