Testing Twitter OAuth for ExpressionEngine
I just cobbled together a rough module that allows users to login with their twitter-account to leave comments in ExpressionEngine. Right now it does just that, nothing more.
One catch is that you don’t have access to the email-address of a twitter user so you have to allow commenting without it and notifications of follow-up comments are also a no-go right now.
I would appreciate to get some test comments here to see if there are any issues with the effort so far.
UPDATE: I’ve converted the module into an extension/plugin-combo to add more features. Twitter users may now leave their email-addresses and tweet about the comment. Testing continues…

Text-indent nested category list
I once had the problem that I needed to create a SAEF for a weblog which has three category groups. When using the standard {category_menu}{/category_menu} tag-pair all groups are merged into one which was not appropriate because the category groups did not belong together thematically.
Hence I hardcoded the category menus to show up in three separate select-lists.
However one category group had several levels of subcategories and I wanted to show them properly nested like in the list below:

Howto: Hack the Metaweblog API to work with Simple Tags
Recently I was approached by Jake Mauer who uses Windows Live Writer in combination with ExpressionEngine’s Metaweblog API Module (MWAM) to update his weblog.
He’s using Simple Tags and setup Live Writer’s keywords-field to populate his tag-field in ExpressionEngine but noticed that the entries don’t show up in the tag-list when a tag is clicked.
Due to the complete lack of extension hooks in the MWAM posting, updating or deleting entries in Live Writer will not be noticed by Simple Tags. Hence the tag-table won’t be up-to-date unless you manually update the entries directly in the Control Panel or rebuild your index under Modules > Simple Tag.
While I normally don’t advocate hacks to core-files, sometimes there’s no alternative to make things work.

So finally HeidiSQL 4.0 has been officially released. I’ve been using the beta for some time and 3.2 before and before that its predecessor MySQL Front (long story).
This has been my favourite MySQL graphical frontend for ages and I’m still absolutely happy with it.
