Robert Dennis Crumb (official website), who is “an American artist and illustrator recognized for the distinctive style of his drawings and his critical, satirical, subversive view of the American mainstream,” is no exception. - lifeproof from Bookmarklet

these drawings about WWI and WWII will both entertain you and teach you about what happened by those times. Drawings by Agnus McLeod. - lifeproof from Bookmarklet

Pffft - Angus McLeod is quite a brilliant cartoonist - I've enjoyed his WWII series, and his Faces of War series in Storm-Artists for a while: http://angusmcleod.storm-artists.net/ - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

I wonder how to tell FFFF in which category the new posts should go?
Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I'm kind of surprised that's not built into the plugin settings. - Jason Gilman

Just installed Fresh From, and I'm wondering if it's possible to get usernames and timestamps on the tweets it gathers and archives.

Hi, I am looking for a way to add Fresh From Friendfeed to my sidebar. Does anyone know how to do this?
it's not easy to do this, because Fresh From is build to load content directly inside the main loop. try this plugins instead: http://wordpress.org/extend... and http://wordpress.org/extend... - Valentino
Thanks, I added some PHP to my sidebar to do this (using the Samsarian PHP widget): <script type="text/javascript" src="http://friendfeed.com/embed..."></script><noscript><a href="http://friendfeed.com/joshfia..."><img alt="View my FriendFeed" style="border:0;" src="http://friendfeed.com/embed...></a></noscript> - Josh Fialkoff
I am now trying to do this using WordPress Thesis hooks, but that's a project for next weekend. ;-) - Josh Fialkoff
Valentino
Hi Bob! First of all: great job! It's a wonderful plugin, very well coded and commented. I'd like to expand some features for a commercial project, and I'd like to code my addiction in a way that's usable for others. What do you think is the best way to do this? May I join you on the main code, or it's best if I write an extension plugin on my own?
Hey, Thanks and yes that's a great idea. How about we move over to Google Code which gives some good visibility of what's being worked on? Let me know your account details and I can add you to http://code.google.com/p... - Bob Hitching
I'm currently on a business trip and away from my dev pc so maybe you can have a crack at svnsync to get the repo from Wordpress over to Google Code. - Bob Hitching
(You'll also need to check that your commercial project is okay within GNU v2.) - Bob Hitching
Hi Bob! That's great! This is me on google code: http://code.google.com/u... ( valentino.aluigi@gmail.com ) The first thing I'd like to add is some custom filters, so that other developers can easily plug into the code without changing it. Of course, I don't want to distort the nature of the plugin, so if I need some changes that are not part of the main core I'll add... more... - Valentino from email

Is it possible to change the title link so that it points to the wordpress post and not the friendfeed site? I want each entry to be treated as a blog post, but everytime I click on the title to expand, I get taken to friendfeed.

Thanks for this great plugin...I'm still having some problems with slashes in my Feed, every ' gets prefaced by a / is this to do with the plugin or something else? Any help would be very much appreciated - thank you.

I have multiple feeds on a published friends page (http://sunshinegypsy.com/friends ); I would love to have an additional tag option to tag by username so that I could pull up a page of each feed all at once!
Kevin Fraser
The title currenly links back to Twitter as well as the comments. Can you make an option so the feed creates an actual post? This feed also messes up my sitemap file.
Clément Biger
Hey Bob, thanks for the great plugin, but I've got a question. I would love to find a way to display my Flickr, Twitter and Google Reader updates in between blog posts, so your plugin definitely is a solution. However, I would really like to format each of these updates differently. This is possible by setting separate categories for each service.
Unfortunately, this seems to be the only thing missing from your plugin to finally make my day. I've thought of installing two instances of your plugin, but I guess this is pretty risky, and maybe not even possible at all. Do you see what I want to achieve and know a way I can make it happen ? Thanks a lot in advance ! - Clément Biger
Brendan Loy
Okay, here's the question I've been puzzling over since I first installed this plugin (and one that would allow me to solve my other issue below, too). Which specific parts of the plugin source code do I need to edit in order to subtract 6 hours from the timestamp on FriendFeed-imported posts -- but NOT Twitter-imported posts -- thus effectively...
...converting the posts from GMT to MDT, without causing the import engine to get confused and think the post in question hasn't been imported yet, thus resulting in endless duplication of each post? (I gather this a possibility because, when I manually change the timestamp, it will then re-import the item with the old timestamp.) - Brendan Loy
Brendan Loy
Is there any way to *exclude* all tweets with a particular hashtag or hashtags (rather than *including* only those with certain hashtags)?
Brendan; good question! If you select 'Twitter Search' as the feed type you can use any variety or combination of Twitter Advanced Search from http://search.twitter.com/advance... - Bob Hitching
You can also construct Advanced Search queries in this way to import retweets, tweets of a particular language, or tweets near a particular location, etc. - all the Twitter Advanced Search goodness. - Bob Hitching
Is that a feature in the new version? I'm still using 1.1.6, and am loath to upgrade because I've made a bunch of changes to the code in order to tweak the plugin for my particular purposes. But the Twitter Search feature sounds great, so maybe I'll have to upgrade and try to re-create my tweaks. :) Thanks! - Brendan Loy
Question: if I use the Twitter Search feed type, can I still exclude tweets that START with @someone, but NOT exclude tweets that INCLUDE @someone later in the tweet (just not at the beginning)? I don't see a Twitter Advanced Search option for that, so I think I would still be relying on Fresh From's "Exclude @replies from Twitter" feature, and I'm wondering if that will still work if I'm using the Twitter Search feed type. - Brendan Loy
Argh, I realized I can do it in 1.1.6, and it almost works, except... tweets from my Twitter search stream post in the correct time zone, whereas the FriendFeed items continue to post in GMT, as they always have. This is a problem because I've switched my whole blog to GMT in order to avoid the FF posts being out of order. But if I use the Twitter Search stream, now the *Twitter* posts are out of order!! Argh. - Brendan Loy

Pietro Saccomani
Hi, there seem to be a couple of bugs in this great plugin (great job!!). I just installed it and there are 2 issues on my blog. 1) from the homepage and the feed as well, the post title is linked to my friendfeed page instead of the "fresh from friendfeed" post 2) links I added to my friendfeed are not displayed as such (no link).
Regarding #2, please check http://www.voipblog.it/ultimis... - I checked the source code and the URL for each link is there, but the link is added to the small FF logo next to each post. Any chance I can fix this? - Pietro Saccomani
to clarify: I would like the link to be added to the title of each "link" entry - Pietro Saccomani
Re: Links added to the title - I was able to do this be editing the source code. Go into fresh-from.php and around line 2040 you should see "$title = (string) $entry->title;". Right after that line I added "$title = "<a href=\"{$link}\">$title</a>";" and that seems to have done the trick. - ichi

v1.1.8 of Fresh From has been released, fixing some critical problems that became evident when Wordpress is upgraded to the latest version 2.8.x
1. Fixed up the Admin page to show all of the Help options (which were hidden by the WP2.8 upgrade) – please use those Help options if you have any further problems on WP2.8 - Bob Hitching
2. Images are now appearing correctly in WP2.8 - thanks to Tobias for finding and fixing the slashes problem - Bob Hitching
3. Also includes the new Admin option ‘Overwrite post title prefix’ - Bob Hitching
4. Tested on WP2.7.x and WP2.8.x including WP2.7/2.8 upgrade - Bob Hitching
Bob Hitching
Hi everyone, Sorry for the delay in responding to these latest issues. I’ve been busy on the day job mostly. However it’s now Saturday night, my wife is out with her friends, the kids are all asleep, I have beef vindaloo and a glass of cab sav, so let’s see what can be accomplished.
The first priority is to make sure things are working on WP 2.8.x, as from the comments below it looks like there are some problems. Then there's a pending test version to release. - Bob Hitching
Tim G.
Great plugin: I noticed that there are no links in my wordpress entry...no images either..
Mike Baker
Hey people, question for all of you: has anyone ever gotten support from the author of the plugin here? Just wondering if it makes any sense to keep checking back...
not me, some support would be urgently needed though based on the amount of open question here. - samim
A long time ago. Maybe its abandoned? - EricaJoy
Pierre-Luc Gagné
I seem to have a very weird problem I think that relates to the charset of my blog. I think you have to see for yourself what is happening. Just go to http://plgagne.com and you'll see what I mean. As you can see, the browser says that it does not have the right plug-in, and my posts coming from Friendfeed do not display the ' sign correctly.
I'm having the same issue. It (or something else) seems to be escaping single and double quotes sometime after the initial import. It messes up the display of photes and all the icons. It's a great plugin otherwise but this is driving me nuts. - Steve Mermelstein
So, how can we help solve the problem ? It's starting to drive me nuts as well. - Pierre-Luc Gagné
I'm using Fresh From FriendFeed and Twitter 1.1.7 on WP 2.8. I've tried disabling all other plugins but it still happens so I believe it's either Fresh or WP 2.8 causing it but I can't find any suspect code in either. What versions are you running? - Steve Mermelstein
search for the funcition addslashes( ) in fresh-from.php and delete only the funcions - Tobias Lindner
Tobias, that did the trick for me. Thanks! - Ryan Kessler
Worked for me too! Thanks! - Steve Mermelstein
It worked for me as well, thank you for the brisk response. - Pierre-Luc Gagné
Chris Chandler
Hi - I tried installing the plugin and now see "Please update your Fresh From settings - start by adding a Feed" at the top of every page. I clicked the link and also tried the same link under the settings only to find a blank page. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Still looking for an answer to this question, or has anyone else experienced the same problem? - Chris Chandler
Have same problem, how to solve - Robert Nelson
Chris & Robert: sorry for the delay, just got back from o/seas trip and still catching up with everything. The debug code is all on that page which you cannot see which makes this tricky. Could you send the link URL and any View Source code on that blank page via http://hitching.net/contact/ so I can investigate? - Bob Hitching
Hi Bob - I've sent you the info you requests. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with. - Chris Chandler
Chris: I'm not having much luck replicating your problem yet - see email for some more things we can try. - Bob Hitching
I'm having the same problem. Using Simple Balance 2.2.1. - Rock Langston
