Ideas for a new serendipity plugins!

[UberDumm]

Hello:

I was wondering if any plugin exists that will allow encryption of the Blog's contents?

I want to use s9y as a secure & convenient location for storage of my journal entries. MySQL supports AES Encryption and Decryption as of 4.0.2, and DES encryption as of 4.0.1.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/encry ... tions.html

Additionally, PHP apparently has several encryption routines, and has supported the mcrypt_encrypt() function since version 4.0.2.

I'm currently unemployed (hopefully not for long), and I'd be happy (and heck, it may even be beneficial to my career!) to put some time in to make this happen, as I seem to be the only requestor of this feature.

I would likely build in the option (as i'd use it, probably) of using PHP's encryption on the blog's entries directly, and additionally using MySQL's encryption to store the already-encrypted files encrypted again using AES


Anyway, what are your thoughts on this, devs? how difficult would it be?

Thanks.

Uberdumm, I will reply in a seperate topic (in "General discussion") about this. You've also posted to the mailinglist, so I will answer to that with a link.

Is there already a plugin to add a link to forum (of the user's choice) to use with serenity? If not can one be easily created?

[dma147]

use, the linklist-plugin to add links to your sidebar, or modify the templates by yourself.

I am not sure if iit is possible but if we can have multiple language blog = same format, same photos, but if you click translation button, then it appears in different language. Just like company's web-site.

Also, I found a better translation for one of your plugins in Japanese.
I use Japanese language and in the plugins of archives, the translation is wrong. There is word archieves as 書庫、but 記事録 sounds better. I believe 書庫 sounds like a book and not an archieves of articles.

In Japanese blogs, there is a ranking system plugin. Apparently, if someone hit a click button, then the blog will be ranked as popular blog and this will be shown in side as "the best blog of week". Is this something people like to do in Europe?

A good thing I found in comments is to put a button for adding emoticons with emoticons picture. By this way, people can choose emoticons easily.

Thank you for listening my opinions.

Kind regards

Hi KJ!

I am not sure if iit is possible but if we can have multiple language blog = same format, same photos, but if you click translation button, then it appears in different language. Just like company's web-site.

A plugin, serendipity_event_multilingual ("Multilingual entries") is available for this.

Also, I found a better translation for one of your plugins in Japanese.

Please contact Tadashi Jokagi (elf2000 {@} users.sourceforge.net) about issues of the japanese translation! Thank you.

This is provided by blog services -- serendipity is a personal blog, not a blog service, so it cannot offer a feature like you say. General providers are responsible for services like those.

A good thing I found in comments is to put a button for adding emoticons with emoticons picture. By this way, people can choose emoticons easily.

An serendipity_event_emoticonchooser plugin is available which does this.

Best regards,

I've used Coppermine for a while now and would like to do away with it and just use s9y gallery but do like a few of the features that Coppermine uses. I could do without most! How hard would it be to have albums, allow comments and have a plugin like the one for Gallery and Coppermine that shows recent photos in the sidebar?

Thanks for all the work on plugins, by the way!

Is there a way to add the IP address of the person that leaves a comment in the new forum plugin like s9y does when someone posts a comment? Just in the email notification like s9y does. No big deal but it helps me figure out who left the comment sometimes!

Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Im new to this forum, and havent used the blog since v0.6, so Im not into the news ..

A suggestion for a "plugin":
A small application for easy usage of "quick-posting" without having to go to the blog, logging in, selecting right things, yadda yadda ...
Could be done with a bit of SOAP/WSDL or just plain xml.

Would surely increase my blogcount if I were able to blog, without ever leaving the desktop (thinking of rss, just the other way around -> 'The world at your fingertips')

Just my €2 ..

[garvinhicking]

Jara: What would you think of the "Popfetcher" plugin that allows posting via E-Mail? Otherwise you can also use the "JustBlogIt" bookmarklet with Serendipity. Use this URL:

Code: Select all

http://yourblog/serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=entries&      serendipity[adminAction]=new&serendipity[title]=%TITLE%&serendipity[body]=%TEXT%&serendipity[url]=%URL%

Also you can use the XML-RPC posting plugin and your favorite XML-RPC blogging tool.

How hard would it be to have a good site stats plugin? I use another web app called e107 for a couple of other sites that I will probably switch back to s9y but do like a few features it has. One is the site stats plugin that shows a lot of interesting information. I would be glad to give someone a log in to my site running e107 to see whateve may be helpfull if someone would be interested in creating the plugin. I would if I had the smarts!!

[garvinhicking]

davecjr, did you check out the s9y statistics plugin, which is bundled with s9y? It already shows several statistics.

Including more information like webalyzer or tools like that show into an application, almost never makes sense, as they will not track all requests and might filter out data. Instead it is suggested to use logfile analyzers instead, to really get 100% of the access data.

What about a "Most-wanted-Article"-Plugin that shows in the sidebar the Xth most requested articles?

[garvinhicking]

Chrisbra, check out the serendipity_plugin_popularentries plugin. It interacts with the karma statistics plugin.

Hi everyone,

I would like to know, before asking for a new plugin:

Is there a plugin which lists recent added articles on a sidebar or even - which would be even better for me, which I can somehow include in the frontpage?

And second, I would use the calendar as an event-preview, which means I'd like the calendar to show me articles (or in this case events) which take place in the future. Is this possible with the my_calendar-plugin?

Thanks for help
Stefan
