BabyGot.. Certainly sounds doable. I may look into this myself as I was wanting some way to seperate them out neatly myself & you appear to have hit the spot.

Only question is that it seems more of a part-theme than plugin?

Don’t suppose that matters ??

zigx: I’m not sure how much PHP/etc. you understand but the two things you’re looking for are $_GET[”] vars and the str_replace() function.

Basically, before the feed is sent (find this in the source), include the line:

$rss = str_replace(“%name%”, $_GET[‘name’], $rss);

Where $rss is the variable currently holding the rss feed data. Anywhere that %name% appears it will be replaced with the ?name=xxxx content on the request URL.

More information on str_replace()

Hope that helps.

cfmack: Spikes like this suggest an attack of some sort, especially the fact that it always reaches past the limit set. Normal users would not be doing this – I’d focus on identifying heavy users from logs and blocking appropriately.

On the WordPress front I’ve developed a WordPress Throttling Plugin/API which may possibly help with some of this. The questions are really how much of the output are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of saving bandwidth/connections.

At present for example it’s possible to use the throttle to temporarily replace images with links, or to redirect visitors to Coral Cache CDN to remove load off the server. It would possibly even be possible to simply do this with a lot of site content (i.e. keep the main URL local, fetch images from cache).

Another poster recently was asking about restricting multiple repetitive connections from a single IP/etc. – again, the possibility to redirect “bad behaving” clients off your server and through the cache may be beneficial?

Ebonmuse: I’ve recently developed a general Throttle API for WordPress which monitors the number of hits received over a given period of time.

Currently I’ve created “modules” which use this information to redirect visitors to Coral Cache and secondly to remove images from post bodies.

If you are still having the problems mentioned & want a plugin solution, I can feasibly knock together a module to do this as part of the Throttle system. Theoretically I imagine simply keeping a rotating list of x IPs and counting numbers received from each over time.

Having said this, server solutions are naturally better if you’re able to do this.

Ah. Its’s is_admin() that checks for that. Doesn’t appear to be documented anywhere, but works.

Update Manager v1.8 is now available.

Numerous little bug fixes and it finds more plugins with better searching, etc. than earlier versions.

v1.6 Mmmm. Strong this source is.

Download v1.5 Here

More information available on the project’s pages.

The release fixes some of the connection bugs present in earlier versions, provides debugging information when things go wrong & features a few other small improvements to the internals.

Almost ready for an official/stable release.
Give it a go & let’s hear the feedback!

Download v1.4 Here

Nearly stable… honest.

Methods of protecting copyright (e.g. keeping legally recorded copies) are not in fact adding copyright, but rather improving your ability to defend it in court.

Marking documents with the copyright symbol is simply a way of making the copyright which exists explicit – it has no effect on how the document should be treated.

mastermind: Sounds like an good project. I’m not sure if you’ve included this ability already, but I’ve just developed a plugin which provides plugin update information using wp-plugins.net to provide the data.

Feel free to make use of the code if you want to add these features to your own system. From what you’ve said it sounds as though with this it would provide a complete upgrade ability?

Updated v1.2 Now Available

After a quick bug fix to sort some initial issues picked up by people, version 1.1 is now available for download. In hindsight being “Very Beta” it doesn’t make sense to start at 1.0, but it was late & there’s not a lot I can do about that now. Version 2.0 will be the one to watch. Probably.

Fair point, although personally I’ve always kept wp-plugins up to date in preference to posting on these forums. One very good reason for doing that is that plugin data from the site is heavily syndicated. It’s also used as a basis for a few plugin-review sites that I’ve seen.

I’m pulling these numbers out of my behind, but generally speaking posting / updating a plugin on wp-plugins.net results in an increase of >100 visitors & downloads.

Unfortunately the wp-plugins site itself doesn’t seem to be very actively maintained. I’d rather there was some DB connected more intimately with www.remarpro.com itself but until that happens I’ll make do with what there is!
