Playing with a blogrum

Posted in : Techno Babble, Skins, Hacks, Plugins & Widgets

Convincing Evo that it's a forum

On the grounds that it's often easier to show something than try explaining it .....go visit the blogrum. Before you ask, no it's not ready for release yet, I need to sort out some permissions stuff to do with comments and tidy up the code and css ..... cos it's a tad messy in there ..... and then it's gonna take a mammoth post to explain what it can do, how, where, why and when. The good news is that it's pretty much just a trick skin with a couple of plugins thrown in, although I have a few more plugins in the works to make it work even more like a forum.

Registration is open, so if you want to have a play then feel free, although guest users can comment in the chatter blogrum so if all you want to do is spam me then there's no need to even register ;)

Tacky Palace 3.0

Posted in : Techno Babble, Skins, b2evo 2.0

Welcome to Tacky 3

As you may have noticed, my tacky palace has just had the decorators in. What you probably haven't noticed is that it's now wrapped around b2evolution 2.0.2.alpha|summat .... how cool is that? ..... well, a tad cooler, now it's also running on a linux box as well, so no more windows hacks for clean urls. Of course this means I now have a few plugins that need tweaking and some other bits and bobs like my contact form, but what the hell, life could be far less interesting ;)

Smiley plugin v 1.9.2

Posted in : Skins, Plugins & Widgets

Well, this time the skin changes are my fault :p

For those of you running 1.9.2 who are using a customised skin, you need to make the following changes to _feedback.php to make the smilies toolbar appear :-

Code:

echo '<div class="comment_toolbars">';
