New WordPress Plugin – Xpandable Author Tab

October 27th, 2010

I ended up getting some free time last night before bed and decided that I would finish the Xpandable Author Tab WordPress plugin that I started a month ago.  This handy, dandy little utility is great for blog authors that have an extended author description stored for them in WordPress.  It saves quite a bit of screen realty on your blog post by encapsulating your author information into an author box that can be expanded upon clicking a button.  By default, the information is collapsed upon a reader coming to your post.  I still have to add this to the WordPress plugin repository over the next few days, but it is forthcoming.  More information and the sneak peak download is on this site at http://www.vaughnbullard.com/apps-plugins/xpandable-author-tab/ .  Any suggestions, comments or tips is certainly appreciated.

Problems importing to Subversion

December 18th, 2008

Ever got this “svn: No such revision ” error? Well I recently got this error on a NetBeans-based IDE project I was doing. Had to completely blow away a module in Subversion. This was because I had to do a complete package restructure of the application.

When I created a new module, I then tried to import the NetBeans project from a folder I had backed up. Well, the problem is that Subversion has its configuration in .svn directories throughout each repository module. So it imported fine to the module with a different SVN client.

The problem is that when I tried to check it out, I got “svn: No such revision 12″-with 12 being the latest module revision I was trying to check out. I solved it by deleting all the .svn directories in my module directories and subdirectories. I then imported the module backup folder into the Subversion module. Checked it out using NetBeans and was completely squared away.
