Launching XFROCKS

So after a loooong time, I finally launch XFROCKS (again) with the help of Sylvie. The site is actually an experiment which provides premium support (premium = fast, accurate, personal) for freely released add-ons of mine. Only widely used add-ons got their own forum for questions:


To assist with the cost of running the site, 3 other add-ons are also available for sale:

  • Trophy Extension ($29) for [bd] Medal System: allow people to attach medals to trophies and have them show up in the posts etc.
  • User Group Extension ($29) for [bd] Medal System: similar to the above but with user group. When users purchase user group upgrade or have user group set by administrators, they will have additional medal image show up.
  • Last but not least, [bd] Attachment Store (only $19!): a completely new add-on allows sites to utilize Amazon S3/FTP as attachment storages. I have written 2 additional HOWTO post about using the add-on with Amazon S3+CloudFlare and Amazon S3+CloudFront.
The welcome post is pretty short but to the point: let's see how this goes!

The source tree is merged from the  mudim Google Code tree This add-on does not just insert a simple <script /> tag into every page of your site. It went far than that and create a few additional option in account/preferences page so logged in users will be able to configure their typing preferences once and for all (so if a user uses multiple machine, it still works as expected). **** Add-on này tích hợp bộ gõ mudim cho XenForo.

OAuth with Google, Twitter and... Facebook!

This is sick! Just a few days ago, I ran into OAuth as I want to get my GMail feed based on Google Data API . I succeeded. With a little help of an OAuth open source ( here , available in several programming languages). Then I remember that I once heard that Twitter also uses OAuth as an authentication option so I turned into Twitter and had a good read. Finally, I found out that they are basically the same (hehe, it's obvious since OAuth 1.0 is a worldwide standard). I had an idea of writing a universal class which can handle both Google and Twitter OAuth functionalities. It's not too hard. I took most of the idea from the PHP example ( here , PHP only). I also made a small script which accepts URI to send and intercept response from Google & Twitter servers. At that moment, I was so excited with all the ideas but actually it has no real world benefit so I just left it there... Until today, in the F8 (says "fate") conference of Facebook, I was stunned fin...
