Lorem Ipsum Post Generator WordPress Plugin
Posted by jon on Aug 30, 2009
I’m constantly working with test blogs for IntenseDebate. Often, I need new posts and/or comments to give me some data to play with while testing new features, debugging old ones, or just to show something off. Instead of creating endless posts and comments of “testing 123″ and “another random test post”, I decided to throw together a quick WordPress plugin that will generate the posts for me using Lorem Ipsum text. It has a couple options, mainly the number of posts to create, a min and max number of paragraphs per post, and a min and max number of comments per post. I find it really useful for generating some test content quickly. I’ve posted a screenshot below. It’s nothing beautiful, but I thought it might be useful to someone else out there. I’ve posted the plugin here if you want to check it out.
Ubiquity: PHP function lookup
Posted by jon on Sep 22, 2008
So I guess I’m getting into this Ubiquity thing a bit. I’ve created another one to lookup php functions on php.net. Simply subscribe to the command here to add it to your command list.
Once you’ve got the command installed you can lookup PHP functions by simply opening Ubiquity (CTRL+SPACE) and typing “php [function]“. This one was pretty simple to do, but very useful already. I look up syntax for PHP functions several times a day and saving my “Google step” is really nice.
Let me know what you think.
