Ooh, nice! A click counter for WordPress! It comes in two parts – a redirect script and a WordPress plugin. I wasn’t sure how well it’d work but it was simple to install – after modifying the sql to record and recognise each blog ID all I had to do […]

You can now use custom fields to execute functions in WPMU! Currently there’s only one function, that’s “photoblog” but more will come. When you’re writing a post, click the “advanced editing” button and scroll down. You’ll see text boxes where you can enter custom field keys and values. Now, edit […]

The popular posts plugin was broken, but it’s fixed now. Update your template so it looks like this if you want to use it: {popularposts} {if $pposts != ”} <br />Most Popular Posts<br /><br /> {foreach from=$pposts key=key item=details} <nobr><a href=”{$details.url}” title='{$details.title}’>{$details.title|truncate:30:”…”}</a>: {$key}</nobr><br /> {/foreach} {/if}

Mark found a bug in the backend but it’s been discovered already and discussed. I applied my own fix below.. Error: Warning: join(): Bad arguments. in …/wp-admin/edit.php on line 13 Fix: if( is_array( $editable ) == false )   $editable = array( “1” ); $editable = join(‘,’, $editable); On another note, […]

The site is now running on WordPress. I’m going to get some breakfast. Much Later – Still problems with feeds. I’m updating tonight to the CVS snapshot of WordPress from this morning so breakages are likely, but hang on in there! We’re almost home! Later Still – Merging of the […]
