Wordpress Plugins

Download : kca-2.0.5.zip [Addons]
Version: 2.0.5
Downloaded: 5370 times

Purpose

KCA allows you to add Javascript code snippets to any page on your site. It has an easy to use interface that lets you add, delete or manage your scripts. All your data is stored in the Wordpress database, so when it's time to update, there's no need to edit your template files anymore.

Screenshot

Demo

Most of the Javascript on this page has been added using KCA. Usually I would have to edit each template file to add the Javascript, but with KCA I can manage it all via the admin interface. It lets me keep track of and selectively activate/deactivate certain scripts if need be. Adding CSS is also simpler. Actually, adding anything to any part of page is a snap.

When the time comes to upgrade Wordpress, KCA makes the process a lot easier. Since KCA operates on the rendered page only, I no longer have to manually add the Javascript code to each Wordpress file that has changed.

Compatibility

Wordpress 1.5.x
Wordpress 2.x.x

New Installation

Unzip and upload the "kca" directory into the plugins directory, keeping the directory structure intact.
Make sure correct permissions are applied (files=0644, directories=0711).
Activate the plugin.
Find the plugin management page under Manage->KCA
Click "Restore" under "Global" to populate with default settings.
By default all sample records are activated.
Uncheck "Activate", then "Update" to deactivate ones you don't require.
Play with the default record sets.
To restore original record sets, hit the "Restore" button in "Global".

Upgrading

Deactivate kca.
Remove old "kca" directory (to make sure no left over redundant files are carried over to the new version upgrade, since some files have changed).
Unzip and upload the "kca" directory into the plugins directory, keeping the directory structure intact.
Make sure correct permissions are applied (files=0644, directories=0711).
Activate the plugin (if you haven't already done so).
Find the plugin management page under Manage->KCA
Go to "Global" and click "Upgrade". The database will be converted to the latest format, ready for use.

Note:

Be sure to upgrade the data BEFORE you do anything else, otherwise you will lose the data already in the database.

To be certain you won't lose any data:

Extract what data you do have
Copy & paste to text file
Save it somewhere

If something does go wrong, at least you will have some form of backup.

Search for related posts.

Compatibility

Wordpress 1.5.x
Wordpress 2.x.x

Installation

Backup data first
Deactivate and delete old install of KQF files (ie. "kqf" directory).
Unzip and upload the "kqf" directory into the plugins directory, keeping the directory structure intact.
Make sure correct permissions are applied (files=0644, directories=0711).
Activate the plugin.
You can:
- Manage > KQF > Subscriptions: to add new feed subscriptions.
- Manage > KQF > Options > Import from OPML subscription file, then navigate to KQF folder and try the OPML (XML) samples found there.
Read the rest of readme.txt.

Just curious, I haven’t done any php AJAX yet. But I need a plugin that will just allow you to block any piece of php+HTML and ajaxify it. Maybe specifying a refresh interval. It seems like you could easily derive this from your AJAX based KQF. Sound at all interesting? let me know. Thanks!

By ajaxify, I mean cause just the enclosed block to be updated without entire page postbacks on certain specified intervals.

Well, in my limited experience, I can think of two ways to do what I’m talking about, iframes and DOM manipulation. But I guess i figured you already had that piece solved and implemented in KQF. It says it’s an AJAX powered plugin you can use to add feeds to a page/post. I assumed that meant it periodically polled the feed and if there were updates refreshed the block in an AJAX fashion without requiring a page postback. I may well have misunderstood that point.

What I’m envisoning is just the ability to block some code, just PHP that generates HTML from data in the database, and cause it to update periodically without page postback.

006: khanh

Friday, September 1st, 2006 @ 4:03 am

Matt,

Implement a timer on KQF to poll the feeds once every now and then? That should be no problem if that’s what you mean. I could add a user definable timer option for each feed.

Or do you mean you would like for KQF to have the ability to load static data from the database instead of a feed and display that instead?

The first option I have not thought about, but it sounds like a good idea and the second option I have been meaning to add, when I am able.

From your initial query, I thought you proposed a new plugin altogether.

007: matt

Friday, September 1st, 2006 @ 5:16 am

OK, I have now actually tried out KQF. I have a better understanding of the problem you were solving. You essentially wanted asynchronous content loads from feeds.

So, yes, I am proposing both of what you mentioned:
1. Allow a KQF to be refreshed on a certain interval. Ideally you don’t revert to a “Loading…” message, you just re-poll the feed and update the content once you have it.
2. Allow a KQF to contain php and/or HTML to pull its content from the database. You called it static data, but I would consider it dynamic content, just from the db not from a feed.

For instance I have an iTunes plugin on my homepage. In the sidebar I just have to call . That then has the php code to go to the database find out what the last track was played and generates the HTML. I guess the way it could work is I could set up a KQF that just called and set it to refresh every 3 minutes. Then, in the sidebar I would just reference my KQF.

I don’t think you would need to make it an all new plugin. But, if you think about it, it is a logical layer of abstraction. To be able to do AJAX refreshes for blocks of content. It doesn’t matter if the content is dynamic because it’s php going to a db or a feed.

To me it’s a new plugin that essentially replaces the current one because you are refactoring the functionality to be more universally applicable. The KAB, Khanh’s AJAX Block.

I had the impression you were requesting a whole new plugin, but I’m glad that is not the case.

As for the 2 requests you made, it shouldn’t be too hard to implement when I get the chance. I have added them to my to do list. At any rate, your requests generally fit into my plans for the direction I want take with this plugin, so that makes things a little easier.

The new name is the problem. I don’t want to change the name too many times, since it has already had a name change already. KQF started as a simple dashboard plugin (KQD). But I guess a name change is necessary to reflect the plugin’s purpose.

I haven’t thought of a new name for it as yet, but I will keep your suggestion in mind.

Hmmm…K9 has a certain ring to it, because we all know K9s like to fetch.

Hi John,

I’ve got your plugin installed and all seems to be working fine.. except I’ve surely got a user issue that I just can’t figure out… even reading the readme.txt..

I’m trying to display a feed on this page:
http://www.recipechicks.com/smoothies

However, it seems to be stuck “Loading…”
… the feed shows up fine in the dashboard… any idea what I’m doing wrong and how to fix it?

The actual feed link is:

Judi,

Your situation probably has to do with the template. Templates need to have “wp_footer();” somewhere in the footer. Look at the default template (footer.php file) to see where.

This tag is Wordpress’ way of telling plugins, “I am in the footer section now”. That’s the cue for plugins that use this hook to do their stuff.

Try that and see if it works.

kaho,

Looking at what you have in KCA, “Reference” needs to be a valid element ID on the page you want to include that test . I assume you just want to insert a test button somewhere on your test page.

I have edited the two KCA examples. Go and have a look at how each one works. The first example shows how to just add content to the page, while the 2nd example shows how to insert content in relation to another element on the page.

When using the “Eval” field, make sure it is valid PHP.

Go here to see 2 “test” buttons. To find out more about conditional tags, read this. Yes, you can use KCA on any page, depending on what you put in the “Eval” field. Leave it blank for KCA to apply to every page.

Hey there, cool plugin! I was just looking for a way to provide feed customization for the dashboard within the admin. KQF does the trick!

One small thing I noticed is that “Howdy, USer Name. [Sign Out, My Account]” that usually appears at the top right of the admin pages is now missing from the default dashboard page. It IS on dashboard > KQF (the KQF configuration screen), but not on the dashboard itself.

I’m having problems getting the RSS feeds to display.

Originally my templates were the cause and I added all the nescessary wp_head() and wp_footer() tags to the page. I even perverted kqf.php to echo some verbage as each step of the plugin took place.

You can view the page here:
cfv88.com/cloud/

You can see the buffer text all over the page as your plugins hooks trigger.

Don’t know what to try next, everything works on my dashboard, just not in the actual site.

Made me scratch my head for a bit. The error relates to cross domain security. It seems that even if the domain is the same, but for the fact of the ‘www’ prefix, the browser considers this a different domain. To cut a long story short - it’s fixed and I’ve uploaded the 1.7.2 update.

I just upgraded to 1.7.2–thanks fr the fix regarding the logout link on the dashboard!

Unfortunately, I haven’t managed to get the new version working–I can’t see any feeds on the Dashboard. Everything else seems to be working fine.

I deactivated the plugin and deleted my old KQF files. I uploaded the new files, set the permissions and re-activated the plugin. I noticed that the feed that I had setup in the old version was displayed on the upgraded KQF page–did something from my last install not get properly deleted?

Any ideas as to why the upgrade didn’t succeed? (My money is on it being something obvious that I just haven’t seen yet!

Good to hear something works! I haven’t updated the FAQs yet, but essentially you will have to update each template. The template format has changed, so look at the readme.txt file for reference.

An easier way of doing it is to delete all the records, then enter them again one by one. This way all the new records will start out with the new default templates. Saves you from manually editing each template.

Could you give a sample that would work on any page and one that works on a specific page? None of the samples I find work, silly things like eval, needle, and reference may mean something to you, but us newer users need some kind of working reference to work from. ID’s especially need clarification as to div,ul,etc or any id=”" tag?

I tried the eg. samples in the readme file, and it doesnt work either, maybe just a bad assumption that it would lead to a working button.

Any chance an upgrade might include the ability to also show the excerpt with the feed title link on posted feeds?

Also, how about caching the feed behind the scenes so the loading doesn’t take as long on page loads for visitors for some feeds?

I did a page with the Google blog and other feeds related to search engines (like Matt Cutts, etc.) and I know the feeds are good, but they don’t load all the time when hitting the page.

Not sure how regular feed readers get the info back so fast, but this app gets some feeds with no problem and others take awhile or don’t load at all.

Thanks for supporting a free plugin like you do!

Trevor,

I’ve had a look at the HTML in the page and I noticed that there are a few superfluous chunks of CSS in the head section (Eg. contact form CSS doesn’t need to appear on a page that doesn’t have a contact form). While this doesn’t affect KQF, the plugin that adds that code could be the culprit.

Maybe another plugin is interfering with KQF’s ability to add the necessary Javascript to the page. Try switching some of the other plugins off.

KQF runs fine on a fresh install, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t work for you.

050: khanh

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007 @ 1:47 am

Jack,

Have a look at the templating system in KQF. The templates let you control what data to include, as well as the look of the feed display.

KQF also uses MagpieRSS that comes with Wordpress. It has built-in caching. The only time KQF does not cache is when you specifically tell it not to. Eg. when you set a poll time for the feeds. When a poll time is set, KQF will wait the time specified, then retrieve data from the feed source, bypassing the local cache (thereby refreshing the cache as well).

Great plugin! Thanks. When using it, however, I would really like to be able to control the number of post links it imports from each source. For example, in some cases I want to show 10, in others only 5.

I can’t see a way to do that, but if it was possible for the next version it would make a great plugin even more functional.

Thanks.

What error message(s) do you get in FF? I doubt it has anything to do with CHMOD, because I notice KCA does add the supporting JS scripts to your pages, so it is working. Make sure your template is calling the footer hook, otherwise plugins using this hook will fail.

Make sure the feed URL is entered correctly. If you use Firefox, check to see if you get any error messages. It could be something to do with the server you are on - maybe it’s set up differently. It’s very hard to tell what the problem is with the limited information you have given me.

Hi, I’ve just reupload & reinstall the plugin on my blog. You can check my blog (on the bottom right of the page). Why do the feeds appear on my Wordpress Dashboard, but doesn’t appear on my blog page? Is it something to do with my server?
Note: The feeds are taken from my blogspot blogs.

Make sure wp_head() appears somewhere in the header.php file of your theme. The feeds are retrieved using the same method as in the Dashboard, so it shouldn’t be a server issue. The difference is the hook I mentioned. Either that, or another plugin is interfering somehow.

It works fine on my local install of WP 2.1.2. It could be clashing with another plugin. If you use Firefox, try to find out what the error message is, otherwise I can’t help you.

Hi Khanh,

KQF is a brilliant piece of work - congratulations.
I have been experimenting with its use with Yahoo Pipes, and it has (mostly) been successful. However, some of my pipes have lots of ‘code’ in them, and presumably this causes some them to take a little bit longer to render than say your average garden variety rss or atom feed.
As a result, the display in KQF has been variable, with the “Loading” message persisting forever on any given page load for some feeds.
So, I’m wondering if there is any tweak, or hack, that I could apply to change the timeout for fetching a feed?
For now my use of KQF is not presented to casual visitors at my web site. Here is the page where I am using it: http://www.themineshaftgap.com/blog/?page_id=394.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Paul M.

I’ve thought about feed timeouts, but just haven’t got around to implementing it yet. You could try hacking feed.js. It would be similar to how the “Abort” link works - except with a timer attached. If you are keen, give it a try, otherwise wait till I add it myself - when I get the chance.

Just downloaded the new version 1.0.2, and it is not working with my version of WP (2.1.3).

When activated, it activates successfully. When you click on “notepad” on the navigational bar, it redirects to the Wordpress Admin Options page. Also, if you hold down shift+click on notepad link, it opens up a new window and it does NOT redirect, but it actually goes to the ntoepad tab, but theres no content in it. Something is seriously wrong with this program, and this is the third time (third version) not to work.

I have read the FAQ and read me. I must the the 1% that didn’t work.

Sure, I can have a look at it. The only problem is I don’t have the same setup as you.

KCA works no problems on WP 1.2 -> WP 2.1.3, so your situation is rare. My guess is another plugin is clashing with KCA.

Try deactivating all other plugins and see of KCA works. Then reactivating the plugins one by one until you know which one causes the clash (if at all).

Get back to me on the results.

which is great, except how do I turn Javascript on? As far as I knew it was never turned off…

Ok, here’s the lowdown…

It is too hard to know what is wrong with a particular setup by guess work alone. It is making my head hurt. Really.

So, from now on if a particular plugin of mine does not work for you, use the contact form to email me:

- details of the problem (eg. KCA fails to load)
- system you are using (eg. Windows XP)
- browser you are using (eg. Firefox 2.0.0.3)
- access details (ie. just setup a temporary user & pwd with sufficient priviledges - you can delete the account later)

I will look at the problem when I can.

Hi,

Am really looking forward to using the plugin and have just one small query about the instructions which is possibly a very simple question. in your instructions you suggest:

3. Make sure correct permissions are applied (files=0644, directories=0711).

Is that to the KQF plugin directory and is it an either/or setting? I know how to change the permissions to folders or files using my FTP manager but I am not sure what to give the correct permissions and whether I am to set it to 0644 or 0711 because I only seem to have one option.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello again,

Sorry for such a late update. It ended up being another plugin. Never nailed it down, only because I actually just did alot of maintenance on my site and redesign, so no telling what plugin it was as I got rid of a little of this and a little of that.

One thing though. I have a feature request, unless it is already a feature (if it is, then I don’t know how to do it). Being able to have a note, just like usual, but when you are done putting your notes together, be able to convert it to a post and it will remove the note from the database and start a new post with it.

Just a thought.

I have no way to add the URL of the feed so right now I cannot do much with this plugin, and I’d like to!

KQF works correctly with the latest WP 2.1.3. If you are having problems, it’s because of incorrect server settings.

KQF needs to access certain global variables. If it doesn’t find these variables (such as $user_level), you will end up with a blank page. This is because you will be deined access to that page due to insufficient priviledges.

Talk to your admin about applying the correct settings for your server.

101: Dusko

Comment [ | Delete ]
Sunday, May 13th, 2007 @ 6:05 am

Many thanks for such a speedy reply. Indeed, $user_level is not setup in any way in the code as it is now. I shall certainly ask my host about the solution you proposed, but in the meantime, could I manually set up the default values of $user_level and/or any other variable that is not initiated in KQF!?

102: Dusko

Comment [ | Delete ]
Sunday, May 13th, 2007 @ 8:18 am

I have asked my host about global variables in PHP and this is what they told me:

to make a variable global you need to put:
global $user_level

Would that solve the problem? If it would, which variables should be declared as global?

Sorry to press you upon this so much, I’d just like to get this plugin working.

103: khanh

Comment: Admin [ | Delete ]
Sunday, May 13th, 2007 @ 6:07 pm

Indeed, that statement is on line 608 in kqf.php, but as I said earlier, due to how your server is set up, $user_level is undefined as a global variable.

If you want to test whether this is the case or not, just comment out line 609 ie. put “//” at the start of that line, without the quotes.

What you will find is the page will show, but another part of the script will fail, due to the earlier problem arising again.

There is nothing wrong with the plugin code. Get the server set up correctly and the plugin should work.

Secondly, when loading the Notepad, under Messages, it just says “Loading…” and stays like this. All the “Ajaxified” stuff, is not working. Does this in IE and Firefox. I am only running one instance of KIN.

I have deactivated all Plugins and only had KIN activated. This is the same for WP 2.1.3 and WP 2.2.

Alright, I’ve done a true test.

I made a new directory on my host that is in a subfolder of a subfolder (pretty much a test area of my host so that I can test things before I push them live).

I created a new database, downloaded WP 2.2 from wordpress.org and installed the latest version of KIN and installed Wordpress from scratch with the default install and activated KIN.

KIN is not working correctly. So on a fresh install of everything in a totally different location it still breaks via what I stated above (almost like no AJAX / Javascript type stuff is working.

Hope you can resolve this sometime soon.

Ok, after a bit of head scratching, I traced the problem to the fact that __FILE__ and $_SERVER[’SCRIPT_FILENAME’] reported different values - in your case.

__FILE__ reported an extra directory level, while $_SERVER[’SCRIPT_FILENAME’] negated this. And since my core function did some funky RegExps to obtain an URL from an absolute path, this tripped it up.

To cut a long story short, I got rid of the offending function and used another less robust, but more reliable method.

In other words, it’s fixed.

The dashboard will be empty until you add your own feeds. WP news boxes are feeds from here:

That just states the time since the item was published. At the moment this is calculated by subtracting the local time (your time) from the time the item was published on the server.

A problem arises when the server where the feed comes from is in an earlier timezone than you. That’s when you will get weird times.

I will eventually fix this issue, but for now, just go into the template for that feed and delete:

<cite style="float:right"><small>[freshness] ago</small></cite>

KQF sounds like just what I’ve been looking for to do without the rss2blog… thanks.
Would your plugin work with the Semiologic Pro theme/CMS?

138: khanh

Comment: Admin [ | Delete ]
Sunday, September 9th, 2007 @ 10:43 pm

It should work for all themes. I do not think search engines index links spat out by KQF, because the plugin uses Javascript/AJAX. So, whether to add “nofollow” to outgoing links or not, really doesn’t matter. The search engines simply just don’t see them. Nothing to follow. That’s not to say you can’t add the “nofollow”. Just edit the feed template to format the feed output. It’s all in the readme.txt.

Thanks for your fast reply, Khanh.

if SE don’t see them - do you mean only links or all content from feeds?

i want the content in page or post, so as to add automated content… for SEO reasons. what’s the reason you’ve coded it so it’s not seen by SE?

140: khanh

Comment: Admin [ | Delete ]
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 @ 3:36 pm

Most search engines do not process Javascript generated content. KQF uses AJAX to fetch and output the feeds. SE do not index AJAXified (all) content very well, if at all. Google Reader & GMail use this technology.

I didn’t design the plugin so as not to be seen by SEs. I designed it to take advantage of AJAX for a better user experience. Unfortunately, AJAX and SE don’t mix.

:-) don’t get me wrong - I am grateful for a great plugin, I jsut wanted to draw your attention to a possible improvement, thats all.

Here is what I got from the other plugins author:

this plugin is behaving badly and inserting javascript into pages it
shouldn’t do, which in turn is conflicting with some other plugins
(Advanced Permalinks and any other plugin that reports errors in
Firebug). ….. It might also be worth
suggesting to the author to restrict the javascript files to the
plugin’s page only.

I was just trying to draw your attention to this. I already have a workaround: I deactivate your plugin, so the other plugin works, configure that one, then reactivate your plugin again, and all is well.

Please, do nto be offended, maybe I did not express myself very clearly. If you want you can jsut delete my 2 comments here, but I’d be very thankful if you looked into this issue.

regards
Ovidiu

I’m not sure what the author meant by “this plugin is behaving badly and inserting javascript into pages it shouldn’t do”.

KIN inserts JS into every admin page, because it is needed on every page. The JS is minimal. The JS only takes care of the button to open the notepad. The rest of the JS is for the notepad, which is in a child window, completely separate from the opener window.

I have just done a local install of the latest release of WP 2.2.3, with only Advanced Permalinks activated. The permalink option page does not work. The JS error I see in Firebug comes from the file: /wp-admin/options-permalink.php. I can’t test KIN with it if Advanced Permalinks already causes errors out of the box with the latest version of WP.

From reading the latest comments on the author’s site, it seems he has a few JS issues. On the other hand KIN has been stable for quite sometime now.

Thanks for clearing things up. Your comments earlier were a little brief, thus my curt reply.

Hi there, when I write something into the notepad and save, it just returns all fields with “n/a”. What have I done wrong? I’ve set the kin folder/files with the 0711/0644 permissions.
Also, nowhere I can delete the notes.
Thanks for any feedback… pls.

Only the user who created the note can access it, unless you are admin. Admin can access all notes. If you are admin and still can not access the note, then maybe KIN is not the right plugin for your WP setup.

I’m the author of Advanced Permalinks. First my apologies for sending trouble your way, that wasn’t intended. Ovidiu reported some JS problems that no one else was experiencing and after tracking it down I determined that the JS libraries in your plugin (specifically prototype) were clashing with the libraries in mine (jQuery). As the problem wasn’t caused by me, and not having much time, I suggested to Ovidiu to disable your plugin and maybe get in touch with you. At that point I didn’t know what your plugin did (hence the behaving badly comment). I certainly didn’t want to indirectly point the finger.

Having now looked at your plugin I’m not sure how to resolve the clash, other than temporarily disabling it. The WordPress team have stated that they are moving WordPress towards using jQuery, so at some point there could be similar clashes. If there was any way of not loading prototype on every page that would be ideal, or maybe using the wp_enqueue_script function.

I hope that’s cleared things up a bit! Again, sorry for the bother.

John

Had a read at the jQuery site. I’m glad to know that it isn’t my code that is to blame. Let’s get that straight.

You are right, there is a clash between jQuery and Prototype. The clash stems from the $-funtion. There is a simple remedy for this mentioned on the jQuery site.

If you make the changes suggested by the jQuery team, your plugin should happily co-exist with other JS code that use Prototype.

I noticed that the WP developers have included Prototype along with jQuery in WP 2.2.3. I hope the find a good library and stick with it!

I will change over to jQuery when Prototype is no longer included with WP.

Martino, Manele & David: My pleasure!

Travis: I noticed when I navigated to your site, there were PHP and Javascript errors. Make sure you have resolved these errors in your admin section, otherwise other Javascript code will halt. KCA relies on Javascript to perform most of it’s functions. I am guessing KCA is not working due to errors from other plugins.

Hello Khanh,
Excellent work. It is so handy. I just installed it and works great. Still I think there are a couple of bugs.
1. When I activate it, it reloads the page. So I would have to be careful so I do not oose data of my page. Maybe a conflict with the advanced-admin-menus that I use.
2. My timezone is +3 hours of GMT. The notepad cannot see this, although my wordpress settings are correct.
If you find a solution please let me know.
PS: I have wordpress 2.3 installed

A very impressive plugin! I especially like the integration of AJAX. So far, it’s the only RSS plugin that I’ve found with AJAX. (If anyone knows of other RSS plugins with AJAX, I’d love to know!)

I do have a couple of questions though. The plugin appears to mostly function under Wordpress 2.3, but there is at least one place on the dashboard where a non-existent categories table gets queried. Do you plan to release a new version for WP 2.3?

The other issue has to do with XML namespaces in the RSS feed. I see that the plugin parses the feed to generate a unique set of kqf property tags for each feed template. It works brilliantly until I try to use it with a tag that has an XML namespace. E.g., the RSS tag “dc:date” shows up as a kqf template property of “[dc.date]”, but if I try to use it, nothing shows up.

Also, I’d like to use kqf with del.icio.us to display links to the tags associated with a bookmark. del.icio.us RSS feeds encode this in hierarchical structures that yield a number of kqf template properties such as [taxo.topics_bag] and [topics_bag] but they don’t seem to do anything.

Probably, this is beyond the scope of what kqf was designed to do (and that’s fine), but I’d really like to use kqf because of AJAX. So, I’m wondering if there’s a way for me to specify my own XSLT stylesheet for the feed and have kqf use it. Or maybe there’s some other way that I haven’t thought of…

Thanks in advance for your help!

I found out about the database query error last night, so it has been fixed. As for the hierarchical structures, that was what kqf was originally designed to handle. Somewhere along the line, a bug was introduced, that disabled this feature. To cut a long story short, it’s been fixed. I will release the latest version soon. I was going to release kqf after a major interface overhaul, but that can wait till next time. I’m too busy at the moment.

Hi Khan,

I’ve tested KQF on one of my sites using the semiologic Pro CMS and an additional couple of plugins like wp-shoppingcart and popupgallery. I couldn’t get these and another plugin to function until I sadly had to disable your plugin.

Any idea how I can fix this issue?

Not sure how to make it work with podpress plugin, because I don’t use that plugin.

However, if the dashboard is empty, check the template and make sure the id=”" is set properly.

If your having plugin issues, you can also use SimplePie instead. SimplePie also does the same thing as KQF, just without a nice drop in style WP plugin way, but is compatible with wordpress.

The only thing I don’t like about KQF, is the Dashboard. I wish the author would include an option to disable the feed display in the wp-admin dashboard. I don’t like my dashboard modified, never have, especially if you have multiple feeds, that screen really gets messed up.

I have a couple of suggestions/questions, but first, hat tip on this script, it’s fantastic.

a. for your next update, any chance you would split the script allowing the rss feed w/o the intrusiuon to the dashboard? I realize your origional need for the script, but it is intrusive as I actually like my list of comments the way they were.

b. is there any way to automate the use of the themes CSS as the default?

c. I’m feeding mashed feeds through yahoo pipes and regardless of how I set the polling, I’m an hour behind.

Thanks again for a great script.

KQF has been tested to WP 2.3.2. Sometimes problems could arise due to the theme you are using. To know more about how to display feeds in posts etc, read the supplied readme.txt.

If you find there are plugin clashes, it is up to you to decide which ones to (de)activate.

You might find the solution in readme.txt.

Hi John

I know you probably don’t like this question but it will make the plug-in perfect for me.

1. Is the any way I can disable the rss feeds on the control panel?
I only use it for rss feeds in my posts, while the control panel is taking ages to load because I have lots of feeds configured.

2. When I add a feed channel to the side bar
its moving all the other sidebar add-ons to the middle of the page?

3. I have the WP-dTree plug-in installed which is stops working when I view a page with kqf feeds. do you about this problem?

BTW: do you have some embed code I can put in my site, so I can help promote your plug in?

Thanks

1. Deactivate any feeds you do not wish to see on the Dashboard. You can still use the feeds in your posts. I will add an option to choose default or custom Dashboard eventually.
2. No idea.
3. Sounds like Javascript library clash.

As for the embedded code, the plugin automatically adds a link at the bottom of the page. However, you are welcome to plug it any which way you want!

Finally, if you have exported any feeds from an earlier version of KQF, you might find it will not import into this version properly. That’s because the XML file might contain invalid XML characters. My bad.

To fix this, either you can:
1. add each feed again manually, or
2. edit the XML file and escape all invalid characters you find.

The 2 attributes that might contain invalid characters are xmlUrl & htmlUrl. The characters you are looking for will be:
- “<” becomes “<”
- “&” becomes “&”
- ‘”‘ becomes ‘"’ (if you are using quote(”) to delimit the attribute value)
- “‘” becomes “'” (if you are using apostrophe(’) to delimit the attribute value)

Import and export should work as advertised in the latest version.

Great plugin except for 2 minor inconveniences:

1) It seems to fail the xhtml validator (http://validator.w3.org).

It seems to generate about 11 errors.

Have I done something wrong? If not, is there any chance of the code being “tidied up”.

I tried fixing it myself, but I didn’t get far before stuffing the whole plugin (and re-installed the original).

2) The popup (mouseover) feed preview is dark Blue text on a lighter blue background (ie difficult to read when the blog background color is white).

I managed to fix it within the dtt.css, and modified the colors there (black text on a white background)… but since upgrading to WP 2.6, the colors have gone back to their original blue-on-blue… and I cannot change them to the more readable colors I had before.

Could I suggest a color section to the settings screen (so that anyone can change the popup feed “preview” colours.

Anyway, thanks for the great plugin. By looking at the code, it looks like a complex plugin… I would really struggle to code something like this.

Thanks for the kudos.

1) Could you send me a copy of the errors you speak of via the contact form?
2) dtt is actually a separate JavaScript tooltip application, so I did not have plans to include any configuration options for it in kqf itself. But, I might consider providing an option to edit dtt.css. In the mean time, I suggest you have a look at #dtt in dtt.css again. I can not replicate what you mentioned on my local install of WP 2.6. It works fine for me.

When placing the feed ID in my page I am getting 404 errors saying content isn’t found, yet there is a link to the feed showing up on the page I placed the code.

Also, I have looked all over my WP install for the files folder and the directories folder to change the permissions called for in the read me text file but I can’t locate them anywhere.

Do I need to create these folders in order for this to function properly. If I do need to create these folders where in the directory structure should i place them?
