Majic Moji
Last Update:June 29, 2003

Majic Moji allow you to save time typing. Mfop2 allows you to keep your own database of helpful shortcuts which will expand to any text string you wish before being posted to your blog.

A simple example of Majic Moji in action would be to have

To use Majic Moji:

  1. First, save your registration if this is a new registration, or if you have just made a change to your from email of Mfop2 password.
  2. Open the Majic Moji editing window by clicking on the "Add Majic Moji" button.
  3. Enter any string of charachters without spaces in to the smaller text field. These should be characters that are unlikely to appear in a normal post, "hi" would be a very bad choice. "HHI" would be a better choice.
  4. In the larger text field, add the text you would like your Majic Moji to expand to. This can include HTML, Mfop2 template variables ([name=Jon] or [name]), it can even contain other Majic Moji (results may very)
  5. Click Save.
  6. In your moblog post, simply type your Majic Moji where you would like them to be expanded.

Majic Moji together with the Mfop2 tags can be very powerful if you dare explore their full potential.

Before posting your moblog post, Mfop2 will parse the text several times, this means that Majic Moji can be inside Mfop2 tags, or Mfop2 tags can be in expanded Majic Moji. The order in which Mfop2 processes you post goes like this:

  1. Collect all variables: i.e. @name=Kumiko@
  2. Remove all lines beginning and ending with "@"
  3. Replace [post_body] in your template with the text of your email.
  4. Expand all Majic Moji. (allows you to store tags in Majic Moji)
  5. Replace all [tags] with the values collected in step 1.
  6. Process all [if_xxx] tags
  7. Expand all Majic Moji a second time. (Allows you to store Majic Moji in variable values)

Some of the uses I can think of would be to store user signatures if you are allowing many people to post to the same moblog. For example, my signature could be

KKCC
which could expand to
<a href="http://www.bastish.net">Kevin</a>

This whole idea of storing tags inside Majic Moji and vice-versa confuses me. The good news is, no one even has to use it, and you certainly don't have to make it complicated, but if you want to experiment, go ahead. And if you come up with some great time saving combinations, or if you have any questions, please leave a comment below.

Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it. Stephen Vizinczey
