FTP Upstream Script Update

Earlier this week, I quietly released a revision to my ftpUpstream script for the OPML Editor. Details are available and comments or questions should be posted here.

Yabfog Tools Update

I’ve updated Yabfog Tools for the OPML Editor. It’s a minor update to turn off the automatic re-installation of the new conversions since this is no longer necessary with the new updating procedure in the OPML Editor.

Thanks to iconophobia and the inlineRSS plugin for some code and ideas.

OPML Sidebar Revisions I made some revisions to my OPML sidebar hack. I added a more graceful failure when the checkCache function cannot retreive the OPML file, and I also changed the $maxage variable so that its value can be passed via the function call.
