Pictureindex Plugin

~~All the photos on my site~~ The photo galleries on my site that aren't links to Flickr are displayed using the pictureindex plugin. On a list of articles only the first image thumbnail is shown, but when you click on the permalink page you see all the thumbnails. Click on a thumbnail to see the larger image, and from there you can go forward and back through all the images. Yet the entire gallery is still one entry from the point of view of comments, trackbacks, etc.

Error Plugin

The "Captcha Plugin" entry requires the error plugin in order to work, but I forgot to publish it when I published Captcha! So here it is. It is used by the Captcha plugin (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart") to report when the user enters the wrong string, etc.

All this plugin does is adapt CGI::Carp to work in a Captcha environment. You create a flavour file called "error.html" and that file will be displayed with any error message whenever a "die" occurs in any Blosxom plugin. Since the "captcha" plugin uses die to report errors, you will get an "Internal Server Error" unless you have the error plugin installed.

In order for it to work it must be loaded before the plugin that dies, so I suggest naming it "00error" in your plugins directory.

Captcha Plugin

As noted in "Comments Now Enabled", my site has comments enabled, but the user is required to enter a "CAPTCHA" (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.") string. You can download this plugin and use it on your Blosxom site too. It is licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL).
