The default Serendipity mark-up plugin (event_s9ymarkup) currently breaks URLs that contain underscores.
So
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statler_%26_Waldorf
will end up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statler</u>%26_Waldorf
because of a faulty regex.
Garvin Hicking does not really want to fix this. (See this s9y support forum article for arguments pro/contra fixing it). So if you encounter this problem, your options are:
- replace _ in URLs with %5F (aka manually urlencode it)
- remove the plugin or disable it
- patch the plugin
Patching is basically changing
plugins/serendipity_event_s9ymarkup/serendipity_event_s9ymarkup.php:
$text = preg_replace('/\b_([\S ]+?)_\b/','<u>\1</u>',$text);
to
$text = preg_replace('/\ _([\S ]+?)_\ /',' <u>\1</u> ',$text);
If you want to be writing things like "Haha[lol]" (which I have no real use for ...), extend the "\ " with whatever you'd like to be o.k. to delimit bolded words beyond blanks. It should only be symbols that are not valid in URLs (so none of "$-_.+!*'()," which are all valid in URLs according to RFC 1738).
You may also want to consider replacing one underscore ("_") with two or more ("__") to make the detection, that you actually wanted to write bold text, more reliable.
Xing has just updated it's image-thumbnails naming "algorithm" once again:
You'll now find thumbnails named /2f1127fe2.3144098_s2,2.jpg, so including another component like <comma><digit> added to the name. Thus the Greasemonkey script linked from my article Greasemonkey to enlarge Xing pictures needs to have it's main regex amended:
Change \_s(1|2|3)?\. to read \_s(1|2|3)?(,\d)?\. in three places in the script.
Or download an updated version here. I hope "louis" will update the version hosted at userscripts.org, too.
Updates
02.05.2008 As Xing adds multi-digit numbers to the thumbnails now (like /7553bd445.4550412_s2,10.jpg), you need to replace \d with \d+ in the above regex. The linked Greasemonkey script is updated.
16.11.2011 And again the URLs changed. This time appending a pattern like ,4.57x75.jpg. The linked script again was updated. If Scriptish and the auto-updating in Greasemonkey mature, I'll add auto-updating to the script file via the @updateURL parameter.
13.05.2012 The Xing layout is still changing as they Ajaxify the site more and more. Currently the Xing XE is probably the best working enhancement to see Xing pictures in a recognisable size.
The remote keyless entry system KeeLoq is being used by Chrysler, Daewoo, Fiat, General Motors, Honda/Infiniti, Jaguar, Toyota/Lexus, Volvo and Volkswagen. A number of garage door opening systems and the like also use this technology. It is based on a secret cipher that has now been compromised by an international IT security research team. Two intercepted messages are deemed sufficient to clone a KeeLoq RFID tag as there are general keys inserted by the manufacterer and the key structure is partially determined by make and model. A stronger KeeLoq implementation (still) needs physical access to the key but only for a few minutes. It's also possible to permanently lock the legitimate owner out of his car or building and render his KeeLoq RFID useless. Details can be found at the researchers site and the folks at Wikipedia have also amended their KeeLoq article.
