What is the recommended way to validate config values for a plugin? (I depend on an external service, so I want to validate those values). I'd like to do it when "Save" is clicked, I suppose I could build a "Validate" button into the plugin. Is there an event hook or some other w...

Yeah -- I'm thinking at some point in the future I will want to query the list one way or another. I'll shoot for the DB. Thanks!

BTW -- I'm planning to implement a couple of these, but what should be canonical?

If I had the need to keep a (potentially) large list (10k - 100k) of relatively short (300 characters-ish) strings what's the best way to do that in a plugin? Is there a "standard"/"best practices" way? Text file -- slow and disk intensive DB -- but where/how? BerkleyDB -- more c...

Garvin confirmed that this should be all there is to generating a thumb name reliably. Thanks to both of you.

I guess I should be more clear -- basename is the full name of the image assigned in the media upload without the extension passed in through eventData -- my plugin is working off of the backend_image_add event hook and I want to get the thumb name reliably. thx!

Will the thumbname always be $basename . "." . $serendipity['thumbSuffix'] . "." . $extension ie. If I have a foobar-someimagefile.jpg -- will the thumb always be foobar-someimagefile.$serendipity['thumbSuffix'].jpg or will there be truncation, etc? I'm trying to determine the th...

Is anyone using a cdn with s9y? I'd love to push my images to cloudfront transparently (upload to both locations -- s3 and locally), source them from cloudfront dynamically (on/off switch in the plugin).

bumping since rackspace clound just went opensource and is now the new hottness...

Greetings - I've been using s9y for a long time to host a fairly high traffic blog. I noticed that someone just released a plugin for wordpress called cdn-tools which allows one to host static content and js on a cdn (google or rackspace cloud files atm). Is anyone working on a similar plugin for s9...

I would say the answer to your problem is not necessarily memcache (although it would help), it is a proper caching architecture for s9y. I would much rather see serendipity implement cache headers and a plugin which can tune them instead of just setting pragma nocache all over the place.
