  • Thoughts on recaptcha plugin in general:

    Regarding making the CSS a separate stylesheet but avoiding the performance hit: I would suggest making it a separate file, but then using PHP to insert its contents directly into the <head> of the page. That’s if you want to avoid the hit from the additional HTTP request.

    (I’m trying to figure out a similar issue with a plugin of mine that includes _two_ stylesheets!)

    Separately, I take issue with the fact that you think you can either be XHTML compliant _or_ require JavaScript. You can do both if the JavaScript degrades gracefully. (I assume the XHTML non-compliance involves a “target” attribute?)

    You can make it so that if there is no JavaScript, clicking the Submit actually takes you to a separate page with the Captcha. Yes, a popup is cleaner, but that’s my point — JS can make things neater, but is not required for basic function.

    Otherwise a great plugin!

    If I had the know-how I would make a Recaptcha plugin for Spam Karma ??

    WordPress version on that should read 2.5 RC 2. That would be a bug in the forum software….

    I know this is an old post, but I thought I would follow up….

    The new version of my Virtual Multiblog system includes a VUSER constant, which cleanly distinguishes which is the current blog. You could easily use this to call header-VUSER.php, or whatever you like.

    Hope it helps! ??

    Also, the link has changed:

    So… I click on the link and go to your site. i click the “download” link. That takes me to another page (still on your site) with another download link. I click on that, and after a few seconds pause I get a page that reads “Leecher!!!!!!”

    Nice plugin you’ve got there.

    Pity. it sounds useful.

    I’m not understanding what your plugin does, exactly.

    Generally if you fill in custom fields, you need to tinker with your theme to utilize that additional information. As they are custom fields, the theme has no way to know what they are going to be.

    Rok’s links are broken. Here are the correct links for those plugins:

    https://henning.imaginemore.de/pluginstaller/
    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/clean-options/

    Plugin authors can also make this situation better by putting options in an array and thus adding only one record to the Options table. Name that array/option after the plugin, and it will be clear what that record contains. Far too many plugin authors litter the options table with a new record for each separate option in their plugin.

    Also, if you change from multiple lines to an array in an update, stick in a cleanup function that will take the separate lines, convert them to the array, insert the array, and then _delete_ the old ones.

    SHORT VERSION: Give your options self-evident names and even manual cleanup is relatively easy. ??

    Hi — just discovered this discussion (I’m the multiblog guy — glad to see some discussion!) ??

    I only have a minute at the moment — might get back to this when I have a bit of time…

    What you might try is using the get_virtual_user() function to call the name of the current blog. (The function is defined in mb_functions.php)

    Then you can call header-<blogname>.php in your template <– that’s pseudocode, short on time!

    Hope that helps. One of these days I need to write up an extensive “tips” page for this system. The discussions surrounding it have turned up some interesting techniques. ??

    Thanks for the assist. Either of those seems to work.

    The behavior of the_ID() does seem to fly in the face of logic though — if the function returns the post ID, then why would it overwrite an entire other function containing it?

    Whatever — It’s working now. Thanks a bunch!

    Here is an expansion of that plugin with various options and a control panel. Enjoy!
