Give your Admin Area Some Colorful Love

Two months ago, I wrote an article about per-user admin color schemes that WordPress 2.5 brought in its bag of new features. A few days laters, I received an email from COLOURlovers' chief lover, Darius, letting me know about the API they were about to release (and did released since, of course) At this time, I had no spare time…

It’s Still Cooking… And It’s Hot!

I've been a Colour Lover since a few years, I love that site. A few weeks ago, they sent me an email telling that they were about to release an API to play with colors and palettes created by other color lovers, so what could I do? A WordPress plugin, obviously. Warning: this is going to be TAFW (Too Addictive…

Kaspars updated is fun plugin Baltic Amber (bringing some refreshing change in the WordPress backend with a set of new stylesheets) to make it fully compatible with my own Admin Drop Down Menu. He threw in some really nice subtle tweaks (see screenshot) that make the two plugins coexist very harmoniously. Good job Kaspars! :)

Javascript basename() and dirname()

For my next stuff I needed the Javascript equivalents of PHP functions basename() and dirname(). Nothing genius: < View plain text > javascript function basename(path) { return path.replace(/\\/g,'/').replace( /.*\//, " ); } function dirname(path) { return path.replace(/\\/g,'/').replace(/\/[^\/]*$/, ");; } It obviously supports paths like /home/ozh/stuff.php, http://site.com/file.ext or double backslashed Win32 paths such as C:\\dir\\document.txt.

FeedBurner and Netvibes: Doing It Wrong

Something seems to be broken between Feedburner and Netvibes. Yesterday, Planet WordPress was showing off a cool 1050 feed readers, and today the counter has dropped down to 267. After logging in Feedburner's control panel to check some stats, I found out that: Netvibes users are not counted any longer Netvibes user count used to be… odd. Stats from last…

ShareWP : Digg for WordPress

ShareWP is a digg-like site (using Pligg I think) dedicated solely to, obviously, WordPress. It seems fairly new (domain registered a few months ago, only a handful or registered users) and I think it has some potential: overall it's nicely done, and well focused on WordPress, a topic that other socialish sites such as Reddit or Digg seem to neglect.…
