Plugins

Michael Dale

I'm slowing building up a collection of plugins I've written for Bluetrait...

Bluetrait Search 1.0

Michael Dale

I've made public the search plugin I wrote for this site.

It can be downloaded from here and is under the "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License".

The plugin requires Bluetrait 2 and MySQL.

It probably won't be any use to anyone as Bluetrait 2 isn't even in Beta yet ;)

Categories

Michael Dale

Well I can finally edit posts :)

So I'm slowing going through my old posts and adding some categories to them.

I need to add some more categories but I can't do that yet :p

Bluetrait 2 Code Example 2

I've released another Bluetrait 2 code example

How to enable PHP on Mac OS Leopard

Michael Dale

To enable php:

1. open terminal


2. cd /etc/


3. sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini


4. cd /private/etc/apache2/


5. sudo nano httpd.conf


6. uncomment the two modules: php5_module and fastcgi_module. They were at line 114 and 115 for me.


7. Use ctrl and o to save


8. reload apache (can be done from system preferences).

ipod touch running Bluetrait 2

Michael Dale

After hacking my ipod, I installed Apache and PHP. I was successfully able to install the sqlite version of Bluetrait 2 onto my ipod!

There were some small bugs, I haven't yet pin-pointed them down yet but I believe it may have been due to the setup of PHP.

So yeah that was pretty cool, pointless but cool :)

Commenting is back.

Michael Dale

I've re-enabled commenting as I've written in spam filtering. There might be a few issues, but we'll see how it goes.

Site Upgrade

Michael Dale

This site has just been upgraded to Bluetrait 2. I expect that there will be a few errors.

I may need to disable comments as I haven't written any spam filtering yet!

RSS feeds should be better as they now use the pubDate tag (meaning you shouldn't be seeing the same post over and over again in your rss reader).

Categories should work too, plus you can append /rss/ to the end of a category link and it should display just the posts for that category.

And there is a little bit of jquery used for the "Click for comments help." section.

If you find any bugs please send me an email via the contact link.

Notepad++

Michael Dale

I've been using Notepad++ for all my PHP coding within Windows. It's awesome.
