More on S9Y Updates

Okay, so here is the latest Update on changes to this blog. My update to PHP 4.4.1.3 resulted in a great success and fix of an error I was annoyed about for quite a while. As you know this Server is running FreeBSD on a Sparc platform and the PHP-GD module had been broken for months already, but after all those updates I made, I suddenly found it working again - so enjoy the new and now improved captchas resulting from that fix. Additional to that I've been working with Garvin on enhancing the Plugin we (I guess mostly him) have developed last weekend.

It has grown in something called 'Community Rating' and is pretty much usable for every kind of rating one ever could be interested in. For further informations hop over to the (german) website of Garvin and read all about it.

The Plugin is in full effect now in this blog, a very nice example for what it does can be seen here. It automatically gathers rating informations from a website specified and displays them (if available) right away.

Another thing I want to mention here is that there is a fabulous new theme available for S9Y. Carl Galloway ported the award winning 'Connections' skin from WP to S9Y. Check it out on his theme blog or even better do your own testrun of it in my Smarty Testblog.

I've been talking to Carl as I had found a minor problem with the Skin using the Opera browser, he was very helpful and fixed it in no time. I can only recommend you trying out that skin as it's not only very nice looking, but also very sophisticated. I for myself am thinking about switching aswell - I'm just a little stuck with all the other changes I am going through lately.

Speaking of which, I hope the bumpy days should be over by now and while I am still working on the last small problem with the rss feeds, everything else should be working flawless by now. For another time I want to ask you, to report bugs in case you come along any.

Of course the last talk left for me is revising all my old movie entries, I am working on that but that will obviously take me a couple of more weeks I guess. The Bloglines readers of you will be able to follow my process day in day out, for all the others I'll write a short notice as soon as everything is up to date. So stay tuned.

A Community Rating plugin
I recently met with a friend and Serendipity user, Lewe. Since we both are die-hard movie freaks and often rate our movies, we thought about a mean to ease up our rating and IMDB integration scheme. First we used the cool Custom Fields feature of the e

Yes, my blog looks all different. What you see is the previously mentioned Connections theme that Carl Galloway ported from WP. I've worked long hours on it to get it customized and I'm not talking about the logo, but small things like borders, margins an

Surething, go ahead. It's a bit tricky, but once you got the hang of it , it's absolutely lovely.

The only problem is that you probably want to revise all you previous entries afterwards... :)
