Support stop SOPA-PIPA movement

Stop censorship

Stop censorship

What amazing things are going! We are so different, large and small, thin and thick, young and old, we are so different, but all of us come together to stop SOPA-PIPA. No censorship in Internet! I got this email from fightforthefuture.org team and share it with you:
“Google launched a petition. Wikipedia voted to shut itself off. Senators’ websites went down just from the sheer surge of voters trying to write them. NYC and SF geeks had protests that packed city blocks.
You made history today: nothing like this has ever happened before. Tech companies and users teamed up. Tens of millions of people who make the internet what it is joined together to defend their freedoms. The free network defended itself. Whatever you call it, the bottom line is clear: from today forward, it will be much harder to mess up the internet.
The really crazy part? We might even win.
Approaching Monday’s crucial Senate vote there are now 35 Senators publicly opposing PIPA. Last week there were 5. And it just takes just 41 solid “no” votes to permanently stall PIPA (and SOPA) in the Senate. What seemed like miles away a few weeks ago is now within reach.
But don’t trust predictions. The forces behind SOPA & PIPA (mostly movie companies) can make small changes to these bills until they know they have the votes to pass. Members of Congress know SOPA & PIPA are unpopular, but they don’t understand why–so they’re easily duped by superficial changes.
The Senate returns next week, and the next few days are critical.

Internet Explorer and JavaScript copyright problem

IE, JavaScript and copyright

IE, JavaScript and copyright

After publishing recent update for User Role Editor plugin (version 3.3.) I got a couple of messages about WordPress crash after updating of plugin. That was very strange as for about 2,000 downloads for that moment we have only 2 installations with such problem.

The reason was simple. Did you guess already?
Yes, that was the former and noisy for almost every web developer browsers compatibility issue. There are no any problem with FireFox and Google Chrome. The only Internet Explorer (I tested versions from 6.0 to 8.0) automatically replaces ‘&copy’ part in the ‘&copy_from_user_role’ URL parameter name inside JavaScript code to the copyright © sign. That’s invalid role name inserted into WordPress database and the whole user roles and capabilities list crashes as a result. To isolate this problem I should use other name for this URL parameter – user_role_copy_from.
Wow!!! It started work as expected. Thank you, darling Microsoft.

Let me leave you for two weeks. I have a long waited and deserved vacation for that period.

Version 3.2 of “User Role Editor” WordPress plugin is near to its release. I invite you to participate in testing cycle.

I tested it at my developing environment, for single site and multi-site WordPress installations. Be sure however, that you have fresh backup copy of your WordPress database before setup this early version on the production site.
What’s new in version 3.2?
– According to suggestions of multi-site WordPress networks owners “User Role Editor” will automatically duplicate roles from the main blog to every new created blog. Thus, there is not necessary to copy every custom added, modified role from the main blog to the new created one manually.

Security Warning From WordPress Team

Security Warning From WordPress Team

Security Warning


Hello, dear readers!
Let me to spread the word of WordPress team in case you don’t read the WordPress development blog. June 21th, 2011, Matt Mullenweg published at WordPress development blog post with “Reset Password” title. You can read full copy below or visit its original page.

“Earlier today the WordPress team noticed suspicious commits to several popular plugins (AddThis, WPtouch, and W3 Total Cache) containing cleverly disguised backdoors. We determined the commits were not from the authors, rolled them back, pushed updates to the plugins, and shut down access to the plugin repository while we looked for anything else unsavory.

NetBeans IDE 7.0 Release Candidate 2 for PHP

Netbeans IDE 70 RC2 for PHP

Netbeans IDE 70 RC2 for PHP

08 Apr 2011 NetBeans.org announced that NetBeans IDE 7.0 Release Candidate 2 is available for download. The last testing before the final release (it is planned for April) started. We talked about NetBeans IDE 7.0 here an ShinePHP.com already (check NetBeans posts list). I should make a little correction. I supposed in previous posts that Java 7 is required to install NetBeans IDE 7.0 for PHP. I was wrong. Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 Update 24 or later is required for that actually. To be more exact, the PHP NetBeans bundle requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 only to be installed and run.
NetBeans IDE 7.0 for PHP installation process for Linux users was described in details here already. It is straightforward and quite simple.
Let’s repeat in short, just to show a process screenshots for the new Release Candidate 2 version:
