WordPress Plugin: Reaction Buttons
I finally found time last weekend to try to build my first wordpress plugin. I stumbled across a Blog at bloggers with an interesting little feature: There were a couple of buttons below the post to express your reactions to the post, like “interesting” or “cool”. Since I always like to interact with my readers, especially on my blogs which cover a certain topic, it’s always nice to find ways to make it easier for your readers.
But I couldn’t find a plugin which does that on wordpress and well, long story short, here it is: Reaction Buttons. You can check it out on this very blog and on the screenshot of a clean german wordpress installation below.

I got a new HDD recently and linked /home to a new partition mounted on /data/, /data/home/. Just like I did a dozen times before. Now a realized, that my pdf viewer evince (and surely some other programs) aren’t working anymore. Evince crashes with this error message: (evince:22792): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the

Just made small changes to Reaction Buttons and tested them on a WordPress3 rc3 blog. New features will be in version 1.1. Download the current version directly through the plugins menu or from wordpress.org. What do you think of this post?Interesting (2) Boring (1)
VDR hack: Stream video with synced audio
vor 2 Monaten - Keine Kommentare
VDR streams very well with the streamdev-plugin, but only unicast http streams. That is usually no problem, because even 3 streams aren’t nearly too much for a normal 100Mbit home network and I wouldn’t need any more at home. But with the world cup starting tomorrow me and Karin are going to watch some games
Just read: Wil Wheatons «Dancing Barefoot»

After having read Wil Wheatons «Just a geek» (about which I wrote a week ago), I thought I’ll also read Wils first book «Dancing Barefoot». If you liked Just a geek, I bet you won’t be disappointed by its predecessor. But to be honest I liked Just a geek more, it felt more personal and
Exclude categories in Reaction Buttons

I found some time to check my todo list for reaction buttons and found an old entry about the possibility to exclude posts from a certain category from displaying the Reaction Buttons. Well, now that entry is gone. Grab the new version through the plugin interface within wordpress or download it from wordpress.org. What do
Just read: Wil Wheatons «Just a geek»

Last weekend I finished Just a geek by Wil Wheaton. As a Star Trek fan I always enjoy reading literature about the backgrounds and the people behind Star Trek, but this book wasn’t just interesting, I found it also quite educational about life, the universe and everything. Wil wrote a very open book about his

I just got some new hardware for my new (or overhauled) vdr. (More on that later…) I wanted to try out yavdr and needed a cd drive for the installation. I looked in my basement for an old drive, finally found one in an old IBM Intellistation and got it out of there. Then I
Widget support for Reaction Buttons

I just uploaded a new version of Reaction Buttons, which features a widget now. In that widget you can show the top x posts with the most clicks for each button. Coding took less time than putting the new version online, since there are a lot of places where you can set a version and
Can’t download files from Dokuwiki

Recently I found out, that the user documentation videos my colleague made, weren’t shown anymore in our dokuwiki installation and I couldn’t find out why. Everything worked well, pages were shown, but only downloadable media wasn’t. I added a .htaccess for a different project a while ago and allowed them in the apache configuration. But
New Reaction Buttons version
vor 6 Monaten - Keine Kommentare
Yesterday I finally found some time to include cookies into reaction buttons, so that you could push every button only once. Sure, It’s quite easy to circumvent, but without authentication it’s not possible to prevent that. And authenticating before using the buttons would be against their primary idea. Download from wordpress.org or directly through the
