Where IN Query Using Codeigniter MongoDB Library

mikhail — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 05:30:46 +0000

Thanks to Alex Bilbie we all have simple way of integrating new MongoDB data store into Codeigniter applications. Thank you Alex and all others who contributed. Library lets you easily create complex where clause without touching MongoDB syntax. Unfortunately IN (and I imagine NIN and some other statements) are not translated correctly. Specificaly proble surfaces when you try to query documents by _id. It looks like there is an open issue on bitbucket.org, but page never loads for me. If it works for you and it has fix, you can stop reading.

So we have multiple files exported from db. In fact we have so many it will take a day to inport them one by one. If on Windows, you probably have nifty tool that will let you drag and drop them into db. I could not find one for linux or Mac, so command line to rescue:


cat *.sql | mysql -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASENAME

Guys and girls at Tynt.om worked hard to make really cool free analytics tool. Basic idea is to keep track of what people copy/paste on your page and automatically link back copied content to original page. As many analytic tools it uses JavaScript that has to update on the blog every time tracking is changed. Tynt.com For WordPress tries to solve this problem by bringing configuration option to WordPress admin panel.

Changing Search Query Parameter in WordPress

mikhail — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 19:34:15 +0000

You may wonder why some would do such thing? Well, most obvious case is integration with existing website. Some times "s" parameter is already used and/or required to have function different from search. This where you have to alter default behavior of WordPress.
