I just updated my comment highlighting plugin for WordPress and it’s now bumped up to version 1.1. The previous version works fine but 1.1 adds functionality for WP–1.5! Utilizing the added plugin hooks in 1.5–strayhorn, you can highlight comments from the comment loop in the entry pages by using the rp_comment_hilite_link() function, which works not […]
I just updated wp–recent–links to work with the latest WordPress release. It’s now up to version 1.32. I’m glad to have great hacker friends around that always get to the problem in no time, and with feedback from users development is much easier. I’ve been wanting to integrate the additions Eric Meyer made several months […]
Yes, the latest iteration of the greatest weblog publishing tool is now up for grabs! The development people are talking about it, and soon everyone — but maybe not the WP dev blog nor Matt himself. 🙂 Happy hacking everyone, time for some code refresh of our plugins. 🙂
Of course you’ve heard of SmartyPants, right? It’s that famous Movable Type and Blosxom plugin enabling authors to publish their weblogs with typographically elegant punctuations. That includes the famous Doug Bowman’s Stopdesign. Unfortunately for WordPress users, those wanting to use it had little chance, with SmartyPants written in Perl, not in PHP. Not until Michel […]
About a week ago, there was a very active discussion on Dave Shea’s mezzoblue redesign, not only because of the new interface, but more importantly, his new feature: Reply Highlighting. Looks good on paper, but his first implementation was rather “faulty.” His highlighting feature was based on the premise that well–known designers and developers were […]
One of WordPress’s unique features is the ability to apply block formatting and punctuation styling through the buit–in wpautop() and wptexturize() functions, respectively. However, this behavior fails on some markup combinations. The simple–looking "<strong>text wrapped with strong emphasis tag, with quotes outside</strong>" replaces the two instances of double–quotes with opening–double–quotes (“ — escaped in HTML […]
The default link manager in WordPress has always been feature–packed since the 1.0 release, though it could still use some hacking to do certain things. The blogroll import function has been something I’ve always wanted to work properly, but I couldn’t. Not that I tried or read the documentation that much, but I wanted it […]
Yes, the title says it all: wp–recent–links is now a valid plugin for WordPress 1.2. No need to copy the functions from my-hacks.php to a plugin file, now we have both files ready, for 1.0 and 1.2 users. Lots of fixes on this one, and rewritten functions are now more configurable. Of course the old […]
wp–recent–links has now reached version 1.2, with a new RSS 2 feed for syndicating your links. Grab the latest zip and try it. And post your comments if it breaks your site. 🙂 An update to 1.2 is now available: 1.21. Just fixed a copy-and-paste error that was causing the link captions to be not […]
Matt has just written on some developments regarding the upcoming WorPress 1.2 release, expected next week. In another post, he notes the recently released pricing scheme for Movable Type, barely a few hours after SixApart announced the availability of MT 3.0 Developer Edition. With these developments, the blogging scene will be very active in the […]
