Delete all leading and trailing spaces and carriage returns from the top and bottom of the plug in file if they are in there.

Please make a backup of your database before using this. I believe it is working but I would hate for anything bad to happen. I nuked my comments table the first time out but believe its cool now ??

If it all seems familier code wise its basically a rip off of the comment auto-close. I guess the two could be combined and work nicely.

Well its what I’ve built ;-D –I’ll keep an eye on that to see how it goes.

I did notice your XML took a while to load – probably 10 seconds or more before it even started ..

Your RSS is validating just fine, and I have no problems accessing it with various ways using differing software. I don’t have time to log into Bloglines but I am guessing the problem is on their end as you suspected.

If the content is within the same database you could alter the SQL statements that withdraw the data for the RSS and use a Union Statement — otherwise it’d be laborious and slow and ultimatly a pain in the rear.

Add the following line to your CSS file withing #content. It may already be there as The text-align: left; in which case edit it. Don’t change anything else ??
The text-align: justify;
Example …
#content {
position:relative;
text-align: justify;
font: 80% Tahoma, Arial, Serif;
}

And that PHP is not necessarily supported on Apache2 even if it runs okish – the PHP people are not ready to stand behind it yet and have zillions of disclaimers scattered throughout there documentation.

It is possible however the need for WP is to move toward supporting multiple databases rather than just MySQL. I wrote a PHP ‘wrapper’ that enables me to use Oracle and MySQL for an application I created and there is the pear::db project out there that will allow support of many more. As it is if you stick to ANSI sql the queries should work on Oracle however the bigger issue is that the Oracle functions in PHP don’t quite work the same way and so its not so much a quick translation but writing wrapper functions that produced result sets in a fashion that WP is expecting.
The OCI8 extension would be required to use with PHP, you also have to have the Oracle Client installed – I presume it already is.

Problem — MySQL 4.1.7 cannot be connected to by the standard PHP MySQL Extension. You have to the the mysqli extension instead. The problem with that is all the function names in the mysqli extension are different and I don’t believe there is support for it in WordPress at this time.
If I am correct, which I am pretty sure I am you will need to step back down to a 4.0.x verion *or* getting hacking away in PHP and provide us with a layer that can handle multiple databases. (WP support for Pear::db would be real nice)

If anybody wants to help me test this drop me an email at [email protected] — it should be ready sometime this coming weekend if not the week after.

The above might come in handy for those unable to edit the httpd.conf files —

I hacked my comment-post file to kill the poker spammers. I am working on a better solution I posted about in the one of the other forums.
if ($url == “https://video-poker.ownsthis.com”) {
die( __(‘Pwned — Sorry!’));
}
Its basic, but I pop it in the post file somewhere after the check for flooding and just tweak the URL depeding on the bot. It seems its using the same URL on mine for a couple of days. This stops stuff ever reaching my mod que, stops the emails – until they switch the URL.
