Remote File

Posted by Lester Chan at 14:31 in WP-DownloadManager, WP-PostRatings

I have added a feature to WP-DownloadManager that will allow you to add a remote file to the downloads. This remote file will looks as if it resides on your own server and the process is totally transparent to the user. The only downside is at times it is unable to get the file size and hence it will display as unknown.

I have added WP-PostRatings 1.20 Beta 1 as an example of remote file. Remember that the file does not reside in this sever but it is pointing to a remote file url which is http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-postratings.zip

  WP-PostRatings 1.50 Beta 1 (unknown, 9,673 hits)

WP-PostRatings Up/Down Ratings

Posted by Lester Chan at 23:45 in WP-PostRatings

Many of you guys requested the up/down or some call it thumbs up/thumbs down feature in WP-PostRatings. I am proud to say that along side with the default rating styles, you can have the up/down ratings easily and on top of that you can have custom image for each individual rating. So what that means is that, if you want to have 5 different images for 5 different type of ratings instead of the same old 5 repetitive stars, now you can.

I have also make it compatible with WP-Cache, thanks to the code provided by Nir Aides. This time there is a huge modification to the core code and I need beta testers for this. If anyone of you guys is interested, drop me an email @ gamerz84 AT hotmail DOT com.

Thank you.

Widgets And Uninstaller

Posted by Lester Chan at 17:00 in WP-PostRatings, WP-PostViews

In short, Widgets and Uninstaller will be included in WP-PostRatings and WP-PostViews in version 1.20 onwards

WP-PostRatings widget supports “Most Rated” and “Highest Rated” posts and/or pages. WP-PostViews widget supports “Most Viewed” post and/or pages.

This should make quite a lot of users happy because they always wanted this feature instead of manually inputting php codes into the widget.

I have also added in an option page for WP-PostViews under “WP-Admin -> Options -> Post Views” in version 1.20. So now user can choose to let WP-PostViews count views from everyone, guest only or registered users only from the options page rather than manually editing the php code.

The release date hopefully will be around October 2007.

WP-PostRatings 1.11

Posted by Lester Chan at 01:14 in WP-PostRatings

There is a bug in WP-PostRatings 1.11 together with WordPress 2.1.x which will not remember any ratings if you have rated the post. The bug seems to go away if you are using WordPress 2.2. I presumed there is some changes to the add_post_meta() and update_post_meta() in WP 2.2. I have since fixed the bug and now it works perfectly on WP 2.1.x and WP 2.2.

If you guys have previously downloaded WP-PostRatings 1.11, kindly re-download it again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Poll/Rating AJAX Style Option

Posted by Lester Chan at 23:28 in WP-Polls, WP-PostRatings

I have added 2 minor features to WP-PostRatings and WP-Polls. It is the ability to choose whether to show the loading image with text and the fading in and out of the poll/rating.

Some of you may not like the loading image with text, and now your wish came true, you can choose not to display it under the respective options menu.

For those CSS validating freaks, the opacity CSS value for wp-polls and wp-postratings will not pass CSS validation at W3. Now all you have to do is remove those lines in the respective css file and choose “No” for “Show Fading In And Fading Out Of Polls/Ratings”

One last thing before I end, as you all may know, if polls or ratings is embedded within the post, when viewing feed for the post, the post content might appear unsightly, so now let me gather your feedback to this issue with a poll.

Are You Looking Forward To WordPress 3.0?

WP-Polls And WP-PostRatings Issues With Opera

Posted by Lester Chan at 23:00 in WP-Polls, WP-PostRatings

It has come to my knowledge that wp-polls and wp-postratings does not work with Opera. After much research, I found out that Opera does not support alpha/opacity.

» WP-Polls Fixed polls-js.js
» WP-PostRatings Fixed postratings-js.js

Just overwrite the old .js file with the new .js file as attached in the forum post listed above.
