Those of you who read this, and also use wordpress for your own blogs, will appreciate this one.
Wordpress has no native way of moving comments that are incorrectly posted under another post. You can have a hack at the database yourself, or you can use a plugin that recently (in the last few months) went to Version 1.
I came across it while trolling google for a decent solution to a mis posted comment.
It is as simple as this to install (I have my own server, so I have shell access, YMMV):
livewire:/tmp# cd /tmp/
livewire:/tmp# unzip move_comments.zip
livewire:/tmp# mv move_comments /var/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/
Then activate the plugin in your wordpress plugins admin page. You then gain access to quickly move any comment to any post shown:
Did you ever have too many RSS feeds you are subscribed to?
Wasting your time posting updates to Flickr, Twitter, facebook, and so on? This guy thinks he has the answers. Cut out the IM and stop reading your email so often. Me? I just removed 70% of my news feeds in my reader, turned my phone off, and I’m going to bed to read a book (and get away from this blog for now).
As for four hours a week working? I don’t think I can scale back to that yet - but it would be nice.
I have my Powerbook G4 back now. Woooot! It has a fresh install of 10.4.6 on it from the Mac repair shop.
The question is, what do I do with my CCC backup firewire HDD? Clone it back? Migrate it back?
Having watched others roll into 10.5 aka Leopard, I thought it would be time for me to roll into a fresh computer as well. Sans postgresql, custom php install, CVS repository and the last 2 years of installed junk. (Not saying CVS/PHP/PostgreSQL are junk!)
So I’m doing it. I’m migrating. A fresh install - and we will see how good it is. The advantage? A newer faster install.Disadvantages? Days spend getting things right again. But that iss the fun part for a geek! If we can’t tweek, what else is there.
The orginal hint showed how to set up an AppleScript droplet to modify the creation date of a file. But what if you want to sync the modified date and Creation dates instead? This script has been created to do just that. It has evolved from one Daniel A. Shockley provided in a macosxhints comment to the previous hint, and has been extended to fit this purpose.
To set your files modified date to be the same as the creation date, use the AppleScript as a droplet application. Copy and paste the text into a new script in Script Editor, and then save it as an application. Run the application to bring up a requester, or drop your files (not folders) on the application directly.
I’m messing around with the updated Snap Shots code. It enhances the links you see on this page with visual previews of the other sites, interactive excerpts of things like:
They say the “Snap Shots” can bring you the information you need, without having to leave a site, while other times it lets you “look ahead,” before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.
Should you decide this is not for you, snap says it is as simple as clicking the Options icon in the upper right corner of a Snap Shot and opting-out.
