Open Parenthesis Is Now HTML 5 and Responsive

Published on Sunday, May 20 2012

Open Parenthesis is now HTML 5 and Responsive

Finally took the time this weekend to clean up the theme on this blog and make it HTML 5 and Responsive. This basically means a mashup of:

The WordPress Theme I picked a while back (Nameless, though my copy of it is modified a bit)
HTML 5 Boilerplate, including modernizr. (I did think about jumping right to HTML 9 Responsive Boilerstrap JS, but wasn’t sure I was ready to “rubygem the lymphnode js shawarma module” as they say).
Some responsive WordPress core styles
Example media queries for various sizes from around the web

The results look pretty good in all the browsers I have access to, and all the tools I’ve tested in – but do let me know if you find something ugly or unexpected going on. You can find the whole thing at GitHub if you’re interested in the details.

WPBook & WPBook Lite Updates for Deprecated Offline Access

Published on Saturday, May 19 2012

Enable "deprecate offline_access" to get extended access token and be prepared for when Facebook permanently removes offline_access

Facebook’s developer roadmap is always changing. The latest change that impacts WPBook and WPBook Lite is the removal of the “offline_access” permission, coming in July:

The offline_access permission is deprecated and will be removed July 5, 2012. Until then, you can turn this change on or off using the “Remove offline_access permission” migration. On May 2, 2012, we will automatically turn the migration to “enabled” for all apps. If this breaks your app, you can turn the migration back to “disabled” until July 5, 2012 when it will be permanently “enabled” for all apps.

If that wasn’t confusing enough, check out the “Removal of offline access permission” page, which explains that:

While we are removing the use of the offline_access permission, through a migration setting in the Developer App, we are now allowing the option to use access_tokens with a long-lived expiration time that can be renewed each time the user revists your app (see exceptions below). For existing apps that are not using the offline_access permission, there are no changes required for your app, but you should consider using the new endpoint that allows the longer expiration time.

Introducing WPGPlus: Posting from WordPress to Google+

Published on Tuesday, January 17 2012

Inspired by seeing comments in Google+ about the need for a WordPress cross-post, I whipped up a quick WordPress plugin: WPGPLus.

For now, since the Google+ API is read-only, I’m borrowing inspiration from Luka Puši?’s GPlus Bot and Dmitry Sandalov’s Twitter 2 Google Plus script.

This means emulating the Google+ mobile web experience using Curl.

WPGPlus adds a box to the post edit screen where you can choose yes/no for publishing to Google+, as well as a place for a message to be used in the body.

(If you provide a Google+ message it is used; if you provide a post excerpt it is used; otherwise post content is used).

Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think!
