Google zet een grote stap richting vervanging van de desktop door online diensten. Je hebt eigenlijk alleen nog maar een browser nodig op je apparaat (of dat nu een pc, laptop, telefoon, mp3-speler of game console is) en een internet connectie. En een dadelijk een abonnement op de diensten van Google natuurlijk. Maar totdat we er allemaal verslaafd aan zijn, is Google documents gratis

This works fine for blogs hosted on wordpress.com, but with standalone setups of wordpress it doesn’t work at all.


That’s why I quickly put together a plugin that makes the bracket code work. I used the Quicktime posting plugin as a starter. Thank you, Shawn Van Every.

Usage
Setup your standalone wordpress blog at YouTube and send a video to your blog. Or just copy the url of the YouTube video you are watching and put it in your blog like this:

[ youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=4yX1F_nTcfc] (without the space between bracket and y, though).

You can also set the size of the video in your post. Do something like this: [ youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jjgk1-ac1I 150 100] (without the space between bracket and y, though).

YouTube.com directions
1. Go to YouTube.com
2. (Create an acount and) login
3. Go to ‘My Account/Account settings/Video posting Settings’
4. Choose ‘Add a Blog/Site’.
5. Choose ‘WordPress Self-Hosted’, fill in username and password of your WP blog, fill in api URL (http://your blog’s URL/xmlrpc.php) and a random WP API key (get one here).¹ and click on the ‘Add Blog’ button.
6. Watch a video at YouTube.com and choose ‘Post Video’ from the options below the video.

Download

YouTube Brackets 3.0

Changelog: Cleaner code, pretty url support (youtube.com/v/), css (span class youtube). -Special thanks to Mike Thompson-

Youtube Brackets 2.1

Changelog: Resolved conflict with Shawns great quicktime posting plugin and added html-comment around code.

YouTube Brackets 2 beta

Change log: Code now validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional (thanks to Karen). Is only tested with Firefox and Internet Explorer though, but most probably works with all browsers. If you want to be sure, use version 1 (below).

YouTube Brackets 1

Change log: Added size variables and cleaned up the code a bit.

YouTube Brackets 1 beta

Installation
Upload to plugin directory and activate through admin-section/plugins.

1. You have to register at wordpress.com in order to to get an api-key. You can register without creating a blog. It’s stupid YouTube asks for an API key with Self-Hosted WordPress blogs. They don’t need it at all. With Flickr you don’t have to provide an API key.

Miscrosoft heeft in één van haar laatste updates iets raars gedaan waardoor je ineens veel minder snel bestanden kunt downloaden via p2p software als BitComet, Limewire, etc. Je kunt dit verhelpen door dit programmaatje te starten en twee keer op de ‘Y’ toets te drukken.

1. Mailfeed greatly improves in some setups when you change

function RssItem($title, $description = "", $author = "", $category = "",
$pubDate = "", $guid = "")
{

to

function RssItem($title, $description = "", $author = "", $category = "",
$pubDate = "", $guid = "")
{

$description = strip_tags($description);


This hack strips all html tags (code) from the emailbody, reducing malfunctioning due to invalid html-code in your emails. It is especially usefull when incorporating the feed into a mediawiki wiki (which, in most configurations, doesn’t allow many html tags anyways) with the RSS-Feed Mediawiki extension.

2. The feed doesn’t validate, creating some problems, but when you change

function RssHeader()
{
header("Content-Type: text/xml");

to

function RssHeader()
{
header("Content-Type: application/xml");


it does (except for the date in some timezones, but that’s not a big problem.)!

Ben je geen computernerd dan heb je er waarschijnlijk geen last van, maar als je regelmatig dubieuze programma’s op je windoos installeert, zodat het ding, als je echt iets mee moet (scriptie schrijven) blijft hangen, dan is SVS van Altiris iets voor je. Het verpakt windows xp in een luchtdicht jasje van doorzichtig plastic, zodat het mooi schoon en onaangetast blijft. De geinstalleerde software merkt niets van de xp-condoom en weet niet beter dat het vruchtbare liefde bedrijft, maar wanneer je er genoeg van hebt, dump je haar zonder omwegen. Deinstalleren is niet nodig, het programma is immers niet echt geinstalleerd geweest, het dacht alleen maar dat het dat was!

I tried to apply the following hack, but it doesn't work as expected:

Replace in line 317 in edit-quotes.php action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" with action="edit-quotes.php" .

Placing edit-quotes.php into a different directory might work, because wordpress seems to direct post-attempt from 'wp-admin/edit.php?page=edit-quotes.php' to 'wp-admin/edit.php' instead of 'wp-admin/edit-quotes.php'. But even after editing line 7 this results in a warning: "Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/journal/wp-admin/admin.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/web1171:/tmp) in /www/web1171/html/journal/wp-content/plugins/wp-quotes/edit-quotes.php on line 8"

Even putting redirecting in /.htaccess doesn't seem to work! Tjee: REDIRECT /journal/wp-admin/edit.php?page=edit-quotes.php http://www.robertbuzink.nl/journal/wp-admin/edit-quotes.php

<div <?php echo $encloseDiv?>>
        <div class="<?php echo $quoteDiv?>"><marquee><?php echo $quote->quote; ?></marquee></div>
        <?php
        if ( !empty($quote->author) )
        {
            ?>
            <div class="<?php echo $authorDiv?>"><?php echo $quote->author;?></div>
            <?php
        }
        ?>
    </div>

Original code:

<div <?php echo $encloseDiv?>>
        <div class="<?php echo $quoteDiv?>"><?php echo nl2br($quote->quote); ?></div>
        <?php
        if ( !empty($quote->author) )
        {
            ?>
            <div class="<?php echo $authorDiv?>"><?php echo $quote->author;?></div>
            <?php
        }
        ?>
    </div>

As you can see I just added marquee tags and removed the nl2br() function.
