Graffiti 0.1
If you had followed this blog through its evolution from a previous self-managed php news page, to this current WordPress-managed blog, you would know about the news management script I’m going to talk about.
Today, after hearing comments from someone(you know who you are!), I tried modifying that news management script into a temporarily Graffiti playground, or what you might know it as Tagboard or Shoutbox. Though it’s working now, it still needs alot trimming. And that’s only for as long as my patience lasts. So no promise it will eventually be put on this page, not to mention if it is here to stay.
(Technical information ensues!)
And if I really implement it into the blog page, I guess I would have to change the DTD to XHTML Transitional since Strict doesn’t support IFrame anymore and OBJECT is an headache to mess with, leaving XFrame as my only other option and even it is still not ready for use, I guess. Crap, perhaps sticking with Transitional for a blog page isn’t such a bad idea.
And about its technical details, for now what I did to prevent HTML codes from being posted is to replace every symbol “< ” into a ? sign - breaking the HTML tags. And refresh time is set at 30 seconds to prevent overloading. Other than these mentioned, I had to confess I have not done anything else to prevent other sorts of abuse, so for now, feel free to spam! :-)
Oh well. We’ll see. Maybe history would repeat itself and I will end up using some commercial tagboards. Who knows?
