DiggClick extended

Posted in Digg Click by admin on the February 26th, 2007

Since this year I had the DiggClick plugin runing on my blog, but i was not really satisfied with the look of those big digg buttons. So I looked around and found another digg look on the digg-tools website and decided to incorporate that look into the DiggClick plugin.

So, now DiggClick has new features:

  • Choose between normal and compact look
  • Choose to set a background color
  • Choose between more location options (above left,above right,under left, under right)

    • Install:

  • Just download the plugin ZIP file here.
  • Unzip
  • Upload diggclick directory into your plugins directory located usually at /wp-content/plugins
  • Go to your Wordpress Administration and go to Plugins.
  • Activate the Plugin
  • Go to options and set the options you like

    • Note:
    I tricked around alot with the plugin and my safari and firefox cached the content often.
    So if you don’t see any changes after changing the settings close the browser window, clear cache and javascript cache and try again.

    Copyright/License:
    The original plugin was written by Michael Moreno from opensolaris.biz, but unfortunatly he/his website is unreachable at the moment. So I don’t know what he thinks about the changes and all the credit for this nice plugin shell go to him. I’m just an editor making some minor changes. So, if you know him, please tell him that I updated his plugin and maybe he shell have a look at the source. I will also intend to remove the post and files if required by the original author.

    But until then, please use and have fun…

    Xtirer – my first opensource project

    Posted in Xtirer by admin on the February 19th, 2007

    With several years of programming and development experience i finally decided to start my first opensource project called Xtirer. Deriving from a client project, Xtirer is dedicated to all those of you who need a fast and easy way to receive data from a MYSQL database in some kind of XML format.

    Xtirer is available now as a pre-alpha alpha release at sourceforge. Just visit https://sourceforge.net/projects/xtirer and download the php scripts and the documentation. The whole thing is quite straight forward and not complicated to implement and i would be glad if you’d drop a comment either on the project’s site or here.

    Wish you a nice working week, mip.
