I was and still am going to install Greasemonkey plugin for my SwiftFox (optimived version of Firefox, with patches an code optimization for CPU in use).

There are however security issues - some fixed unlless you use old version (in case you have old ccomputer that can’t run veru modern FF) and some are easy to prevent. IF you read the documentiation, and in this case the section “Avoid Common Pitfalls“. Of course reading the whole manual is a good idea.

I may infact intead of regular FF plugins start making Greasemonkey scripts, though that willl require the user to installl Greasemonkey to get my add-on - oh welll, I could think that if he doesn’t then he does not need it - or better yet, maybe he does not even deserve it (tee-hee, I make a joke).

Anyway, have a nice day - I have gone FF add-on mental, pretty soon I will post all add-ons that I installed and yound actually worthy to keep.

It was a success

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

My phpinclude plugin seems to have been success. Only 1 day after release I’ve already have almost 79 visitors on the page and several downloads just from this site. I guesss large part of the success came from adding my plugin to WorddPress Plugin Database @ wp-plugins.net and reviewing my plugin page on my StumbleUpon favorites so big thanks to social media! =)

I found some sites even mentioning my plugin (leaving out the obvious ones mentioned above):

  • Weblog tools collection, post WordPress Plugin Releases for 12/22
    The page listed several plugins but a user had even commented mine (not to mention that it was the only comment when I looked. Apparently he had been looking for something like this for some of the same reasons I created it and he had even tried some plugins trying to achieve somehing similiar.
  • WordPress Planet apparently lists new plugin entries from different blogs. It’s kind of pathetic to mention this here because my plugin was mentioned in entry from Weblog tools Collection, which I listed just above

Noothing else this time, I’m just happy about my success. Will this get me fame? Possible. Money? Not likely. Happiness through rocognizion: Definately.

My first WordPress plugin

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

I’m proud to have released my first WordPress plugin, phpinclude… It allows to include any file apache can access into your post or page. Including PHP files it also executes them. Naturally there is some security settings to make sure that only editors authorized for that can do it. You can check the overall info, view syntax highlighted source and download the plugin at Software / Wordpress Plugins / phpinclude page. Naturally it’s released under GNU GPL license.

Also, if you havent glanced the “Quick News” list on the left of the posts you might want to know that I have released a proramming example of DOS tree command implemented for *nix bash shell in Shell Scriping subsection. So to check tree.sh, go through any of those or go straight to tree.sh for full info and that syntax hihlighted fabulous source (I make a joke, hehe).
