Here’s what it looks like.

Pretty!

vbell off
autodetach on
defscrollback 10000
startup_message off
pow_detach_msg "Screen session of \$LOGNAME \$:cr:\$:nl:ended."
caption always "%{= gk}%-Lw%{= rW}%50> %n%f* %t %{-}%+Lw%< %= %{= Gk} %H %{= rW} %l %{= Gk} %0c:%s %d/%m %{-}"
shell -$SHELL

Looking like:

From the bottom left to right:

• Screen name ‘tabs’: %-Lw%{= rW}%50> %n%f* %t %{-}%+Lw%<
• Server name: %H
• Server load: %l
• Date & time: %0c:%s %d/%m

I put this togehter a few years ago, back in London, when working at multimap, but I cannot remember where I sourced it from. So, I’m putting it here for posterity.

What is your favourite .screenrc configuration?

  index = edButtons.length;
  edButtons[index] = new edButton('ed_cite', 'cite', '<cite>', '<\/cite>','c');
  jQuery('#ed_code').attr('value', 'cite');
  jQuery('#ed_code').attr('onclick', 'edInsertTag(edCanvas, ' + index + ');');
  jQuery('#ed_code').attr('id', 'ed_cite');

This code registers the button, then changes the properties of the ‘code’ button to transform it into a ‘cite’ button. Works in both WordPress 2.3 and 2.5.

function mf_pre_queue_js () {
    add_action('load-' . sanitize_title(__('Settings')) . '_page_more-fields', 'mf_queue_js');
}
add_action('admin_init', 'mf_pre_queue_js');

I got help with this on the wp-hackers mailng list - a great source for WordPress insights.

Correct.

Everything related to languages should be done at init or later, so that everything is loaded and any plugins that modify the content are loaded.

So, at the init/admin_init hook, we’re safe to assume that the appropriate language has been loaded.

New features:

• Compatible with the new admin introduced in WordPress 2.5
• Set default value in a select list.
• Enable right hand column boxes in WP 2.5.
• Option of removing the ‘Related’ links on the right hand side on the Write/Edit page.
• A new set of actions, enabling users to change the behavior of More Fields. The documentation has been updated to include an example on how to use these actions.

The plugin can be downloaded from wordpress.org.

Any feedback is always greatly appreciated.

Formats:

• album
• single
• ep
• song
• box
• playlist

Media:

• cd
• 7”
• 10”
• 12”
• mp3
• aac
• wma
• myspace

In addition to this, we specify how mauy of the specified media constitutes the release, so that an album can be specified as, e.g. album (2×cd), song (mp3), box (10×12″), etc…

Did we miss anything?

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Template for posts
Plugin URI: http://labs.dagensskiva.com
Description: Set the template file for a post by setting the Custom Field 'dsc_template' to the filename of the template
Version: 0.1
Author: Henrik
*/
?>

function dsc_post_template() {
  global $post, $wp_query;

  if (count($wp_query->posts) == 1) {
    $id = $wp_query->posts[0]->ID;
    if ($temp = get_post_meta($id, 'dsc_template', true)) {
      include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/' .$temp );
      exit(0);
    }
  }
}
add_filter('template_redirect', 'dsc_post_template', 9);

Usage: a Custom Field called ‘dsc_template’ is set to equal the basename of the file, e.g. ‘interview.php’, placed inside your theme folder. Simple as that. It only applies the template file if $wp_query contains only one post, i.e. where the template file ’single.php’ would normally be applied.

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/Modules/PostTo/Pages/?t=<?php the_title(); ?> | dagensskiva.com&u=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&c=dagensskiva.com&l=3" onclick="GetThis('<?php the_title(); ?< | dagensskiva.com', '<?php echo wptexturize(dsc_generate_excerpt(get_the_content(), 20, 20)); ?>', '<?php the_permalink(); ?>', 1); return false;" class="myspace">Myspace</a>

A few basic notes on MSSQL versus MySQL:

• The MySQL LIMIT 10 clause becomes ‘SELECT TOP 10‘
• ‘SHOW TABLES‘ becomes ‘“SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = ‘BASE TABLE’”;‘
• Selecting a random row in MSSQL can be done by ‘ORDER BY NEWID()‘

To do the import into WordPress I’m populating the $_POST variable, as if the post was created in the Admin:

<?
$_POST = array();
$_POST['post_title'] = $ret['header'];
$_POST['post_type'] = 'post';
$_POST['content'] = $ret['text'];
$id = wp_write_post();
add_post_meta($id, 'dbc_author', $ret['fname'] . ' ' . $ret['lname']);
...
?>

where $ret is the variable returned from mssql_fetch_assoc(). Similarly, the comments to a post are added using wp_insert_comment($commentdata); - populating the $commentdata array first.

One hack down, a handfull to go!

UPDATE: It got bumped to 2.5!
