mk: installing Anjuta - while I love Geany for code ediing (and even Mousepad), it does not have support for version cool integration, and that is what I need now. Plus, I want to aid Eclipse, which I've happily used years ago, but I consider it too heavy-weight for what I'm doing now (#wordpress #theme and #pligin hacking)

mk: futzing around with the #desktop #theme again, still not quite satisfied, I don't want so much glitz as the delorean (dark) theme has, nd its graphics are inconsistent; I'll probably end up picking a decent dark theme (with a GTK2 and GTK3 variant) and just changing the colors... :-/ #ihateblue

mk: @expatpaul Well I got a reply from the developer that at first I thought didn't help; then it dawned on me he was referring to hooks that probably should be present inside the form, but which I never saw there when redesigning the form fields (still learning WP internals...) As a quick test I injected the two hooks into my form, and sure enough now it works! I've now turned off the feature again until I can do a better repair of the comment form. :) That's just "more work" now, and not "what the h*** is going on here?" #wordpress #theme #hacking

mk: finished writing (not yet testing) a whole series of PHP functions for handling cookies and URLs. Since there are many complications there, I am now properly documenting them - not fun, but absolutely necessary. #theme #hacking

mk: It's not so simple to write a cookie-handling library (one for PHP and one for JavaScript, even) that actually supports the standard - most libraries skimp on support for the finer parts of the standard (such as when and how to use the 'secure' flag). I even found a widely-quoted JavaScript version that 'forgets' about encoding/decoding. And then there's the fact that JavaScript's encoding is not compatible with PHP's encodig (which closer matches the standard), so some extra 'translation' is needed. ugh. #gettingthere #theme #hacking #ineedadrink

mk: oh, what fun! I need to create and read (the same) cookies by both PHP and JavaScript. PHP automatically encodes - but encode/decode functions in PHP and JavaScript are NOT compatible. A great page to help understand this and test: http://ur1.ca/g5nga #theme #hacking

mk: how weird: PHP has had a gzencode() function since version 4.0.4 but teh inverse gzdecode() has only been added in version 5.4 - so, I'd better not use that in my #theme ;) gzdeflate()-gzinflate() should do just fine

mk: OK, I have now worked for about 2 days on a single button - not really, but the (intended) behavior of the button is implemented incorrectly (so a page reload behaves like a button click!). So I'm using this as a model for implementing (JavaScript-independent!) 'toggle' buttons (of course I can add a JS layer once that works, for smoother operation). Now that I have analysed and understood all of that, and created the beginning of a URL-manipulation library, I can set about actually implementing correctly-working toggle buttons :D #theme #hacking #piwigo #butfirstabreak
