Utah Open Source Planet

I just updated all my blogs to Wordpress 2.7. I like the new admin interface. The upgrade was pleasantly easy and quick.

Ever wanted to have a blog ordered by the number of visits, comments, and such?  It would seem to me that this might be useful.  So I wrote a plugin to accommodate just that.

To be honest, I really shouldn’t take that much credit for it, since Alex King wrote most of the functionality for determining popularity as his plugin is required for mine to work.  All I really did, was stand upon his giantness and make it so people could sort their blogs by popularity.

Feel free to Download It

• A New Job and WordPress Plugins

Over the past little while, I’ve lost my job, hunted for (and found) a new job, consulted to fill in the gaps and a bunch of Fedora projects over Christmas.  What did this entail?  Well, sit back and relax and I’ll tell you!

New Job

Well my new job is setting up nicely as a Web Developer/System Administrator at StoryRock.com.  We do yearbook and scrapbooking software.  I’m in charge of the website and infrastructure here, and so far there are a lot of good problems to solve.  I’ve been introduced to Ruby on Rails and am getting the hang of it as well.  I’ve implemented a new Firewall and OpenVPN tunnel, configured a new staging server and dealt with a disk space issue on our  web server, all in about a week and a half.  I still have plans to finish implementing an openfire jabber server (mostly complete thanks to help from another great Guru, Aaron Toponce).

Consulting

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working with a fellow by the name of Trevyn Meyer.  He owns a little consulting firm in Orem called ESource, They have been giving me steady web work for the past few weeks.  I’ve been able to do things from wordpress themes and plugins to  migrating bugzilla.  It has brought in a little cash I needed just to get me through.  This has been a great experience.  Because of ESource, I was able to publish a fairly useful plugin because of its benefits to the community.  I plan to get it on wordpress’ codex at some point in the future.

Fedora

Over the Christmas break, and mostly because I am not overwhelmed at work (yet).  I was able to spend some time creating a few tools to benefit the project.  First was the Fedora Ambassador North America (FAmNA) Resource Requests Tracker.  With the help of Jon Stanley, we now have a way of tracking requests from North American Fedora Contributors for things like T-Shirts, Media, AmbassadorKits, Stickers, etc.  I anticipate this being a very busy site and that we’ll be getting more requests as the word gets out after the holidays and FUDCon.

I took the time this weekend to build a prototype of the Fedora Media Box.  It’ll be part of what is to become the AmbassadorKit.  We’re having a hackfest to design and finish the AmbassadorKit so we can start shipping it out.  Look for this as a new option on the FAMNA Requests trac instance.

Speaking of FUDCon, along with Chris Tyler and probably a few other people, we are planning to stream and record audio and video for much of FUDCon F11 Boston.   I was able to purchase a wireless lavalier (aka lapel) microphone this week and it should arrive in time for me to bring it along for presenters.  I am seriously excited to get the audio and video out to more people than ever.  If you have a camera, or recording devices, please bring them.  If you don’t have equipment, but want to help, let us know.

Cheers,

Clint

Joseph Scott, developer at Automattic, posted that Wordpress.com has recently broken 4 million total blogs. He further mentions that it took just 4 months to go from 3 million to 4 million. Assuming the rate isn’t exponential, it will just be end of December when they hit 5 million blogs. What would be even more fascinating is to know how many self-hosted blogs on Wordpress are currently running. (This blog is a Wordpress MU install)

Wordpress seems to be no Facebook, but perhaps as projects like BuddyPress take off and people begin to virally create blogs and content with their friends it will get to that level. Where Wordpress still has left to compete is with microblogging sites like Twitter - perhaps, with the large user base that they currently have we could see this happen in the near future.

There are rumors that Facebook has been working on their own Wordpress plugin for Facebook. This is troubling for those of us developers that are developing for Facebook Connect, as it shows that Facebook could in one sweep, wipe any developer writing for the Facebook Connect platform out without any advanced notice. It only appeared that in the past, this type of thing only happened on the Facebook website itself, as Facebook has a right to, but I’ve seen it myself with my own development on Facebook Connect today.

Fair enough. I like competition, although I’d love this to be a community effort. So, since we know Facebook is working on their own Wordpress plugin for Facebook, and we know Facebook isn’t willing to divulge their code yet. Since I’ve already devoted 20 or so of my own hours to the exact same project with no knowledge from Facebook, and am just now learning that Facebook was working on this behind the scenes incognito with no involvement from the community, I’d like to release my own plugin to the public, under the GPL v2.0 today, in the hopes the public can help with development and further building of this plugin, as a community, not just under Facebook’s roof.

It’s very troubling to see Facebook develop on external apps outside of Facebook like this - it only shows that Facebook is not afraid to encroach on other developers’ projects and that any one of us is at risk of having a useful project, our time and effort (I had no intentions on making money from this), wiped out in an instant. Sure, Facebook has every right to compete, but the least courtesy of notifying developers it already knows would be competition. With such a Wordpress plugin this also encroaches on Six Apart’s announced integration with Facebook Connect, and puts Facebook in direct competition with Six Apart instead of making it Automattic’s problem.

It’s my sincere hope that Facebook decides not to continue such projects internally, but instead contributes to existing projects if they must do so. Facebook should in no way be competing with the developers that use their platform without warning, or risk us not being willing to contribute such things in the future. Let’s work together on this Facebook - how about a “we need help” board, or an “internal projects” board so we can know what you’re working on in advance. In this way we can work with you instead of parallel to you and hours spent doing so won’t be wasted. Or how about a little nudge to people like Six Apart saying, “we may just have to compete with you on this in the future” so their own time isn’t wasted with the integration.

Why should I keep building external web apps that integrate and send users to Facebook if Facebook is just going to replace my web apps in the end anyway?

So, I’m going to release my code here right now in hopes we can make this a community project - it requires you to set up your own app for your blog under the Facebook Developers site (just set your callback URL to your own website’s URL), and you must take your application key and enter it into the admin section. Only developers of the Facebook app itself can login through Facebook Connect until Facebook launches (one more advantage Facebook has over us developers - they know when they are launching, and therefore know how much time they have to develop these things, another reason to leave it to us developers in order to keep it fair). To install on your blog after doing so, just unzip the folder in your plugins folder, and activate your plugin under the plugins section in Wordpress. After that, any Facebook user will be able to leave comments, under their own authentication, Facebook avatar, and name without having to re-enter it each time. We’ll be integrating this more in the future - if you can help please let me know! My project is a community project, not owned by Facebook, completely owned by me and you for the benefit of the community.

You can download it here.

You can see it in action on my test site, http://socialmediacast.staynalive.com - check out the Hello World post to see the existing comments. Note you will not be able to log in to Facebook Connect on that site because you are not a developer on the app for that site.

Now, I know I ranted a bit - it’s late, but I hope this makes some sort of sense. Am I out of line here? Should I just scrap my code completely and let Facebook do this? Is it a wise move for Facebook to keep making external apps like this that integrate with Facebook? What’s the best way for Facebook to approach this? I welcome your comments below.

We just finished upgrading our home server. The migration, while it took time, was rather easy. I combined our separate blogs all under a Wordpress MU install to simplfy maintenance. One thing that I am happy about with the upgrade, besides improved performance, is that the iPhone wordpress app now works. I had errors connecting before. One thing that helped in configuring the app is improved error handling in the latest version. The initial release would always just die when trying to connect with no errors. I tried sniffing the connection, but unsuccesfully.

As I contiunue to use the app, I’ll update you on to what I like and don’t like. For now I’m happy!

I'm tired of comment spam. I guess my blog has grown to a popular enough size that I'm known by just enough bots to make things annoying. The next plugin I'll be trying out is WP-SpamFree. If you can't post a comment, use my contact form to let me know there is an issue. WP-SpamFree [...]

The comment spam filtering software used on this blog is Spam Karma. Three weeks ago, Dave, the author of the Wordpress plugin, announced that Spam Karma has now gone GPL v2. I have been using this plugin exclusively for my comment spam since this blog has been up and running.

Prior to the plugin going GPL, Dave held the license as proprietary, keeping anyone from repackaging his hard work and making money off of it. However, he also stated on the site that if you asked, he would probably give you full permission to modify the code, and make amendments as necessary. Due to this disclaimer, I installed in on my blog. However, the reason for Dave making Spam Karma GPL has nothing to do with Free Software, but more to the fact that he is no longer supporting the utility, and hopes by making it GPL, the community will pick it up, and run with it. I hope so too, because while I’m a major proponent of Free Software, I won’t run outdated, unsupported software either.

So, if you know PHP, and have a desire to help with a project, pick up Spam Karma. I know I would benefit from your efforts.

Sometimes you get used to doing things one way and you forget to take a step back now and then and see if there isn't something you're missing. In my case, I was formatting source code on this blog by putting html non-breaking spaces and < codes for angle brackets etc. Ouch. [...]

I’ve been contemplating for awhile now a good way to share what I know about Social Software Development and helping business owners, marketers, and developers learn how to set up their own social apps. Especially for developers, I know there are many out there looking for howtos and ways to learn more about starting their own App, promoting it, and getting it off the ground. As the author of FBML Essentials, I feel I am well suited for the task so in the next few days I’m going to start doing howtos and overviews on how you can get your own Apps together. If you’re “the business type”, I may get a little technical on you, but I do recommend you keep watching and forward these onto your IT personell - your CIO, CTO, and the like should read these so they can learn what’s possible to integrate into your existing environments. I’ll also try to throw in a little goodie here and there for “the business type”.

So, I’ve created a new category to the right, “Social Coding” - if you want to track just that, click on the category name and add it to your RSS. I’ve also started a new FriendFeed Room where those involved or that want to get involved in Social Coding can discuss, learn, and talk with each other. You can subscribe to that here.

Let’s start by going over the types of sites I could cover. Here are just a few - let me know if you have a particular interest in learning about how to code for any one in particular:

• Facebook
• OpenSocial
• Google Friend Connect
• Twitter
• FriendFeed
• Pligg
• Digg
• LinkedIn
• MySpace
• Wordpress
• MoveableType
• Google App Engine
• Bungee Connect

Stay tuned! I’ll keep posting news and other rants as we go forward - I’ll just be adding in some good howtos at the same time. Oh, and if you’re a developer and would like to do a howto in your preferred language for us, contact me - I’d love to let you do a guest post.

Matt Mullenweg, a fellow Houstonian and all around cool guy spoke to us today at Web 2.0 Expo about Wordpress’s present and future. Some features from the talk:

Wordpress has 2 main products, Akismet, and Wordpress.com. Akismet is solving many of the Spam problems Matt Cutts from Google talked about earlier, and Wordpress.com handles much of the “Software as a Service” suggestion Matt Cutts gave.

Wordpress.com has had a tremendous Growth. At their start, they had just 2 million uniques. This year, Wordpress.com is at 168 million unique visitors, all with only 20 employees.

Some featured Wordpress.com blogs that Matt Mullenweg likes:

• NY Times
• Flickr Blog
• Fail blog
• I can haz cheeseburger

99.999% of Wordpress.com blogs get less than 10k pages/day. They are all on a different model.

Matt had some great announcements. He mentioned that 40-45% of their traffic is going to permalink pages. Therefore they are introducing a new feature they call “(Possibly) Related Posts”. With this, Wordpress.com lists relevent links below each blog post, the first being links from your blog. Secondly, posts from the 300 million blogs hosted on Wordpress.com are displayed, then mainstream news sites are displayed - these are all opt-out. Matt mentioned they partnered and worked with the company Sphere to do this.

The coolest announcement of Matt’s was the announcement of a new theme called Monotone. Monotone automatically adapts its color scheme to the photos uploaded to to Wordpress. The idea is to adapt changes to the look and feel of your website based on what you’re doing, and every page changes as you move through the site - it was actually quite beautiful, and knowing that Matt is a very good Photographer I expect to see some cool things from that theme. I’m told Monotone will be released some time soon.

I mentioned this at the Hackathon in March, but have not had the time to blog about it yet. Thus far all announcements for the Utah Social Media Developers Garage Meetings and Utah Facebook Developers Garage Meetings have been announced either through this blog, or our Facebook Group. I’ve now created a Google Group for us at http://groups.google.com/group/utsmdev. Please sign up there and I’ll issue all announcements via that list. Google Groups provides a more neutral ground in the sense that users don’t have to have an account to use it (to an extent), as compared to the Facebook groups. We’ll keep the Facebook groups around, and depending on membership I’ll still send announcements there as well, but I encourage all to sign up on the Google Group if possible. In addition, having a mailing list will allow us to have more of a discussion. This way if you are working on a project in Facebook, or OpenSocial, or even Wordpress or Twitter or other APIs and you run into issues, you can ask the group and we can work together to solve the problem. I figure this way we’ll be able to all build a strong Social Media Development community here in Utah that others can rely on. Google groups will also give us a page we can tell others about the group, when the next meeting is, etc. If you have some graphics and HTML skills to help with that I am open to volunteers!

Also, I have created a Google Code repository at http://code.google.com/p/utsmdev/. For anyone okay with producing their code under the GPL, this will give you a place to store your code, and collaborate with others on the code, track issues, etc. If you want commit permissions to that repository please contact me and I’ll add you. As Google App Engine gets more integration into these things we’ll also set up a hosting option through Google App Engine to actually host your apps. Hopefully all these options will make it all much easier for everyone to get out and collaborate in their coding. It’s a good time to be a developer…

P.S. - We will continue on in our every-other-month meeting structure now, so our next meeting will be the second Tuesday in May. I’m working on a speaker, so if you know anyone or have ideas let me know!

After some testing on some of my less-popular blogs I’ve upgraded this one to Wordpress 2.5.  The whole ordeal seemed fairly painless (although with the number of blogs I host I really should consider WPMU).

I use svn to manage my installations which makes it really simple.  If you’re considering an upgrade, these are the steps I followed:

1. Make a backup of your current data–can’t be too safe.  Export your current database & php.
2. De-activate current plugins
3. change to the root directory of your blog and execute:
4. svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.5/
5. I had an issue with Akismet, so I also then did:
6. rm -r wp-content/plugins/akismet/
7. svn up
8. visit http://your-site.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php
9. re-activate plugins
10. Done

I want to congratulate the Wordpress team for a great release.  Thinks look really sharp this time around and there look to be a lot of UI improvements.  I’m also glad to see I didn’t have any issues upgrading like I did after the early 2.2.x series.

I’m lazy, so I just have this basic script I run that upgrades my wordpress:

#!/bin/bash
blog_directory=
update_url=

wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
tar -zcvf blog-backup-$(date +’%F’).tar.gz $blog_directory
cp -rv wordpress/* $blog_directory
links $update_url
rm latest.tar.gz

How do you upgrade your wordpress?

I sat down for lunch at Applebees with Joseph Scott, a Developer at Automattic, who was the developer on the Prologue project. As I mentioned earlier, Prologue is essentially, as I term it, “OpenSocial for Twitter“, and allows you to create your own Twitter-like community on any Wordpress blog with the addition of just a simple Wordpress theme. In the demo, he shows how it works, and then we discuss potential uses for the theme, and ways one can use Prologue in their own Blogging environment. It was an enjoyable and interesting conversation!

After a few updates on the plugin that I’m using and a bit more testing I have re-activated the OpenID plugin for Wordpress.  If you’re an OpenID user please let me know if you run into any issues.  I have tested with my identity and it seems to be working well enough..

If you haven’t yet started using OpenID you may want to take a look at:

Just today, Matt Mullenweg, founding developer and owner of Automattic, announced a new, open source, theme for Wordpress called Prologue. The theme essentially turns your blog into a “mini-Twitter”, with a “Whatcha up to?” text box at the top where your users can post what they are currently doing. This is an excellent way to build community on a site, just for your own users - it will be interesting, as cell phone networks open up, to see if there will be ways to integrate “mini-communities” such as this onto users’ cell phones. I also anticipate someone writing some sort of Twitter plugin that integrates with this theme, and I’d love to figure out a way to use this theme in conjunction with my current theme so I can add this as a link to my current blog.

The theme has been released as Open Source, completely free, under the GPL. The release of this reminds me very much of Google’s OpenSocial initiative, of which they are releasing platform code, very similar to the way Facebook’s platform works (Facebook is a very closed platform currently), for anyone and everyone to load onto their own blogs as they wish. Basically, you can “create your own Twitter” with this code they are releasing!

Joseph Scott, a very good friend of mine, was one of the writers of this and he’s going to give me a demo this Thursday - I’ll post a video of it when I’m done (unless someone wants to buy me an N95, which I’ll post live via Qik.com!). Matt Mullenweg will also be in town this Saturday and meeting with local bloggers and social media advocates - if I can make it work, I may try some video of that as well.

My friend Mike Smullin (who BTW is an excellent developer of custom Wordpress plugins) sent me this:

Hi Jordy,

Not sure how much you like WordPress or Matt Mullenweg, but I figured I’d let you know about this upcoming event in Utah:

http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/416950/?ps=5

Enjoy! :)

This sounds like it’s going to be a fun event.  I hope to see you there.

I’ve recently been looking for better ways to connect my blog into the social sphere.  I feel the easier my readers can connect with me, talk with me, ask questions, etc., the more personal my blog becomes.  You’ll notice I’ve added some pretty little icons to the right that show the networks I belong to and, if you’re on them, you can meet me there.  I will be adding more as I create new icons.

Today I came across a nifty new Wordpress plugin from the guys at blah, blah! technology called Socialize Me!.  Socialize Me! collects your user names and profile urls from about 20 to 30 different social networks, and then detects if the users visiting your Wordpress blog belong to those social networks.  If so, with some code you insert into your Wordpress template, a message appears to those users notifying them that you also belong to their social network, inviting them to come visit you.

I have thus far been unsuccessful in testing this - I can’t tell if it’s because I already belong to the social networks, or if I’ve entered in the wrong information.  If you visit the Stay N’ Alive blog and see a message inviting you to visit me on any of my social networks, please let me know in the comments below.  You can try the plugin yourself at:

I’m undergoing some site changes with this blog. Looking for a nice wide 2-column layout for Wordpress. I’ve stumbled on Minimalist Fever 1.21. It’s clean, simple and lean. It has a fluid width, which is a must for me, looks good in all browsers, and as such, works well with all resolutions. The text is a tad small from what I’m used to, and I may make it a pixel or two bigger, but overall, I’m impressed. The lack of a simple header, however, may keep me from using this theme permanently. If anyone knows of a good wide fluid-width 2-column theme that is simple and elegant, I’m all ears.

Ok, as many of you may have heard, Movable Type just recently announced an open source edition. After playing around with it for a few hours, I was already sold. The templating system is just awesome, and while being forced to rebuild the blog to publish is a pain, the performance tradeoff is incredible.

Anyways, after getting about half of my stuff migrated successfully, I made the switch just a little bit ago. If there are issues on the planets or readers (or broken links) please let me know, I'll try to fix it ASAP.

I recently decided to reinstall my Wordpress blog with the SVN copy of the software. Because Wordpress does not support upgrading through the default install- a major hindrance, I’ve decided to keep my copy updated through SVN. This means that you need a working copy of SVN on your server. If running Ubuntu/Debian, the following command will get it installed (assuming your account is added to the /etc/sudoers file:

aaron@kratos:~$ sudo aptitude install subversion

Once installed, all you need is to get the latest copy to your server in the directory that you plan on serving it from. For example, if you plan on serving it from /var/www (also, assuming your unprivileged account has write access to /var/www):

aaron@kratos:~$ cd /var/www
aaron@kratos:/var/www$ svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/

Now you have the latest copy of Wordpress running on your server. Configure your web server daemon as needed to serve PHP files from that directory. When ever you need to upgrade, just issue an ’svn update’ on that base directory:

aaron@kratos:/var/www/trunk$ svn update

There you have it, the latest and greatest running copy of Wordpress. Of course, it should be warned that this is the unofficial release of the software, and bugs may exist causing problems with plugins and serving the software. However, if you are willing to take the punches, then I would recommend running the SVN copy to keep your Wordpress insall up-to-date. Until the Wordpress devs decide it’s important enough to add an upgrade utility in the software directly, this is definitely the best approach I think.

A successful (so far) Wordpress upgrade. Version 2.3 seems cool enough, If you spot a problem, please let me know!

Edit: It appears that I may have spoken too soon… Some fickle behavior from plugins that used to like categories,  but I guess that was to be expected. =/

During my experiments with WP-Super-cache, I noticed a strange thing happen to my Adsense ads. A short while after getting gzip compression to work properly, all my ad content had foreign characters and strange seemingly unrelated content. Having changed nothing on my blog except for installing WP-super-cache, I decided to add an additional check to [...]

I was pretty excited to see an update to WP-Cache. The first thing I noticed is that when I enabled the new super cache compression option, I started getting a file save as dialog instead of my pages. As of the current version of WP-Super-Cache, the readme.txt file states that if you get [...]

I’ve upgraded my old WP-Cache plugin to this one that I found on Digg.com today. From the Digg.com Post: Tired of clicking a link off the Digg front page only to find a crashed or mortally lagged site on the other side? Finally, Donncha (one of the main WordPress developers) has solved the problem once and [...]

Ok, some of you might notice a small hiccup in the blog-time continuum.  This is because I reverted to a backup earlier in the day after rebuilding the database from a fresh installation.  What a pain, let me tell you.  If you notice anything weird about the blog please let me know.  From my testing I wasn’t able to find anything.  This *should* be a good, working, fresh copy of the blog now.. I hope.

How Did I Fix It?

1. I installed a new blog from scratch at a separate location using the latest version of Wordpress. (zelut.org/blog)
2. I used the Manage > Export feature within the original Wordpress to export the posts, comments and categories.
3. I used the Import > Wordpress feature within the new blog to pull in the posts, comments and categories.
4. I verified functionality, manually updated the blog name and URL, etc (mainly a few things on the options menu)
5. Exported the new database via phpmyadmin and saved it to disk.
6. Opened the .sql file with vim and did a find/replace to update the new blog url for the original (ie; :%s/zelut.org/ubuntu-tutorials.com/g)
7. Verified the ’siteurl’ value and ‘home’ value both matched the original site URL address.
8. Threw out the original blog via phpmyadmin by selecting the database, ‘check all’ on the tables and selecting ‘drop’.
9. Imported the newly exported and updated database to overwrite what was just dropped.
10. Log back into the original site and the blog should be functional.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RECENT BACKUPS IF YOU ARE GOING TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS.  STEP 7 WILL WIPE OUT ALL DATA FROM YOUR CURRENT BLOG. PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LOST DATA.  THIS IS MERELY THE STEPS THAT I TOOK AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION ELSEWHERE.  ALWAYS KEEP REGULAR BACKUPS OF YOUR BLOG!

Yes, that’s right folks. I’m looking for a new image to adorn the top of my blog. I’ve got this pretty new theme (not shown on my site yet) but it needs a fresh new coat of penguin love.

So I thought I’d share with the community and see if anyone could come up with a new image for my blog. The general idea is it has to go with my blog title “Sexy Sexy Penguins”. I’m imagining a few “very attractive” penguins or something related in that way. To help generate some interest in helping me with my sexy penguins search, I might offer a bit of a reward, say $50 to the winner.

To help you in your search, I’m planning on using this theme. There could be slight adjustments, but the image should be in several desirable formats, including banner, screensaver, and a any others that might seem useful. The main reason I am doing this is to motivate myself into blogging more, both for your benefit, but also for mine.

Fedora-Tutorials needs a face lift, help the Sexy Sexy Penguin(s) come to life! Thank you all for enjoying my posts, I plan on providing much more in the near future.

Cheers,

Herlo
