Lxadmin’s default permalink configuration for wordpress

Today, i did an wordpress installation for one of my client on a lighttpd server. Every thing was fine in the installation, blog got installed successfully. It was a nice experience working on a new control panel (Lxadmin), but the thing that made me restless was the permalink issue that i got when i tried to customize the url’s to http://example.com/%postname%/. It was displaying the permalink with index.php attached to it like http://example.com/index.php/%postname%/.  If i removes index.php from the blogs permalink settings, it returns me with and error page 404 on the post pages. Moreover, i had a commitment that need to be completed in time. I did a lot of search about it and was presented with very useful and detailed solutions to my problem. There were some great explanation’s from  sudhakar and chrisjohnston to them.

But i was hunting for something more easier, that could be done more easily, and surprisingly i found the solution in the Lxadmin panel itself. The Lxadmin panel comes with a pre-configured permalink solution for wordpress and drupal.

Lxadmin comes with default permalink configuration for many apps. Please select the application and the directory where you have installed it, and lxadmin will add the corresponding rewrite rule into the lighty configuration. Please note that for some applications, permalinks are achieved via setting the 404 error handler, for instance wordpress.

Here is what you have to do for reaching the solution:

  1. Login in into your Lxadmin panel.
  2. Browse to script and select permalink.

  3. Select the domain, location and the application ( only wordpress and drupal are supported, currently).

    In the last go to your wordpress dashboard> settings> permalinks> and make the changes for customization, things will absolutely act finely.

Lxadmin panel’s such powerful and light weight functions can help the blogger’s to focus on their writing skills, rather than hunting and looking for solution to their solutions. It just functions like another wordpress plugin provided in the lxadmin panel.

Per Post Revenue- Weekly payouts for contributors

earning per postHere we are going to start a new per post revenue option for the contributors or guest writers apart from my adsense revenue sharing program. The contributor is eligible for any one of the revenue program at a time, if he/she is using a adsense revenue sharing than they will not be eligible for per post revenue. We have decided to pay the contributors a minimum $1 per post and a maximum of $10 for a extremely good post. Moreover, we are deciding the minimum rates per category, which we will be publishing very soon. Check Category wise post Revenue and requirements.

Why we have decided for per post revenue and that too on weekly basis?

Since our post last week on back with functional revenue sharing we got a increased number of registered users and a lot of mail queries, asking about:

Registered users for colorsofnet

Registered users for colorsofnet till 31 oct 2009

  • What is this adsense revenue sharing program and how it functions?
  • How earning will be traced and when they will get paid?
  • How they can believe that they are paid correctly?
  • Why they will be paid after a long time, month end + 45 days (adsense users must be aware why this time has been set, but its hard to make the new bees understand).

And a lot of such questions that we have faced. So, finally we decided to make it per post revenue and weekly payments. The minimum weekly payout limit is $5 and the payment modes are through paypal and NEFT. In case you are unable to reach $5 in the entire month than just write to us at the end of the month and we will make your payments.

Read the copyright and Posting Guidelines before writing the post. You should be aware of basic writing skills over the blog. For those who don’t have any idea how to compose a blog post they could check our Dummies guide for posting on blog.

Tracking of earnings on multi-author blog

Today lets look today into the concept how the advertisements are tracked for the respective author of the post. On colorsofnet.com we works on the concept of author id’s, at the bottom of the post we specifies the unique author id for the post author. This author id we use in the back-end php script with the respective author advertisements, and how we differentiate among various authors advertisement who don’t have an adsense account of their own will be covered later in the post.

Author ID

In the above screen shot for the user gknp007 the unique author id is 109, and similarly for user Rainbow the unique author id is 2.

Now lets look how the ads being delivered for the users on the basis of the author id. Here is the code that we are using for tracking the respective authors earnings.

if ($author == “109″) { ?>
<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
google_ad_client = “pub-8423824671108420″;
/* 336×280, created 10/26/09 */
google_ad_slot = “3676079036″;
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
//–>
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”>
</script>
<?php } elseif ($author == “2″) { ?>
<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
google_ad_client = “pub-8423824671108420″;
google_ad_slot = “8227300545″;
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
//–>
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”>
</script>

From the above script its clear that on the basis of the author id the ads are delivered, for the author id: 109 the google_ad_slot = “3676079036″; and for the author id: 2 the google_ad_slot = “8227300545″;
So, the tracking is on the basis of the unique author id and their respective google_ad_slot.

Now lets see how we check the earnings online as per the google_ad_slot, this screen shot will give a clear view.

adsense

In the screen shown the earnings for each author will be tracked in real time, from this we can track daily weekly and monthly stats for the different google_ad_slot. Here earnings for users con-rainbow, con-square, style_o_moon, anjuraj03.

And how you will be able to view these stats of earnings, for this right now we don’t have any provision. But in the end of the month i will be sharing my system with you, so that you can online access and check the adsense earnings from my system. And the payments will be made after 45 days from the month end.
