Adding .htaccess based HTTP Basic Authentication to your WordPress blog is such a smart thing to do and I’m trying to help make it easier for you. Mainly because it stops alot of automated hacking attempts and exploits from ever being attempted, thus cutting down on the number of requests, connections, and mysql queries for all WordPress blogs on the Internet.
New Features

Well, this is BETA for now, meaning it works but there are a lot of cool features I just didn’t have time to include in this release. A lot of people were experiencing problems with the older version.

* TONS of error checking and compatibility checks. This plugin WONT break your server.
* Tests your servers ability to use .htaccess/.htpasswd files by setting them up in a temporary spot first and checking them. (ssl/https enabled)
* Determines which .htpasswd Encryption Algorithms that your server supports by testing each one.
* Provides all 4 htpasswd encryption formats that Apache explains
* Uses php to generate the encrypted hashes for all 4 encryption formats using portable code. Even has the apache-specific MD5!
* Allows you to specify and change the AuthName / Realm
* I made this upgrade fool-proof, just the way I like it.

Install Problems
Known solutions to all the issues are in the works so prepare for the next release. In the meantime, the problem occurs because this version tries to save the encrypted htpasswd file ABOVE your document_root, obviously this isn’t working very well for most wordpress users.

In addition to it’s monitoring abilities, Drain Hole has a run-time tag replacement feature that lets you embed special tags in your post which are replaced with information from Drain Hole. For example, you can embed download URLs, version information, last update times, and so on. Whenever you change a downloadable file it is automatically updated throughout your blog, without you needing to change anything else.

Features include:

• SEO download URLs – a unique feature that allows files to look like real links
• SVN support – attach a file directly to an SVN repository and have the contents automatically updated
• Versioning – maintain multiple versions of a file, allowing users to download older files
• Full download statistics, including number of downloads, access times, referrer, and download speed, available as CSV and Flash-based graphs
• Download security – permissions can be assigned to downloads (including Flash files), restricting them to WordPress roles
• Template tags – insert dynamic download data into posts, and into the sidebar as a Widget
• Hot-link protection
• Fully localized
  

  SVN

  Drain Hole provides simple SVN functionality that allows you to associate a file with an SVN repository. A file that uses SVN can then be ‘refreshed’ directly from the SVN repository, rather than requiring you to manually update the file.

  SVN functionality requires that you have SVN installed on your host. You must configure the Drain Hole options and provide the full path to the svn executable. If you are in doubt you should consult your host for details.

  When an SVN-based file is refreshed, Drain Hole will use SVN to retrieve the latest copy of the files. If a repository contains multiple files they will be automatically zipped.

  As additional functionality, Drain Hole will detect if the SVN repository is for a WordPress plugin, and will automatically set the version according to the version information inside the plugin.

  Note that no direct capabilities are provided for username and passwords. However, you can pass a username and password to SVN by including it on the SVN field:

  http://svn.mysite.com/plugin/trunk/ --username=john --password=thing

  Download Tags

  The following tags can be inserted inside posts and pages to embed Drain Hole information. This information is generated dynamically, and will change whenever the underlying information changes:

• [drain hole ID hits] – Displays the total number of hits from the specified hole ID
• [drain hole ID show] – Show a list of all files in the specified hole (change display code by copying view/drain-hole/show_hole.php from the Drain Hole plugin directory to the same directory path in your theme’s directory and editing the file)
• [drain file ID show template] – Displays the download template for the specified file ID. ‘template‘ is optional and can be ignored (the default template will be used)
• [drain file ID version] – Displays the version of the specified file
• [drain file ID versions limit] – Displays the specified number of versions from the file’s history
• [drain file ID hits] – Displays the total downloads for the specified file
• [drain file ID url name] – Displays a URL allowing the specified file to be downloaded. ‘name‘ is optional and is the text that will appear inside the download link (if not specified then the filename is used)
• [drain file ID updated] – Displays the update time of the specified file
• [drain file ID size] – Displays the size of the specified file
• [drain file ID icon] – Displays the download icon for the specified file
• [drain file ID href] – Displays the URL of the file

Where ID refers to the ID of the file or hole, as shown in the Drain Hole administration pages.

Download Templates & File Icons

A download template is a section of HTML code that is used to display all the information for a file download. For example, on this page in the top right corner is the download for Drain Hole itself. The icon and file information are all part of a download template that is re-used on each of the other plugin pages available from this site.

A download template is a file that is stored in your theme directory and contains standard HTML as well as special Drain Hole template tags:

• $icon$
• $url$
• $version$
• $updated$
• $size$
• $href$

These template tags function similar to the post & page tags, but do not require an ID to be specified.

A default template is provided with Drain Hole. Custom templates are PHP files that are stored in view/drain-hole, inside your theme directory. For example, if you are using the default WordPress theme then:

  /wp-content/themes/default/view/drain-hole/mytemplate.php

To use this template in a post you would insert the tag:

  [drain file 5 show mytemplate]

This tells Drain Hole to use ‘mytemplate.php‘ to display file 5.

Custom icons can be stored inside your theme:

  /wp-content/themes/default/view/drain-hole/icons/

• Installation

  Installation is like any WordPress plugin:

• Download drain-hole.zip
• Unzip
• Upload drain-hole directory to /wp-content/plugins on your server
• Activate the plugin
• Use Drain Hole from the Manage/Drain Hole menu

You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page. SVN access to the plugin is provided at the SVN repository.

General Concepts

The Drain Hole plugin makes use of two fundamental concepts:

• Drain hole – a base URL and associated directory where files are stored and downloaded from
• Files – a file belongs to a particular Drain hole

It is important to understand the mapping between a Drain Hole’s URL and its associated directory. To do this you need to know two pieces of information:

1. Where files are to be downloaded from (i.e. http://urbangiraffe.com/download/)
2. Where files are to be stored (i.e /users/john/download/)

This is a mapping from URL to directory:

http://urbangiraffe.com/download/ => /users/john/download/

All files inside the directory will be available at the Drain Hole URL. For example:

/users/john/download/myplugin.zip => http://urbangiraffe.com/download/myplugin.zip

It is preferable that your directory is not in a public location (i.e. in public_html) as Drain Hole may not then be able to function. Your URL must be part of your WordPress installation, but you should not create a directory for it.

Drain Hole ist ein zentrales Download-Manager, mit voller Kontrolle und Statistiken, Versionierung, SVN-Unterstützung, SEO-und Download-URLs (nicht mehr böse query strings!).

Zusätzlich zu seiner Überwachung Fähigkeiten, Drain Hole hat eine Laufzeit-Ersatz-Tag-Funktion, mit der Sie spezielle embed-Tags in Ihrem Post ersetzt, die mit Informationen aus Drain Hole. Sie können zum Beispiel Download-URLs einbetten, die Versionsnummer, letzte Änderung mal, und so weiter. Wenn Sie eine herunterladbare Datei wird automatisch aktualisiert, während Sie Ihr Blog, die Sie benötigen, ohne etwas anderes zu ändern.

Features include:

* Download SEO URLs – eine einzigartige Funktion, mit der Dateien nach wie echte Links
* SVN-Unterstützung – eine Datei direkt auf einen SVN-Repository und die Inhalte automatisch aktualisiert
* Versionierung – mehrere Versionen einer Datei, so dass Nutzer älterer Dateien zum Download
* Der komplette Download-Statistiken, einschließlich der Anzahl der Downloads, Zugriffszeiten, Referrer-und Download-Geschwindigkeit, verfügbar als CSV-und Flash-basierten Graphen
* Download Sicherheit – Berechtigungen zugeordnet werden kann Downloads (einschließlich Flash-Dateien), die Beschränkung auf WordPress Rollen
* Template-Tags – insert download dynamische Daten in Stellen, und in der Sidebar als Widget
* Hot-Link-Schutz
* Voll lokalisierte

Installation

Die Installation ist wie jeder WordPress-Plugin:
* Download-Drain-hole.zip
* Unzip
* Upload-Drain-Loch-Verzeichnis / wp-content/plugins auf Ihrem Server
* Aktivieren Sie die Plugin -
* Verwenden Sie Drain Hole aus dem Manage / Drain Hole-Menü

Hier finden Sie umfassende Informationen über die Installation eines Plugins auf der Plugin-Installation Seite. SVN-Zugriff auf das Plugin ist in der SVN-Repository.
Allgemeine Konzepte

Die Drain Hole Plugin nutzt zwei grundlegende Konzepte:

* Drain Loch – eine Basis-URL und der damit verbundenen Verzeichnisses, in dem die Dateien gespeichert sind und heruntergeladen
* Files – eine Datei gehört zu einer bestimmten Drain-Loch

Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, die Zuordnung zwischen einem Drain Hole URL und den damit in Verbindung stehenden Verzeichnis. Um dies zu tun müssen Sie wissen, daß zwei Stücke von Informationen:

1. Wo sind die Dateien heruntergeladen werden (dh http://urbangiraffe.com/download/)
2. Wo Dateien gespeichert werden sollen (zB / users / john / download /)

Dies ist eine Zuordnung von URL zu dem Verzeichnis:

Http://urbangiraffe.com/download/ => / users / john / download /

Alle Dateien im Verzeichnis werden in der Drain Hole URL. Zum Beispiel:

/ Users / john / download / myplugin.zip => http://urbangiraffe.com/download/myplugin.zip

Es ist wünschenswert, dass Ihr Verzeichnis nicht in einem öffentlichen Ort (dh in public_html) als Drain Hole dann eventuell nicht funktionieren kann. Ihre URL muss Teil Ihrer Installation WordPress, Sie sollten es aber nicht schaffen, ein Verzeichnis für ihn.

Download

Search Meter is a WordPress plugin that helps you keep your blog focused on what your visitors want to read. It does this by keeping track of what your visitors are searching for.

If you have a Search box on your blog, Search Meter automatically records what people are searching for — and whether they are finding what they are looking for. Search Meter’s admin interface shows you what people have been searching for in the last couple of days, and in the last week or month. It also shows you which searches have been unsuccessful. If people search your blog and get no results, they’ll probably go elsewhere. With Search Meter, you’ll be able to find out what people are searching for, and give them what they want by creating new posts on those topics.

You can also show your readers what the most popular searches are. The Popular Searches widget displays a configurable list of recent popular successful search terms on your blog, with each term hyperlinked to the actual search results. There’s also a Recent Searches widget, which simply displays the most recent searches. If you are happy to edit your theme, both of these functions are also available as template tags.

Search Meter installs easily and requires no configuration. Just install it, activate it, and it starts tracking your visitors’ searches. Here’s a screenshot of the administration interface, showing some of the reports you’ll get. Click the image for a full-size view.

Compatibility

Search Meter has been tested successfully with WordPress versions from 1.5 to 2.2.1, and should also work with newer versions as they are released.

Download and Install

1. Download the search-meter.php file (see the end of this article for download location).
2. Copy search-meter.php into your WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins).
3. Log in to WordPress Admin. Go to the Plugins page and click Activate for Search Meter.

View Statistics

To see your search statistics, Log in to WordPress Admin, go to the Dashboard page and click Search Meter. You’ll see the most popular searches in the last day, week and month. Click “Last 100 Searches” or “Last 500 Searches” to see lists of all recent searches.

Manage Statistics

There are a couple of management option available if you go to the Options page and click Search Meter. Use the Reset Statistics button to clear all past search statistics; Search Meter will immediately start gathering fresh statistics. If you’re technically-minded, you might want to check the “Keep detailed information” checkbox to make Search Meter save technical information about every search (the information is taken from the HTTP headers).

Popular and Recent Searches

The Popular Searches widget displays a list of the most popular successful search terms on your blog during the last 30 days. The Recent Searches widget displays a simple list of the most recent successful search terms. In both cases, the search terms in the lists are hyperlinked to the actual search results; readers can click the search term to show the results for that search. Also, you can configure the maximum number of searches that each widget will display.

To add these widgets to your sidebar, log in to WordPress Admin, go to the Presentation page and click Widgets. You can drag the appropriate widget to the sidebar of your choice, and click the Configure button to set the number of searches to display.

Widget support depends on the version of WordPress and the theme you’re using. In some cases you will not be able to use the widgets. In any case, you can always use the Search Meter template tags to display the same information. You’ll need to edit your theme to use them.

The sm_list_popular_searches() template tag displays a list of the 5 most popular successful search terms on your blog during the last 30 days. Each term is a hyperlink; readers can click the search term to show the results for that search. Here are some examples of using this template tag.

sm_list_popular_searches()
Show a simple list of the 5 most popular recent successful search terms, hyperlinked to the actual search results.

sm_list_popular_searches('<h2>Popular Searches</h2>')
Show the list as above, with the heading “Popular Searches”. If there have been no successful searches, then this tag displays no heading and no list.

sm_list_popular_searches('<li><h2>Popular Searches</h2>', '</li>')
Show the headed list as above; this form of the tag should be used in the default WordPress theme. Put it in the sidebar.php file.

sm_list_popular_searches('<li><h2>Popular Searches</h2>', '</li>', 10)
This is the same as the above, but it shows the 10 most popular searches.

sm_list_recent_searches()
Show a simple list of the 5 most recent successful search terms, hyperlinked to the actual search results. You can also use the same options as for the sm_list_popular_searches tag.
