Free myspace editor software for linux

MySpace Blog Editor is an extension which allows you to post directly from within Firefox to your MySpace blog.

The MySpace Blog Editor allows you to post directly from within Firefox to your MySpace blog aswell as save notes, drag and drop formatted text from webpages, handle images and much more.

Site Editor is a CGI script which allows a user to manage their web space without needing ftp access.

With only a web browser you can browse your web space, edit text files, upload files, and create and remove directories. Site Editor also has ZIP support making it easy to grab an entire directory tree.

Site Editor is completely functional but is missing some features and polish which would make it easier to use. Currently it requires access control to be handled by the web server. On top of this the code is a little raw, hence this is not a 1.0 release.

To configure for your system the "site_editor" script needs to be modified slightly. In the "Config" section edit the following variables:

$BASE_DIR Root directory for editing files.
$BASE_URL Web location for $BASE_DIR files. Can be relative or absolute.
$TITLE Title prefix to be used for each page.
$ICON_URL Location of icons. It may be relative or absolute.
$ZIP The full path to your Info-ZIP binary. Comment to disable.

I have included a simple patch to Apaches suexec which will allow the script to be root owned. With suexec and the script owned by root the user wont be able to modify the scripts configuration but will still be able to create and modify their own files.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Ara is an automatic editor of RSS feed. Only the links towards the Web pages must be given to him. The project is able to retrieve the title and the description of the pages and to produce a syndication file in the RSS format.

It enables you to select the pages to be syndicated instead of publishing the last articles systematically as the generators included in content managers do it.
The Ara term means "Atom and RSS API", it is also the name of a species of parrots from South America.

Using Ara

The program is a set of PHP scripts which have to be stored on a Web site. One creates a feed from the browser by entering the URL of the interface, ara.php.
It is easier to use the program with two browsers, one to display the pages to include and to copy the URLs from the URL input field, the other to edit the RSS file. Thus by just a cut and paste action one transfers the URL from the field to the interface and one clicks on "Add" to add it to the list.

The EDIT button on the left of the link makes it possible to modify the title and description if one wants.

To generate the feed, one enters the nam.

Warning
Ara is not a simple editor, when a page is added, it is reads for extracting useful information and for this purpose Ara makes use of Ajax (with the Anaa framework ), but Ajax can read files only from the site where it is installed. Actually the goal is to build the feed of the site, just avoid to give URL to other sites.

How it works

It is an Ajax script with a backend in PHP 5. In the current version only the pages of the website where it is installed can be added to the feed.

It is necessary to be authenticated to use it, to this goal the install.php program allows to register a login and a password. This file must absolutely be be erased. Once registered, the user remains registered for the whole session, even if he reads other pages meanwhile.

To generate the contents automatically, the program loads the pages given in the list and reads in the head section the contents of the title and description tags. If they are missing, the first H1 tag in the body of the page will be used for the title instead.

The same if description misses, the text of the synopsis will be taken from the page instead.

MySpace Data Mining Tools are a set of Java classes designed to mine information from MySpace profile and blog pages using a multi-threaded Web page access method.
Enhancements:
- Direct database connectivity via JDBC was implemented for data storage.
- A basic user profile class was created to handle both user data compression and database access.
- Minor bugs were fixed for some of the raw data accessing routines.

PlEd is intendet to help to automate tasks of Textmanipulating, which are to special, to be found in ordinary ediors.
The project is mainly an interface to be easily extended with own plugins. Some plugins are shipped for demonstration and stimulus.
To be true, I have to admit, that I would prefer to see my prefered editors to provide such functionality, instead of using two editors.
Main features:
- PlEd is written in Java.
- is copyright under the GPL .
- is meant for hackers, coders, professionals.
- comes with commented source.
Enhancements:
- A configurable interface was added to change the meaning of buttons for inverse meanings.
- Performance and memory usage were improved by using StringBuffer instead of Strings.
- The license was changed to GPL 3.0.
- Minor improvements were made to the IndentationPlugin and Tab2HtmlPlugin plugins.

tX, formerly known as Teddy, is a tabular XML editor. tX XML editor presents the structure and content of XML files in a way that is both visually pleasing and easy to use.
Its features include the abiltiy to view XML in an hierarchical way without extraneous syntax or interface elements, edit data like a spreadsheet, enter data without having to worry about encoding rules, make major structural changes with minimal effort, cut and paste between most spreadsheet applications, and export to HTML.
Main features:
- Teddy is now rebranded as tX - Tabular XML editor.
- Compilation under Qt4.
- Elements without subelements have a closing "../>" instead of .
- Attribute-value quotes changed from to ".
- New menu icons - some original, some from art.gnome.org.
- German language translation.
- A new tab called "Help Text" provides a generic help-system for XML-Files. In this tab it is possible to display user documentation: If either the working-directory or the directory of the current xml file has a sub-directory with the name of the DTD, a right-click on an element ( ) will load and display a file called "element_name.html" in the QTextBrowser-Widget. A right-click on the attribute (attribute-name="...") will jump to the "element_name.html#attribute_name" section of the html help file.

PGID3 is an ID3v1 and v2 tag editor for manipulating the information on files such as MP3s. PGID3 Tag Editor project is written in PHP and uses PHP-GTK, so it can take advantage of the GTK+ Toolkit for rendering a GUI.

The program itself is broken into three parts, a PHP Function Library called Pid Three (Pid3), a PHP CLI interface (PCLID3), and the GTK+ GUI itself. All three parts come together ready to go, so do not go freaking about uber amounts of dependencies to fill. All together they create the PGID3 Tag Editor.

"But Bob," you might say, "PHP is for the web!" Sure it is, but you should then check out the link below for the PHP Command Line Interface. That document describes using PHP to develop shell and desktop applications. Why PHP? Because I like to abuse it, that is a little hobby of mine.

Simply, PGID3 is an ID3 tag editor for MP3 files. The ID3 tags are what tell your media player the information about the tune such as title, album, etc. You can get by with slack tags if you just use a player like XMMS or Winamp, but if you have a portable like an iPod or some kind of database for the files, then correct and neat tags are a must. PGID3 can handle both the v1 and v2 of ID3 tags.

As for the program itself, it is the combonation of three seperate pieces that together work to create a user friendly envrionment to manipulate your ID3 tags. The base of it all is the Pid Three Function library, which is a fully custom set of functions for the reading and writing of ID3 tags. Since these are seperate from the application itself, the actual dirty work of messing with the data can be easily updated as well as easily included into other projects.

The second part of PGID3 is the Command Line Interface that I have lovingly called PCLID3. Using this you can manipulate your tags from the command line without using any type of graphical front end. By not having this built into the GUI, the opportunity is left open to build alternate GUIs, or even just not use any at all.

The third and final piece is the PHP-GTK GUI. This is the actual PGID3 component, though all of the parts together form a complete package under the PGID3 name. I designed this GUI to be light, compact, and solve as many problems in one spot as possible. As a bonus feature, PGID3 has built in intergration with QueryXMMS which is a command line utility for Linux that can ask XMMS what is currently playing so PGID3 can open it. This speeds up editing of playlists considerably.

Enough acronymns, what about features? Well, it is an ID3 editor so the features I would expect to find in one is what it has. It has the ability to read, write, and strip ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags from files. You can open a file from anywhere in the filesystem with a dialog, or using the above mentioned QueryXMMS integration you can zap right to whatever XMMS is playing.

If you leave the comment field blank when you write a tag, it fills it in automaticly with "Tagged by PGID3" which might be an easily disabled in future releases - depends if I get any feedback on that. It also automaticly removes excess whitespace on the end of tags which if I recall correctly happens because Winamp pads with spaces instead of nuls. Anyway it cleans that for you. Stripping a tag automaticly unchecks the related checkbox for writing it back, and the boxes are dynamicly checked as you load a file depending if it already has a v1 or v2 tag.

There are also a few keyboard shortcuts. F1 toggles the Write ID3v1 checkbox, and F2 toggles the Write ID3v2 one. F9 opens the currently playing file in XMMS, and naturally Enter writes tags.

The Posadis Zone Editor is a graphical tool to edit DNS (Domain Name System) zones using DNS update.

Because it uses zone transfers, you can simply edit the DNS zone, and have only the changes transferred to the DNS server.
