Breadcrumb NavXT 3.7.0

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

Holy networked sites batman! With Breadcrumb NavXT 3.7.0, you can now have a complete, multi site wide, breadcrumb trail. Also new to this release are custom post type root pages, these are similar to the posts page setting that WordPress has for posts. Other notable features include the ability to use posts as a taxonomy for custom posts, and a settings version checker alerting to incomplete installs.

This version has many under the hood enhancements and bug fixes in regards to saving, and importing settings, installation, detection of unsupported PHP versions, and some rare use cases for Breadcrumb NavXT. Many of the previous upgrade and installation issues have a good workaround in place.

Please note that the following translations have not been updated by their authors:

  • Russian
  • French
  • Spanish (update available in SVN trunk)
  • German
  • Indonesian

If you are fluent in any of these languages and wish to update these translations,  let me know. I am sure many users will be grateful.

You can grab the latest version of Breadcrumb NavXT from the Breadcrumb NavXT page.

Make Teamspeak 3 Use Your QT libs

Posted by in Guides

After upgrading some core files this past week on my laptop, I noticed that Teamspeak 3 no longer would open. I have a desktop icon that calls the script that starts Teamspeak. When I opened up a terminal and tried to run the script, I recieved this error:

ts3client_linux_amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Well, I have libpng 1.4.3 on my laptop, and I’d prefer to not have multiple versions installed. Luckily, the cause of this issue is the QT4 library files that ship with Teamspeak 3. If you have KDE4, like I do, then all you have to do is move these QT files out of the Teamspeak 3 install directory. A quick way to do this is to use the following once you are in the directory where Teamspeak 3’s files are located:

mkdir backup
mv libQt* ./backup/

Now Teamspeak 3 will use your already installed system QT4 library files, and Teamspeak 3 should now work with modern versions of libpng.
