Sometimes when we are troubleshooting problems it is useful to know a little bit more information about a users setup. Getting them to run a phpinfo() is one way to do this as it will give you pages and pages of the way the user has php setup on their host. However, running this command is not always easy for some users so having come across this very recently I figured why not stick with what they know and put a little b2evolution plugin together that lists out the extensions that PHP currently knows about.

At this point in time all this plugin does is list out the extensions as this is all I needed at the time. It wouldn't be too hard to add other information if there is a need so leave a comment if there is anything else that you would like to know.

Twitterlution update for b2evolution 2.4.x users

There is a lot going on in the b2evolution world at the moment what with the release of b2evo 3.2.0-beta "Woodland Hills" & b2evo 2.4.7-stable "Tilman". You should definitely check these releases out and consider upgrading when 3.2.0 comes out of beta as it looks like a pretty cool update.

One of the really cool things about b2evo version 3.2.0 is that the Twitterlution plugin is now included by default. This means that b2evo users get Twitter integration right out of the box. When the plugin was included a few updates were made to improve the plugin along with integrating it with some of the new 3.2.0 features like per blog settings. Unfortunately due to using these new features the plugin is no longer compatible with the 2.4.x versions of b2evo. I have therefore take the improvements and included them in a 2.4.x compatible version of the plugin for those who can't or don't want to upgrade their blogs to the latest version of b2evo.

For those of you using a 2.4.x version of b2evo go get the plugin from the Twitterlution plugin page and for those using the latest 3.2.0 use the plugin that is included by default.

Best,

In the spirit of doing one thing and doing it well - this plugin allows you to add the Google Webmaster verify meta tag to the <head></head> of your skin. Nothing more, nothing less :D

Settings

Meta Tag Name: This is the name of the meta tag as specified on the "Verify a Site" page in Google Webmaster. This defaults to 'verify-v1' as this is what Google always calls it but make sure any way and change it if it is different.

Meta Tag Content: The content of the meta tag as specified on the "Verify a Site" page in Google Webmaster. This will be the random letters between the quotes.

Twitterlution

Please note: that Twitter have recently changed the way authentication is performed and until an update to this plugin is ready, the current version will not post your updates to Twitter

This plugin posts updates to your Twitter account every time you post an entry to your blog. The text that is posted to your twitter account is configurable and will include the title of your blog post along with a link directly to the post. An optional hashtag of #b2p is also included which stands for b2evo post.

Please note: If you are using b2Evolution version 3.2.0-beta or above, this plugin is now included by default so you don't need to download it from here. It is recommended that you use the version included with the 3.2.0+ version as this is able to make use of the new per blog settings feature of b2evolution 3.2.0-beta.

However, if you are still running a 2.4.x version of b2evolution and you want to update twitter when you post to your blog then this is the place for you. The current version is 0.5 and this is the same as the version released with b2evolution 3.2.0 but without the new features that come with 3.2.0. The name of the plugin has been changed to twitter_plugin to maintain compatibility with the new one so you will have to uninstall and remove the old plugin (_twitterlution.plugin.php) before you install this one if you had a previous version installed.

A big thank you goes to the b2evo developers that added improvements to the code when it was added to b2evolution version 3.2.0.
