Breadcrumb NavXT 6.3.0

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

Holy Gutenberg breadcrumb trail block Batman! Originally scheduled for inclusion in Breadcrumb NavXT 6.2, the Breadcrumb Trail Gutenberg Block finally makes an appearance in 6.3. Additionally, changes were made to improve accessibility standards support (both in the settings page and in the breadcrumb trail). Lastly, a bug that caused a PHP error in bcn_breadcrumb_trail::fill() has been fixed.

bcn_display_attribute_array Filter

Back in 6.0, the bcn_display_attributes filter was added to replace the old bcn_li_attributes filter. This was little more than a name change for the filter. Unfortunately, neither filter is easy to use—both require string processing. As an alternative, easier to use filter, bcn_display_attribute_array was added to Breadcrumb NavXT 6.3. This filter works against a key-value pair array of the attributes.

bcn-aria-current Template Tag

To facilitate WAI-ARIA Breadcrumb support, a new template tag was added in 6.3. Unlike the other template tags that start and end with %, this template tag is simply bcn-aria-current. This tag is replaced with aria-current="page" when the breadcrumb represents the current page, otherwise it is replaced with an empty string.

As always, you can grab the latest version of Breadcrumb NavXT from the Breadcrumb NavXT page. If you experience any issues with this version of Breadcrumb NavXT, please leave a comment on this post detailing the issue.

U2F and Firefox on Funtoo

Posted by in General

U2F is pretty neat. It can be used locally on a machine for authentication and for two factor authentication on websites. There are even plugins for using it on WordPress powered websites. At the time this article was written, Firefox does not enable U2F by default. Though, that looks to be changing with Firefox 68.

Enable U2F in Firefox

Enabling U2F in Firefox is fairly straightforward. In the URL bar enter: about:config. Then search for u2f. There should be an entry: security.webauth.u2f, set it to true.

Install pam_u2f

However, simply enabling U2F in Firefox is not enough for a U2F device to work. To get everything working, pam_u2f needs to be installed. On Funtoo, this is quite simple:

emerge -av pam_u2f

After installing pam_u2f, Firefox should now be able to query your U2F key.
