After a bit of search I've found that you can specify the user for external resource by adding it before the domain with a @ so, for me the sintax was:

nextgen-gallery https://simone.fumagalli@nextgen-gallery.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Once you set up the SVN property give an update to the working folder and Eclipse will ask for the password.

This is a small extension for NextGen Gallery, it allow you to specify which area NGG must use to generate the the thumbnail.

Quite often the thumbnails generated by NGG do not show the "right" part of the picture, this happen especially when you have a gallery with people, where you want to show in the thumb the face and not the belly.

Demo

Have a look here where you can see two galleries (same pictures) the first with the standard and the second with custom thumbnails.

Installation

First unpack the archive to the NGG root directory, then open manage-images.php and modify line 338 from

<img class="thumb" src="<?php echo $picture->thumbURL; ?>" <?php echo $thumbsize ?> />

to

<img class="thumb" id="thumb<?php echo $pid ?>" src="<?php echo $picture->thumbURL; ?>" <?php echo $thumbsize ?> />

and add this line at the end of nggallery.php

include_once (dirname (__FILE__)."/admin/custom_thumbnails.php");

Download

Here the package for the version 0.2 it ONLY works with WP 2.7 and NGG 1.0

Download Version 0.2

Nowadays embedded media are really commons in blog's post and all my customers were asking for it.

I found the plugin "Allow Embedded Videos" (http://wpmudev.org/project/Allow-Embedded-Videos) but still the button in the editor didn't show up.

Download it here

hpatoio@namazu:~$ mysqldump -uroot -p DATABASE_NAME -T '/home/simone/export_csv' --fields-terminated-by "," --fields-enclosed-by '"' --lines-terminated-by "\n"

the script will create a files for each table of the DB and will place it in export_csv.

If you need to export a custom resultset or you need to export data from a remote MySQL server on your machine you can use this command :

hpatoio@namazu:~$ mysql -uroot -h HOSTNAME -p DATABASE_NAME -B -e "select field1,field2 ... fieldX from \`TABLE_NAME\`;" | sed 's/\t/","/g;s/^/"/;s/$/"/;s/\n//g' > my_export.csv

var myDate = new Date();
myDate.setDate(myDate.getUTCDate() + shiftDay)
day   = myDate.getUTCDate()
month = myDate.getUTCMonth()*1 + 1
year  = myDate.getUTCFullYear()

This code is quite easy:

  • shiftDay hold the number of days you want to add, if you need to go backwards you can set it to a negative value.
  • myDate is set to the current date
  • At the end we will have the data we need in day, month and year.
  • getUTCMonth return the current month shifted back by one (January is 0, February is 1 and so on) that's why we add 1. We multiply the value returned by getUTCMonth by one to cast it to integer.
