Over on GitHub I have just open sourced a PHP web and web services framework which I’ve been making use of to build a lot of projects recently.

Initially, it was built for a single project but I’ve ended up using it for many other things, and I thought it might be useful to the Open Source community.

Features

  • Pluggable
  • Light weight
  • Sophisticated events system
  • Abstracted database layer
  • MVC architecture
  • Virtual pages
  • Object/Metadata based data model

Its designed to have much of its functionality carried in plugins, many of which I will release a little bit later just as soon I’ve had the time to tidy them up a bit!

Anywho, its available under the MIT licence and hopefully it’ll be useful to you!

Scratching even more itches, this on behalf of our lovely people using the latakoo service to host video on their blogs.

So here is a WordPress plugin that simplifies embedding latakoo video on your blog by adding a latakoo shortcode. Simply install it and you will be able to link to videos directly on your account without the need to cut and paste the embed codes.

Later, when I have time, I plan to add some other cool stuff to it.. but that may have to wait for now.

Please note that this is in no way an “official” plugin.

Another itch scratched, I would like to introduce a really simple Open Graph plugin for WordPress.

This plugin adds open graph headers to posts and pages on a per post basis.

It has no native interface, instead it listens out for og:* headers as input in the Custom Fields section of WordPress’ edit page and adds the ones it recognises to the page header as meta tags.

Once installed you will be able to add the following tags to posts:

  • og:title (defaults to page title)
  • og:type (defaults to “article”)
  • og:image (URL, no default)
  • og:url is also used, but this is automatically filled in

I wrote this in about an hour so it isn’t all that fancy, and was designed to solve a specific problem for me. Hopefully it’ll be useful to someone else out there.

Feel free to leave comments and send in any patches!
