My apologies to those who installed Twitter Status and didn’t get it working, unfrotunately I did all my testing in Wordpress 2.7 and didn’t notice it was incompatible with 2.6.
You can get the latest version from the plugin page or Wordpress.org..
Hope this version works properly for everyone.
My second plugin released in one day :ohhyeahh:, it’s a small one though.. called Post Filters.
I am still working on some more plugins, this one I created out of necessity, I wanted to have my plugin pages skip the frontpage and stick to their relative category.
So why not use a page? Well the links in my navigation bar are generated by the categories I post in.. and pages don’t have categories.. so there.
Anyway, what this plugin does:
Gives you the ability to have posts skip the frontpage and to stick a post to the top of all it’s relative categories.
Hopefully some more people can find a good use for this ;)
Twitter Status is a very simple no-fuzz plugin that gets the current Twitter message from the Twitter ID specified, when someone visits your website there will be an ajax script running in the background doing a GET request every 30 seconds.
This request will trigger the Plugin to get all Author profiles with a twitter ID, and update their Twitter status, given that they haven’t been updated in at least 30 minutes and with a limit of 5 twitter profiles per request.
You can change these settings by editing the plugin file (before activating it).. the settings are easily accessible, no knowledge of PHP required.. I will incorporate a configuration page in future versions, for now I wanted to make an initial release that’s down to the complete basics.
I am also working on a couple more usefull plugins which should be coming along soon..
I’m also working on a PDO wrapper to make it’s functionality more accessible, though this is of course not related to Wordpress in any way.
If you’ve ever visited my blog before you’ll see that I’ve made quite a drastic change, the reason for this I just didn’t get around to blogging because I didn’t enjoy it, I wanted something simple, to blog about technology and web development in specific, as that is really the only thing that I feel like sharing with the world.. the rest is personal and for me this does not belong on a blog.
So, keep an eye on my blog, you’ll see loads of snippets, plugins and suggestions coming around, just check the Categories for a preview of what I’m planning to use it for.
If you need to get anything from my old Blog, feel free to access it here. Though note that it might not work properly on all pages.
Edit:
Just thought about my XHTML validation, I totally forgot to walk through it, will do that tomorrow.. so if you read this before then, don’t mind the “valid xhtml” button
