State of the Sakura at Respect Sakura

State of the Sakura

Posted by Jaymz, November 12th, 2007 in Everything/Nothing, Respect Sakura, Slice of Life, Tech

So I took the opportunity to update the site’s backend again over the weekend. While I was at it, I implemented a couple of new things. First of all, registration’s back but with a Captcha plugin now (but registration is still not required for comments, nor is the captcha system implemented for that - I fucking hate those things the same as anybody). I’ve also added Gravatar support, with the addition of giving non-Gravatar’d folk a randomized Fate / stay night avatar, instead.

I also started work on those forums I promised everyone, but unfortunately.. bbPress handles like a shopping cart with twisted wheels, so unless I can un-fuck bbPress to the point where it’s of some kind of use, or find some better forum solution that can integrate into Wordpress somehow, it’s not going to go anywhere.

So.. that, and playing through Jade Empire, is pretty much how I spent my weekend. How was yours?

There’s a couple of forums that integrate with Wordpress actually. Vanilla (http://getvanilla.com/) is one.. there’s a guide on integrating it with Wordpress here: http://lussumo.com/docs/doku.php?id=vanilla:integration:wordpress though it seems like a bit of messing with source code, so it might be a nice idea to make a copy of your Wordpress directory and do it on that instead of trying to integrate it into the live copy. It’s apparently a little more mature than bbPress too. I’ve got some experience with PHP, so if you need any help with that let me know.

Also, my Gravatar doesn’t seem to work here, yet it works on my own blog.

About

Hello and welcome to Respect Sakura, yet another shitty blog under the premise of being an animu blog, when it's really just about Jaymz's tech leanings, spending habits and crack-inspired ramblings on topics noone cares about. Oh, and that other guy posts stuff sometimes, too.

Please be warned that this site may contain strong language, adult themes, and sexual discussion about characters that may appear underage but are really over 18, and anything that may look or sound illegal really isn't, you just imagined it because your mind is sick and twisted, and it ain't my fault so don't you dare blame that shit on me son.
