As you know, Symbian UIQ3 does not allow us to access its system folders which will inform "Protected folder" when we try to open them. But UIQ3 is now hacked! We can access or do anything with those system folders, just using a small program but it's really great. That is CapsSwitch, the must have app/program if you want to access your UIQ3 phone system. A big thanks to the SWmail - a modder/hacker for UIQ3 community.

Installation:
- Download archive with the program here
- Install CapsSwitch. No need to sign.

Using this program is very easy, everytime you want to access system folders on your phone, just run CapsSwitch and then tap Switch to make the capabilities OFF. This means CapsSwitch will turn the protection off so you can read/write the file system normally.

This program was introduced in a previous post (you can read it here) now it has just been updated to version 0.94 beta with new changelog:

• Displaying allocation in the text
• Languages of the Preferences dialog: Polish, Finnish, Bulgarian
• Changed the formatting elements in the Preferences dialog
• Further improvement of stability

Here are Statusbar Icons for UIQ3 phones that I've collected from the Internet. Just click on each image bellow to download and put extracted content to D:\Resource and then restart the phone. That's all!

Don't worry if you can't find folder "Resource" on your memory card, just make a new folder with the name "Resource".

Have you seen another beautiful status yet ? Please let me know so that I can add them here. Don't forget to stay tuned with next part. Thank you!

After reading the article “Exclude your own visits in Google Analytics for WordPress blogs” on JohnTP.com,
I think that is very useful trick to exclude your own visits in Google Analytics when you access your WordPress blogs, using the code bellow to do that:

<?php if (!$user_ID) { ?> your Google Analytics code here <?php } ?>

But the code is not pretty well for blogs with enabled user registration because using $user_ID variable will exclude all visitors who has already been a member. You know that we are going to exclude tracking for only the administrator whose username is "admin" and level is 10 so that we need to have a better condition to detect which type of currently logged in user. I have an improvement for the code here, place it to your footer.php :

1
2
3
4

<?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
if ($current_user->user_level != 10 && $current_user->user_login != 'admin') { ?>
your Google Analytics code here
<?php } ?>

This code is currently working well on my blog. I hope it will help you to exclude your own visits in Google Analytics exactly!

PS: Note that you can use any web statistics code you like (statcounter for example), not just for Google Analytics.

Similar to Lightbox 2, WP-Lytebox is a WordPress plugin which uses Lytebox to add a lightbox functionality to images as well as HTML content such as web pages. This plugin will automatically group all the images links in your post content into a gallery with next and previous links. Just download and install it, you are done!

Installation:

1. Download plugin here.
2. Upload extracted content to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder, and activate it.
3. That all!

Note that Lytebox can also be configured via "lytebox.js" if you wish.

Auto-hyperlink URLs - written by Scott Reilly - is a plugin that can transform text URLs in your post content and comment text to the URL they reference. You don't need to hyperlink already hyperlinked URLs. The plugin also improves upon WordPress’s default make_clickable function, along with adding some configuration options (such as link truncation).

This plugin will recognize any protocol-specified URI (http|https|ftp|news)://, etc, as well as e-mail addresses. It also adds the new ability to recognize Class B domain references (i.e. “somesite.net” where not just those prepended with “www.”) as valid links (i.e. “wordpress.org” would now get auto-hyperlinked).

Normally, if you want to moderate your blog comments, most of us usually login to WordPress Admin to check for any new comments awaiting to be moderated. Now you don't have to do that because there is a plugin can help you to view and moderate your blog comments directly from your desktop.

That plugin is Moderator - written by Daniel Dura. It's not only a WP plugin but also an application that notifies whenever there is a new comment submitted on your blog, something similar to Yahoo Messenger or Gtalk.

Plugin Features:

• Viewing unmoderated comments.
• Dock and system tray notifications of the number of unmoderated comments.
• Accept, delete, and spam comments from within the desktop client.
• Close application window, or minimize it to the system tray while running.
• Shows the Gravatar icons for the user who posted the comment.

Requirements

Moderator currently requires version 2.6+ of WordPress be installed. Also, you will need Adobe AIR 1.1, which runs on Mac, Windows, and is currently in beta on Linux.

Installation

1. Download the current plugin bundle from here. (moderator_plugin.zip | 72KB)
2. Unzip the contents of the archive and place them in your WordPress install directory under {wordpress install}/wp-content/plugins. You should now have a directory called ‘moderator’ in the plugins folder.
3. Login to your administration panel, and go to the Plugins page. Activate the Moderator plugin by clicking on the ‘Activate’ link in the entry for this plugin.
4. Now that the plugin is activated, go to the Settings tab and select the Moderator admin page. Follow the instructions on that page to install the desktop client.

I think this is a very useful plugin that you can start using to make your comment moderation easily!

Yesterday, WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate 1 (RC 1) has just been released by WordPress.org. This version comes with new interface and new icon set. Bellow is the quote from WordPress.org Blog:

With the release of RC1, we’re in the final leg of development before the release of 2.7.  280 commits since beta 3 have polished the new admin UI (including new menu icons created by the winners of our icon design contest) and fixed all known blocker bugs.

We think RC1 is ready for everyone to try out.  Please download RC1 and help us make the final release the best it can be.  As always, back up your blog before upgrading.
