I just pushed a new version of SEO Lite to github and it has some added goodies, among other things these parameters: Parameters url_title; retrieve by url_title (often found as a url segment) entry_id; retrieve by entry_id use_last_segment = ‘yes’; pure magic! (it will use the last segment, this is useful if you have the [...]

You know, IM’s from random people telling me to visit places where I could gamble with my [...]

Copying the www.mydomain.conf.php to localhost.conf.php and changing the database settings to connect to my local database resulted in this when trying to log in: DataObjects_Usr: ERROR: Unable to load schema for database and table (turn [...]
