Veškeré aktivity byli připraveny jak ve španělštině, tak i v angličtině. Je ale třeba říci, že při hromadných instruktážích pro obě skupiny nakonec vždy přednášející přešel ke španělštině. V některých případech to pak vedení vyřešilo opravdu šalamounsky, poslali nás do tak malé učebny, že se tam půlka zájemců prostě nevešla.

Dalším bodem programu bylo: vyděste ty lidi, co to jde. V čem to spočívá? Byrokracie. Když nevyplníte množství papírů větší než malé, tak budete buď vyhoštěni ze země nebo vás vyhodí ze školy. Ale abych nepředbíhala. Asi nejdůležitější jsou víza. Ty si sice člověk vyřídí již před odjezdem, ale ve výsledku to není žádná výhra. V Mexiku si totiž na imigračním oddělení musíte nechat zapsat trvalý pobyt. A to je oříšek. Nejprve jsme vyplnili formulář pro školu. Po jeho přijetí v příslušné kanceláři si můžeme vyzvednout další sadu dokumentů, které budeme potřebovat. Nejlépe v několika kopiích. Po dvou dnech jsem ještě pořád nic nedostala. Vzhledem k tomu, že na tuto proceduru je vyhrazeno 30 dní a já jsem tu již skoro 10 a nic se neděje, začínám být mírně nervózní. Co se týče pojištění, to by vydalo na krátkou povídku… Jednoduše řečeno: abyste se dostali k těm správným dokumentům, musíte vyplnit další hromadu papírů. Inu, dej blbci funkci a vymyslí lejstro.

Chtěla jsem se ještě věnovat našemu kampusu a kolejím, ale myslím, že to bude lepší nechat až na příště. Třeba zítra, až zjistím, že budu do 3 týdnů deportována.

IImage Gallery should work with permalinks on most servers. On the other hand Polyglot suffers from many WP bugs. Therefore the permalink support is not perfect yet.

Both plugins need a lot of testing now so if you use any of them on your web be so kind and try the latest version.

For those who don't know FeedBurner yet – continue to services description. Shortly – you get statistics and some aditional services for your RSS feed for free.

How to use it with Wordpress?

If you use .htaccess file on your web – continue to WordPress FeedBurner Plugin.

The other people (including me) who are not allowed to use .htaccess files by their webhosting company. (So we have to have index.php in the permalink structure of our Wordpress powered website.) must employ simple hack to achieve the same result.

Step by step

1. Register at FeedBurner and when they ask you about your feed address use this:
   http://addressofyourweb/index.php?feed=rss2
   e.g. http://fredfred.net/skriker/index.php?feed=rss2
2. Now the hack comes. Open wp-feed.php in the root directory of your site and edit it according to this example:

   
<?php
if (empty($doing_rss)) {
$doing_rss = 1;
require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-blog-header.php');
}

   //this is the code for FeedBurner
if( $wp_query->query =='feed=feed' ){
header("Location: http://feeds.feedburner.com/skriker/");
exit;
}
//end of the added code


   where you replace http://feeds.feedburner.com/skriker/ with the address that you've got from the FeedBurner.

3. All feeds from the default RSS address generated by Wordpress (http://yourweb/index.php/feed/ e.g. http://fredfred.net/skriker/index.php/feed/) are redirected to the FeedBurner but your readers don't notice any change.

So I’ve created Archivist – plugin (for Wordpress) that does this job in a nice way.

Installation

Copy archivist.php file to your wp-content/plugins directory and activate it.

Settings

All these settings can be changed in archivist.php:

'number_of_posts' – number of posts from the archive that should be shown on the front page.

'random' – these posts can be selected randomly or sorted by date.

'frontpage_position' – where should be selected post(s) inserted on the front page. Picture above shows the situation where this value is set to 1. (Archive post is inserted after the first post.)

'from_categories' – it's possible to limit the categories where the post(s) are selected from. Just insert the list of category IDs.

'older_than' – defined in days. E.g. 60.

'newer_than' – defined in days.

'keep_the_limit_of_posts_per_page' – Set to "true" if the very last post(s) on the front page should be "removed" from the this page in order to keep the limit of number of posts per page. Set to "false" if these "removed" posts should be just "moved" futher. Only issue is when set "true" that you will "miss" these "removed" posts on the second page:(

'title' – defines how should be changed the title of selected post(s). There is added "From the archive: " before the title of each post by default.

Not easy, right?:) You obviously need new Character Map plugin in your Wordpress if you want to use these weird characters in your posts.

After the simplest possible installation (unpack and activate it) – you get the "Character Map" button in the Quicktags area:

New window is opened when you click on this button and the whole new world of never seen characters is waiting for you.

Try demo of Character Map!

Select the subset in the menu on the left side or turn it off by clicking on the name of the subset (in the menu or above the characters). Enlarged version of character is shown in the top left corner when you put the cursor over the character. Then you have to just click once and selected character is copied to the post text area.

For more info and download continue to IImage Gallery

If you would like to see the preview of your post exactly as it looks like on your page (with all formating etc.) before you publish it – JÄÅ Preview plugin is what you need. Because JÄÅ Preview works with all themes!

How it works

After installation – you get a new button in your Quicktags area. Just click on it!

New window with your post should be opened. Don't forget that you have to save your post before you click on the "preview" button.

You are allowed to see the preview of the post only if you are logged into the administration of you web and your user level is heigher than the authors level or you are the author of the post.

Download

jaeaa-preview1.0.zip

Installation

Unpack preview-plugin.php to your wp-content/plugins directory and activate it.

P. S.

You should also try these plugins: IImage Browser, IImage Gallery, Polyglot, IImage Panorama

BTW do you know how to pronounce JÄÅ?
No?
Ok – just like this: yaeo:)

Fix:

23. 05. 2005 – preview.php removed – we don't need it anymore as I have found much smarter way how to do that. Thanks to www.mattread.com

Open an image in the new window

To open full-size image in new window – try something like this:
$ig_before_each = '<a href="%src" onClick="JavaScript:window.open('%src', '%title', 'scrollbars=yes'); return false" class="gallery_item" target="_blank">';

If user has enabled JavaScript – pop-up window without scrollbars appears when he clicks on the image. User without JavaScript support gets new standard browser window with image. Please note that if you want to have your site XHTML valid you have to remove target="_blank". It seems that there is no "valid" way how to open a new window in XHTML without support of JavaScript at the moment .

Template page

Example of simplest template page:
<html>
<head>
<title><?PHP echo $ig_img_title;?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?PHP
echo "<img src="$ig_img_src" alt="$ig_img_alt" title="$ig_img_title" /><br />";
echo "<strong>$ig_img_title</strong>";
?>
</body>
</html>

Save this example as gallery.php to the root directory of your WP and then modify $ig_before_each:
$ig_before_each = '<a href="http://addressOfYourSite/gallery.php?ig_img_src=%src&amp;ig_img_title=%title" class="gallery_item">';

Template page in the new window

To open new browser window with template page you need to combine both examples:
$ig_before_each = '<a href="http://addressOfYourSite/gallery.php?ig_img_src=%src&amp;ig_img_title=%title" onClick="JavaScript:window.open('http://addressOfYourSite/gallery.php?ig_img_src=%src&amp;ig_img_title=%title', '%title', 'scrollbars=yes'); return false" class="gallery_item" target="_blank">';

Open an image in the new CENTRED window

This example is for a bit advaced users and was provided by A.D.

1. Replace default $ig_before_each with the following:

$ig_before_each = '<a href="#" onClick="openWithSelfMain('%src', '%title', '%width', '%height'); return false" class="gallery_item">';

2. Add commented lines to function "iimage_gallery_create_gallery($text){}" like this:

……….. here: ……………….

$ig_patterns[0] = '/\%src/i';
$ig_patterns[1] = '/\%alt/i';
$ig_patterns[2] = '/\%title/i';
$ig_patterns[3] = '/\%tsrc/i';

/* A.D.'s hack for open-new-imagesized-window */
$ig_patterns[4] = '/\%width/i';
$ig_patterns[5] = '/\%height/i';
/* end A.D.'s hack */

………. and here: …………….

$title = ' ';
$src = $abs_path .md5($matches[$i][1]) .strrchr($matches[$i][1], '.');

/* A.D.'s hack for open-new-imagesized-window */
$im_attr = getimagesize($matches[$i][1]);
$im_width = $im_attr[0];
$im_height = $im_attr[1];
/* end A.D.'s hack */

if(preg_match("/.*?alt="([^"]*)".*?/i",$matches[$i][0],$bar)){

…….. and at last here: ……….

//unset($ip_replacement);
$ig_replacement = array(0 => $matches[$i][1], 1=>$alt, 2=>$title, 3=>$src, 4=>$im_width, 5=>$im_height);

….

3. Create file "yourScript.js" with the following code and put it to Your theme's dir:

function openWithSelfMain(url,name,width,height) {
var options = "width=" + width + ",height=" + height + "toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no";

newWindow = window.open(”,”,options);
newWindow.document.open();
newWindow.document.write('<html><title>'+name+'</title><body bgcolor="#CCCCCC" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" onblur="self.close();" onclick="self.close();"><img src="'+url+'" alt="'+name+'" title="'+name+'"></body></html>');
window.self.name = "Picture";
newWindow.moveTo(((screen.availWidth/2)-(width/2)),((screen.availHeight/2)-(height/2)));
newWindow.focus();
}

4. Include following JS code in your theme's header.php before </head>:

<script language="JavaScript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/yourScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

5. Create Your gallery.
Full-size image will open centered in new fullimage-sized window.
Window will close "onClick" in Internet Explorer.
Window will close "onClick" or "onBlur" in Firefox.
