Forums and Wikis: Providing conversation-knowledge linkage for Wordpress MU

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Below is a copy of an email I sent to Wordpress Pro mailing list addressing the dynamic between information stored in a wiki and knowledge spurred on by conversations in a forum. In it I make recommendations as to why and how to link the two assuming that the community won’t shift to a pure […]

Feedwordpress wiki for users contributions

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

I know Charles is really busy, so I’ve set up a wiki for Feedwordpress at http://feedwordpress.pbwiki.com/ ; it would be better if Charles put a wiki for Feedwordpress at radgeek.com, but until he does, at least people who need to use his software can collaborate with one another.

Added ‘email subscribe to’ my wpmu blog

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

I just spent a few hours this morning installing, configuring and troubleshooting http://subscribe2.wordpress.com/tag/installation/
The idea is that readers can register and get emailed about certain categories of topic I write about, as many people are not yet using an RSS reader. This would especially be a boon to my friends and family back home most of […]

A ratings system for postings?

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

I tap away at this blogging malarky for many reasons but, as in everything, I strive to improve.
So, I was looking to augment the technology powering this blog, with a means to gather quick feedback. ds-rating-plugin is a candidate: it provides the means to allow readers to star-rate postings.
Ideally I’d have it provide ratings along […]

SK2 on WPMU - Reset all tables on all blogs

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

Question to DrDave, inventor of http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/
DrDave: I recently moved my wpmu installation between hosts. In doing so I inadvertantly went from MySQL 5 to MySQL 4.
That then caused problems about autoincrement flags on the sk2 tables… so I deleted all the sk2 tables reasoning that if the tables were missing then sk2 would recreate […]

Wordpress - default links

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

Wordpress mu has some stupid defaults that means admins have to hack some core files.
I just submitted http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/109#comment:6
That gives the admin the ability to override the default links that appear in the blogroll.
Hopefully it will make the next release.

Wordpress Widgets - not just for the sidebar.

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

The files below are from my hacked version of widgets. It implements a render replacement of [[Widget Name]] with a call to that widget. This means widgets are freed from the sidebar and can be embedded into a posting.

widgets/README.txt - needs updating
widgets/widgets.php - see diff
widgets/wpmu_widget_bindings.php - this maps [[]] names to functions
widgets/mrjc_widgetize_function.php - this holds […]
