This is a port of the Hellraiser box to Qt / KDE / Kdevelop on SUSE 10.1.

To run the program, use fileroller to unpack the file in a directory and then run the program. The image files must be in the same directory as the program. The instructions are essentially the same as for the Windows Version.

Hellraiser Lament Box Program

The sources are provided here. They are built using KDevelop 3.3.5 and Qt.

There are links in the debug and optimize src directories that point back to the images in the src directory. These may have to be remade after you unpack the archive since links are not relative.

Enjoy.

Here is a simple application using OpenGL that displays the Lament Box with animation of the box opening and closing.

I found out some of the great mystery of mod_rewrite. Here’s an example that works. Turns out there are errors in the documentation, of course, and this article may help avoid the pitfalls that I have discovered.

Google has help and services for Webmasters. Among the things they provide and encourage are sitemaps. However, it’s not as complex as it all seems. WordPress and coppermine, and many other CMSs have scripts that generate these sitemaps. There are tools that run from your computer too, but these can’t know the internal structure of the site database, and so they are inefficient or don’t work for dynamic sites like WordPress and Coppermine.

With over 2000 images in my photo site, it seemed useful to generate a Google Sitemap for the Coppermine gallery. After some searching a plug-in turned up in the Coppermine Forums.

This plug-in is fairly primitive and when I tried it, it failed with an error on Google. Google produced an error about the first URI produced by the script. Also, the entire sitemap was produced as one single line, so error messages or looking at the sitemap with an editor were not user friendly.

I have repaired the script and you can find the new version by the link below. It is advertised to work for CPG 1.2.x, 1.3.x and 1.4.x. For more information, read the forum post above.

To use the script, unzip and upload it to the base coppermine directory on your site and then activate it from the browser with a URL like: http://www.yourdomain.com/cpg144/sitemap.php

Then visit the Google Webmasters Site,

1. create an account, or log in with your google email account,
2. add your site, using the Coppermine base directory, and
3. then verify your site using one of the methods provided and finally
4. point to your sitemap to tell google about it.

Here is the fixed script.

Sitemaps tell google about the content of sites that have dynamic content. You can find out more about services for Webmasters at google. You will need to log into an account to see these pages, but accounts are free.

You will want to look at this page to find plugins or programs to build sitemaps for your site. For example, there is a plugin for WordPress to build sitemaps – WordPress Sitemap Plug-in.

There is also a php file to build sitemaps for Coppermine.

I’ve upgraded the site to WordPress 2.x. All the features, the theme and plug-in’s were tested on a standalone linux system before the switch on the main site.
Enjoy. Although you shouldn’t see any difference at all.
