Wesley's Tool-Box

I've created/modified both the 'page' type and the 'sidebar' type HTML nugget plug-ins so that the nuggets can be configured to be shown only under a specified language. Simply put, I can utilize this to have different navbar or sidebar for each language of my website, thus making it more 'localized' than before.

Oh, and starting with the 'new' articles on this website, I've decided to actually use that 'extended body' function. Instead of the whole article showing on the overview, only the first part will be shown. This is done so that the main page won't become too long. I think it looks nicer. I'm not sure what to do for the older articles yet.

As noted in my previous entry, I made a plug-in that would let me place an HTML nugget on the top of the entry page. It was nice... but the fact that it's limited to showing up on the entry page only and that it's only for the top of the page, made it limited in its usefulness.

So after much wrestling with the code, I have re-written the plug-in so that it can place the HTML nugget on the top, on the bottom, or even inside the HEAD tag. And it can be configured to show on the entry page, the overview page, or both. All the flexibility of the original HTML nugget plug-in, but in more locations.

The plug-in is now called HTML Nugget on Page. It should appear on the SourceForge CVS as serendipity_event_page_nugget soon.

Okay, I think it confuses the heck out of many people to have the 'Choose Language' sidebar showing... 23 language options. So what did I do? Modify the plugin so I can choose what language to show on the dropdown box.

Box on the left (click for larger image) shows how it looks like from the admin screen. Since this blog is currently written in English and Korean only, I disabled all the other languages from selection. I may re-enable other languages if I get motivated enough to write in other languages, such as Japanese.

I have the plugin modification (now version 1.3) committed to the Sourceforge CVS. It takes a while before it shows up on the web, so come back later if the plugin is still version 1.2.

The Korean localization data I've done is now in the main trunk of the s9y SVN at BerliOS, so it should be readily available starting with next release. The plugins' localizations are also in their respective SourceForge CVS trees. I recommend that the folks needing the localizations get them from these distributions from now on, since I now have access for updating them there.

The Tool-Box custom s9y pack contains various modifications done to plugins as well as the Toolbox theme that I made for use with this website. All files ending with 'copy' are original versions of the files. Unzip the whole thing and copy the files to the appropriate s9y folders. Simple folder replacing in Finder may delete all other files in the folder so beware.
