Description
Post Promotion is a plugin that "sticks" a post on the top of your Homepage. This acts like the reddit promoted posts.
The posts in the "Promoted Posts" list are randomly displayed in a Box in your home page.
Anyone who has the "can_promote" permission should be able to add a story in the "Promoted Posts" list.

Instructions

Unzip the contents of the zip archive inside your /content/plugins/ so that you end up with the post_promotion folder in there.
Then go into Admin->Plugin Management and install the Post Promotion plugin. Order the plugins so that the Post Promotion plugin is first in the first column.
To promote a post, visit the post on your website and click on the "Promote Post" link which can be found after the post's body.
Clicking on the "Promote Post" link will take you to the Post Promotion Settings page in the Admin Area.
In the settings page you will be informed whether the post was promoted or not along with a list of currently promoted posts.
You can un-promote posts by clicking the up-Promote link on post bottom or from the listing of the promoted posts in the Post Promotion Settings admin page.

Image Upload 0.1

Nick — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 05:26:26 GMT

Image Upload
Version: 0.1
Author: Nick Ramsay
Created: 2010/06
Last Updated: 2010/08/17
Tested on: Hotaru 1.4.0 ~ 1.4.1
Plugins Required: Tim Thumb
Plug & Play: Yes
Supported: Yes

Description
This plugin enables the post submitter to upload an image from his or her computer to attach to the post. See the Magazine demo here.

Features:
- Adds option to attach an uploaded image to new and old posts
- Includes the ability to remove an attachment
- Creates an "uploads" folder if one doesn't already exist
- Stores images in folders organized by site id and date
- Displays thumbnails on list pages and embeds a larger image on post pages
- Uses the Tim Thumb plugin for thumbnail creation and caching
- Uses the Thickbox plugin for displaying images when thumbnails are clicked
- Options to resize thumbnails and embedded images
- Option to set the maximum filesize for images that can be uploaded
- Advanced function for overriding size settings within templates

NOTE: This plugin only allows a single image per post. The position of the image is determined by where you put the plugin hook in your template, and is the same for every post. Image Upload was designed to make article posting as quick as possible. You type your text, upload an image and you're finished. See the Magazine Demo as an example of how effective this fixed position, single image concept is.

If you want to control the sizes, position and number of images per post, this plugin is not for you.

Instructions
1. Upload the "image_upload" folder to your plugins folder.
2. Install it from Plugin Management in Admin.
3. Edited image sizes in Admin -> Plugin Settings -> Image Upload
4. Add this plugin hook to submit2.php and submit_edit.php on the line AFTER the last closing tag:

PHP Code:


->pluginHook('image_upload'); ?>

By default, thumbnail and embedded images are displayed via the "show_post_content_list" and "show_post_content_post" plugin hooks in bookmarking_list.php and bookmarking_post.php respectively (or their equivalent templates in the Magazine plugin).

Advanced Usage
You can prevent the default behavior by excluding the image_upload plugin from the show_post hooks, i.e.:

PHP Code:


->pluginHook('show_post_content_list', '', array(), array('image_upload')); ?>

PHP Code:


->pluginHook('show_post_content_post', '', array(), array('image_upload')); ?>

Then, as a replacement, use:

PHP Code:


->pluginHook('show_post_image'); ?>

Highly customized themes may need unique sizes per plugin hook. To specify them, set the image size like this:

PHP Code:


->pluginHook('show_post_image', '', array('width'=>125, 'height'=>125)); ?>

Magazine 0.1

Nick — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:12:04 GMT

Magazine
Version: 0.1
Author: Nick Ramsay
Created: 2010/06
Last Updated: 2010/08/16
Tested on: Hotaru 1.4.0 ~ 1.4.1
Plugins Required: None
Plug & Play: Yes
Supported: Yes

Description
This plugin provides the templates for a magazine-style site and is an alternative to the Bookmarking plugin. See the demo here.

Use this plugin instead of Bookmarking if...

- you don't need voting
- you don't need Top Posts and Latest pages

The templates included are:
- magazine_front (shows a fixed number of posts on the front page with no pagination)
- magazine_featured (the first post with "top" status on the front page)
- magazine_list (list of posts with pagination, e.g. categories and tag pages)
- magazine_post (individual post article)

NOTE: This plugin is intended for more adventurous Hotaru users. The templates need a lot of editing if you want to achieve the look of the Magazine Demo. The default style is shown in the attached screen shot.

Instructions
1. Uninstall Bookmarking if currently installed.
2. Upload the "magazine" folder to your plugins folder.
3. Install it from Plugin Management in Admin.
4. Move Magazine to the very top of the plugin order.
5. Copy /content/plugins/submit/templates/submit3.php to your theme folder and change:

PHP Code:


->displayTemplate('bookmarking_post', 'bookmarking') ?>

to:

PHP Code:


->displayTemplate('magazine_post', 'magazine') ?>

Usage
The featured post is the most recent post with "top" status. By default, newly submitted posts have "new" status. You can change them to "top" using the edit form.

Note
Please understand that some of Hotaru's plugins were designed for social bookmarking and may not be compatible with this plugin (e.g. Posts Widget).

Pligg2Hotaru 0.2

Nick — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:30:14 GMT

Pligg2Hotaru
Version: 0.2
Author: Nick Ramsay
Created: 2010/08/16
Last Updated: 2010/08/19
Tested on: Hotaru 1.4.1
Plugins Required: None
Plug & Play: Yes, but needs some preparation (see instructions)
Supported: Yes

Description
Import a Pligg or SWCMS database into Hotaru CMS. Version 0.1 imports the following tables: Links, Comments, Users, Categories, Tags and Votes. It doesn't import favorites, messages, friend data or anything else. Please hire me if you have special requirements.

Difference to Pligg Importer
The Pligg Importer plugin used XML exports and tons of memory. It's also incompatible with the latest versions of phpMyAdmin and I've ended my support for it. Pligg2Hotaru uses SQL exports and works with batches of data to keep memory usage down. It is compatible with the most versions of phpMyAdmin.

Note
Depending on the size of your Pligg database, importing each file can take a long time. This isn't a straight import. Almost every aspect of your Pligg database is changed. For example, all users will get a new id number, so every table with a user_id field needs updating with this new id. The same goes for link ids, category ids etc.

Instructions
1. Make sure your Hotaru username and password match your old 'god' account from Pligg.

* If your Pligg username was 3 characters (e.g. "god" or "tom"), go to your Hotaru Account page and add "1" to your username (e.g. "god1" or "tom1").
* If your Pligg password is not at least 8 characters and only contains letters, numbers and these symbols: ! @ * # - _ then you will need to change your password in Pligg before using this plugin.
* After changing your Hotaru username or password, log out and then log back in again.

2. From phpMyAdmin (or similar) export your whole Pligg database as SQL, then import it into your Hotaru database (this will only work if your Pligg tables have a different prefix to Hotaru tables, e.g. "pligg_")
3. Upload the "pligg2hotaru" folder to your plugins folder.
4. Install it from Plugin Management in Admin.
5. Click Pligg2Hotaru in the Admin sidebar and follow the steps.

After importing...
When you've successfully imported your Pligg data into Hotaru and are satisfied it worked, you can delete all the old Pligg tables from the front page of the Pligg2Hotaru plugin. Some users won't be able to log in, so use the Admin Email plugin to inform them of these two points:

* If their username was 3 characters, they should add "1" to the end of it when they log in. After they have logged in, they can change their username again from their profile.
* Passwords in Hotaru must be at least 8 characters and can only contain letters, numbers and these symbols: ! @ * # - _ Any user with a password that fails will need to use the "Forgotten Password" form on the login page to get a new password.

Troubleshooting
Big databases usually require some workarounds to prevent timeouts, etc. Here are some tips:
* If you are coming from SWCMS, consider using the SWCMS DB Cleanup module before importing your site (not sure if it works for Pligg. It probably does.)
* Export the links, comments, users, categories, tags and votes tables individually from your Pligg database and import them into the Hotaru database one-by-one.
* Export your tables with compression, e.g. "zipped" or "gzipped".
* If you have access to php.ini, change "max_execution_time" to 3600 seconds (1 hour)
* If using phpMyAdmin, open config.inc.php and add or set $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 3600;
* If you don't have access to php.ini, try adding the set_time_limit function to the foreach loops in the each file. Alternatively, try .htaccess.
