Seems like the Cog Dog and teachinghacks.com having been doing a little sharing about their WordPress plugins, which I find extremely useful -so thanks. I have been talking a bit lately about some of the plugins I have recently discovered here, here, and here -but the following list is a quick and dirty look at what’s beneath the hood of bavatuesdays:

How about you? -what plugins do you keep in your backend?
Hi It seems as though spam karma for mu was taken off. But searching for a solution I came across Trubar. http://mnogo.truden.com/archives/151.html
One commenter said it’s not code it’s logic. You need to hack the:
wp-comments-post . php (root directory)
wp-login . php (root directory)
comments . php (theme directory)
And for that reason I am not sure if it will work in Mu.

Johan
Johan,
I’m actually using Spam karma for MU, where did you read it was taken off? What I do is install it as a regular plugin and activate it throughout the environment every so often to keep the evil spammers at bay. You might also look into Akismet and Bad Behavior. i haven’t heard of Trubar, but I’ll be sure to check it out.
Thanks…
If you go to this link for Spam Karma 2 for WPMU
http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3409&page&replies=27
and then go to the download link http://wpmudev.org/project/Spam-Karma-2-for-WPMU
it’s gone.
I downloaded to standard wordpress plugin in the mean time.
You said: I install it as a regular plugin and activate it throughout the environment every so often.
Does this means that you upload it to plugins and not mu-plugins.
And when you said: activate it throughout the environment….I am not sure what you mean as I am not yet there ;-(
Thanks for your response.
Hi Got it. I downloaded it to plugins and everyone can activate it on their blogs. Thanks Johan
