$JoomlaAkismetAPI = JoomlaAkismetAPI::getJoomlaAkismetAPI();
$JoomlaAkismetAPI->isKeyValid("123456789");


NEW: Using Akismet PHP 5 engine version 0.4 (author Alex Potsides http://www.achingbrain.net/)

  • Performance - changed HTTP version from 1.1 to 1.0 (with thanks to Jan De Poorter).
  • Performance - No longer issues a separate HTTP request to check validity of the API key with every instantiation.
  • Added a new public method 'isKeyValid' to manually check validity of the API key passed to the constructor.
  • The method 'isCommentSpam' (rather than the constructor) will now throw an exception if the API key is invalid.
  • Tidied up internal structure a bit.

Nasty Bug in SecurityImages 5.1.2

software_bugs_dilbert

Thanks to Margus Pala, a security Flaw has been reported and corrected in SecurityImages version 5.1.2 and previous

The flaw is of moderate level, in register forms, spammers are able to register without solving the Captcha!

  • It affect only SecurityImages 5.x for Joomla! 1.5
  • SecurityImages 6.x for Joomla! 1.6 is not affected

In order to resolve this issue, you don’t have to install any new version of SecurityImages, you must either

  • Update your blog with the right version of the joomla! patches, the all end with Joomla_1.5.x-Stable-Full_PackageForSecurityImages5.y.z_v01.03.00

OR

  • Edit the file components\com_user\controller.php and remove the line 274 ($this->register())
if ($useSecurityImagesInRegister && !$this->checkSecurityImagesCaptcha()) {
  JError::raiseWarning('', JText::_('SECURITYIMAGES REJECT USER ENTRY'));  
  $this->register();
  return false;
}

These patches versions have the flaw

InstaSearch bring Apache Lucene search power to Eclipse

Among the 1246 plugins (!) available for Eclipse, I found this one that I really like to use since it has immediately boost my productivity in Eclipse.

InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for doing fast text search in the workspace. The search is performed instantly as-you-type and resulting files are displayed in an Eclipse view. It is a lightweight plug-in based on Apache Lucene search engine. Each file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file.

It's really instant and it searches through all the files in the workspace, by default it index the following file extensions (but you can add your own)

aj,ant,bat,bookmap,c,cfg,cmd,confluence,cpp,css,dbk,dita,ditamap,ditaval,dtd,ecore,ecore2ecore,
ecore2xml,emof,ent,exsd,fo,genmodel,h,hpp,htm,html,htpl,inc,ini,java,js,jsf,json,jsp,jspf,jspx,jsv,jtpl,log,
macrodef,mathml,mediawiki,meta,mf,mml,mod,ncx,nvdl,opf,php,php3,php4,php5,phps,phtml,pl,pom,prefs,
product,properties,py,rnc,rng,sch,sh,shtm,shtml,sql,sqlj,svg,tag,tagf,tagx,tagxf,target,textile,tld,tracwiki,tsd,twiki,
txt,vxml,wml,wsdd,wsdl,wsil,wsimsg,wssc,wssr,xhtml,xmi,xml,xpl,xproc,xq,xql,xqm,xquery,xqy,xsd,xsl,xslt,xtm,xu

eclipse_instasearch

As it use Apache Lucene internally you can build some nice queries:

  • Searching for icefaces could result in 35 hits (items contain the word icefaces )
  • Searching for web.xml results in 3 hits (items contain the word web.xml or file named web.xml )
  • Searching for icefaces web.xml (without quotes) results in 148 hits (items contain the words icefaces or web.xml or both)
  • Searching for icefaces and web.xml results in 3 hits (results contain both words icefaces and web.xml )
eclipse_instasearch_01
  • To exclude search terms just add a “-” in front of it:  icefaces –application
  • To perform a single character wildcard search use the "?" symbol.
  • To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol (looks for 0 or more characters).
  • Finding words that are within a specific distance away. To do a proximity search use the tilde, "~", symbol at the end of a Phrase. For example to search for "Specifies" and "milliseconds" within 5 words of each other in a document use the search: "Specifies" "milliseconds" ~5

eclipse_instasearch_02

Main Features

  • Instantly shows search results
  • Shows suggestions using auto-completion
  • Shows a preview using relevant lines
  • Matches partial words
  • Opens and highlights matches in files
  • Searches jar source attachments

You can install it from Eclipse Marketplace (Menu Help – then Select Eclipse Marketplace and search for InstaSearch)
