Hardik’s Info

Recently I come across Debashish Chakrabarty’s site and found interesting Archive page. I downloaded Extended Live Archive plugin and followed all the installation steps. But somehow I cold not get similar page on my Wordpress 2.1 blog!

After digging a lot in Google, I found some discussion at Flickr. After reading all the comments, somehow I could hack the problem by adding one link in af-extended-live-archive.js.php file.

If you are facing similar issue, try your luck by adding following code in \includes\af-extended-live-archive.js.php file…

Old code:

...
	} else {
	    	header("Cache-Control: public");
		header("Pragma: cache");
...

New code:

...
	} else {
	    	header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK');
	    	header("Cache-Control: public");
		header("Pragma: cache");
...

Njoy…

I was looking for support for Java Applet and ActiveX control on various Mobile device browsers.

Here are my findings…

Tech  Browsers   |  PIE   |  Opera |  BB |  NetFront
------------------------------------------------------
Java Applet       |  Y     |  N     |  N  |  Y
------------------------------------------------------
ActiveX           |  Y     |  N     |  N  |  N 

PIE: Pocket Internet Explorer
BB: BlackBerry
Note: NetFront comes with inbuilt JVM

The most common problem we face while downloading a CAB file using PIE (Pocket PC Internet Explorer) is, it renders the content of the CAB file instead of downloading it to local Main Memory.

The reason for this is very simple: the servers don’t set one of the returning HTTP response headers, Content-Type, correctly, but leave it at the default text/plain type.

Solution to this problem is to set proper MIME type in code.

Option 1: Set proper MIME type setting at Web Server.

For example, in Tomcat one can specify the same at web.xml file for extension .CAB

<mime-mapping>
   <extension>CAB</extension>
   <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

Option 2: For a specific link use ‘type’ attribute of <a>

For example,

...
<a type="application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed" href="./file.CAB">Download</a>
... 

MIME type “application/x-msdownload” can also be used for this purpose.

I recently upgraded to WordPress 2.1 and ran into a bug with my Subscribe to Comments plugin. Error I get is,

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in
  LOCAL ADDRESS/wp-content/plugins/subscribe- to-comments.php on line
  438Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
  (output started at
  LOCAL ADDRESS/wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-comments.php:438)
  in LOCAL ADDRESS/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

To fix the issue, open up the subscribe-to-comments.php file, go to line 438 and change what’s there to this:

$previously_subscribed = ( $wpdb->get_var("SELECT comment_subscribe
       from $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = '$postid' AND
       LCASE (comment_author_email) = '$email' AND
       comment_subscribe = 'Y' LIMIT 1") || in_array(stripslashes($email),
       array(get_post_meta($postid, '_sg_subscribe-to-comments'))))
       ? true : false; 

Also, newer version 2.1 of Subscribe to Comments has fixed this issue.

Thanks Ben!
