Title: Easy RSS feed
Post by: flaquito on May 17, 2007, 09:27:32 pm
Easy_RSS
Written by: Brent Gerig

This is the first plugin I've written, so it may not be perfect. However, I've tested it as much as I could and it seems to work well. I'd love feedback and bug reports, and I'll do what I can to continue developing it.

Summary:
This plugin adds an RSS feed of the most recent uploads to a gallery. It is based on the rss.php written by Tarique Sani and modified by versus7 (See original thread at http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=11081.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=11081.0)).

The RSS feed will always show last updates for the portion of the gallery where the link is obtained. For example, the RSS link in a particular album will show updates to that album, but the RSS link in a user gallery will show recent updates to that user's gallery only.

Features:

Installation:
Just use the plugin manager to upload the zip file, then click the 'i' to install it.
Note: Installing this plugin will copy the rss.php file to your root Coppermine folder. If the file already exists, it will not be overwritten, but the plugin will probably not work correctly. There's probably a way to do this without copying it, but I was having path problems.

Changes:

Ver 1.0.1

Ver 1.1


[Edit GauGau 2010-03-05]
This plugin has been added to the subversion repository: http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/branches/cpg1.4.x/plugins/

It has been updated as well to reflect the version checking routines in the plugin manager that are meant to make sure that galleries don't break because of plugins installed that aren't meant for that particular version of the gallery.

This sounds to be exactly what I've been looking for, and I feared I might have to tackle writing the plug-in myself! (Not sure I was up to the job!) Okay, downloading to install on my test setup before committing to my live sites. Anyone else doing testing?

Great! I hope it does what you need it to. Let me know how works out, and if there's anything that needs to be clarified or changed.

Installed it and don't see anything. Infact I don't even see the plugin in the plugin area after install either
Title: Re: Easy RSS feed
Post by: flaquito on May 18, 2007, 05:39:59 am
Well that's odd. Just to be absolutely sure, I completely deleted the plugin from my gallery, re-downloaded the file from this thread, and uploaded and installed it. It worked just fine. Can you open the zip file and make sure you have a good download? The md5sum (as of ver 1.0, just in case I post an update in the future) should be 9a207fe2c55102aa6f5b5ea79bdfcbb1 and it should have the following files:

Easy_RSS/lang/english.php
Easy_RSS/codebase.php
Easy_RSS/rss.php
Easy_RSS/configuration.php
Easy_RSS/rss.gif
Easy_RSS/include/init.inc.php
Easy_RSS/clear.gif

Interesting. Thanks for testing that. If you don't mind doing just a bit more testing, I'd be curious to know which plugin it's compatible with. Maybe I can fix that.

Also, I just finished up a slightly updated version (v1.0.1) that fixes a bug that I completely missed in displaying the Yahoo! button. I'll attach it to my initial post as soon as I can figure out how to edit that post. I can't find a modify button anywhere, and I haven't been around the forums long enough to know if that's been disabled or something.
Title: Re: Easy RSS feed
Post by: flaquito on May 18, 2007, 06:38:01 am
Well, until I can modify my initial post, here's version 1.0.1. md5sum is f8699f6bd19e420b019203635d113fc0.

This fixes the problem with the Yahoo! button not displaying, plus it removes my clear.gif and uses the already-existing spacer.gif.

Edit: Deleted attachment. Please see initial post for most recent version.

I have removed it. The plugin breaks the link in the user files. After installing this plugin I get this error when opening user galleries:

The selected album/file does not exist !

Thanks for your contribution. Regular users can't edit their postings, because of abuse of this feature in the past. I have added you to the contributor group, you should now be able to edit your postings accordingly. Moving thread to plugin contributions.

Great work

Post by: flaquito on May 18, 2007, 08:39:35 am
Well, after looking at it more carefully, it appears that the original rss.php file that I used was much more broken than I thought, and doesn't currently support categories. So, at least for now, categories don't have the ability to have rss feeds. This most recent version has those changes, and also fixes the user gallery error that Mark was having. In addition, it now has Dutch support included (thanks, Hein!). Newest version and list of changes/fixes is in the first post.

Well, I don't know anything about mxbb or its coppermine integration, but if you can add code to it, you can reference http://www.yoursite.com/your_cpg/rss.php directly. Assuming that you have access on the php side of things to an album variable, you can call something like rss.php?album=$album. Feel free to PM me and I'll help out more if I can.

Thanks for that :)

Post by: Tranz on June 01, 2007, 09:34:38 am
Thanks for this plugin, flaquito. I don't know if it's a universal issue or not, but the feed wouldn't validate with encoding 'iso-8859-1'. Since Coppermine uses utf, perhaps the plugin should use it, too, since some of the entered text gets affected by changing to a different character encoding.

This was what I changed in rss.php:
Code: [Select]
header ("content-type: text/xml; charset=utf-8");
//maybe you must change the encoding to iso-8859-1.
$rssHeader = <<<EOT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I made additional changes to the rss file so that it is compatible with Google Screensaver, which was requested in another thread: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=44162.msg210132#msg210132
Title: Re: Easy RSS feed

great plugin ... i installed and am using it with no errors.

thanks for your hard work.

as a suggestion for future versions, perhaps creating an admin module to adjust features without having to uninstall/reinstall the mod.

cheers

Hi there!

I did some minor modifications to the package. The changes are as the following:
- Changed Feed-Charset from iso-8859 to UTF-8 (like recent Coppermine versions are, too)
- Added a radio button to choose "Title, if not available: Caption" + implementation for the feed
- Adjusted the english lang file according to above changes
- Added german lang file

I'll attach all the changed files. If you want to add these to your main package, just go ahead :)

P.S.: Argh, 3 attachments max. Gotta make a second post for the german lang file ^^
P.P.S.: Heh, php extensions not allowed for upload. I'll rename them to .php.txt. Just remove the .txt.
Title: Re: Easy RSS feed
Post by: Hijacker on June 10, 2007, 07:13:16 am
And the german lang file...

//edit: If there is a bug anywhere or a mistake in the translations... Please bear with me. I did this at 6-7am and I really need to get some sleep now ;)

That's because javascript code is getting injected right before the xml code. Did you add that somewhere?
Code: [Select]
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var win=null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,pos){
if(pos=="random"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;}
if(pos=="center"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;}
else if((pos!="center" && pos!="random") || pos==null){LeftPosition=0;TopPosition=20}
settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',location=no,directories=no,status=yes,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no';

Post by: celebrienne on June 30, 2007, 09:02:22 pm
Hi there,

thanks for the plugin, just installed it and it works so far, but I've got some question and/or suggestions which features might be useful to add. I know the plugin is called "easy" RSS feed, but anyway...

-> Is there a way to display the album's name as the title of each feed item? Right now my feed items have no titles/captions in the feed reader because I don't give them titles or captions (and I'm not planning to do so because of the number of images which are added everyday).
-> Is there a way to display a full album per feed item? I often batch 30-60 images per album and having each image delivered as a separate feed item isn't really ideal; it makes the feed look kinda spammy and overwhelming if you got like 300 new feed items in your feed reader ;-)

If I got you right, this plugin doesn't work for categories right now. I really encourage you to implement this feature if you can. My image gallery is celebrity related (where celebrity = category) and the main reason I wanted a RSS feed plugin for coppermine, is because I want my visitors who are fans of a certain celebrity be able to subscribe via RSS to a certain celebrity, so he/she will always be notified if new images of his favorite celebrities are published.

OK, that's it for right now. Thanks for the plugin again!

Bye,
Celebrienne

Hi All, I'm having problems with this plugin.

After doing a few modifications as per TranzNDance's suggested in a previous thread (javascript getting injected before the plugin) I thought the rss was working but still not working and gives me an xml error instead...

Surprisingly it only works with Safari browser, not FF nor IE7...

Can you please check this out for me...Thanks so much in advance! I really need this plugin working in my site

Post by: ComputerLady on July 02, 2007, 10:37:07 pm
Hi, forgive me for asking what may seem an obvious question, but I'm still rather confused yet excited about this plugin. The best way for me to resolve those would be to see a live demo of what a feed will look like I guess. If anyone would care to share that, I would greatly appreciate it!  :D

My main concern is if images themselves are being shared via the feed, and - if so - which ones. The thumbnails? Larger sizes? I've already taken steps to better protect the content stored on my site (visible watermarks), and code to block those trying to pass my work off as their own. But, if I'm blasting copies of those files out via a feed that shoots down some of those protection strategies!

Another fear is that removing this plug-in could prove to be a major challenge if tested on a live site. I'm having to rebuild mine (again!) from scratch as my hosting company cross-linked some of my databases during a server move. (Using only ONE database now so that can't happen again!) Needless to say, I don't want to have to toss everything out and start over yet again!

Thanks for comments!

Did you install it correctly? It should go into the root directory of your gallery automatically. Yes, that is where the rss.php file is supposed to go.

I paste the rss.php file in root directory manually

but result you can check.

in left to right sequence...

1st option is totally not working (but it was working previously)

and other both are showing files in first step/page (as in screenshot) but when you click on files they are not open

how can i solve the problem (sorry again)

either i have to reinstall the package or...?

When you run a test on the feed, it has a few errors:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.picsnclips.net%2Frss.php
Nothing that should block anything from linking to it anyway. Almost identical to those I get for the feed on my own site, so I have to assume that's a flaw in the PHP somewhere. But, again, nothing that has caused the plug-in to fail.

I've modified this plugin to show votes per image, I want it to show the rating (pic_rating) and time to. When I add a line for the rating it will show it, but it will knock the votes and time off the rss feed

Code: [Select]
foreach($data AS $picture) {

    $titlefield = $CONFIG[plugin_easyrss_titlefield];

    $caption_text = "<br>".$picture[votes]." ".$lang_plugin_easyrss['votes'];
    $caption_text .= "<br>".date('M d, Y',$picture[ctime]);
    $caption_text = "<br>".$picture[pic_rating]." ".$lang_plugin_easyrss['rating'];

Like this, and all it shows to the rss feed is the pic rating for example 4000, but it wont show the votes or time.

If I move the pic rating line up to the space above like below

Code: [Select]
foreach($data AS $picture) {

    $titlefield = $CONFIG[plugin_easyrss_titlefield];
    $caption_text = "<br>".$picture[pic_rating]." ".$lang_plugin_easyrss['rating'];
    $caption_text = "<br>".$picture[votes]." ".$lang_plugin_easyrss['votes'];
    $caption_text .= "<br>".date('M d, Y',$picture[ctime]);

It will show votes and time...but no rating!

How can I show all three, that is Votes, date and rating?

I'm gueesing its something quite simple that I am missing and an easy fix...but I cant for the life of me work out what it is.

Regards

Wookie

The gallery root probably isn't writable for the script, so it can't copy that file to that location. Review permissions or copy that file manually.

You need to remove whatever is being put out before what should be the first line of the rss file.

Might be whitespace or some other plugin interfering.

Hi
I recently upgraded my Coppermine driven site to v1.4.16, hosted on shared account with Php 4.4.7 and MySQL 4.0, also installed the Easy Rss v1.1 plugin, but the feed doesn't work for index page, it shows this error page: "The selected album/file does not exist !" instead of Last uploads pics
I want to mention that in albums page it works, like http://mysite/rss.php?album=lastup, even for My Favorites, though is nothing in there.
Anyone have a suggestion or advice about this?

Hello,

I've installed the easy rss plugin with an modified rss.php (to make it work with piclens), all went well until I decided to uninstall the plugin, make a little modification and reinstall it. Since then it gives me the "Internal Error 500" each time I tried to acces the rss.php.

I even tried to install the original again, making sure everything was deleted first. Nothing.

Any ideas?

Ps: Looking at the log files of my server didn't really help

Very useful and...easy ;D plugin, but it needs a fix to work with titles containing HTML entities.
In rss.php, change the line
Code: [Select]
              <title>'.($picture[$titlefield]?$picture[$titlefield]:$lang_plugin_easyrss['no'].$lang_plugin_easyrss['label_'.$titlefield]).'</title>to
Code: [Select]
              <title>'.($picture[$titlefield] ? html_entity_decode($picture[$titlefield], ENT_NOQUOTES) : $lang_plugin_easyrss['no'].$lang_plugin_easyrss['label_'.$titlefield]).'</title>
Other fixes and code cleanup required if you want to avoid PHP warnings and to get the feed fully validated.

Does anyone know of a hack or way to get this to work with Google's FeedBurner service?

I have everything set-up correctly.  The only thing I need to do is suppress the original feed that this generates from being shown as an available feed for this site by browsers like Firefox and IE.

I looked at the different files included in this plug-in, but I'm not familiar enough with code to know what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

I've been thinking more about what would be required to get this plug-in to work with Feedburner (http://www.feedburner.com).  Here's what I believe the plug-in needs to do to accomplish that:


OPTIONAL:

If someone is really feeling adventurous, they could allow people who are already using this plug-in to redirect to a Feedburner feed.  To accomplish that, I believe the following would need to occur:


I'm willing to go in and edit the code of the existing plug-in, but I have no idea what I need to change.  If someone could spell out instructions, I would be eternally grateful and happy to donate to their "tip jar."

OKAY- Hold the phone!

I've noticed that if you use the feed generated by this plug-in as the source for a FeedBurner feed, then subscribe to that Feedburner feed in Bloglines, it continually show the same items as "new" over and over again.  As far as I can tell, this only happens in Bloglines. 

The original (non-Feedburner) feed generated by this plug-in works fine in Bloglines.

Easy RSS feed only provides a feed. You're looking for a feed reader/aggregator. Search around for documentation or some sort of plugin for whatever blog software you're using.

For everyone else who's made requests, I'm no longer actively developing this plugin. I've enjoyed reading all of the comments from people who are successfully using it, and I apologize to anyone who has had trouble getting it to work. The plugin does what I need it to do, so I'm not working on it anymore. If I do make any changes, I'll certainly update the download. In the meantime, feel free to modify and distribute it however you'd like.

The original (non-Feedburner) feed generated by this plug-in works fine in Bloglines.

Alright, I think I figured it out.  By default this feed it set up to show number of views on an item.  Every time the view count changed, it would be picked up as a new feed item in Bloglines.  Not sure why Bloglines would show it as new whereas some other feed readers just ignored it.

Anyway, I removed the following line from the rss.php file, removed (deleting the rss file and settings when prompted), then reinstalled the plug-in.  It seems to have corrected the problem.

Code: [Select]
    $caption_text = "<br>".$picture[hits]." ".$lang_plugin_easyrss['views'];
Also when I removed and reinstalled, I was given the option to suppress the auto-detect of the feed generated by this plug-in, so I'm able to use it with Feedburner.  I inserted my own code pointing to the Feedburner feed into my header.

Hello,

I have fixed the problem with categories, it should work now. At least, it works for me :-)

In addition, I have added the album name in the feed title in case one wants to subscribe to several feeds in the same gallery.
You can now also choose to use the picture filename as entry name, it is useful if people don't write titles nor captions.

I've had the same problem to install it. But when you set the language of Coppermine to English, then go to the Plug-in Manager. Install the Easy RSS and then it's been installed. Then you can set the language of Coppermine back to Durch and you have your Easy RSS working.

That did the trick.

I had to switch to the default theme and turn the language switch on to be able to change the language.

Now reconfiguring the feed so that I get the normal pictures and more than 10.

Done :)

I've edited your plugin to a 'new' one which is an image-only feed.
My digital picture frame and http://www.framechannel.com/ (http://www.framechannel.com/) only support this kind of feed.

At framechannel.com you can choose multiple feeds to be shown at random, at my frame I can only choose one feed.
I wanted multiple categories, but not all to be shown at my frame.

Basically I just edited your rss.php and renamed it to framechannelrss.php and created a framechannelrss.gif.
The references to them are also edited.

Now I can just go to the desired album, copy the feed-url and paste it at framechannel.com

The installation is the same as it was with Easy RSS feed:

I guess some of the variables in

Looking at the directory in FTP, all the CHMOD settings seem not to be quite right. I'd have thought that they would need to be 755 to be able to execute, but they all seem to be 644

Any idea what may be going wrong? Is there a way to install this manually in case the plugin manger is at fault?

Thanks in advance.

Cut RSS.PHP from your actual directory, and Past this file in the Gallery's root.
Try it.

Thanks for that...it works...sort of - http://www.brummiesfans.com/gallery/rss.php

Any idea how I can clean up all the broken image links though?

@uk_martin have you removed the "powered by Coppermine" notice from your site..... It is a license requirement to display this. It is the very least you can do especially if you are asking for further assistance from the support team.

Ooops, sorry about that. The footer text was there, but it got caught up with all the rest of the text being changed to red, and the bottom of the page has a red background. I've altered the CSS to show it in yellow.

Actually going back to why I have broken image links, I think I've worked out the problem. They are links to WMV files in the gallery. How can the feed be restricted to showing just JPG/GIF/PNG's?

Thanks

OK, thanks for that. I've started downloading the latest version, and I'll get onto the upgrade a little later.

Anyway...a summary of the problems with this so that I don't forget...
1) to find a way to limit thumbnails to photos and not videos
2) to see why, when an thumbnail is clicked, I get a 404 "Not Found" error page with a line indicating (for example) - "The requested URL /gallery/displayimage-2976.html was not found on this server."

Still, one thing at a time...

Title: Re: Easy RSS feed

1). find

Code: [Select]
foreach($data AS $picture) {


Change to

Code: [Select]
foreach($data AS $picture) {

    if (!is_image($picture['filename'])) {
        continue;
    }

2) Same reason all your files are broken at the moment - SEF urls plugin. Fix or disable it.

Thanks for all the help guys. And thanks to the creators of the plugin!

I did the update (no thanks to a flakey FTP server which kept bombing out lol, but I got there eventually)

Thanks also to Nibbler for the fixes to the problems that I was having. The results of it all can now be seen on the Photo Wall on my home page - www.brummiesfans.com

Hi,

Is it possible to change in rss.php something so that the link is the album title and not the file title?

Also so that the entry would show say 3 thumbs of that album, then the next entry in rss is the next last updated album instead of repeating? If your last update had 50 files you would never see more then updates on one album the way it is currently setup

Current example:
http://selenagomezweb.com/photos/rss.php


I realized it was reading the file title but there doesn't seem to be an option for the album title, then summarize what was added to that album and move onto the next album that was updated.

currently running Coppermine 1.4.19
I have installed Easy Rss v1.1 and it creates an Rss link as well as all other links, without "/" causing a Page not found error.
See example:
http://starqualityentourage.com/Starpicsrss.php
as opposed to
http://starqualityentourage.com/Starpics/rss.php

Then all subsequent urls are incorrect in this same way
example:
http://starqualityentourage.com/Starpicsdisplayimage.php?pos=-1
as opposed to
http://starqualityentourage.com/Starpics/displayimage.php?pos=-1



Please help me to modify the php page that controls this.  FUnny thing is I installed it in antoher galler about a year ago and it worked. anyway please help.

Hello,
I have just browsed the plugin-download page posted a few days ago (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89658&package_id=314386&release_id=668547)

I think the version of easy_rss could be upgraded to 1.2, as I posted a few enhancements some time ago on http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,43848.msg276204.html#msg276204.
What is the "official" to notify a new version?

Suddenly plugin icons (RSS, My Yahoo, etc.) have stopped displaying at the bottom of my gallery pages, as long as <link> line in <head> section.
I don't know exactly when this happened, I didn't install more plugins after Easy RSS. Reinstalled plugin without any effect.
Any idea for troubleshooting?

Hello all,

This is a great plugin, but I ran into the problem of thumbs not showing for files other than images. This wasn't going to work for me as I have PDF's and also modded for Youtube videos (files have a .youtube file extention). So I modded the rss.php to make it work for all files regardless of file extension and it works great. The only problem I have found is if the file name has an "_" in it. Other than that it works just fine.

My RSS Feed: http://top10ufo.com/photos/rss.php (http://top10ufo.com/photos/rss.php)

What you will need to modify in rss.php:

After:
Code: [Select]
$lower_limit = 0;
Add this function:
Code: [Select]
function strip_ext($name)
  {
       $ext = strrchr($name, '.');
       if($ext !== false)
       {
           $name = substr($name, 0, -strlen($ext));
       }
       return $name;
   }

After:
Code: [Select]
    $thumb_url = "$image_url$picture[filepath]$CONFIG[thumb_pfx]$picture[filename]";
Add:
Code: [Select]
    $thumb_url = strip_ext($thumb_url)."";
Find:
Code: [Select]
    $description = '<a href="' . $link_url . $picture['pid'] . '"><img src="' . $thumb_url . '" border="1" vspace="2" hspace="2"> <align="center" ></a><br>';
Change to:
Code: [Select]
    $description = '<a href="' . $link_url . $picture['pid'] . '"><img src="' . $thumb_url . '.jpg" border="1" vspace="2" hspace="2"> <align="center" ></a><br>';


I hope this helps anyone else who needed this functionality

Thanks for the grate plugin but i have one problem.
I install y'r plugin on my gallery and everything seems to work except that i cant change the encoding http://www.abroadbg.com/rss.php . How can i change the encoding to UTF-8 because my gallery is in cyrillic and the encoding is UTF-8.

Thanks in advance :)
Title: Re: Easy RSS feed
Post by: Joe Carver on November 09, 2009, 04:01:57 pm
Edit file: plugins/Easy_RSS/rss.php

Look for this section:
Code: [Select]
//maybe you must change the encoding to iso-8859-1.
$rssHeader = <<<EOT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?>
<rss version="2.0"
    xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
    xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
>

I hope this helps - however I cannot say with certainty this will solve your problem.
The link returned this error:
Quote
XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://www.abroadbg.com/rss.php
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?>
Which might mean something other than an error with the encoding type.
Good Luck

I don't know if this will help but I found that the charset issue with this plugin (which is great by the way) can be easily solved by commenting out keywords in rss.php. By doing that I managed to get a feed that was validated by feedburner.

in rss.php find:
Code: [Select]
$keywords = explode(" ",trim($picture[keywords])); 
and simply comment it out:
Code: [Select]
//$keywords = explode(" ",trim($picture[keywords])); 
It worked for me.

Same concern with celebriene. I love this plugin but I have a screen caps gallery and I usually upload 50-200 photos per album per update. Is there a way to make the feed list just the albums? thanks in advance!


Hi there,

thanks for the plugin, just installed it and it works so far, but I've got some question and/or suggestions which features might be useful to add. I know the plugin is called "easy" RSS feed, but anyway...

-> Is there a way to display the album's name as the title of each feed item? Right now my feed items have no titles/captions in the feed reader because I don't give them titles or captions (and I'm not planning to do so because of the number of images which are added everyday).
-> Is there a way to display a full album per feed item? I often batch 30-60 images per album and having each image delivered as a separate feed item isn't really ideal; it makes the feed look kinda spammy and overwhelming if you got like 300 new feed items in your feed reader ;-)

If I got you right, this plugin doesn't work for categories right now. I really encourage you to implement this feature if you can. My image gallery is celebrity related (where celebrity = category) and the main reason I wanted a RSS feed plugin for coppermine, is because I want my visitors who are fans of a certain celebrity be able to subscribe via RSS to a certain celebrity, so he/she will always be notified if new images of his favorite celebrities are published.

OK, that's it for right now. Thanks for the plugin again!

Bye,
Celebrienne

Are you playing stupid on purpose? Stop cluttering this announcement thread if you can't respect basic board rules. For the lazy like you, let me quote the part of the board rules that you constantly ignore:
8. Post links
When posting a support request, it's helpfull for supporters in most cases to see what the actual page looks like, that's why it's mandatory that you always post a link to your coppermine gallery page when asking for support. If your site contains adult content, make sure to post a warning together with your link!

Supporters might get into issues if they accidentally visit a page that interferes with their employer's internet policy. If your site contains adult content (even mild nudity even falls into this category), post the words "not safe for work" next to the link.
