Released a basic WordPressMU compatible Facebook Connect plugin and I’m looking for feedback http://bit.ly/fauxfb #wpmu #facebook #wordpress [thott]

Faux Facebook Connect allows Facebook users to comment on WordPress. MU compatible

// December 21st, 2009 // 30 Comments » // wordpress

I just released an initial version of a mainly JavaScript based Facebook connect plugin for WordPress to allow Facebook users to comment on a WordPress powered blog.

The script is build in a way that it can be activated also out of a theme context and does not perform any database alterations or manipulations on user tables. It simply uses the Facebook data to prefill the comment form and hides it once a Facebook user is logged in.

The initial idea for this procedure was taken from Beau Lebens and wrapped up in an easy to use WordPress plugin.

For more information check out the plugin page at: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/faux-facebook-connect/

Feedback Welcome!

WordPress Exploit Scanner

// December 14th, 2009 // No Comments » // wordpress

A while ago I started to work on the WordPress exploit scanner, which aims on finding possible exploits and unwanted code fragments in your WordPress installation. I initially rewrote a lot of code to merge in parts of a project I was previously working on as I thought it would be more useful to just have one project for this topic. I was happy that Donncha, who started this project agreed and added me as contributor to this project.

Today, I pushed out version 0.92 of this plugin which adds some minor speed improvements and a new pattern to detect a JavaScript virus discovered here.

I am currently still looking for new patterns for possible exploits and unwanted code and hope that we can also improve the speed and memory usage further.

If you have any suggestions for improving this plugin or find additional exploits and unwanted code in your WordPress install feel free to leave a note in the forums.

Are there any good native MPOGs for OSX. I enjoy Eve, but it seems pretty unstable ( most likely due to wine wrapper ). Any suggestions? [thott]
