In the other post, I come up with a trick to call PreItem event to allow other installed plugins to process any skinvar might be in the data. There is still one problem that internal skinvar like <%image%>, <%popup%>, and etc are not resolve.

Here's the trick to do that, in a one stone for 2 birds fashion. The trick used PHP output buffer control function redirect the output mean for the broswer and capture it into a variable for our use.

example: getting contents of a post:

...
... (get blogid)
...
$b =& $manager->getBlog($blogid);
...
...
$extraQuery = ' and inumber=' . intval($itemid);
$template = 'default';

ob_start();
$b->readLogAmount($tempalte, 1, $extraQuery, 0, 1, 0);
$outbuf = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

The contents of the post is in the $outbuf for your consumption.

I fixed the resolve problem.

NP_MailToAFriend v1.4

I fixed the missing CSS decoration problem reported

NP_MailToAFriend v1.3

Here's my note on how to add Ajax function to a Nucleus plugin. Ajax provides interaction to your web application (in our case, a blog) without reloading the whole web page. I think it is a very good mechanism to refresh just a small portions of your blog without clicking the reload button. NP_MiniForum is a good example.

There are 3 area of changes in order to add Ajax function to a Nucleus plugin:

1. Create function to insert XMLHttpRequest javascript
2. Setup doSkinvar() with function to insert javascript and <div> block
3. Add action to receive remote HTTP request

It looks like the wp guy is brewing some new mechanism to battle spam.

All of the solutions I saw so far used one of the methods:
- special interaction ie captcha, embedded keys in form
- detection algorithm ie filters, blacklist
- manual intervention ie human approval

The widely used one for Nucleus these days are NP_Blacklist, NP_CommentControl, NP_Captcha, and a few.

This new ASS idea is very different than the current crop of methods, mostly autonomy. Spam detection in ASS is done in a centralize server, which tell the blog whether the submit comment is spam or not.

Of course this raise a lot of concerns such as on how this method scale and response to things like privacy, which is yet to see.

Currently, there is a NP_SpamCheck being worked on, which provide an infrastructure to allow customize spam detection.

For those having problem cut and paste code...

Thanks to Trent and all for the code!

cheers,

I've been working on many plugins recently to add support to call other plugins to do pre-processing work. In many plugins that deal with items and comments, the output often not display properly with other plugin's skinvar display in raw code (ie <%Image(file.jpg|1024|768|320|240|test image)%> for NP_PopupImageNetPBM).

I think the best way to fix such a problem is to trigger PreItem (for item) and PreComment (for comment) events before proceeding with the output. The event calls all plugins registered to the event to process the data so all plugin skinvars are render properly.

For comment pre-processing, this can be done by:

$manager->notify('PreComment', array('comment' => &$comment));

For item pre-processing, calls:

$manager->notify('PreItem', array('blog' => &$blog, 
'item' => &$item));

Assumption is "global $manager, $blog;" is done earlier in the code.

Note that plugin developer should format and make sure $comment and $item are in the same format as the core pass it to notify().

This new release add emotions support via NP_Smiley support

I added some new feature to this plugin.

- better item rendering in email that works w/ other plugins (ie NP_Smiley, NP_PopupImageNetPBM)
- remove CSS from email and preview
- email and title template

NP_MailToAFriend v1.0

Please try it and report whether this new version break something or helps those who were struck in the past.

After much coding, I'm able to make the remote script works much better. Now, I don't even need the jpg file as a hook.

Install instruction:
- replace NP_MiniForum.php (remove the jpg file in miniforum/trigger.jpg if you update from 0.5.1)
- insert <%MiniForum(script,[forumname])%> after <body> in your skin ie <%MiniForum(script,default)%>

NP_MiniForum v0.5.2 (beta)

Here's a new version that support pinging when publishing a draft. This version requires Nucleus 3.22 and later.

NP_PingPong v0.5


note: Last pre-3.22 version can be found @ here

Ok, I think it works for IE now. But I have not check Opera. So, please report any issue.

NP_MiniForum 0.5.1 (beta)

Install instruction:
- replace NP_MiniForum.php
- put trigger.jpg in plugins/miniforum

I still do not like the implementation since it's not XHTML complaint and it use an image as init trigger, but this is the way I can make it work for both Firefox and IE.....

Inspired by WP's AJAX Shoutbox, I Ajaxized NP_MiniForum. Technically it's not Ajax, just remote javascript since XML is not used for data transfer.

Please try it out and report any issue. Suggestion is also welcome.

Ajaxized NP_MiniFroum v0.5

Note, this is not a complete package. Please installed v0.4.1 and replace NP_MiniForum.php in the above zip file.

I was puzzled by the slowless on my NUDN and do some investigation and found the problem is coming from NP_RSSAtomAggregator. The process time is ~0.4 sec if it is turn off..... vs >4 sec.

I should have written this little post a while back.

In Nucleus 3.2, a new plugin mechanism is added to allow a plugin to detect whether all plugin(s) it requires are present. There are some plugins that depends on another plugin to function. NP_MostViewed and NP_View is one.

For the same reason, Nuclues now failed the plugin uninstall operation if it is required by another plugin.

For developer, they can simply put in a function in their plugin to tell Nuclues that what plugin(s) the say plugin require:

GetDepPen    function getPluginDep() {
  return array('NP_BlogWithOffset');
}

One note is this new plugin dependancy check mechanism does not break the compatibility for older version of Nucleus, the declared getPluginDep() in the plugin will becomes domrant if a plugin is installed in a older Nucleus.

Note: v1.2 is out and can be found @ http://edmondhui.homeip.net/nudn/item/1004
