My WP Plugins Update Mar 06

Today is the first day of March 2006, as usual, I have released updates for 7 of my plugins and created another 3 plugins.

If you are frustrated with my messy installation instructions for my plugins, this update is for you. Now for wp-dbmanager, wp-polls, wp-email you just need to upload the whole folder to the plugins folder, upload the main file to the root WordPress folder and activate and it is done. You no longer need to upload different files to different directories and no longer need to run install/upgrade files.

wp-dbmanager now can empty/drop tables and email backup database to a specified email. Also included is a htaccess file to prevent users from smart guessing your database file name and download it straight off from your site.

Now you can also view wp-stats and wp-useronline in your admin panel. I have also revamped how wp-stats display stats.

wp-postratings, wp-postviews and wp-relativedateare 3 new plugins. For wp-postratings if you are using the beta version, please drop your wp_ratingslog table because the final version has a new table name and structure.

Please check out the changelog for more information.

Hi,

About WP-UserOnline 2.02,
- any plans to put some ajax into it? so it updates in the fly
- Is it possible (and how to do it) to have the nr of users watching a page, displayed behind a cat link? Something like vBulletin has

So like:
Blogs (0)
Archives (2)
Calendar (1)
Etc the nr between the (2) is the number of users currently visiting that page…

AJAX? I don’t think will be that soon. vbulletin, invision are not using ajax for useronline if I am not wrong. But it definitely will be in in future version.

The other point sounds interesting. I see what I can do.

I’ve been using your poll plug-in for a couple months and really love it. We’re definitely appreciative. I’d like to give my 2 cents.

I noticed someone earlier was asking about combining the plug-ins. I for one am grateful for separate plug-ins. I was hesitant to install a new plug-in the other day because they bundled it with a separate plugin whose features I already had and was worried it would mess up my setup.

Second, one feature I would very much like in the poll is customizable results per poll. For instance on this blog: extrememortman.com our poll is in fact a multiple choice question with a correct answer. We’ve edited the results footer to display the correct answer but the problem is when a user goes to “Polls Archive� each poll has that results footer. I realize very much we’re using the poll plug-in in a method you never intended, but if its not much trouble to add the above functionality in the next installment it would be wonderful.

All the best,
Kris M.

yea, I will not combine it, I prefer it to be separated too. You just want to display the winner or the result? Okie, point noted, maybe I will add the winner as a template variable or something. How does that sounds?

Right, like each poll also has a custom results string, which in the poll-results setting one could use that variable.

Perfect.

Actually after reading your question again:
It sounds like you’re talking about something like and the correct answer is $poll_CorrectAnswer
I was looking for something more like: $poll_ResultsMessage, where this is a custom message we can write per poll.

custom result setting would need modification to the database. The winner and loser answer of each poll is not what you want?

Just imagine there is a right answer. I’m giving a question to see if people know the correct answer.

I’m not as concerend about a variable for the winning answer, because people can see that on the chart.

I want them to have fun voting then show that for instance answer 2 was the correct answer, but more people thought it was answer 4.

Like I said in my original post, my approach isn’t what the tool was intended for. I understand completely if it requires too much work, or is not a beneficial addition for the main purpose of the plug-in.

Love the plugins. Can you think of any reason why some people never seem to get the option to vote? They only ever see the poll results as if they have already voted. Clearing temp files and cookies does not seem to help. I can post a poll and they can be the first to even view it, but they will not get the option to answer the poll. Thanks!
