One way to add to your Pligg install is to add a WordPress blog. The blog can be used for promoting certain site features, posting top 10 lists or posting site news. A blog is a great way to increase your site’s traffic and exposure.

Integrate Pligg and WordPressIntegrate Pligg and WordPress

 

I added a WordPress blog to FAQPAL a couple of months ago and it has certainly helped.

One way to integrate the blog is to display your recent blog posts in the Pligg sidebar, this will again add to your blog traffic and ultimately your Pligg install traffic.

In order to do this, you will need to download the latest version of Simplepie, once downloaded, unzip it, and upload it to your 3rdparty folder. It will take approximately 5 minutes to upload, as it is a huge folder.

SimplePie

Now in order to make this work, you must choose a .php file to add the following code, I have used sidebar_stories_u.php (using v9.9.5) and added it to the bottom.

In Wistie open libs/sidebarstories.php, add to the bottom:

< ?php
$feed_url = ‘http://www.YOURSITE.com/blog/feed/’;
$max_items = 5;
 
//Load SimplePie
include ‘http://www.YOURSITE.com/3rdparty/simplepie/includes/simplepie.inc’;
 
//Fetch the RSS feed
$feed = new SimplePie($feed_url);
 
//Check for errors
if ($feed->error())
        echo ‘Error : ‘,$feed->error();
 
//Output up to $max_items posts
foreach ($feed->get_items(0, $max_items) as $item): ?>
        <div class="item">
                <h3 class="title"><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>">< ?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h3>
                < ?php echo $item->get_description(); ?>
                <p><small>
                Posted  < ?php if ($author = $item->get_author()){ echo ‘ by ‘.$author->get_name(); }?>
                on < ?php echo $item->get_date(‘j F Y | g:i a’); ?>
                </small></p>
        </div>
< ?php
endforeach;
?>

In the above code, make sure you change the domain to match yours, as well make sure the path to your blog is correct.

The code above will display “5″ of your recent entries, which you can change by altering:

$max_items = 5;

it will also display the excerpt for the each blog post, author name and date. I chose to only display the title, so you can remove the following:

                < ?php echo $item->get_description(); ?>
                <p><small>
                Posted  < ?php if ($author = $item->get_author()){ echo ‘ by ‘.$author->get_name(); }?>
                on < ?php echo $item->get_date(‘j F Y | g:i a’); ?>
                </small></p>

That’s it. This module will work on both v9.9.5 and the latest Pligg build. You will need to do whatever styling you want in order to blend it in with the rest of your site.

You can see a working example on FAQPAL, check out the blog as well.

As always, any issues leave me a comment below.

Will you be using this on your Pligg install?

Why not use jQuery? By itself, there is no reason.  However, removing the need for it will cut down on load time.

Another issue with Pligg and jQuery is they do not always get along.  There are too many conflicts with the scriptaculous effects and prototype, which does not like jQuery.

The following is so simple, there is no reason not to use it.

Open, link_summary.tpl and find:

<div id="ls_thetitle-{$link_shakebox_index}" class="toptitle">
                        {if $use_title_as_link eq true}
                                {if $url_short neq "http://" &amp;&amp; $url_short neq "://"}
                                        <a rel="nofollow" href="{$url}" target="_blank">{$title_short}</a></div>

change to:

<div id="ls_thetitle-{$link_shakebox_index}" class="toptitle">
                        {if $use_title_as_link eq true}
                                {if $url_short neq "http://" &amp;&amp; $url_short neq "://"}
                                        <a class="tooltip" rel="nofollow" href="{$url}" target="_blank">{$title_short}<span><img src="http://images.websnapr.com/?url={$url_short}&amp;size=T" alt="{$title_short}" /></span></a></div>

Save.

Open your main CSS file and add:

a.tooltip span {display:none; padding:2px 3px; margin-left:8px; width:200px;}

a.tooltip:hover span{display:inline; position:absolute; background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #80b62a; color:#6c6c6c;z-index:1;}

Save.

You can change the image provider to whatever you like, I personally use Shrink the Web, as they seem to be the quickest.

This method will show the thumbshot immediately upon hover of the story title, the previous method, had a time delay.

One of the biggest sources is in the comments section. Let’s put an end to them now.

I have already shown you how to prevent spam bots from submitting stories by using the fabulous tool, reCaptcha, now let’s add it to the comment form as well.

To add it to your comment form, just do the following steps:

Download the latest reCaptcha library from here and upload to your “root”.

You will also need reCaptcha keys for your site, you will need to register and add your site to reCaptcha. Register for reCaptcha keys here.

Open comment_form.tpl, find:

{if $Spell_Checker eq 1}
<input class="log2" onclick="openSpellChecker(‘comment’);" name="spelling" type="button" value="{#PLIGG_Visual_Check_Spelling#}" />{/if}

After, add:

{php}

require_once(‘recaptchalib.php’);
$publickey = "ENTER PUBLIC KEY HERE";
$privatekey = "ENTER PRIVATE KEY HERE";

# the response from reCAPTCHA
$resp = null;
# the error code from reCAPTCHA, if any
$error = null;

# are we submitting the page?
if ($_POST["submit"]) {
  $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
                                  $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
                                  $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
                                  $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

  if ($resp->is_valid) {
    echo "You got it!";
    # in a real application, you should send an email, create an account, etc
  } else {
    # set the error code so that we can display it. You could also use
    # die ("reCAPTCHA failed"), but using the error message is
    # more user friendly
    $error = $resp->error;
  }
}
echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $error);
{/php}

save. Thats it.

Here is the updated comment_form.tpl file with the reCaptcha code added. – Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

This will eliminate all comments being left by spam bots and will also make human spamming less atractive as well.

So, let’s put the both of them to work for you.  Most WordPress blogs, including this one, use the plugin Tweetmeme.  It simply allows people to Tweet your posts and it shows a count of how many times the post has been Tweeted.

Let’s put this to work on Pligg and hopefully add to your traffic and exposure.  It’s actually quite simple.

Open, link_summary.tpl, add where you want the button to appear:

{literal}
<script type="text/javascript"><!–mce:0–></script>
<script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type="text/javascript"><!–mce:1–></script>
{/literal}

That’s it.

In the example above it will appear like this:

Tweetmeme for Pligg

Tweetmeme for Pligg

If you want the full size button, remove this line:

tweetmeme_style = ‘compact’;

which will give you this:

Tweetmeme and Pligg Fullsize

Tweetmeme and Pligg Fullsize

You can see a working example at FAQPAL.

Twitter streamingSo, why not put the power of Twitter to work for you?  A friend of mine suggested perhaps a Twitter stream in the sidebar.  This sounded great, but let’s make it even better.  I have one setup on FAQPAL, I decided to use as a reward for active members.  On FAQPAL, for each member that submits 3 tutorials their name is added, as long as the submissions are recent.

You can use whatever requirements you want, but you get the idea.  By using the method I have, this offers my users one more reason to submit, not only will the submission be promoted, but everything they tweet will also be promoted in my sidebar.

Here’s how to add it to your Pligg install:

Download and upload the following to your /js folder:

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

Open pligg.tpl, locate /body and add the following before:

{literal}
<script type="text/javascript"><!–
  var rpnetTwitAttrs = {
    usernames: "Pliggs,Grafpedia,dennysugar,bkmacdaddy",
    count: 5,
    title: "Twitter Stream",
    showImages: true,
    imageHeight: ’48px’,
    imageWidth: ’48px’
  };
// –></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.domain.com/js/TwitterWidget.js">
</script>
{/literal}

make sure you change the domain.com to whatever your url is.  The values for “username” can be changed to whatever Twitter id’s you want to display.

Open sidebar.tpl and add the following line where you want the stream to appear:

{if $pagename neq "story"}{assign var=sidebar_module value="twitterstream"}{include file=$the_template_sidebar_modules."/wrapper.tpl"}{/if}

Save and close.

Now, create a file called twitterstream.tpl and add the following to it:

<div class="tlb">
        <a id="rpnet_twTitle" href="#">Twitter Stream</a></div>
<div id="rpnet_twitterWidget">

Get your username listed here by <a title="Submit a tutorial" href="http://www.domain.com/submit">submitting tutorials</a></div>

Again, be sure to change domain.com to whatever your url is.

Save and upload to your sidebar_modules directory.

That’s it.

Notes:

Because of Twitter’s API limitations on the number of API calls in one hour, the stream may appear blank after a while, depending on the traffic to your site, if it does, you will need to wait until the hour is up.  I am hoping to have a cache feature added it to soon to prevent time outs.

The original idea came from our friends at Ronak Patel

The modules works pretty well the same for version 1.0, why haven’t the developers adopted this method?  Who knows.

Here is how to do it for you 1.0 owners:

Step 1: open submit_step_1.tpl

Find:

<h2>{#PLIGG_Visual_Submit1_NewsSource#}</h2>
        <form action="{$URL_submit}" method="post" id="thisform">
                <label for="url">{#PLIGG_Visual_Submit1_NewsURL#}:</label>
                <input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="http://" size="55" />
               
                {checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_submit_step1_end"}
               
                <input type="hidden" name="phase" value=1/>
                <input type="hidden" name="randkey" value="{$submit_rand}"/>
                <input type="hidden" name="id" value="c_1"/>
</form>

After, add:

{php}
require_once(‘recaptchalib.php’);
$publickey = "PUBLICKEY"; // you got this from the signup page
echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);
{/php}
 

Step 2: open submit.php

Find:

// submit step 1
function do_submit1() {
        global $main_smarty, $db, $dblang, $current_user, $the_template;
 

after, add:

//captcha
if(enable_captcha == ‘true’) {

        require_once(‘recaptchalib.php’);
        // Get a key from http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey
        $publickey = "6LcgbAIAAAAAAI9nYv__8BgVklHK71UijWSTbIP4 ";
        $privatekey = "6LcgbAIAAAAAAMUqdB3ROC19UhxV6KcAgh34Gtq_";

        # the response from reCAPTCHA
        $resp = null;
        # the error code from reCAPTCHA, if any
        $error = null;

        # was there a reCAPTCHA response?
        if ($_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]) {
                $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
                                                $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
                                                $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
                                                $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

                if ($resp->is_valid) {
                        echo "Succesfully verified that you are human.";
                } else {
                        # set the error code so that we can display it
                        $error = $resp->error;

                }
        }    

        if (!$resp->is_valid) { // if incorrect captcha code was entered
            $main_smarty->assign(’register_error_text’, "badcode");
            $main_smarty->display($the_template . ‘/submit_errors.tpl’);
            return;
        }
        // fin capthca
 

Find:

}

// submit step 2
function do_submit2() {
 

replace with:

}}

// submit step 2
function do_submit2() {
 

Download the latest reCaptcha library from here and upload to your “root”.

You will also need reCaptcha keys for your site, you will need to register and add your site to reCaptcha. Register here.

In the above snippets, retype all instances of the single apostraphe ( ‘ ) as they are not appearing properly here. In the download they will appear properly however.

If the user/bot fails to enter the correct reCaptcha code, they will be forwarded to your error page controlled by submit_errors.tpl, I have not come with a custom error message for this, maybe someone can submit one.

This should eliminate almost all spam submissions.

Pligg comment spamI have told you how to prevent auto-submitters or spam bots from submitting to your site by using reCaptcha on step 1 of the submission process.  If you successfully install it, you will see a drastic decrease in spam as bots will no longer be able to submit, which is the source of the most of the spam submissions.

The only other source of spam is via the comments.  This again has been a problem with Pligg since day one and if you search their forums the developers have yet to post a solution to users being able to post links in their comments.

I will show you 2 methods for dealing with comments that contain spam links.

Making comment links nofollow

Open libs/utils.php, find:

function text_to_html($string) {
        return preg_replace(‘/([hf][tps]{2,4}:\/\/[^ \t\n\r]+[^ .\t,\n\r\(\)"\'])/’, ‘<a href="$1">$1</a>’, $string);
}

change it to:

function text_to_html($string) {
        return preg_replace(‘/([hf][tps]{2,4}:\/\/[^ \t\n\r]+[^ .\t,\n\r\(\)"\'])/’, ‘<a rel="nofollow" href="$1">$1</a>’, $string);
}

Make links un-clickable:

Open libs/utils.php, find:

function text_to_html($string) {
        return preg_replace(‘/([hf][tps]{2,4}:\/\/[^ \t\n\r]+[^ .\t,\n\r\(\)"\'])/’, ‘<a href="$1">$1</a>’, $string);
}

change it to:

function text_to_html($string) {
        return preg_replace(‘/([hf][tps]{2,4}:\/\/[^ \t\n\r]+[^ .\t,\n\r\(\)"\'])/’, ‘$1′, $string);
}

That’s it.  Which method, is up to you.

Which one will you be using?

While I have no issue with Pligg selling modules, I do have an issue with them selling modules that have no business being sold.

Some of the modules are worth the price, and if you have a few bucks, are worth the investment.  But there are countless that are simply there to get newbies to part with their cash and nothing more.

I will talk about a couple here and will show you how to have the features they are selling for FREE.

Module Name: Latest User Welcome Bot

Price: $9.99

This little module, and it’s little, is a good addition to your Pligg install as it adds a little interactivity with your members especially new ones.  Is it worth $9.99, no.  Here’s how to do it for free.

Open index.php, find:

// sidebar
$main_smarty = do_sidebar($main_smarty);

after, add:

// last person to register
$sql = "SELECT user_login FROM " . table_users . " ORDER BY user_id DESC LIMIT 1";
$last_user = $db->get_var($sql);
$main_smarty->assign(‘last_user’, $last_user);

Save.  Open index_center.tpl, find:

Welcome to our latest member <a href="{$URL_user, $last_user}">{$last_user}</a>

That’s it, you can style it to fit your needs.

Module Name: Top Members Sidebar Module

Price: $8.97

Here’s another could addition to any Pligg install, but again, it’s another one that you do not need to pay for.  Here’s how to accomplish this for free.

Open sidebar.tpl and add the following where you want it to appear:

<div class="headline">Top users</div>
<ul>
{php}
global $db;
$sql="SELECT * from " . table_users . " order by user_karma desc limit 0,10";
$result = @mysql_query ($sql);
$rowCount = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$uname=$row['user_login'];
$ukarma=$row['user_karma'];
if (($rowCount++)%2 == 0)
echo "<li><img src=’". get_avatar(‘small’, "", "$uname","","")."’ class=’align-middle’/> <a href=’" . getmyurl(‘user2′, $uname, ‘profile’) . "’>$uname</a> $ukarma</li>";
else
echo "<li><img src=’". get_avatar(‘small’, "", "$uname","","")."’ class=’align-middle’ alt=’Avatar’ /> <a href=’" . getmyurl(‘user2′, $uname, ‘profile’) . "’>$uname</a> $ukarma</li>";
}
{/php}
</ul>

 

Module name: Quick Submit Module:

Price: $8.99

This little module makes it easy for your members to submit by displaying a form that the user can put a URL in and a submit button, it then takes them to step 2 of the submission process.

Open index_center.tpl, at the top add the following:

{if $user_authenticated eq true}
<blockquote><blockquote>
       <form action="{$URL_submit}?url=" method="GET" id="thisform">

               <input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="Quick Submit URL" size="55" />
               <input type="hidden" name="phase" value=1/>
               <input type="hidden" name="randkey" value="{$submit_rand}"/>
               <input type="hidden" name="id" value="c_1"/>
               <input type="submit" value="{#PLIGG_Visual_Submit1_Continue#}"
class="submit-s" />
       </form>
</blockquote>   </blockquote>
{/if}

 

Module name: Google Analytics for Pligg

Price: $6.97

This module is intended to add code for Google Analytics to every page of your Pligg install.  However, you do not need a module for this, you simply need to add the code to your footer.tpl file.

Open footer.tpl, find:

{* Please do not edit the code below. *}
{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_footer"}

 

above it, add:

{literal}<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src=’" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-4370044-4");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>{/literal}

 

Simply grab the javascript code from your Google Analytics panel and replace the one above.

There are others that I will post about later, but, before you spend money on a module, make sure you know what your getting and that it is actually owrth paying for.

Pligg member fhelik came up with the solution by adding reCaptcha on step 2, this however isn’t the ideal place for it to be, the reason being, most of your spam is being submitted by a bot.  Once the bot registers an account, it then attempts to submit a submission, once it hits step 2, it will be blocked because of the reCaptcha, but what you are left with is an incomplete story submission that will show up in your “Upcoming” section.

Using fhelik, I simply modified it and added it to step 1, this way if it’s a bot doing the story submission, it won’t make it past submitting a URL, and it will prevent incomplete submissions from littering my “Upcoming” pages.

Backup each file before installing this module

I have this installed on Pligg v9.9.5, a demo can be seen at FAQ PAL.

Step 1: open submit_step_1.tpl

Find:

{if $Submit_Require_A_URL neq 1}{#PLIGG_Visual_Submit_Editorial#}{/if}

before, add:

{php}
require_once(‘recaptchalib.php’);
$publickey = "PUBLICKEY"; // you got this from the signup page
echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);
{/php}

Step 2: open submit.php

Find:

// submit step 1
function do_submit1() {
global $main_smarty, $db, $dblang, $current_user, $the_template;

after, add:

//captcha
if(enable_captcha == ‘true’) {

        require_once(‘recaptchalib.php’);
        // Get a key from http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey
        $publickey = "ENTER YOURPUBLICKEY";
        $privatekey = "ENTER YOURPRIVATE";

        # the response from reCAPTCHA
        $resp = null;
        # the error code from reCAPTCHA, if any
        $error = null;

        # was there a reCAPTCHA response?
        if ($_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]) {
                $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
                                                $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
                                                $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
                                                $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

                if ($resp->is_valid) {
                        echo "Succesfully verified that you are human.";
                } else {
                        # set the error code so that we can display it
                        $error = $resp->error;

                }
        }    

        if (!$resp->is_valid) { // if incorrect captcha code was entered
            $main_smarty->assign(‘register_error_text’, "badcode");
            $main_smarty->display($the_template . ‘/submit_errors.tpl’);
            return;
        }
        // fin capthca

Find:

}

// submit step 2
function do_submit2() {

Replace, with:

}}

// submit step 2
function do_submit2() {

Download the latest reCaptcha library from here and upload to your “root”. 

You will also need reCaptcha keys for your site, you will need to register and add your site to reCaptcha.  Register here.

In the above snippets, retype all instances of the single apostraphe ( ‘ ) as they are not appearing properly here. In the download they will appear properly however.

If the user/bot fails to enter the correct reCaptcha code, they will be forwarded to your error page controlled by submit_errors.tpl, I have not come with a custom error message for this, maybe someone can submit one.

This should eliminate almost all spam submissions.

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

Error page:

If the user enters the wrong reCaptcha code, heres a sample error page complete with error message and back button.

Download the file below and upload it to templates/yget .

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

Go to submit.php and change:

       if (!$resp->is_valid) { // if incorrect captcha code was entered
            $main_smarty->assign(’register_error_text’, "badcode");
            $main_smarty->display($the_template . ‘/submit_errors.tpl’);
            return;
        }
        // fin capthca

to,

       if (!$resp->is_valid) { // if incorrect captcha code was entered
                $main_smarty->assign(‘submit_error’, ‘badcode’);
                $main_smarty->assign(‘tpl_center’, $the_template . ‘/captcha’);
                $main_smarty->display($the_template . ‘/pligg.tpl’);
                return;
        }
        // fin capthca

Again, you can test this on FAQPAL
