[BS] C# Wait function.

Hey Guys, You may notice that I’m posting more tutorials. I’ve decided to expand out my responsibilities a little bit. Most of you this wont apply to but possibly it will help a few on the internet. I am developing a new software in c# and I’m learning a lot. One thing I learned recently is that Thread.Sleep() pauses the javascript loading of my browser within my program. Well I need to pause the program logic, but not pause any internal processing. For this reason I’ve written a function to help pause the program logic. It could be considered a wait() instead of a sleep(). Hope it helps: public static int f_sleep(int time) { System.DateTime now = System.DateTime.Now; System.TimeSpan duration = new System.TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, time); System.DateTime then = now.Add(duration); while (then>DateTime.Now) { //MessageBox.Show("NewTime:" + then + "Now:" + DateTime.Now); Application.DoEvents(); Thread.Sleep(10); } return 1; } Similar Posts: Autoblog Blueprint 2.0 Very Big Recommendation 9.4.2.1 Autoblogging Scheduled Posts every X seconds and hours. 9.1.1.1 Adding The Date to the Post Title or Post body using a shortcode Autoblog: Drop Posting Module BlogSense 3.8 Release More News Inside

[WPTT] URL Rotating for Redirect Profiles, Keywords to Tags, Mask Links in Text Widgets-Headers-Footer, Masking Specific Links, Stats for Popups

Hello!

These updates have been added to WpTrafficTools:

URL Rotating for Redirect Profiles

We can now set redirect profiles to accept multiple URLs. The redirect URL that a user is redirected to will be selected at random from the list.

Keywords to Tags

We now have the option to capture incoming keywords and set them as tags to our posts.

Keywords to Tags

Mask Links in Text Widgets-Headers-Footer

We now have options to enable/disable auto-link-masking on text-widgets, the content in our header.php file, and the content in a theme’s footer.php file.

Masking Specific Links That Meet Specifications

We now have the option to only mask external links that meet a certain criteria (strings found within the url). We can leave this field blank to continue masking all external links.

Stats for Popups Profils

We now display the fire count for each popup profile, keeping track of each time a popup profile is fire. Also, popup animation has been slowed down from a half a second to a whole second and the popup will zoom in from the center of the screen rather than the top-right of the screen.

[BS] Thunderbird Message Filters Sort messages by body with Google’s IMAP.gmail.com

So I recently bought a new computer and have had to transfer my thunderbird settings from one computer to another. I used MozBackup to copy the account settings and folder structures, but the custom filters did not transfer over. Turns out there is a plugin extension that allows us to import/export custom filters here, but the extension would not work with Thunderbird 7.0.1. So I just began re-creating the filters. Turns out that the ‘body’ custom filter was was not available. This was terrible news. Thunderbird doesn’t have this feature setting because Thunderbird, when in imap mode, only reads the headers of the emails instead of the whole email when synchronizing   In order to restore the ‘body’ search option we need to set the mail account settings to store our emails on the hard disk. Tools->Account Settings Synchronization & Storage ->Advanced Tick all the folders you would like to have advanced storage on  (I tick all of my folders for every account. Best to have a record). Now ‘body’ should appear! Similar Posts: BlogSense 9.1.0.2 Remote Publishing with Email, Remote Publishing with PixelPipe, Bookmarking with Pixelpipe BlogSense Trick.

[BS] BlogSense Tips Using Youtube Shortcode to Generate Video ID

Sometimes we need to capture the youtube video id so we can embed it into a theme shortcode, or custom video player like JW Player . Here is a trick to use BlogSense’s video generation shortcode to return the video id rather then the object embed code. Go to Automation->Core Templates->Post Template: Youtube Object Edit the template to contain %video_id% only. And voila now the youtube shortcode should return a video id.   Now keep in mind that this template also powers the %video_embed% token within the ‘Videos’ module. So if you are using the Videos module be prepared for the %video_embed% token to return the video id instead of the object embed code.

[BS] %video_id% token for Youtube Module, Ability to use video publish date as post date, custom post_type categories.

Hey guys, We’ve added some minor yet significant improvements in this release. %video_id% Token We can now use %video_id% as a token in our Youtube Module, which may help us with special themes that accept Youtube video ids within shortcodes and custom field values. Use video publish date as WordPress post date Now we have the option to use the publish date of the Youtube video when scheduling videos. I recently was working on a client’s site and it made since to import his Youtube video content into the site retaining it’s original post date to preserve the timeline of the content. Support for auto-posting in to custom post_type sub-categories. This is tricky. Some themes have custom post types and allow users to create categories and sub-categories. I added in the capability to try and insert the post content into the custom post_type’s category, assuming there is a normal category created in the same name. There is no promise it will work yet for your custom theme but I have it working for the itis theme at least, and that helped me out. The secret to it working is for the custom taxonomy name for the unique post_type category has [...]

[BS] A story about organization, methodolgy, and Google+’s potential.

There was a man who decided he was going to prepare a new field for planting crop, and immediately set for clearing the land of it’s trees and then removing the stones from broken soil. As he removed the stones he set them in groups of 10 piles, the first being of the largest boulders, all the way down to the smallest pebbles.  Soon after, a building contractor passes through on his way to market and noticed the 10 piles of rocks and seeing these rocks already sorted he immediately offers to  buy them from the farmer at the price of 40 silver pieces. Then farmer agreed and was very happy with his fortune, and the builder began to collect the rocks. Soon after, neighbors hearing of the farmer’s good fortune approach the builder and say, “We too have rocks in piles that we would let you take off our hands for a small amount of bronze pieces, and yet you offer this man 40 silver.”   The builder replies,  “My Dear fellows, with your stones It is not the same and therefore your fortune cannot be the same either. For see I would have to sort these rocks at the cost of my own labor and time where as with your neighbor the rocks were pre-sorted. [...]

[WPTT] New jQuery Modal Pover Styling for WPTrafficTool’s Popup Management Module

 

Hey Guys,

Recently we found some trouble with the jQuery popover modal box not rendering correctly with internet explorer. The jQuery modal class we were using was not very fancy, it was a simple background dim with hard cut square iframe presentation, and was really only meant to be the first drafts… a placeholder until we can find something better.

Today, in order to tidy up the discovered bugs, I went ahead and replaced the old class with a new one (The FancyZoom Class ) and modified it to support our iframes. I think it’s the same class the wptext2ads plugin used, but I’m not sure.

Anyway it looks sharp, has a zoom in animation, and rounded corners to go ahead and give the popup that most-in-fashion presentational appeal. Big improvement.

Here’s a video demonstrating it in action:

[BS] WPText2ad Similiar to WP Traffic Tools yet different. But definitely worth a look.

Hey Guys, Here’s a slick little plugin that is selling for 10.00. It keyword auto-linking with contextual pop-ups that can contain html, video, audio. It looks very sharp. It’s similar to wptraffictools in the sense that it is an auto-linking device, but it makes use of very pretty jquery popups for some extra visual aid. It’s  selling here at Warrior Forums; worth a look .
