AFdN Updates

I downloaded InkableType so I could write blog posts using ink. However, I kept getting an error whenever I tried to post it. I turned on Ethereal to see exactly what error was being passed along:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
  <fault>
    <value>
      <struct>
        <member>
          <name>faultCode</name>
          <value><int>500</int></value>
        </member>
        <member>
          <name>faultString</name>
          <value><string>Could not write file 734e.gif</string></value>
        </member>
      </struct>
    </value>
  </fault>
</methodResponse> 

A quick Google search turned up a known bug and quick fix:

1. Open /wp-includes/functions-post.php
2. Find $new_file = $uploads[‘path’] . “/$filename”; and replace with $new_file = $upload[‘path’] . “/$filename”; (Note the lack of “s” on $upload)
3. Find return array(‘file’ => $new_file, ‘url’ => $url); and replace with return array(‘file’ => $new_file, ‘url’ => $url, ‘error’ => false);

Simple as that! WP still doesn’t return a valid response, although it looks like it does. However, the post is still made successfully, ergo you can safely ignore the invalid response.

Update: Truncated filename so that IE would display Nav Bar

I’ve released an update to my WordPress Error page, bringing it to version 0.82. I would call this a mandatory upgrade as it fixes some really serious issues (nothing fatal, just nothing good).

On the home front (i.e. my blog), I’ve completely revamped the way blog thumbnails are handled and displayed. You can now also click on the image to be taken to original image on Flickr.

I finally got around to updating the code. I’ve made it slightly more stable and consolidated the code. Enjoy!
