GaMerZ.WordPress

The most general noticeable change would be the path to the plugin is now fixed. Previously it was nested in another folder and I got several hate mails because of that. Since the path problem has been solved, the Automatic Plugin Upgrade should work in theory.

The current version of all my plugins will work on WordPress 2.5 PROVIDED you have upgraded your WordPress blog from WP 2.x to WP 2.5.

If you are using a fresh copy of WordPress 2.5 together with my plugins, it WILL NOT work as WordPress 2.5 changes the Activation Global Scope Of The Plugins. In simpler terms, it means that upon activation of my plugins in WP-Admin, it will not create the tables needed by the respective plugins.

To solve this problem temporary, do the following in polls.php (I am using WP-Polls as an example):

Find:

1
2
3

$wpdb->pollsq = $table_prefix.'pollsq';
$wpdb->pollsa = $table_prefix.'pollsa';
$wpdb->pollsip = $table_prefix.'pollsip';

Replace:

1
2
3
4

global $wpdb;
$wpdb->pollsq = $wpdb->prefix.'pollsq';
$wpdb->pollsa = $wpdb->prefix.'pollsa';
$wpdb->pollsip = $wpdb->prefix.'pollsip';

Note the addition of the “global $wpdb;” and the replacement of “$table_prefix” with “$wpdb->prefix“.

I have updated WP-Polls, WP-ServerInfo, WP-Sticky and WP-UserOnline to work with WordPress 2.5. You can get them here at my downloads page (do note that they are still in beta). Those plugins that end with a “Beta 2″ means it will work for WordPress 2.5.

Some of the updates are:

• Making sure that the styling, alignment and color of the plugin matches WordPress 2.5
• Fixes the “Activation Global Scope” issue
• Updated WP-Polls TinyMCE plugin to work with TinyMCE 3.0
• Added a summary of WP-ServerInfo as a Dashboard Widget
• Added a summary of WP-UserOnline in the Right Now Dashboard Widget

The 2 new plugins are WP-DownloadManager and WP-PluginsUsed. As the name of the plugins suggest, WP-DownloadManager simply enhanced your WordPress by adding a simple download manager to it. WP-PluginsUsed will displays both active and inactive plugins that you are using in your WordPress blog.

Mashable had featured 3 of my plugins namely WP-Polls, WP-PostRatings and WP-UserOnline in one of the post named 30+ AJAX-Powered WordPress Plugins.

Thank you Mashable!

Mark from Weblog Tools Collection also put in very nice words about me in his post.

Thank you Mark!

Lorelle has dedicated the month of February for WordPress plugins.

WP-PostViews, WP-Stats and WP-UserOnline have been featured in Counting WordPress: Statistics WordPress Plugins.

WP-Print has been featured in WordPress Plugins That Play With Paper and Documents

UPDATE: THANK YOU Lorelle for adding in WP-Stats =)

Localization
I have localize WP-Stats and WP-UserOnline in addition to WP-Polls. If any one of you willing are to test it for me, the downloads links are as follows:
» WP-Stats 2.06 Localized Version
» WP-UserOnline 2.06 Localized Version

If you do test it, please feedback to me if there are any text not translated properly or can be improved. Thanks alot.

Example of WP-UserOnline: You need to create a new .po based on the .pot then after translating you need to save as for example: wp-useronline-de_DE.po where de_DE is your language. The poedit (I assume you are using poedit) will generate a file called wp-useronline-de_DE.mo.

Note: make sure that both files are in wp-content/plugins/useronline

AJAX
WP-Polls and WP-UserOnline now processes AJAX in their own file like polls.php and useronline.php instead of index.php. I think in this way it will be faster and it will have lesser conflicts with other plugins. I have also removed the Javascript variable site_url in them because it is not used.

WP-Polls 2.12 Beta
» No more the use of IMG tag to generate the poll’s result. It is now based on DIV tag. The default class to it is ‘pollbar-image’ in which it will use the image as the background in the DIV. If you like something simpler, you can always replace it with ‘pollbar-css’. This will use CSS to generate the color of the poll result bar which can be configured in ‘polls-css.css’.

» I have gotten rid of wp-polls.php and the archive link below the Poll. Now if you want to to show the Polls Archive, just create a page and type in [ page_polls ] (without any spaces) in the post’s content area.

» Now you can have the title of the Poll’s Widget.

» Ability to logged by Username instead of by cookie/ip.

» Fixed an AJAX problem in which if the site’s URL doesn’t match WP Option’s Site URL, WP-Polls will not work.

WP-UserOnline 2.05 Beta
» I have gotten rid of wp-useronline.php. Now to show the UserOnline page, just create a page and type in [ page_useronline ] (without any spaces) in the post’s content area, followed by the URL to that newly created page in ‘WP-Admin -> Options -> Useronline’.

» Changed in WP-UserOnline structure: Members Mean Registered Users and Guests Mean Comment Authors or Visitors

» get_users_browsing_site(false) and get_users_browsing_page(false) will now return an array containing Total Users, Total Members, Total Guests and Total Bots Online

» Now you can have the title of the UserOnline’s Widget.

» Fixed an AJAX problem in which if the site’s URL doesn’t match WP Option’s Site URL, WP-UserOnline will not work.

If you look on the right, those items on the sidebar all called widgets. I find them kinda cool and hence I have created widgets for WP-Polls, WP-UserOnline and WP-Stats.

New version of WP-UserOnline and WP-Stats will be coming out on 1st July 2006. Any plugins used on this site are all the latest builds.

I have added the ability to list the users online at the site currently, look at the sidebar.

Fix: pural and singular grammer mistakes. 0 == pural
Fix: If user does not have wp-stats, it will not display the link.
