Recommended Tags Plugin for WordPress 2.3

Posted in: Features, Freeware, Screenshots, Software, Today's Chili, Web Sites

This article was written on September 25, 2007 by CyberNet.

Many of you might have noticed in our Daily Downloads today that WordPress 2.3 has been released. One of its most acclaimed features is the built-in tagging system, but to be honest it is a overly simple as it currently stands. It has no sort of near-duplicate detection when adding tags to your posts, which can quickly create a huge mess for anyone with a few dozen tags. In no time you could have tags such as “download” and “downloads” created all because you couldn’t remember which one you originally started with.

To solve that problem we were able to take the Click Tags plugin, and derive our own from it called Recommended Tags. It uses what I consider to be an intelligent system to recommend tags to you based upon the content of each article, and in the event that a specific tag is not recommended there is always a full list of all existing tags towards the bottom of the “Write a Post” page (as seen in the screenshot below). I setup options in the code so that you can easily enable or disable the displaying of both recommended tags and the entire list of tags.

How are the recommendations “intelligent?” For starters all HTML tags are stripped from the post so that linking to a Wikipedia article won’t necessarily recommend the “Wikipedia” tag that you’ve created (since URL’s are removed before matching up tags). Take a look at an additional two features (both enabled by default) that will help match tags:

  • Tags can be “exploded” so that the tag name is broken up into individual words. This will let a tag called “Windows Vista” be recommended even if you only mention “Vista” (note that it is without the “Windows”) in your article.
  • Common plural/past endings (in English) can be trimmed off of the end of tag names. That way a tag called “downloads” will still be recommended even if you only mention “download” in the article.

We will continue to add more features to make adding WordPress 2.3 tags even easier, so keep your eyes peeled for updates to Recommended Tags plugin!

Here’s a screenshot of the plugin in-action:

Nokia to shove Qualcomm MSM chipsets into future phones

Posted in: mobile broadband, MobileBroadband, nokia, qualcomm, symbian, Today's Chili

Nokia sure is doing a lot of hand shaking over in Barcelona, as shortly after it signed a gentlemanly agreement with Adobe, the Finnish handset maker has decided to equip some of its future devices with Qualcomm chipsets. Right now, details are somewhat vague, though we do know the two are hoping to “develop advanced UMTS mobile devices initially for North America.” It’s intended for these devices to be based on Symbian S60, and the chipsets involved will be the NFC-equipped Mobile Station Modem (MSM) line. Unfortunately, we aren’t apt to actually see a handset emerge from this collaboration until mid-2010, though these devices will be compatible with the forthcoming Symbian Foundation platform. Teamwork, shrouded in mystery — you guys sure know how to get attention.

Freescale’s i.MX515 netbook chip now supports Android and Xandros

Posted in: Android, Today's Chili, ubuntu

When we first laid eyes on Freescale’s five-core i.MX515 processor this January, we hoped it was all it claimed to be — promising an extremely cool machine with a low power budget and a price point that’ll take your next netbook down near the fabled $199 range. So far, so good: the Pegatron machines we peeped at CES fit the bill quite nicely, and now ZD Net is reporting that the Cortex-A8-based chip supports the HyperSpace instant-on OS, specially optimized 3G HSDA data modules from Option and Wavecom, and both Android and Xandros. Of course, none of this will be of any help to you if you’re married to Windows — but then again, even if you are we wouldn’t really blame you for wanting a little Linux on the side. Especially if it comes in a sweet package like this.

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS coming to US in April, nine others unveiled

Posted in: Today's Chili

Not to be outdone by Sony, Samsung, or FujiFilm, Canon has unveiled nearly a dozen digital cameras bound for the US ahead of March’s PMA. Of the ten, the big guy is that 10 megapixel SX1 IS we originally heard about last September, which sports 1080p Full HD movie mode and a built-in HDMI connector. Not too far off is the SX200, SD970 and the already-leaked SD960 / SD780, which all record 720p and also feature HDMI ports. The more rugged D10 boasts it’s freeze proof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, shockproof up to four feet, and can withstand depths up to 33 feet deep. As for the rest, well, they’ve certainly got more appealing price tags. Full rundown of the specs after the break.

Digital Foci’s Photo Book displays RAW files, at home and in the wild

Posted in: Today's Chili

As Marlin Perkins used to remind us on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, naturalists have observed as many variations of the common frameus digitalus in nature as they have mammals of the felidae family. We’ve seen digiframes that are actually routers, digiframes that scan your old non-digital snapshots, and (sadly) digiframes that come pre-infected with a Trojan Horse or two. Doing its part for biodiversity, Digital Foci is back with what it calls a “Photo Book” — another way of saying that they’ve put a digital photo frame in a “soft leather-like case,” making for “a convenient, elegant photo display.” The one interesting development here is support for RAW images — otherwise, this is just another $189 / 8-inch / 800 x 600 / 4GB digiframe. In addition to all that, this guy supports the usual bevy of file formats (JPEG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, MP3, AAC, WMA, MJPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 SP) and boasts 2.5 hours of battery life. Wake up, guys — there is some PR jazz for you after the break.

Sidekick 2009 caught strutting its stuff in the wild

Posted in: t-mobile, Today's Chili

We still don’t know whether to call it the Sidekick 2009 or the Sidekick Blade, but either way, T-Mobile’s upcoming hiptop has finally been caught on camera, looking just as it did in a survey from last month and later via render. Unfortunately, we can’t glean any specs from the image, but the aforementioned questionnaire listed 3G, a 3.2-inch WVGA display, 3.2 megapixel camera, microSD card slot, and GPS with turn-by-turn navigation. Alright, Danger, you’ve made us believers — now give us some official press shots to gaze upon lovingly.

I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner, but Canon has finally decided to enter the market for rugged point-and-shoot cameras. It’s kind of odd looking–I think it looks like a submarine–but according to the company the PowerShot D1 is freezeproof down to down to 14 …

The spring 2009 Canon A-series cameras are here! OK, so maybe it’s a little tough to get attention for Canon’s “easy and fun” compacts, but those interested in cost-effective shooting will be interested in the refreshed cameras that feature more megapixels and improved image processing in two of the three announced Tuesday.

Sure, the A-series cameras aren’t as ultracompact as the Digital Elphs, but if you don’t need something incredibly portable these new models seem capable. Without further ado, here are the details one the A2100 IS, A1100 IS, and A480.

PowerShot A2100 IS:

  • 12.1-megapixel resolution
  • 6X optical zoom lens with image stabilization
  • 3.0-inch LCD
  • Digic 4 processor
  • Smart Auto mode automatic scene recognition
  • Powered by two, AA batteries
  • Available in April at $249.99
  • Full specs
