Yet Another Nasty Hack That I Wish I Didn't Have To Do:
smcomments2keywords.pl (http://www.darryl.com/smcomments2keywords): a hack that will take the last hour's (or more) worth of comments and if they have "keyword:" or "tag:" in them, convert them to actual keywords.
Why I did this:
http://gladlee.smugmug.com/gallery/3669791
So while it was fun and all, my 40+ hours of hacking wouldn't have been necessary if SmugMug allowed Keyword tagging for password-authenticated guests.
On the other hand, the whole wiggy keyword UI issue would totally screw up my users, not to mention the fact that one stray semi-colon from somebody's Photoshop-tagged images will force *all* of the keywords to be semi-colon delimited, again, screwing up my users.
*Sigh* if only they could we could have SmugMug's great security model (really, one of my favorite things) but with Flickr's tagging UI (see attached).
(And well, their drag-and-drop organizer kind of beats the pants off of Bulk This and Bulk That from a drop-down menu.)
Well, anyways, it's pretty much done, so I can sleep again. It sure would be nice though if Captchas got turned off for password-authenticated users, so that my hack was a little less inelegant.
