I created this Pidgin plugin for use with the meebo me widget. When people visit the web page on which your widget is placed, a buddy will automatically be added to your Pidgin buddy list in a group titled Meebo Guests. When they leave the site, the buddy will automatically be removed from your list. This removes the headache of having to authorize and add the buddy every time someone visits your web site.

Step 1 — Register meebo account & get script

first register in  meebo for get a script to be placed on the site .

follow step by step …

if it is done , get & adding script in your widget or site place ..

Step 2 — Setting Up Pidgin

An account must be created in Pidgin to communicate with the meebo widget. The settings below should be used to create the account:

Basic tab
Protocol: XMPP
Domain: meebo.org
Resource: Home

Advanced tab
Connect port: 5222
Connect server: meebo.org

Download

The plugin file should be placed in the Pidgin plugins folder. On Windows this is usually located at C:\Program Files\Pidgin\plugins. On Linux this might be something like /usr/lib/purple-2. For the 64 bit version, one user found that it should be placed at /usr/lib64/pidgin. Of course this may be different depending on your installation. It can then be enabled from the Plugins option in the Tools menu.

Windows (2.0.2): download
Linux (2.0.2): download
Linux 64 bit (2.4.3): download

Source (2.0.2): download

finished .. please try on your site .. keep work … !!

A couple weeks ago, I created a screencast that demonstrated how to build a three-level navigation menu. In a response email, one of our readers requested a tutorial on how to build a lava-lamp style menu. Luckily, it’s quite a simple task, especially when using a JavaScript library. We’ll build one from scratch today.

Step 1 Create the Mark-up

Before we can create this neat functionality, we need a base from which to work from. In your favorite code editor, create an unordered list for your navigation, and import both jQuery and jQuery UI, via Google.

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

If you are using DHCP for your primary network card which is usually eth0, you will see the following lines

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

As you can see, it’s using DHCP right now. We are going to change dhcp to static, and then there are a number of options that should add and here is the example and you can change these settings according to your network settings.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

Restart the neworking service using the following command

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Install UFW in Ubuntu

Currently this firewall package is available in Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install ufw

This will complete the installation

Turn firewall on and off (‘disable’ is default ACCEPT)

# ufw enable|disable

Toggle logging

# ufw logging on|off

Set the default policy (ie “mostly open” vs “mostly closed”)

# ufw default allow|deny

Accept or drop incoming packets to (can see what services are available with ’status’ (see below)). can be specified via service name in /etc/services, ‘protocol:port’, or via package meta-data. ‘allow’ adds service entry to /etc/ufw/maps and ‘deny’ removes service entry from /etc/ufw/maps. Basic syntax:

# ufw allow|deny [service]

Display status of firewall and ports in the listening state, referencing /var/lib/ufw/maps. Numbers in parenthesis are not displayed to user

# ufw status

UFW Examples

Allow port 53

$ sudo ufw allow 53

Delete Allow port 53

$ sudo ufw delete allow 53

Allow port 80

$ sudo ufw allow 80/tcp

Delete Allow port 80

$ sudo ufw delete allow 80/tcp

Allow port smtp

$ sudo ufw allow smtp

Delete Allow port smtp

$ sudo ufw delete allow smtp

Allow fro Particular IP

$ sudo ufw allow from 192.168.254.254

Delete the above rule

$ sudo ufw delete allow from 192.168.254.254
