Wordpress YouTube playlist plugin

Thursday, October 8th, 2009 in Mootools, Wordpress | 11 comments

Wordpress YouTube playlist plugin WP MyTube is the Wordpress plugin implementation for YouTube MooTools player embed with attached playlist. Simply put, this plugin will allow you to easily insert YouTube videos into your Wordpress blog posts based on username or video id only. The attached playlist will display the user videos giving you the possibility to add several videos and only one player in your blog posts. This is very useful, for example, if you are a publisher that wants to display his youtube videos into a blog post.

Videos are added to your posts when you either add them or on edit. No special other settings for it except the stylesheet if you want to change the looks. To add videos to you blog posts, when you add/edit a post you’ll notice a new “add media” icon in shape of a tv. Simply click it, fill in the necessary information and the plugin will add the custom code to your pages. Hit save and that’s it.

If you want to add more than one player into a single post, well, you can do that. The plugin allows any number of players to be displayed in a single post without problems.

Further more, you can style the player to have a default look and if you want a second player to have a different look, you can add custom CSS class to it by passing the class name when you insert a new player. (more…)

Wordpress 2.7.1 featured articles plugin

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 in Mootools, Wordpress | 147 comments

Featured articles - WP and MooTools plugin Featured articles gives the wordpress blog admin the possibility to display posts in a slick n cool way on the home page, just above the first post from the loop. It’s developed for Wordpress 2.7.1 with the help of MooTools 1.2, probably the best JavaScript framework around ( please don’t try to argue on this on the comments ).

From the available plugin options I’ll mention the possibility to display any number of posts you feel comfortable with, the order in which they will appear ( newest, oldest or random ) and thumbnail display. Since I remembered the thumbnail, some explaining on it. The thumbnail represents the first image encountered in each separate post. If none available, none displayed.

For further settings on display options, there’s the JavaScript class. The script itself resides inside the script folder of the plugin directory. For this you can set timings between slides, whether to show numbered paging or not, how the slides will slide ( left or top ) and other. (more…)

Wordpress 2.1.3 admin-ajax.php vulnerability

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007 in Wordpress | 4 comments

Surfing the web today I’ve spotted a vulnerability about Wordpress that gives the attacker the possibility to find out your admin login username and the md5 hash of your password.
It uses the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php file to achieve that. How it works it’s not the point, but how you can protect from it is.

One solution to avoid this problem is to upgrade to the latest version but if you don’t want to do that, there are a few things you can do to avoid an attack. (more…)
