I did a little bit of work and testing on my Fire Eagle WordPress plugin and I feel that it is time now to release it, even though I would still consider it in a very Alpha state. So if you are interested and feel adventurous, feel free to check it out.
As said, you would need a Fire Eagle invite to get access to the service. If you need one, please let me know.
I have done my best from a testing point of view, but as we all know, many things probably slipped through. Please let me know of any issues and, of course, general feedback is always highly appreciated. Either leave a comment here or use the contact form on this site. Thanks!
Is there any chance to use your plugin to onle retrieve my current location (lat/long) from FireEagle? This would make it very easy to make other plugins location driven.. and would be exactly what Im looking for at the moment
@Klaus (and no, I am not talking to myself
)
That is, in a way, what Ben already proposed. What I could think of is extending the profile of a user in WordPress by adding location information which gets updated/sync’d with FireEagle, say, every hour. It would be doable, the question is just whether I can find the time to do it
This is a great plugin, something I have thought would be useful, especially if one is traveling. I did a search and found yours! Great work. !
It installed successfully, but when I try to configure it, it gives me an error page. I look in the apache error logs and “maximum number of internal redirects reached” message appears. I don’t quite know if this is a problem with the plugin or my config. I have not changed my config since installation, so it is unlikely that is the issue.
It would be great if you can throw some light on this and help me out a bit !
thanks,

Oh, I forgot to mention - I am using wordpress 2.6
Just read your about page and noticed you are working with Yahoo!. I used to be with them in Sunnyvale for over 6 years. Hello to a fellow Yahoo!

Wordpress 2.6.1
Any ideas how to fix it?
ah, fixed it myself - used the latest fireeagle.php and it started working !
I get the same error Robert got - I am a bit mystified what he meant by “…used the latest fireeagle.php and it started working !” - I have the latest version of the plugin - is there something I am missing? -thx
Klaus, thanks for this. Here’s a bug I’ve found.
The code assumes that the wp-* directories are at the root of the server. My wordpress installation is within a subdirectory. I think it could work if all the
“http://”.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].
were replaced with
get_option(’siteurl’) .
@Richard Hobbs: download the latest fireeagle.php from http://fireeagle.yahoo.net/developer/code/php and replace it in i-am-here/lib on your server. worked for me.
btw, kudos Klaus!

<<< Thank you Klaus - har har I actually just found it myself and came back here to give your your plugin another go - I’ll let you know how I make out!
thx
Your plugin works fine with the new fireeagle.php - thanks again
er, thanks BEN (Klaus too
Are there any other time services that could be used? The world time service charges for accessing their API - far be it from me to discourage ANYONE from trying to make a buck (or Pound..or Mark… or Euro…) and I am sure the price is commensurate with usage a highly trafficked site might need but my use of the time services on my relatively low-traffic site to play around with the plugin seems hardly worth the $100 + per year I would need to pay to use the time service - I see there is a free trail for 30 days if requested but it doesnt seem worth the trouble nor is right it right to bug them if I already know I will not be buying the service. The plugin and having the time displayed is fun and all but… Or did I miss something? - thx
Does not work for me either. Probably because it assumes the root folder issue described above. Is there a new version that can work for sub directory installations? Thanks
