Sun, 06 Nov 2011 07:00:30 UTC

Simplepie per default uses relative paths to generate the cache filename. Whenever I use Simplepie I run into the same problem, that the cache directory can't be located.

Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:14:24 UTC

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:51:18 UTC

this comes from YAPB plugin for WordPress. kudos to the author. (there are some functions that are deprecated in PHP 5.2+ - you'll need to replace eregi with the mb_ version). This should be quite failsafe, regardless if curl is installed or the settings in your php.ini (allow_url_fopen), etc.

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:15:57 UTC

1) if jQuery is already loaded into a browsers' cache -> do nothing 2) if the object is undefined, write a script-element into the source which references google's minified jquery file. 3) if jQuery is still undefined (let's assume Google is down). write a script reference to our local copy into the source. You could also use the if statements to define different JS files for the frontend and the backend. (as seen on www.ie6update.com)

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 09:04:24 UTC
