This version requires WordPress 2.1 or above. Given that we’re on WordPress 2.3, and they’ve changed how links work since 2.1… it’s time for me to get my code up to snuff and out of the deprecated bin.
I also added in the ability to specify how you want to sort the display of links, per request.

This is a minor feature-based version… Peter Lurie sent me a small diff to add support for the LanguageSwitcher plugin, which I’ve integrated. I’ve also added support to open links in a new window, per request.

Went to install this widget for a friend (Crystal Jordan), and we both noticed that when you’re using it in long form (not drop-down) and with multiple categories, it looks a bit odd showing “Links” and then the category title. I’m releasing 0.5 with the option to skip the header, for those folks who it would look cleaner without.

As most of you have probably noticed from my (infrequent) posts over at my LiveJournal and/or elsewheres on the ‘net, this hasn’t been a good set of months for me. I haven’t gotten much done lately due to my increasingly frequent migraines.
As such, I decided to spend some time today cleaning up the WIP Manager and rolling it out. It’s not “complete” like I wanted it to be, but if I wait for that… well, we’ll all be waiting a while. I’d rather have it out there and usable than delay the release further.
Support for characters does not exist– if there is a link that takes you to anything character-related, it’ll fail. The summary reports folks could see over at Evo aren’t coded in, either. Nor is the RSS feed. I did get the widget coded, however, which is more than I thought I’d have a chance to get into 0.1.
This is designed for single-author WP installations (though it should play nicely with WPMU, which is something I’ll be testing shortly). The only nod that I’ve given to multi-user WP blogs (such as author loops) is an option for the widget, to show which author is posting the WIP update.
I’ll do my best to respond to bug reports, but I can’t guarantee that my response will be timely. Sorry in advance.

Releasing version 0.4.2– apparently my code for 0.4.1 was missing the bit of code to actually store the option value that was tracking the database schema version. This was the culprit for the error message:
WordPress database error:
[Duplicate column name 'meter_updated']
ALTER TABLE `wp_progress_meters` ADD `meter_updated` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
You’ll likely get the error once more but then it should disappear on the next page load. Many apologies for the wait for the corrected version.

I’ve recently stumbled across a very neat little site for sharing what books you’re reading. Something like a Friendster of reading lists, or Stumble Upon. Anyways, the site is GoodReads. For those of us who use the Now Reading plugin, though, it seemed like something that would be a pain to re-enter all the books that we’re already tracking via Now Reading.
However, GoodReads offers a CSV file import feature. As a result, I whipped up a minor plugin that exports all your Now Reading data into a handy CSV file that you can then import into over at GoodReads.

Went to use this widget while helping out The Novelty Girls, and I found a minor bug, so I’m releasing 0.4.
Download here:
Releasing 0.4 right after 0.3 since I had time to get the widget done earlier than I had expected.
Update: I just noticed a glitch in how the database upgrade scripts process and had to rework it a bit, so I’ve rerolled 0.4.1. I’ve added in a variable to track the database schema version number as well as the plugin version number, so future upgrades should go smoothly on this front.

New version of the Progress Meters… fixing the WP-MU bug I mentioned earlier. Thanks to the folks over at Authors Abode for helping me isolate the bug and bearing with me while I fixed it. Next version will include the widget.

Progress proceeds apace. I’ve managed to go through and simplify some of the conversion process a bit (thanks to VI’s wonderful regex engine) and looking at the code blocks I’ve isolated 12 remaining in need of conversion. One or two of them, I believe that I’ll end up scrapping as they deal with the way multiple users were handled on Evolution. With this WordPress version, multiple users will be best handled with WP-MU where each user will have their own blog. I could probably do it a different way, but it makes no sense given that the plugin uses the Admin Panel backend for management.
The work won’t be done when that’s complete, not by far, but at that point it’ll be usable to you the same way it is over at Evolution. Once all the conversion is complete, then I need to add in:
Once the conversion is done I’ll roll the first version out and then do updates; I won’t wait for the other 3 items to be complete to issue a release.
