Question for anyone who still follows the development for this potentially useful yet somewhat abandoned plugin…

Thanks to the updated version and replacing the class-IXR file… and a bit of mild tinkering to smooth out a bit of remaining errors… I finally have the sync function talking with the LJ servers. After I’m done, I think I’ll release a better-documented “fixed” version, but in the meantime, I’m getting the following error returned in my entry tags:

“302 : Client error: Can’t edit post from requested journal”

Does this mean that the XMLRPC feature is restricted to paid LJ accounts? Everything else matches up — the extras box even logs in and pulls up my icons.

Permalink settings problem? Maybe Apache isn’t configured to allow for rewrites? (mostly guesses)

I’m trying to hide categories (everywhere, and from everyone) by means of a cookie, and if I figure out how, I’ll let you know.

I was just about to waste my time, trying to code this with identical logic. Thank you, Alex King!

Less work for me!

I’m making a mini-wrapper for SmartyPants-PHP. It may still have a few bugs, but I’m double-checking, and should have something to post, soon.

Thanks for doing the research for me, InfoCynic. Yeah, it looks like the practice is now obsolete. I did say that it could be, if you recall. ?? I made the plugin for the same reason some of us still drive old VW bugs. If you read through the links you quoted, you’ll also note that it’s heavily tolerated, as well. As our language evolves, so do our style rules, it would seem.

I still use double-spaces because it lets me skim sentences more easily when I’m looking through large amounts of text.

First PHP script, first plugin. Whee!

APA, MLA, and Chicago. Every one of my English teachers, since I learned to type (’bout 8th grade) have also enforced this. Could be that particular generation of teachers grew up on typewriters that outputted “rivers.” Maybe my pre-internet style guides are obsolete (the copies I have at my desk mention it). I was only an English minor back in college and that was some time ago — I may be a little rusty. I may also be a little old. Regardless, it may be obsolete formatting now, but a little whitespace never killed anyone.

For anyone interested, I just finished the plugin: https://www.200found.com/archives/2005/03/16/double-space-it/

I’m just wondering if someone hasn’t beaten me to the punch. If not, I guess I’ll be the first. How odd that so few people seem to forget what our collegiate style manuals tell us. :-\ I’ll post again when the plugin’s done.

Thank you Satoshi. HTML is rendered with two spaces as one, but the 2 spaces are still there even though it isn’t rendered. I should be able to grok for the 2 spaces in the post data and replace them with a non-breaking space entity ( ) and a space, effectively hacking in a double-space after my sentences, right? (This is also legal XHTML, as far as I can tell.)

P.S., I hate double-spaces in my line-height. I’m a 1.5-space kind of guy.
