NP_NotifyMe Plugin And Addthis.com
Feb
09
On our blogs, if we want the readers to subcribe to be notified for new posts, NP_NotifyMe plugin is the one we use. It's very easy to use. Just install the plugin and edit a few lines in the options: caption label = Subscribe, email address = our email address.
Now go to the skin in the admin area and place the <%NotifyMe%> in there.
For comments, we can place <%NotifyMe(itemsub)%> in the item comments area of the skin
These days we see the icon bookmark on most of the webpages, and the bookmark button comes from Addthis.com all we need to do is the get the code for the button and paste it in our skin part, either main or item. We did both, main index and item pages along with our NotifyMe plugin codes.
These 2 are simple to use, but extremely useful for Nucleuscms blogs.
Cheers,

Powerpoint For NucleusCMS
Feb
09
Sometimes we have some powerpoint presentations we received or made that we want to place it on our blogs. There is a program called Authorpoint lite that will convert a powerpoint presentation to flash so we can place them on our blogs. To us, if the presentation are just pictures, then we can just use jalbum to display the images with music embeded. If the presentation has animation, then authorpoint is the best. If we just want to convert powerpoint to swf flash files, then we use OpenOffice. We use authorpoint for our powerpoint conversion.
We must have MS powerpoint 2000 or newer for the authorpoint to work (97 doesn't work), install the authorpoint and it will be embeded in the powerpoint software interface. Open a presentation .pps file with music. Some presentation, authorpoint could embed the music to the flash, but some, we need to extract the music file and embed into the html file later. In this presentation, we had to extract the music from the presentation. To extract the music file from the pps file, we just need to save the presentation to html format from powerpoint.
save all files in a folder, in this folder, there will be...

NP_ShadowBox.zip
Feb

Due to "Shadowbox license expressly prohibits such redistribution" the plugin download is no longer available. Sorry. The only way to have this plugin is for you to create one for yourself and I'll write up the procedure when I have time... soon!!!

Multiple Blogs In Nucleus CMS
Jan
08
There are 2 ways have multiple blogs.
1. Conventional ways like other CMS software is to install a separate directory for each blog on our server. The only difference is that we have to install plugins for each blog separately also.
2. Taking advantage of the Nucleus CMS system, we can create blogs within the original blog. Using 1 set of plugins for all blogs, 1 skin directory and media... to be short, 1 single directory for the system.
Assuming we installed our first blog successfully and can login to the admin area.
There are 2 ways to create the new weblog.
1. From the Nucleus management
2. From the shortcut "New Weblog" on the side bar. Both will come up with the same screen.
Enter everything and click create, we will have the confirmation 2 blogs in the admin home.
If we use the default skin-based we should see our blog displays 2 blogs
If we want to add another blog, then again back to admin, click New Weblog
Repeat all the steps then we now have 3 blogs.
Again, we will see 3 blogs on our final website.
With this type of set up, we need to customize our RSS also. All blogs should be set up and...

NP_FancierURL2 Plugin
Dec
26
What does FancierURL2 do? It converts the url like this
to this. It actually make it easier to reference a url within a blog and it does look nicer and cleaner.
In our blog that has many blogs built in, we can just type "http://ltooz.com/ltooz341/blog/NUCLEUSCMS" and it would go straight to the blog, which is nice because we don't have to remember all the characters if we don't have FancierULR2.
First we need to download the FancierURL2_v06.zip file and extract it, it contains 2 files, ".htaccess" and "NP_FancierURL2.php"
Upload the ".htaccess" to the root directory = nucleus directory = l2spage
Upload the "NP_FancierURL2.php" to the plugin directory like all other plugins.
Install the plugin
Since the plugin must be on the top page of all plugins, the best is to install this plugin as soon as we set up our blog with NucleusCMS. Now, since it's on the bottom, we have to move it all the way to the top, by clicking "move up" . Another way is to uninstall all plugins except this one and re-install them, which ever is faster for you.
When it's totally to the top, then we need to edit options. We don't want to display time/hour/days and we use UTF-8 in case...

NP_BlogIE 0.71 Plugin
Dec
25
We do need to back up our blogs once in a while if we don't want to loose all the article we wrote if somehow our website is gone and we need to restore our blogs. Nucleus CMS does provide Block Backup, but this one has database and the name of the absolute path must be the same as the backed up one. NP_BlogIE backs up blogs, but only the contents which are portable to any other blogs. We can back up the contents of blog A and import it to blog B, all categories and items will be transferable.
Click Admin or blogie on the side panel, select the blog to be backed up (export), check all the boxes with comments and click export. A pop up window will come up with a generic blogbackup.xml file to save.
Save the file and if we use the firefox then open the content to find the file to rename to a specific name since all blogie will have the same name blogbackup.xml
The good thing about this blogie is that we can import (restore) to any blog we want and it will automatically restore all items in all categories. We have a trial Nucleus...

WMA
Dec
24
Click insert/embeded media icon, select the type "windows Media" and enter the url for the wma file, the size of the player.
Click advanced tab to select autoplay or NOT
Now we have the wmplayer size 200x100 pixel. Although the autostart is unchecked but tinymce actually put the value="false" which doesn't actually turn off the autostart. The correct one that we found to actually turn off the autostart is value="0", so we need to go to html mode to edit the code.

Mp3 Player

NP_FlashMP3 Plugin
This is a ver nice plugin for playing mp3 format files which most people would use these days. The installation is pretty straight forward and extremely easy to use. Follow the instruction on the plugin page which requires the dewplayer. Download the dewplayer for future use with playlist. All the options to play mp3 is in the plugin page, We haven't use all except single mp3 player. Make sure the NP_FlashMP3 is installed.
dewplayers scripts inside the media folder.
Load an mp3 song
(@)<%FlashMP3(1/20091224-Princess Princess.mp3)%> This one doesn't work
(@)<%flashMP3(1/20091224-Princess Princess.mp3)%> Neither does this one.
This one works
(@)<%flashMP3(http://ltooz.com/ltooz341/media/1/20091224-Princess Princess.mp3)%>
So, either our system setup is wrong or the instructions on the plugin page is wrong. Our system only play if the code is "flashMP3(full url)" and NOT "FlashMP3(relative url)" and the "f"lashMP3 is lower case.
We tried the folder of mp3 songs, it doesn't play either. There must be something we did wrong with our system.
(@)<%flashMP3(http://ltooz.com/music/xmasmp309)%>
Anyhow, we only use this plugin for single song of mp3. For the playlist, we use DewPlayer xml player.
PLAYLIST for NucleusCMS
To generate a playlist automatically, we need this script xpsf_playlister.vbs and just follow the instruction, it's very easy. Again, we need notepad++ to edit the xml file. We create...

ShadowBox For NucleusCMS
Dec
17
I played with the shadowbox a few weeks ago and I really liked it. I modified the NP_LightBox2 to NP_ShadowBox and I got it to work for my blogs. I don't know much about codes, but I modified so I can use it efficiently. Anywho, after trials and errors and gathered information on the Internet on how to "shadowbox", I ironed out all the bugs and here it is and it does even work with ie6 (the most popular but extremely hard to please browser). For those who wants to use it in an html webpage, go here .
Modified Scripts to eliminate conflicts with LightBox2 plugins (rel="lightbox" used to work in shadowbox), without modifications, the shadowbox displays on top of the lightbox2 display.
NP_ShadowBox Usage
This plugin needs to include all the Shadowbox files & JW player5 files necessary to use, you need to download and configure since they can't be included in the plugin due to redistribution rights. Everyone needs to download the files him/herself.
To create this plugin go to NP_ShadowBox.zip
Load the NP_ShadowBox.zip to "yourweb/yournucleus/nucleus/plugins/" folder and extract.
You will have 1 folder "shadowbox" and 1 file "NP_ShadowBox.php" after extracted in plugins folder
Now we can go to the admin page to...
