One of the features I’d really like to have in Known, is the ability to schedule posts for a later date.

Sometimes I do this via my post by email plugin combined with an email scheduling tool, and at some point I’ll actually get around to sending a pull request to schedule posts natively.

In the meantime, I wrote a quick plugin which makes use of the Buffer service to create a post schedule for your a number of social networking accounts.

When installed and configured, this plugin will give you a new “buffer” syndication channel which will act like a meta channel – posting to multiple social networking accounts configured according to your buffer schedule.

Hope this is useful to some of you!

Webhooks are a simple way to glue disparate web services together using standing HTTP protocols in an easy to build for way.

I’d just like to introduce a very simple plugin that will add simple webhook functionality to your known site, allowing the administrator and individual site users to configure a URL that will be pinged whenever a user notification is sent (for example by a comment being received).

I use this to do some back end data analysis stuff on a couple of servers, so hopefully this will be useful to you!

This is just a quick post to nudge you towards a little plugin I wrote for Known which enforces a minimum password strength for user passwords.

The plugin works by calculating the entropy of the password based on NIST recommendations, and rejecting passwords where the entropy is too low.

By default, the minimum entropy is 44, however this can be changed through a configuration setting.

For this plugin to work, until my pull request is merged into the core code, you’ll need to apply patches available from my password validation branch.

Anyway, give it a kick about!
