Widget creation : awsome and very useful

by Alain Matthes

Hello This bundle is awsome and very useful. For people who works with LaTeX and with a lot of files with iso 8859-1 encoding, i make a widget after having looked at the sreencast #!/usr/bin/env bash for file in "$@" do /usr/bin/iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 "$file" > "$file".utf8 && mv "$file".utf8 "$file" done Now i can drop all the files of a directory and get utf8 files (attention : with this script , the old files are lost, perhaps a backup is necessary before) Thanks Andy, for this great tool Alain Matthes

Sorry, I'm on a roll

by Brett Terpstra

Ok, this is it, I'm getting back to work. No, actually it's time for a movie with my wife. Looks like I'll be working Sunday ;-). This is a Wordpress plugin, a blogging.rb patch and a Search Posts command. The plugin returns related posts with title, permalink and ID. The blogging.rb patch/command will give you a dialog to enter a search term or phrase (unless there is text selected) a dropdown to pick a post, fetch it and open it in a new window. I hope somebody finds it useful. I know I do. Brett

Almost the last time

by Brett Terpstra

This is a quick patch file for metaweblog. If you install the plugin (seriously, it is, in my opinion, very cool), you'll need this to run the command in TextMate. I have gone a step further and modified the plugin by one tiny line and now I can run a search for posts by keyword using the plugin, and open them just like Fetch Post. Difference being I can open any post I've ever written and I can narrow the field down instantly... I will post the updated plugin, a patch for blogging.rb and a Search Posts command all together.

One more thing...

by Brett Terpstra

In my enthusiasm I forgot that I made a 3 line addition to metaweblog.rb in order to make the related posts plugin work. I'm going to paste it here (sorry, Allan) but I will make a diff file in a minute. def getRelatedPosts(blog_id, username, password, data) call("wordpress.getRelatedPosts", "#{blog_id}", "#{username}", "# {password}", data) end Brett

More Toys for Bloggers

by Brett Terpstra

Another unproductive day at the office yields more of my usual tricks. I was writing a blog post and realized that I often want to link to an article I've written myself. This tends to be a good practice, even if just to keep new visitors delving a little deeper into your site. But none of the current linking tools in TextMate were especially good at handling this. So I started problem solving. Solution 1: Lookup Word/Selection on blog and link. This command was my first idea. It's just a modification of the google lucky linking command that takes your selection, lets you choose which blog from your endpoints and then runs a google search with a site:your.blog.com in the search string. So it's limited to results from your own site, and links to the first result returned. Solution 2: That wasn't effective enough. Posts aren't always on Google if they're too old or too new and there was no control over which post was chosen. So I modified the Fetch Recent Posts command to insert a link to the chosen post. If you run it without any input it will ask you for the text of the link. Solution 3: That wasn't complicated enough. This last solution is for Wordpress users only, I'm afraid, but it's a doozy. The plugin included here is a heavily modified version of the Related Posts plugin. It runs a FULLTEXT search on your posts with your selected text and returns relevant posts in an array. The whole thing is an XMLRPC hook. No hacking required. I finally figured out how to do this today, so I'm going to modify my Ultimate Tag Warrior hack to be a plugin as well. I'll get to that later. There's a command with this called "Link to Related Posts" that will query the database and present the related posts in a dropdown.

Another halloween-themed treat

by Pat Maddox

Haven't seen anybody mention this yet. If you go to Bundles->Textmate->Install Edit in Textmate, the instructions are a very cool halloween theme. Not sure what kind of window this is for..I looked at the help docs and they look normal. But yeah, pretty cool If you got away from the satanic animal sacrifice version, you here's a screenshot: http://www.javaspot.net/images/textmate_halloween.png

Bright, Patient Design

by Jay Soffian

http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2006/10/31/ bright_patient_design.html <snip> I'm not a power user, but I know what I expect out of a good editor and, well, BBEdit is a good editor, but whenever I fire it up I feel like I forgot to read some imaginary manual called, "BBEdit Rocks. Really." I suspect the fact that I didn't grow up with BBEdit is part of the issue. The fact that I'm a pure Mac OS X guy with zero pre-Mac OS X experience probably contributes to feeling like I'm missing part of the BBEdit joke. Yeah, Zap Gremlins. Ha ha. I get it. Clever, but great design? My BBEdit ambivalence allows me to check out new editors as they stream across my consciousness and, to BBEdit's credit, it's lasted four years. I've test driven several editors during that time and BBEdit remained my technical tool of choice, but it was only a matter of time until someone else knocked my socks off. The buzz around TextMate started many months ago, but it's when folks started to ask me to order it that I started to pay attention. There is no copy protection known to man that any bright engineer can't circumvent, so when an engineer asks you to purchase the software they're saying, "This is the shit. We should pay these guys for this fine piece of work." You bet I downloaded it. After two steady months of TextMate, I'm happy to declare it my editor of choice because it demonstrates a design philosophy I love. Bright, Patient Design. I'll explain ... </snip> j.

One hack would be to use something like my RemoteEdit scripts. The script would need to: i) make a temporary copy of the file ii) open the file in TextMate for editing iii) On save or close, copy the temporary file back over the original. hrm. In fact, as my scripts use scp, and that works locally as well as remotely, my remoteEdit script should work just fine for this. :) http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/RemoteEdit/ sudo remoteEdit /my/local/file should just work... but it doesn't. sigh. It has problems forwarding the ODB suite AppleEvents between root and the normal user. It might not be too hard to work around that though. *wanders off to think* Cheers, Will :-}
