Paint the Tiger, Carve the Swan

I don’t know how I never found this before…

You can use {$smarty.get.<var>} to get the URL variable you want. For instance, you can use the following ones in WordPress MultiUser:

• year
• monthnum
• day
• name
• paged/page
• category_name
• wpblog

Unfortunately, these variables don’t seem to be set with Pages, rather than Posts.

However, this has given me some tips as to how to fix the .htaccess RewriteRule problems causing Blogsome not to display subsequent pages of monthly archives. Possibly something to do with the fact it uses page, rather than paged, and that for some reason it parses the word page as the name of the post. This looks like not a .htaccess bug at all, now that I think of it.

This is more of a personal note, rather than a blog post, but still…

• timemods.js parts do not work in IE 5.5
• quicktags.js does not remove some text (as required) in IE 5.5
• floater.js has some issues with IE - clicking the shrink/grow checkbox when not at the top of the page is buggy. It then moves the box down too far, and keeps moving it down when scrolling
• In IE, the buttons are too wide. This might actually be a CSS issue, rather than a script issue.

Luis Suarez, over at elsua.net wanted to know how to get his posts out of Blogsome.

It’s really quite simple - all you need to do is use any XMLRPC offline composer that can get an arbitrary number of posts. ecto is a great example.

Then set it to get more posts than you have, and it will grab them all from the server. You may need to learn how to set it all up - I won’t go through that here, but if enough people comment, I will write a tutorial.
