Been a long time for this one. One of my oldest posts was something like "graymatter has sticky posts so how do I do that here?" Now I know: you tweak a table and 4 files. First, modify your blogs table so you can store which post ID is sticky for each… More »
Okay, I'm trying to create a hack to show the # of guests and # of users and their usernames. The table (which i've placed in B2Evo's db) looks like this: CodeTable name:… More »
Okay so this is kinda neat. It sorts posts by blog kinda like a linkblog does with categories. Throw this into your skins/skinname folder as whateveryoulike.php then do a require on whateveryoulike.php in your _main.php. Customizability exists in the… More »
Some of you may remember me asking about how to do this a few months back (not that there are any remnants of the thread left to be found.) Anyway, I figured it out so sharing for anyone else who wants to do the same: Firstly you'll want to get the RSS… More »
Since starting to use b2evo (a month or so ago), I've been working to develop a [url=http://www.randsco.com/index.php/2005/01/31/css_photo_caption_zoom]pure-CSS photo zoom (with caption)[/url]. I'm done. We've implemented it on our site. I thought… More »
I just set this up on my own blog.. its called Matt's Asides (for WP users). You can see it in action on my own blog (click the signature below) -- just look for posts that are in grey I like snips better, and I've successfully set it up on my b2evo… More »
EdB asked me to post this hack here, since I just finished monkeying my way through it. Basically, Technorati has this new [url=http://www.technorati.com/tag/]tag system[/url] that lets you add a link in your posts to organize your post on Technorati by… More »
Way back in the day there was Isaac's version http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=1422 It's wicked-smart but it's got a bug or two in it that never got cleaned up. Recently gacjezv came up with a really quick method at… More »
I was blocking access to several features in the backoffice by checking the current users ID number against an if statement. This was a pain because everytime a new moderator was added to the site, I'd have to add their ID to the code. To simplify this… More »
I originally posted this hack here but it went down the memory hole so I'm posting it again. This time however it's been slightly improved. More on that later. So you've set up your blog and you've let people register themselves. The only problem is… More »
This is just a nifty way to display your last entry on forums like this one. Ive included the code for b2evo and wordpress on my site. It was inspired by a similar one I saw on here the other day -- only the one I saw was hosted by a service. I prefer… More »
A stripped down uni-purpose version of my magpierss hack. All it does is read feeds from Gallery and put thumbs in your sidebar. Here's the short version. Step one: get [url=http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/]magpierss[/url] and put the extlib folder and… More »
This is probably not the best or easiest way to do this -- however it does work, you can see it at a simple blog set up just for this at this screenshot: http://www.village-idiot.org/images/print-ss.png first you need a print.php in your root… More »
This is a rewrite of a hack originally covered in a different thread. That one added a field to the posts table and incremented a counter each time the post was displayed as a single post page. Spammers or robots not in your conf/_stats file would… More »
I need help! With the the [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?p=13289]CC plugin[/url], I've run into a little snag. These CC licenses should (ideally) have some hidden XML that goes with them, but b2e rejects the code (plugin adds code to… More »
Two bits in your _main.php file. The first goes in the posts loop, and I put mine up at the top because it was already there for a different hack. Code$Item->anchor(); // Anchor for permalinks to refer to$post_id_is = $main_cat_is =… More »
UPDATE: New version with metadata realeased. Same link, see [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?p=13702#13702]notes below[/url]. I posted this in the "Feature Request" forum (because it was a request), but it belongs here too! I have put… More »
The idea is a sidebar blurt that lists posts that have comments. Make it list the post with the newest comment first. Make it do all blogs or just the current blog. Make it link to the post and to the most recent comment. Make it have class. Make it… More »
I've got very little PHP programming experiance, but I can pick it up pretty quickly. I was trying to make a hack where the 3 RSS feeds are in the format "[username] - [post title]" as opposed to just [post title]. If anyone can point me in the… More »

EDIT: This is the second version of this plugin (ignore the version number - it's my idea of funny). This version, thanks to the help in this thread, uses the author's prefered name as the alt text AND the title for the avatar. IE was willing to use alt… More »
