I was worried about it when i was browsing through the FAQ of my webhost. I opened the topic “How to redirect my site so it always appear with www.?” and this is what i saw…

You should know that codehomepage.com was my previous domain. It still redirects to arolabs.com.
At least they could have changed the domain name here…

I don’t really care they used my code, but it would have been nice they told me they’re going to use it. Or give me some free hosting…

Now this redirect script is something that’s available all over the net, but what about your own coded applications ? They could just zip it and sell it !

That’s the reason all my profesional websites are hosted on a dedicated server.

Do you think your website is save with your current hosting provider ? (Even if your not on a shared hosting account).

add to digg

Well done !

The first line looks like this:

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? >

The PHP code:

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

1. function readfirstline($file){
2.    $fp = @fopen($file, "r");
3.    $firstline = fgets($fp);
4.    fclose($fp);
5.    return $firstline;
6. } 
7. function get_attr(  $line ,$attr) {
8.   $start = strpos($line,"$attr");
9.   $line =  substr($line,$start);
10.   $arr_enc = split("\"",$line);
11.  
12.   return $arr_enc [1];
13. }
14.  
15. $path = "home/user/feeds/id.xml";
16. $line= readfirstline($path);
17.        
18. echo get_attr(  $line ,"encoding");

1. Download the plugin

Download the Hot Or Not plugin here
Unzip this file into the /wp- content/plugins/ folder.

2. Adding the radionbutton group to the comment form.

This radiobutton has to be added in the < form > tag of the comments. You can find this somewere at the bottom of your "template/comments.php" file. It looks somethin like this.

PLAIN TEXT

HTML:

1. <form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">

You have to paste the code below in that form.

PLAIN TEXT

HTML:

1. <p>
2.   <input name="hon_group" type="radio" /> Yes
3.   <input name="hon_group" CHECKED="true" type="radio" /> no
4.  </p>

3. Dynamically add the class to the comment

In the beginning of that same file, there is a php foreach statement to print all comments.

PLAIN TEXT

HTML:

1. <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

A bit further in the file you have to add the hotornot class to the listitem:

PLAIN TEXT

HTML:

1. li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" class="<?php print $comment->css ?>">

4. Activate the plugin

Active the plugin in the admin "Plugins" screen in wordpress.

5. Change the css style of your comments

You can do this in the template/style.css file.

.vote_hot {style.css (line 692)
background-color:#CDEEAB;
border-top:1px dotted #006600;
color:#006600;
}

.vote_not {style.css (line 699)
background-color:#FFE0E0;
border-top:1px dotted #F5857E;
color:#AB0000;
}

Whie in the vi program you can use the following useful commands, you will need to hit SHIFT + : to go into command mode

:q! : This force quits the file without saving and exits vi
:w : This writes the file to disk, saves it
:wq : This saves the file to disk and exists vi

ps: ps is short for process status, which is similar to the top command. It's used to show currently running processes and their PID.
A process ID is a unique number that identifies a process, with that you can kill or terminate a running program on your server (see kill command).
ps U username : shows processes for a certain user
ps aux : shows all system processes
ps aux --forest : shows all system processes like the above but organizes in a hierarchy that's very useful!
