One Interface, Please

Bill Humphries — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 01:00:05 +0000

To deal with the increasing number of compromised blogs, WordPress 2.6 will turn off XML-RPC and AtomPUB interfaces by default.

MarsEdit developer Daniel Jalkut points out that the WordPress developers are ignoring the root cause:

If your web service only provides one, first-class API through which all access flows, then you’ve only got one point to secure, you’re likely to have feature parity across interfaces, and the risk of marginalizing one interface is dramatically decreased.

iphone-viewport-meta 0.8.1

Bill Humphries — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 08:26:43 +0000

Updated version of the WordPress plugin for optimizing the display of blogs on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Now scrolls the location bar out of the way after page load, but does not conflict with links to named anchors on the page. From a suggestion by Donny Cruce.

iPhone Viewport Meta now on wordpress.org

I’ve taken advantage of wordpress.org’s hosting and subversion repository. So the iPhone Viewport Meta plugin for WordPress is now hosted there.

iphone-viewport-meta plugin 0.7

Bill Humphries — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 07:33:36 +0000

I’ve updated my iphone-viewport-meta plugin for WordPress. The changes include support for the iPod Touch:

Now uses device-width constant instead of a value in pixels.
Test for both iphone and ipod in user agent string.
Switch from semi-colon to comma as separator, per ADC documentation.

James Craig has been great with pointing out bugs and changes to the viewport format, so I’m now listing him as a co-author. Thanks, James.

iPhone Viewport Meta Plugin for WordPress

Bill Humphries — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 06:12:45 +0000

Get the plugin from wordpress.org.

Update 4: Plugin now hosted at wordpress.org.

Update 3: New version with support for viewport constants, and iPod Touch.

Update 2: James Craig points out that the ID attribute is not allowed in the META element, so I’ve updated the plugin.

Update: I should add what my aim is. Rather than creating a separate template for mobile, I want to have a theme that ‘does the right thing’ for iPhone and desktop browsers.

Some documentation:

Plugin tests user agent string.
- If it contains ‘iPhone’ then it adds to the document’s head.
- It also adds iPhone specific CSS rules. For that reason, you should call wp_head() in your theme file after you declare your default CSS files.
- These rules were written with Sandbox in mind. You will want to edit the CSS rules to suit your theme.
- You can force the viewport and CSS rules by adding forceiphone=y to the query string portion of a URL.
Adds a boolean function: weh_is_iPhone().
- Returns true if user agent string contains ‘iPhone’.
- You can call this function from your theme to add or turn off generation of markup.
- Most likely you’ll use it to turn off generation of sidebars.
