==Request Hacks==
+
-
 
+
-
Do you want a particular feature for your blog? Are you pretty sure that it is possible? Add a new section to this page describing your requirements in detail and linking to examples, or to the site that you'd like to edit. I can't promise that your need will be met, but I hope to guarantee that it will be seen by people who can help.
+
-
 
+
-
To help the community to understand what you're looking for, please include:
+
-
 
+
-
1. A full description of the feature that you're looking for.
+
-
 
+
-
2. An explanation of the purpose.
+
-
 
+
-
3. A link to your blog, or to any other resources / examples that you want to use.
+
-
 
+
-
The more detail you are able to provide, the more likely it is that another user will be able to assist you.

==Have The Last Word==
+
-
 
+
-
As a blogger, I welcome a large number of comments on my controversial posts. Being opinionated, I like to have the last word too. While I monitor discussions, keeping track of whether or not each post is "open" (ie I haven't had the final say) is difficult.
+
-
 
+
-
I'd like a tool that will provide me with a list of my posts that have comments where the last one wasn't written by me, along with the contents of the last comment and a link to the appropriate comment editing page for that post.
+
-
 
+
-
I imagine I could go to a page, enter a URL and my blogger name, then click a button. The results page would consist of a list of links and comments. Dates might be nice too. It wouldn't need to be integrated into my blog, be very stylish or even reliable, since it's just a tool I could check periodically when feeling bored.
+
-
 
+
-
It might have an option to show only posts where I have commented but I am ''not'' the last commenter. This would be handy for blogs that I don't own, but comment on frequently.
+
-
 
+
-
The building blocks for such a solution might include:
+
-
 
+
-
* "My comments blog" (HTML) via [[Comment Feed Using Another Blog]]
+
-
* "My comments feed" (RSS) via above
+
-
* [http://www.ts0.com/bloggercomments/ Thom's] [[Comment Feed using remote parser]]

==Hide sidebar previous posts on some recent posts==
+
-
'''Description:'''
+
-
As I use the Blogger navigation in my sidebar myself a lot, so I have added the 'previous' Blogger template code to the main archive and both a 'previous' and 'recent'(using Social bookmarks javascript linkroll) section to item pages sidebars so I'm sure I can access all my posts easily.
+
-
 
+
-
'''Problem:'''
+
-
This works fine on old posts but on the first newer posts (item pages) they both show nearly the same links, so I would like to hide the 'recent' sidebar block, on say, the the first 3 new posts.

== Sending email notification to ALL contributors when a posting or a comment is added ==
+
-
 
+
-
'''Description'''
+
-
 
+
-
We are a team who uses a blog to submit ideas and propose solutions to each other.
+
-
 
+
-
'''The Problem'''
+
-
 
+
-
So far we have not yet found a suitable and easy way to get all the contributors in the blog notified when a posting or a comment is submitted. 
+
-
We have looked at the settings and found that as regards postings it only allows the individual submitting a posting to receive notification and as regards comments, only the administrator to receive notification.
+
-
In both instances only one email address is allowed in the field.
+
-
 
+
-
'''A solution'''
+
-
 
+
-
Anybody with enough technical expertise [which we inthe blog do not have] could try and guide us towards a solution?
+
-
 
+
-
The blog in question is: http://edtf.blogspot.com

+
-
Thanks for your help.

Max: May I suggest a comment feed? These are standard in Blogger beta, but there are plenty of versions that will work for regular blogger. One possible solution... use the blogger comment notification e-mail address to post new comments to a specially set-up google group, the have all of your team members join the group. They'll be able to get notice of the updates by e-mail, or use a feedreader to subscribe to the group's feed. See [http://blogfresh.blogspot.com/2005/12/another-comment-feed-hack.html Freshblog] for more info.
+
-
 
+
-
* Comments feed subbed to by email is definitely the textbook answer.  Another option could be to have the Gmail account that is receiving notifications (you ''are'' on Gmail, right? ;) )  filter the incomings to auto-forward to all members. - [[User:Singpolyma|Singpolyma]] 09:26, 7 November 2006 (EST)

==fixed blog index page (kind of a blog home page)  ==
+
-
'''Description:'''
+
-
i'm trying to make a blog for my phd research and i want to make it like a webpage but with the perks of the blogger. so i'd like to have a fixed intro page with a description of my research and then use the labels to divide the blog into relevant areas similar to a webpage. right now i've added the tab label hack from hackosphere.
+
-
 
+
-
'''Problem:'''
+
-
i just need a simple way to have one post permanently displayed when someone loads the blog and then they can click on the labels/tabs to see the rest of the blog like a webpage.

'''Solution'''
+
-
 
+
-
at least a possible solution.... Check out [http://blogfresh.blogspot.com/2006/08/expand-collapse-categories-with.html Caramuel's category hack]. This hack allows you to categorise your content, but also allows you to force the display of a given category when your main page loads.... So, put your intro / sticky post in its own category, then force that category to load as the default....

==Author Comments==

'''Description'''
+
-
I want a way to make it so when I comment on my own posts, my comments appear with a different font color.

Ramani of [http://www.hackosphere.blogspot.com/ Hackosphere] uses it on his blog. You can see it in action [http://hackosphere.blogspot.com/2006/09/tweak-your-label-tabs.html#comment-4855462521027722202 here.] I just don't know how to do it.

==Expandable Posts in Blogger Beta==
+
-
'''Description'''
+
-
I want a way to make expandable posts like we saw in [http://5memes.blogspot.com 5Memes]. The problem is that the hack in this wiki teachs how to make that on Blogger's template, but Blogger's Beta Templates are different and they don´t have the Style tags.

==Hide the labels field from the main page and post pages==
+
-
Labels are nice and all, but they take too much space off the main page and post pages. I still want ot label my posts, but I dont want to display them after each post...
+
-
 
+
-
'''Solution'''
+
-
 
+
-
A possible solution courtesy of [http://basangpanaginip.blogspot.com/2006/09/how-to-fix-comment-count-grammar-in.html Michael] and [http://hoctro.blogspot.com/2006/09/tweaking-new-blogger-feeds-on-front.html Hoctro], both of whom have played with Blogger Beta's new "if / then" logic to create the conditional display of content on certain kinds of page. I'd recommend that you leave your labels on your post pages, so that readers can see how you've categorised a post, & follow the link to a category that they're interested in,... but hey, it's your blog! This will probably work w/ minimal customisation.

==Make link go to wikipedia==
+
-
I want <nowiki>[[foo]]</nowiki> to go to the Wikipedia page called "foo".  How?
+
-
 
+
-
That's a page outside this wiki, so you'll need a single square bracket, full url, space, link anchor word, closing single square bracket, like this:
+
-
 
+
-
<nowiki>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo Foo]</nowiki>
+
-
 
+
-
==Merge blogs==
+
-
Basically, I have 6 personal blogs on my Blogger dashboard. That's because I wanted categorization before Blogger Beta introduced labels. For a number of reasons, I want to merge my blogs into one. If there is a way to import all the posts from one blog into another, that would be an ideal solution. Please advise or create a hack to do this, thanks in advance. My blog is here at [http://www.shan.ca.tf www.Shan.ca.tf]

==Blogsend: No Linkback to Main Blog==
+
-
I have a [http://usurpingivy.blogspot.com Blogger Blog] that I've been updating since the Dawn of time, but my friends are all on LiveJournal.  Using the Blogsend function, I'm able to update the [http://usurpingivylj.livejournal.com LiveJournal] without actually ever stepping foot on LJ, BUT the issue becomes that BlogSend automatically adds a footer with a linkback to the main Blog.  I need to figure out a way to circumvent that, for privacy reasons on my main blog and to protect my guestbloggers.  Any ideas?  Thanks!!

==Pick up labels in adding to delicious (beta)==
+
-
I know there is a known hack to add capability to link to delicious from beta blogger posts. But right now it does not pick up labels of the post and create automatic tags for delicious bookmark. I know it should be not so difficult to include the tags for the delicious link.
+
-
 
+
-
I am quite used to the current Greasemonkey method to tag my non-beta blog posts and am itching to move to the new beta, but this is one big roadblock for me.
+
-
 
+

Any takers?

==My feeds for autodetection (beta)==

-

Is it possible to add my feedburner feed in the beta blog so that autodetection is done on the feedburner feed rather than the default Atom feed or even the beta blogger RSS feed?

==Tag Hack for Qumana ==
+
-
 
+
-
I want to use Qumana for my post editing for Blogger. It works much better with Blogger than Performancing. But I want to change the tagging option from Technocratii to RawSugar (as exists with the great BlogThis/Tag hack.)
+
-
 
+
-
My guess it's a simple business of changing the urlsoemnwhere in the Qunama script. Where? How?
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
== Label Hacks==
+
-
I am curious to know if we could have a Label Cloud thats displays the most labels most used on my blog page.
+
-
OR
+
-
I also wish to know if I can display the most used lables on my blog instead of the whole list of labels.

==Want Visitors List at bottom of each post, in Blogger Beta==
+
-
 
+
-
I'd like to have a list, at the end of each post, that gives the name of all the people who left a comment, and links that name to the website URL they left in the comment form.  You can see what I mean here: http://wystful1.blogspot.com/
+
-
At the end of each post is a 'Visitors List'.
+
-
 
+
-
Can someone tell me how to implement this for Blogger Beta?  Thanks.

* Commentor names / links to their comments would be entirely possible modding [http://singpolyma-tech.blogspot.com/2006/10/comments-on-mainarchive-page-peek-boo.html my peek-a-boo hack], commentor URL would require hugely more scraping (and may not be possible at all).  If anyone finds a way please let me know, though, it would be nice in my hack! - [[User:Singpolyma|Singpolyma]] 09:39, 7 November 2006 (EST)

==Related Posts from your blog under a post you just wrote==

I'd like to have a short list of related posts that I have written on my blog underneath the post I just wrote. I've seen this hack on non betta blogger, but have yet to see it on beta. Thanks.

==Way to Add The Digg Button To a Beta Blogger Blog Hack==
+
-
 
+
-
This [http://diggbutton.blogspot.com/ tutorial] for the digg button for a blogger blog doesn't work in the new beta blogger. I would appreciate it if someone made a digg button code for the new beta blogger. If you'd liek to know what kind of template I use, if that will help you, check [http://allaboutadsense.blogspot.com/ All About Google Adsense].Thank You in advance.

== Add Calendar==
+
-
How can we add calendar to our blogs, especially highlighting the dates on which have entires marked?
+
-
I believe this is one of the oldest problems at Blogger's. The label part is added hopefully the calender will be too.

==Specify the Number of Labels Displayed==
+
-
 
+
-
I recently switched to Blogger Beta and have edited all my posts to remove technorati tags and add labels.  This, however, generated a very long list of labels in my sidebar.  I would like to be able to specify how many labels I want displayed, such as the top ten for instance.
+
-
 
+
-
I have looked at Hackosphere, phydeaux3, and Hoctor's Place.  All of the code there, however, does a lot more than I need.  So I was hoping there would be a simpler hack for this.
+

My blog is located at http://mentisworks.blogspot.com, and thank you very much in advance!
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
==Archives: drop-down menu with titles==
+
-
I can't find a way to make the blogger(beta) drop-down menu show titles of the post, instead of the date. I think it'd be extremely helpful, especially for blogs which are not updated very often.
+
-
 
+
-
Or maybe do you have an idea how to make this a stand-alone widget? Probably using the site's feed?
