I noticed last night that there was a problem with comment posting (damn this alpha software) - however, there was a fix in the nightly so I’ve updated my release and hopefully it’s fixed.  I suppose I’ll know when I comment on this post. 

I am in the process of hacking up the "Now Reading" plugin from Roblog into a "Now Playing" plugin.  And for some reason I couldn't get the library links to work.  So after a bit of messing around it seems I've figured it out.  I realized that the actual links to the library were working just the rewriting rules weren't.  That lead me to 'wp-includes/rewrite.php'.  Around line 86 you should see 'var $use_verbose_rules = false;' what I did was change 'false' to 'true'.  After uploading the change to my server I went to the Wordpress control panel and updated my permalink settings.  Then like magic everything works like it should.  :D  I'm going to mess around with the script some more as time permits who knows maybe I'll release my hack in the near future…

I was having some issues with WordPress and the image uploading function, every time I uploaded an image I'd get an error telling me that the thumbnail wasn't found. Taking a look at the code in wp-admin/admin-functions.php (starting at line 750 or so) made me realize that I had a similar error on this server when trying out PixelPost. And the fix was exactly the same.

I just checked and there is a fix up on Trac so it should be good to go with the next release. But, if you need to fix it now open up admin-functions.php and look for (around line 750 or so):

$thumbpath = str_replace(basename($file), $thumb, $file);

just after it insert:

touch("$thumbpath");

And you should be all set.

WordPress 2.0.1 was released the other day - I’ve already updated the site from the nightly code.  Just before the release I started going through Trac to see if I could fix any of the bugs or what not that people had found.  I submitted a couple diffs for some of the minor issues - not for 2.0.1 but for the eventual 2.1 release.  By no means spectacular but, every little bit helps I guess.  Besides it gives me some good PHP practice.  I’m going to follow the Trac and the wp-hackers mailing list as I have time - to see if I can continue to contribute.

I’ve got a couple of ideas in the works for the site - hopefully I’ll have some news posted soon.
