It’s great! I love the black plastic design. I would love to have it handy, please!

I am having serious problems with PHPGiggle. I did everything described in the plugin readme but when I enter the admin menu I get the following messages:

Notice: Undefined variable: href_target in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\wordpress\phpgiggle\phpgiggle-config.inc.php on line 44

Notice: Undefined variable: QUERY_STRING in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\wordpress\phpgiggle\index.php on line 26

The first error can be removed by uncommenting the line mentioned: //$href_target=”external”; The second error I haven’t so far decoded neither know what to do to make the $QUERY_STRING appear in the index.php…

It is an excellent idea and looking at the cool prizes so far, I am really sure it will attract a lot of incredible coding talents. I personally am looking towards the promised wiki – it would be great if we users can also publish there our plugin ideas so developers could could take ideas directl from users that would benefit from their work.

And the 500$ award from weblogs.us is for a very promising competition – something that helps bloggers connect to each other and build better interconnections and information flow. Might even give birth to a successor to what trackback is. ?? I am really looking towards this…

Myself I once hoped for a plugin that allows blogs to automatically “push” posts to other blogs via two-way permission system that allows the receiver to automatically publish an article with quotes and links to the original blog, either separate posts or a single post with user-defined style (lists, etc.). This way, imagine I have tons of friend bloggers and I want to publish a summary of their activity and also comment on each of their posts, maybe drop some that don’t interest me too. Instead running mad and collecting information from their sites, my own blog collects quotes that are “pushed” by those blogs because they have my blog address in respective “push-lists”, and builds a special type of post, that is by default a draft. I can, using a simple admin interface, add comments to each quote, delete quotes, move quote-comment up and down, add icons for interesting, curious, fun, etc. Then the whole thing – all those quotes and their respective comments – are formatted in a nice single post and published on the forum. While this doesn’t bring a revolution to blog-2-blog communication, it greatly eases the whole “flow of information” from information source to the “neighbors”.

Thank you for the reply. Indeed, I planned posting “my recent finds” directly because my upload speed sucks (capped at 4kbps), so this would have worked great for me. But I understand the reasons against this.

There’s something else that I want to replicate from Coldforged.org that I just remembered – the asides box. I am using a different asides plugin (RustAsides) which seems to be easier to implement (no hacking, uses additional fields, etc.) but I wanted to have the cool rounded corder design on Coldforged. So far I implemented it using a screenshot of the box, cleaning it, changing colors and using as css background image… but you know the limitations of this method. I am wondering what can be done to the css so that it has the same design – a logo and rounded corners?

Thanks a lot! I implemented in no more than five minutes and it blends gorgeously with my Kibrik-deviation. I also checked the site – it’s chock full of css goodness.

How about removing those // comments from the <?php ?> codes? I haven’t put any, and it works for me.

Thanks a lot for your help. This is one of my favourite plugins – the second I saw it on Coldforge.org I knew this is what I need for visitors who come rarely.

I ask because I am not sure if all is set well and if I won’t run into “permanent new” status… you know, the usual paranoia from someone who’s not very content with hacking PHP code.

Okay I did it. I had to <?php ?> each function, without any other changes. It went perfectly clean. I also tested it and noticed it shows a new sign even for the admin and also it doesn’t seem to disappear immediately after the topic is checked – what is the algorithm used, if you know it, and when will “new” posts and comments lose their status?

Ah you found it – many thanks. But I guess I will be requiring your help a little more here, because I have near zero PHP skills. While I don’t ask for verbose step by step explanation – I guess I need some hints how to format these commands. The readme with the plugin says:

/*———————————

include this code in your main page
this must appear before any HTML has been sent

———————————*/

// include functions in my-hacks.php or index.php and wp-comments-popup.php
require_once(“wp-last_visit.php”);

// set lastvisit cookie
ak_set_last_visit_cookie();

/*———————————

this functions should be called outside the posts loop:

———————————*/

// show # new posts/comments banner
ak_since_last_visit();

/*———————————

these functions should be called within the posts loop:

———————————*/

// show indicator if post is new
ak_new_post();

// show indicator if comment(s) are new
ak_new_comments();

/*———————————

this functions should be called within the posts comments loop:

———————————*/

// show indicator if a comment is new on main page
ak_new_comment();

// show indicator if a comment is new in comments pop-up page
ak_new_comment_popup();

Thank you. I tried to install this script, but I started getting errors after I started adding the first lines of code. it says:

Step 3.

Add this line within the <head> tags of your index.php and wp-comments-popup.php pages.

<?php require(bloginfo(‘url;’).’/wp-content/plugins/wp-last-visit.php?type=js’); ?>

Kubrik doesn’t have head in index.php so I tried putting it in the header.php file… then errors started coming out.
