Is anyone else having problems cacheing buttons while running BBB 2.1 under WordPress 2.7?  I think this is only an issue with fresh installs of the plugin.  I’m running the plugin, albeit an older version, under 2.7 and it’s working just fine.  Dayna and I have been playing email tag to resolve the issue and I’m currently stumped.  This morning I also noticed a post about it at the support forum.  I have some ideas for new features so I guess it’s time to write a new version.  Until then, please let me know if you have problems

Hannah pointed out a potential security issue in the latest version of MyQuilt Admin (3.0.2).  I’ve updated the download and posted a fix for your installation.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me

I hope to update MyQuilt Admin sometime soon, so feel free to add to the wishlist.  Tags, and possibly pages (like WordPress), will be included in the upcoming version.

A few of my readers emailed me requesting an image extension rather than a .php extension for my PHP Avatar Rotation since some forums require a valid image extension.  This can be accomplished if your server has mod_rewrite enabled.  I’ve also updated my previous example so that animated .gifs are no longer displayed as static images.

I just finished updating my plugboard plugin

In version 2.1, you can choose to receive an email notification when a new plug is added to the board.  I also added an option to edit an existing button through your WP admin panel.  This version was successfully tested in WP 2.5 and 2.6.  If you are using an earlier version of WordPress, older versions of this plugin can be found here.

You can find an updated version of this script here.

Have you ever noticed on forums that some users’ avatars will be different each time the page reloads? I recently decided that I wanted to display multiple avatars on Snark, so I sat down and wrote this little script. (This method only works for forums that allow off-site avatars.)

If you have tried using Bubs’ Button Board 1.0 and continually receive the error Your button is broken, then you need to install version 1.1. If you are currently running version 1.0, there’s no need to upgrade unless you want.

Version 1.1 uses cURL instead of relying on PHP‘s allow_url_fopen. Some hosts, such as DreamHost, disable allow_url_fopen.

I’ve decided to release my first WP plugin to the public It’s a customizable plugboard for your WordPress blog. You can see it in action here at BubblesSOC. BBB features button moderation and cache… I wouldn’t want an ugly broken image to mess up your nice layout Of course both of these features are optional.

Last night I was sifting through my Akismet spam and noticed that one of the spammers apologized to me for his following spam comment

I’m currently attempting to write my first WP plugin. I want to integrate my plugboard and Caption Challenge into WP pages, but these scripts need to be plugins before I can accomplish this.

Just when I thought I’d learned all I need to know about webdesign (not literally), I come across mod_rewrite – which is quite useful! I still have the hardest time comprehending regular expressions, so I’m just using it in its simplest form. Rather than typing profile.php?id=1 every time I want to access a member profile I can use profile/1 instead! Neil Crosby can explain it better than I, so I’ll leave the job to him. Btw – if you are using an .htaccess file to protect against direct linkers, you are using mod_rewrite!

Speaking of direct linkers, I made a new hotlink warning image:

(I stole the ingenious idea from Jem )

Look what I found! Poor Coco is going to have a whole wardrobe soon…
