This search plugin works with Firefox and recent versions of Internet Explorer to add the StillTasty site to your browser’s search bar.
From Mycroft:
A search engine plugin allows you to access a search engine directly from your browser. In Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer you use the search bar at the top right. Microsoft appears to prefer the term Search Provider but there is no difference in function. There are also tools to add search capability to right click menus and other locations.
StillTasty is a tool to let you know how long your leftovers will remain good. Sure, you can just smell it or decide that fuzzy means bad, but this will allow you to plan a bit more- knowing that the leftover cake will probably still be good in a few days means you don’t have to eat it all right now!
Will export all of your PSG posts, tags, and comments into the Movable Type Import / Export format. This will allow you to import this data into other blogging software, such as Moveable Type or WordPress.
To use, you will need to configure it slightly – either copy the configuration array (which defines the location of your PSG files) from PSG’s index.php, or include a file which sets that information (for me, that was blogadmin.php). You will also need to change the ‘AUTHOR’ field in the dump_post function to whatever you want these posts to be attributed to (assuming they are all by the same person, of course).
Known issues:
- For some reason, when I imported the file generated here into WordPress all of my comments had quotes and doublequotes escaped after import, despite them not appearing that way in the dump file. I fixed this by manually replacing those strings in the comments table in the WordPress database.
- Permalinks inside of posts to other posts will not work, natch.
An alternate way to display archives in PSG- just include it along with psg.php, add a few lines of code, and you can browse archives by month (similar to most other blogging software).
I am now an official PSG developer, so this, along with other changes I’ve made, have been incorporated into the main codebase. It would be wise to simply install a recent version, instead of applying the module here as-is.
