Sorry, no english text.

Trust me, you don’t need to read this… Spanish text only.

Here is the outline of what I did to get some (translated) text displayed at the beginning of every category page. This is mostly a reminder to myself in order to be able to redo it in the unlikely case I upgrade Wordpress and have to go through it once again.

I just installed the view-count plugin by Mike O’Connell. As one would expect, it’s a very simple plugin. On the first run it ALTERs the posts table adding a BIGINT view_count column which is updated when users click on a post. To display the number of views, one has just to call the_view_count() at some place in the template. I’ll add it one day…

Alas, the counter never gets updated… the filters installed by the plugin never get called, since expects filter single_template to be applied somewhere during template rendering, but that filter name doesn’t even exist in my ancient wordpress version. I just added

if(is_single() || is_page())
apply_filter('single_template', $content);

to wp-includes/template-functions-post.php, function the_content() and it works now. I hope that as it should

This is just a note for myself and maybe a couple more people, so I haven’t translated it.

Browsing thorugh the Webalizer stats, I’ve found thousands of requests for pages which no longer are on this site because I didn’t move them during the transition to WordPress.

So I’ve decided to upload them adapted to the new site functioning and structure. Someone might find them useful, who knows, although I really doubt it (as a matter of fact, I suspect most of those hits to come from search engine bots). The stuff is about [metacrilato] (english word?) and some DIY electronics, TCPA, SETI@home and SuSE Linux.

Some useless facts about this domain name:

I’m afraid there hasn’t been much activity here recently, and not much more is to be expected given my current workload…

Just that.
