http://tech.windsofstorm.net hacking in the night... Tue, 20 May 2008 15:40:20 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm testing out some of my plugins on this blog, which is now running WP 2.5.1. I see no need to continue development of the category or archives replacement widgets as the base widget code now has all the functionality that I added. Those two are now retired. Morgan's WIP Manager continues ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2008/05/20/wordpress-25-compatibility/ 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 ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/10/31/morgans-replacement-links-widget-07/ 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. Download here: Morgan's Replacement Links Widget version 0.6 (Option to open links in a new window, ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/10/28/morgans-replacement-links-widget-06/ 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, ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/09/06/morgans-replacement-links-widget-05/ 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 ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/07/28/morgans-wip-manager/ 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 ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/07/28/morgans-progress-meters-042/ 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 ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/06/11/morgans-now-reading-exporter/ 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: Morgan's Replacement Links Widget version 0.4 (Minor bugfix for multiple instance support when not using drop-downs and when limiting to specific categories.) http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/05/07/morgans-replacement-links-widget-04/ 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 ... http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/04/14/morgans-progress-meters-04/ 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. Download here: Morgan’s Progress Meters version 0.3 (Supports WP-MU properly) http://tech.windsofstorm.net/2007/04/14/morgans-progress-meters-03/
