The page layout design on this website needs to be fixed. It chops off all of the comments so they can't be read. Btw, in terms of legibility, the ideal line length is 12-17 words... not 30-40!

As a follow-up to my previous comment, I think I answered my own question. The way to get PHP to recognize a variable passed as a parameter in the URL is with the GET function. $file = $_GET["file"].

Cool. The new version got past the previous PHP errors, but I'm still getting an error that says "Undefined variable: file in ... on line 53". I hate to be the idiot who doesn't know how to use PHP, but how do I get PHP (or maybe Apache) to know that $file is the parameter that's passed in the URL? As in "source.php?file=$file".

Yeah! Actually, it's not just the version, it's the register_globals being off. For some reason, I had mine on... hopefully i haven't broken anything by turning it off.

Anyway, @$file@ is the parameter that you need to pass to the script, like to view the source.php script, you need a link to "source.php?file=source.php":http://www.huddledmasses.org/wp-content/plugins/source.php?file=source.php or else you should just get the "sorry, that file doesn't exist" error.

Anyway, I think I fixed my copy of "View Source":":http://www.huddledmasses.org/wp-content/plugins/source.php?file=source.php, so you can use that link I just posted to view it, and even download it.

You mentioned your "view source" plugin in one of the comments on this post. I downloaded it from your site and tried it on my own, but I'm having big problems. It gives me errors of undefined variables (DOCUMENT_ROOT, PHP_SELF, and file). The first two can be fixed by changing "dirname($DOCUMENT_ROOT.$PHP_SELF)" to "$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']" and "$PHP_SELF" to "$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']". I'm assuming that's an issue with the PHP version. But what about the "file" variable? Any ideas?

Hello! I come from Taiwan,and just downloaded this plug-in.
It's convienient to make me use some abbrev without explain what it is.
But I have a problem now,that this plug-in seem not to work on Chinese(Big5).
For Example,
"(Chinese)"=>"12345",
"FF"=>"(Chinese)",
the latter works,but former doesn't.
I guess it's because the plug-in can't catch Chinese characters correctly,which consists of two bytes.
Can you help me fix this problem?

I'm not sure about the error, because I don't know how you edited the file... but to make the acronyms case sensitive, all you have to do is remove the "i" from the regular expression (that is: replace |imsU with |msU).

Re: WordPress Plugin - Acronym Replacer

Henrik — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 14:49:32 -0000

Thank you for that plugin. It's nice to get acronyms without writing them manually. But there is a part which doesn't behave well at least for the german language. When I'm using "im" within a post it will be replaced with the acronym. Which shouldn't be done. In my opinion only big letters should trigger a replacement. I tried one of the other regex within your plugin, but I always get following error: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in %path%/plugins/acronyms.php on line 174".

I've _finally_ gotten around to adding a "download" link to my source script. All of my plugins should be simple and easy to download now, just click through to the source and hit the download link.

Wait: I changed encoding to Western ISO-1 (8859-1) and now it seems fine.

Frankly, would getting a direct link to the plugin file be too much to ask for? That encoding bug would vanish.

Re: WordPress Plugin - Acronym Replacer

FranA?ois — Sun, 21 Aug 2005 09:03:08 -0000

I have strictly no space or CR or anything outside my php open/close tags, yet I still get 4 "couldn't modify headers" errors. Quite annoying. Does this have to do with the file encoding? I'm in UTF-8 to match my WP install.

For those that were getting the errors, I got them too, I had a extra char (CR I think) after the closing ?> Make sure that there is nothing (no space, line break, etc) after the ?> and it should fix it.

Great plugin!

By the way Jeannie:
Check for spaces, newlines or any characters before the , and remove them. That should work.

Firda — Wed, 27 Jul 2005 10:00:56 -0000

I get the same errors in my admin as Jeannie did. What should I do to fix it?

Otherwise, it's a great plugin.

Thanks!

great plugin! exactly what i've been hoping to find. unfortunately, it makes my admin go all wonky. i get the following errors above the rest of the wonky screen:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/account/public_html/wp-content/plugins/acronyms.php:141) in /home/account/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 10

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/account/public_html/wp-content/plugins/acronyms.php:141) in /home/account/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 13

i'm not php-savvy so it might be a simple fix. i just don't know what it is. commenting out those lines in the admin.php file didn't do me any good LOL. any chance for some help?

I was experiencing the same problem as a few of you on this site when I would copy off the text from this website and past it into an empty Dreamweaver file. When I would try activating the plugin it would say something like unexpected T_Expression and not work.

The problem was in the white space on each line. Apparently they are a different type of white space then a regular push of the space bar. So I put the code into BBedit lite and set it to display hidden characters and spaces. Then I selected one of the wrong space (it was displayed as a solid dot, not a hollow dot) and did a find replace, replacing the trouble makers with regular dots. Now it seams to be working great.

Also, I should note that I am using a Mac OS box running Tiger.

PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", not "Hypertext PreProcessing"

Hi Joel, great plugin...I saw you were beta testing a more froo-froo laden version that would also let you specify a replacement text for the acronym - i.e., if you were to type :Mom: (I use the colons to distinguish between things I don't want acronym...ized), it could return [insert replacement text here] as an acronym. Is there a way to hack your current plugin to do this, as you haven't released the one you were talking about back in October to the masses yet? (Or would you be willing to let the new one out?)

Fantastic plugin, I've just implemented it on my fledgling blog, and I know it will save me a lot of tedious typing - Thanks!

Oh, you probably already know this, I don't see it mentioned anywhere, but it seems to work fine on WP v1.5.

If you're having login page issues (returning blank), a minor plugin issue could be the cause.

As an explanation, yet another FYI: I, too, somehow stumbled into the trailing spaces issue: a single whitespace had crept into the last line in wp-acronyms.php, just after the closing "?>" tag. Most interestingly, not only was the acronym feature not working, but it broke the WP login page: the base login page came up fine, but after entering my user/pass, I got back a completely blank page -- and still wasn't logged in.

I still don't know how or exactly when this extra space crept in :/
