New version of Gravatar Recent Comment

By Anthony 8 October 2008

11 Comments

As you will notice, I will make some updates on most of my Wordpress plugins in the coming days.

So here is the brand new version of ZdCommentsWidget. This version only includes a minor change but makes it more efficient as a Recent comment widget.

In fact I just added the possibility to have a link to the comment instead of just having a link to the author’s website. I also removed the limit on users displayed (until now only not registered users could be displayed).

You can get the latest version here : zdcommentswidget_101

ZdMultilang 1.1.1 is out

By Anthony 7 October 2008

6 Comments

I’ve been working a lot on ZdStatistics V2 until now, Today i’ve managed to find out how to include the media bar inside the translation editor and also how to fix the editor problem.

You will now be able to add pictures directly from the editor without having to find the correct URL.

Regarding the problem with the editor load, is due to the cforms II plugin – see this support issue.

If you need the cforms II plugin and Zdmultilang at the same time, I would advise you to deactivate the WP Editor Button support in your general settings (in the cformsII panel) as shown below :

ZdStatistics Version 2 will be out next week

By Anthony 7 October 2008

I’ve been off for quite a long time on Zen-Dreams and this is mainly due to the fact that I’ve been rebuilding ZdStatistics.

ZdStatistics will be available next week in version 2.0. Why next week ? Simply because I need to test it before release, so it’s been installed on this blog and depending on the results I will get until next week I will improve it as much as I can.

Here is a list of the new features and modifications :

  • Changed the flash chart to Google vizualisation so that it loads faster and can be compliant with any browser with javascript support.
  • Export data to CSV files so that you can process them like you want
  • Check Redirections of pages – do not log them. In fact sometimes a page was counted twice because the user specified an url without the pending / and wordpress did the redirection.
  • Display tabs in the admin section optionally
  • Search feature !
  • Better Spam detection using an anti spam provider (default is spamhaus.org)
  • Now recording hits with timezone as specified in your wordpress configuration.
  • Geolocalisation is now using Google Maps to display visitors (needs a Google maps API key)
  • Using a calendar to choose the time period you wish to see
  • Debug option for a better support

High Availability

First, before to talk about the definition of High Availability, I’d like to introduce the notion of availability. A system is considered unavailable when it becomes unusable or even usable but with too limited functions.
There are many reasons for this and some of these are commonly called Single Point of Failure (SPOF), others are most [...]

Change your default folders in gnome

0 Comments

Last night, I’ve been stuck with my Ubuntu distribution as I wanted to add templates for creating new documents. The main problem is that I don’t like to have too much folders in my home directory and I couldn’t find the Templates folder. Recreating didn’t solve the problem.
Because yes, that’s where the file templates should [...]

DNA-Framework – Database Abstraction Layer

0 Comments

When I decided to re-write the DNA-Framework, I didn’t know where to start first. I was thinking about creating all the security structure first, but I then realised that mostly the security infrastructure will use the dabatase to store information.
So I first needed to create the DAL.
The DAL must stay : easy to use, coherent [...]
