But it’s a good story! I’ll tell all the people at the parties! They’ll be engrossed! It’ll be awesome! Just as much as the “I’m blogging this” t-shirts!

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn is out and I picked up a copy from my local dealer. Since I’m running Parallels Desktop on my Mac it’s a simple task to create a new instance of Parallels along with a new Virtual Machine (I usually use “Debian”) and go ahead with the install. Except during my install it couldn’t detect my cd-rom drive and so the install halted. Thanks to some tips I found that the solution is to simply change the OS Type to Solaris and the OS Version to Solaris 10. Once it’s installed change it back to “Debian” or “Other Linux Kernel 2.6″.

Tim has made some wicked wordpress themes and details how to install plogger on wordpress. I got it up and running without too much trouble. The process is:

• Download plogger.
• Unzip it into your wordpress folder under something meaningful like /plogger or /gallery and follow the installation instructions in the readme.
• Grab a copy of the plogger wordpress plugin and put it in your Wordpress plugins directory.
• Log into Wordpress and enable the plugin, then edit its options. The table prefix is “_plogger”.
• Edit the plogger index.php file and paste the following into it:
  <?php require(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
  require(“gallery.php”); ?>
  <?php get_header(); ?>
  <div class=”content”>
  <?php the_gallery_head(); ?>
  <?php the_gallery(); ?>
  </div><?php get_sidebar(); ?>
  <?php get_footer(); ?>

That’s it!

FCKeditor doesn’t insert a <!–break–> when clicking on “pagebreak” – it gives some other code which doesn’t help us – which means we can’t split our content into a “read more.” Luckily there’s a fix! To get the correct page breaking code you’ll need to install this fckeditor plugin which unzips into the FCKeditor plugins folder, then add ‘DrupalBreak’ into your fckeditor.config.js and remove ‘PageBreak’ in the relevant places.

Browsers usually cache .js files so you’ll need to either empty your cache or type in the full url to fckeditor.config.js and refresh the page to make sure you’re getting the changes. Now Deshun can split her pages!
