WordPress 2.5.1 and Lightbox

Here’s how you can make Lightbox work in WordPress 2.5.1
You’ll need the Slimbox WordPress Plugin.
You’ll also need to edit the /wp-includes/post-template.php file:

Somewhere near line 390, replace

return “<a href=’$url’ title=’$post_title’>$link_text</a>”;

with this:

//mafro lightbox mod
list($url, $w, $h) = wp_get_attachment_image_src($id, “full”, $icon);
return “<a href=’$url’ title=’$post_title’ rel=’lightbox[roadtrip]’>$link_text</a>”;

I found that WordPress PHP adjustment in a comment made by Mauro in WP […]

Run You Car On Water?

Did you see the headlines in the Philippine Daily Inquirer about oil firms readying us for a P65/liter of gasoline price level? Geez. I still remember the time when one liter of gas cost less than P40. Then it went up, sometimes going up by P1.00 each day.
You know what they say about necessity being […]

Blogging From Home

Chanced upon Janette Toral’s Blogging From Home, a “work-in-progress journal of Janette Toral’s upcoming book patterned after her Blogging 101 Online Workshop.”
I found out about this after revisiting Google Reader, because I’m checking out FriendFeed… again.
I’ll probably look closely into re-enabling Disqus, because there may be considerable benefits of not always trying to […]

WordPress Sitemap Plugin

Updated the Sitemap Generator Plugin for WordPress (now version 3.14). It’s a good thing the WordPress plugin menu alerted me that there is a new version of the Dagon Design sitemap generator.
When I visited another site that uses the old plugin, I was surprised to find that the sitemap page was blank. Now that I’ve […]

Food Trip Tayo

Food Trip Tayo is a new food blog launched by PrudenceMadness.
Her first entry, Bake & Churn’s Affordable Ice Cream Cake, makes me want to head on over to SM and search for that stall. What did it for me? I dunno… perhaps it’s the large photos Dr. Tess features in her newest blog.
Warning: If you […]

El Filibusterismo Study Notes

It’s time to re-do the El Filibusterismo Study Notes Online before classes start this June. There have been changes, no doubt, over the years (even if what hasn’t changed is the difficulty we face with Tagalog). Hopefully, more people will enjoy reading Jose Rizal’s masterpiece of a novel.
