Exaile 'Add Directory' Plugin

Lucas van Dijk — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:16:39 +0200

Exaile is my favorite music player for Linux, and it makes a LOT of hours on my computer. But there's one thing that annoyed me, you couldn't select multiple directories, and add all tracks in it to the playlist.

But Exaile has a great plugin system, so I created a plugin for it. You can now choose File -> Open Directory, select the directories you want to add, and all files in the selected directories will be added to (optionally new) playlist. This function differs from the built in 'Import directory' feature, because the Import Directory function can only import one directory.

To install it, place the file in the ~/.exaile/plugins directory.

PP Reader

This script reads save files from Pocket Physics, a very cool Nintendo DS Homebrew game.

- It reads the built in thumbnail
- It can create a large preview by reading all elements itself.

You'll need this image:

Accordion for script.aculo.us

Lucas van Dijk — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 23:32:03 +0100

Everybody knows the Accordion effect from mootools. In the past I used script.aculo.us pretty much, and I couldn't find a good accordion effect, which worked the same like the mootools version. So I decided the create one, and this is the result.

How to Use
You'll need script.aculo.us, which you can download here.

Put the following in your <head> tag:

Toggle highlightingCode

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/accordion.js"></script>

 
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/accordion.js"></script>
 

Create the html for the accordion:

Toggle highlightingCode

<div id="accordion">
    <h3>Title 1</h3>
    <p>Text 1</p>
    
    <h3>Title 2</h3>
    <p>Text 2</p>
    
    <h3>Title 3</h3>
    <p>Text 3</p>    
</div>

 
<div id="accordion">
    <h3>Title 1</h3>
    <p>Text 1</p>
    
    <h3>Title 2</h3>
    <p>Text 2</p>
    
    <h3>Title 3</h3>
    <p>Text 3</p>    
</div> 
 

And add before the </body> tag this code:

Toggle highlightingCode

<script type="text/javascript">
new Accordion("div#accordion h3", "div#accordion p");
</script>

 
<script type="text/javascript">
new Accordion("div#accordion h3", "div#accordion p");
</script>

MySQL Database Class

Lucas van Dijk — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 23:32:03 +0100

This is a set of classes which make communicating with a MySQL Database a lot easier.

It's divided into four classes:
- MySQLDatabase, the main class, which connects to your MySQL server and selects the database etc.

- MySQLResult, when you execute a query which returns rows, this object will be returned. From this object, you can fetch rows, and a lot more. This class also implements the Iterator interface, so you can use this class in a foreach statement.

- MySQLStatement, a class which can be used for parameter binding, repetitive mysql queries etc.

- MySQLException, an exception class, which will be thrown when an error occurs.

You can connect to multiple servers, and select multiple databases, also transactions are supported, but transactions only work with InnoDB as engine.
