OpenID for non-SuperUsers

Based on the results of my Unobtrusive <a class="zem_slink" title="OpenID Foundation" rel="homepage" href="http://openid.net">OpenID post, it is quite evident that there is a lot of partial <a class="zem_slink" title="Knowledge" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge">knowledge about OpenID out there. While my knowledge on the subject is far from complete, this post is my attempt to share what I have learned with others.

The target audience for the bulk of this post is people who are capable of adding autodiscovery links to their blog templates, may be able to install a small <a class="zem_slink" title="PHP" rel="homepage" href="http://www.php.net/">PHP script and/or know what a <a class="zem_slink" title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol">HTTP <a class="zem_slink" title="List of HTTP headers" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_headers">header is.

Adding a sub-menu in the wordpress admin menu :)

For the impatient ones, first the code:
(in wp-admin folder, open the file menu.php) and locate the code:

$submenu[&#8217;edit.php&#8217;][10]  = array( _x(&#8217;Add New&#8217;, &#8217;post&#8217;), &#8217;edit_posts&#8217;, &#8217;post-new.php&#8217; );

and add the below:

$submenu[&#8217;edit.php&#8217;][7]  = array( _x(&#8217;Pending&#8217;, &#8217;post&#8217;), &#8217;edit_posts&#8217;, &#8217;edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=post&#8217; );

And now the explanation and why do you need this 🙂

Problem:

There is no direct mechanism to access the pending posts in WP admin. I generally post through email and mark them as pending. So, whenever I go to my admin POSTs page, I will look through the list of pending items and post them as and when required. For this, when I am done with changes in one item, I need to either modify the address bar or need to go to posts link and then click the Pending items.

Verify all the paths in the PATH directory

Here is the command to test that all the directories in your path actually exist.

(<a class="zem_slink freebase/en/internal_field_separator" title="Internal field separator" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_field_separator">IFS=:;for p in $PATH; do test -d $p || echo $p; done)

And the explanation :

Set the IFS to &#8221;:&#8221;

now we loop through the PATH variable

and test all the directories with &#8221;test -d&#8221;

Here is another version without IFS:

for i in ${PATH//:/ };do test  -d $i || echo $i;done
