Miranda Sync Tool

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:35:43 +0000

Here is my first python-written program for Miranda IM:

Program functions:

You can use a single Miranda profile with all your settings, history and contacts on every computer.
1. MirandaSync is downloading the recent profile from your ftp host and applying patches if there are changes.
2. MirandaSync is checking the difference of the current profile file and the new file and uploads changes as a patch.
3. Does not require full downloading of the profile if a local one exists.

HowTo: Deactivate mobile theme detection

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:46:01 +0000

Since gregarius won’t be updated anymore, new errors occur in combination with browsers like Internet Explorer 8. For example if you browse with Internet Explorer 8 on your Gregarius site, Gregarius shows the mobile theme.
An easy workaround is disabling the mobile detection of Gregarius.

1. Backup your existing themes.php located in your Gregarius root directory.
2. Uncomment LINE 135 of themes.php:

from

elseif (isset($_SESSION['mobile']) || isset($_REQUEST['mobile']) || isMobileDevice()) {
        $media = 'mobile';
    }

 /**  elseif (isset($_SESSION['mobile']) || isset($_REQUEST['mobile']) || isMobileDevice()) {
        $media = 'mobile';
    }
    */

3. save, upload and overwrite themes.php
4. done, now you can browse with internet explorer 7-8 without showing the mobile theme.

HowTo: Change feed update interval

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:24:28 +0000

By default your Gregarius feeds are updated every 60 minutes and there is no way to change this value in the configuraton tab of Gregarius. If you want to keep your feeds more up to date, here is a example to change the feed update interval from 60 minutes to 15 minutes:

1. Backup rss_dbcache.inc located in [gregarius root]\extlib\ directory.
2. Change the following red marked values to the green values of rss_dbcache.inc
or download the modified rss_dbcache.inc

LINE 19:

var $MAX_AGE    = 60; // when are files stale (in minutes), default one hour
var $MAX_AGE    = 15; // when are files stale (in minutes), default one hour

LINE 113:

$dateRefreshed = time() - (60 * 60); // If the refresh interval isn't defined, set it to be 60 mins old.
$dateRefreshed = time() - (15 * 60); // If the refresh interval isn't defined, set it to be 60 mins old.

LINE 123:

$refreshInterval = 60; //$this->MAX_AGE;
$refreshInterval = 15; //$this->MAX_AGE;

3. Save and overwrite rss_dbcache.inc
4. done… now your feeds are beeing updated every 15 minutes by pressing the refresh button on the top of your Gregarius feed site.

Optional:

If you want your feeds beeing updated automatically in the background, you can use the “silent” update mechanism. You can find an explanation here: Gregarius Wiki
