My solution won't apply to too many people but just incase: I split my DisplayHeader function into two functions. One to process and display everything in my remote header file up to my {css} placeholder and one to display everything after my {css} placeholder. This lets me insert {serendipity_hookP...

Don: Yes, your plugin basically does what I need. I'll just need to do some minor modifications to get the data it generates in a format I can use.

Thanks for the help Garvin and Don.

No, somehow I missed that one. But, it doesn't work. The is due to the way I build the header, and not the fault of the plugin. I have a header template file from our main website which has placeholders in it for things like the title, some banners and additional CSS. I have a function in index.tpl ...

I have noticed that facebook is having issues with finding relevant text when sharing a blog post manually or via AddThis. The easiest solution seems to be to add a <meta description=... tag in the head of the page. Seems easier said than done though. I'm using $head_title to set the <meta title=.. ...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm referring to sidebar plugins. I hacked serendipity_plugin_templatedropdown.php template chooser plugin to check if the user is admin so that I can try out different templates: function generate_content(&$title) { global $serendipity; ##################### #only show th...

While building new plugins I'd like to be able to only make them available to specific users for testing. This would allow me to mess around with code on the live blog but not have everyone see it until it's ready. If this is documented somewhere please point me to it. Otherwise, how might I do this...

Also, I've noticed that a non logged in user can "Like" an entry every time they visit it. Is there not something in place to stop this?

Thanks Garvin. I have made a copy of the karma plugin and hacked it to simply display a "Like" button. There are a couple of issues: I'd like to put the button in a different spot on the page. Specifically at the top of the entry near the Title and author, etc. How would I do this? I don't...

I'd like to have a plugin that allows people viewing a blog post to "Like" it. This doesn't have anything to do with facebook. It would be internal to the blog. I've looked at the Karma plugin, but it does way more than I need. What I want is the person viewing the post clicks "Like&q...

Thanks Garvin! That did the trick. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $serendipity['serendipityHTTPPath'] . "authors/" . $authorInfo[0]['authorid'] . "-" . $authorInfo[0]['username']; Now to figure out how to gracefully fail when some one uses ...

I'm back after a break and working on my Vanity URL plugin. I have the plugin working so that http://www.example.com/blog/clintg displays the users posts. The issue I have now is that the next and previous page URLs are broken. I end up with a URL like http://www.example.com/blog/clintg/P2.html How ...

There is a plugin called "Start Page Category" that lets you set the "Initial Hide Category" so that posts in a category aren't show on the front page.

You'd need a way of getting $_GET['fieldname'] into your contact form. You'll have to do some php coding.

I am a relative n00b when it comes to serendipity and smarty templates but have been programming php for many years. Here's what I'd suggest you look at. In your template file entries.tpl you can use the smarty variables to access various parts of the blog post. I'd think you could add something lik...

I've also noticed that serendipity_FetchAuthor() is case sensitive. I'd like UserName, username, and uSeRnAmE all to match when serendipity_fetchAuthor("username") is called.

Is it possible? Suggestions?

Thanks
