If someone whose Perl skillz are a bit less lame than mine would like to do a Movable Type plugin that returns an RSS 0.9x/2.0 <skipHours> tag for a given set of local hours, that would be wonderful. I’m thinking along the lines of <MTSkipHours hours=”23-6″> which would then return: <skipHours> <hour>7</hour> <hour>8</hour> <hour>9</hour> <hour>10</hour> […]
How to hack Brad Choate’s Sanitize plugin into Comments.pm so that unwanted code is stripped from comments before they are saved, rather than just when the page is rendered.
If you are using my convert line breaks hack to stop MT from adding <p> and </p> around block-level elements like tables and lists, you will want to update your hack to the newly posted version: Ben glanced at it and pointed out that it would be far faster with a slightly more sensible regex. […]
Jonathon reminds me of something I noticed, agitated about for a while, and then dropped: Movable Type’s handling of author names could use some rethinking. The default MT template for RSS 0.91 skates around the problem by having an empty webMaster element, but the RSS 1.0 template includes <dc:creator><$MTEntryAuthor encode_xml=”1″$></dc:creator> for each item. Since MTEntryAuthor […]
Inspired by Kristine’s totally twisted idea of a bookmarklet-accessible category TrackBack URL for the index page, CategoryTrackbackData is a first shot at a plugin to add TrackBack RDF to your category archive pages. Download the plugin, unzip, upload to your plugins directory, and add <$MTCategoryTrackbackData$> or <$MTCategoryTrackbackData comment_wrap=”0″$> to your category archive template (outside the […]
While I’ve never had a problem with allowing HTML in my comments (other than the time I left an <i> open), there are plenty of tags that I don’t really want anyone being able to post, not to mention that I really don’t want people posting PHP in comments. Thanks to Brad Choate’s Sanitize plugin, […]
Since there seems to be a bit of buzz about RSS feeds of comments today (even though it’s so last January), I thought I’d throw together an RSS 1.0 comment feed template to go with my (well, mostly Bill Kearney’s) RSS 0.91 template. Along the way, I added a plugin, since you can’t get at […]
Coming soon to a Movable Type installation near you: MT 2.5 will allow you to ping blo.gs and other weblogs.com compatible services, obsoleting my hack to do it, and will stop spam-pinging weblogs.com, only pinging when an entry is first published (whether its a new entry, or newly going from draft to publish), obsoleting my […]
Tonight’s second plugin from the Ulrich Plugin Foundry is an interesting twist on TrackBack: TrackForward is a plugin to list the TrackBack urls that an entry pinged, for easy gathering by the next person to come into a conversation. This entry is pinging his, so the TrackBack popup will have an example of TrackForward in […]
I didn’t realize how much I was missing Blogger’s late, surprisingly not very lamented, “remote editing” feature, until I put in the other Phil’s new plugin, EntryEditLink, which links your choice of text (my choice being one of the pipes in the byline) to the page to edit your entry (assuming, of course, that you […]
