Here’s the last 24 hours of Classcaster CPU utilization. We’ve been under pretty much constant attack without well over 100,000 bogus login attempts from hundreds if not a thousand or more IP addresses. At this point the real problem is that the volume of the attack is swamping the server and the link to the database. The solution is a bigger server and an isolated database. I will be spending the day rebuilding Classcaster to be more hardened against these attacks.

Looking for a new audio plugin to use with Classcaster. A big hurdle seems to be that in Firefox flash blocking add-ons break some of the plugins.

Renamed the files and got all the styling to where I can live with it. Uploaded to Classcaster, activated it site wide. Now everyone on Classcaster can use the [lessonview] short code to add Lessons to Classcaster blogs. See a sample at http://cca.li/lJ

Threw in the link to the Lesson page on http://www.cali.org and the completion time. Looking in to styling.

Back to work on the WordPress plugin for viewing the Lessons API. It works in a nice closed environment. Needs to be tweaked specifically for use on ECR plus (or probably first) needs some styling of the info being returned. I get all of the Lesson node object and all of the authors’ user object, so I have plenty of data to work with.

Tweaked NS Cloner plugin to copy media library files to the newly cloned site. Also reduced the privileges needed to create a clone so that anyone with the right role could do it. Puts me on the path for that big red “Clone Me!” button that we need.

Working on cloning for Classcaster and ECR sites. Goal is to allow privileged members the ability to make a complete clone of a site.
A new plugin, NS Cloner, was released today that promises to make this process easier. It gives the network admin the ability to clone any site. It does an excellent job, but it ignores media files. To copy existing media files from parent to clone is straight forward. The plugin already handles all of the reference to the media files. -

Now that the Twitter Tools thing looks solved, I think I may look into forking that code and starting a new plugin project to keep the TT feature set alive since the current developer is apparently going to abandon it.

OK, it looks like TT 2.4 posts to Twitter when I create a new entry here. It only retreives tweets not generated from this site. That makes sense because If I’m on the blog, I don’t need to see tweets for blog posts.
