WP-PostRatings 1.31 Beta 1

WP-PostRatings is my only plugin left which still uses an external Javascript file in .php instead of .js.

Finally, I have gotten rid of .php and now the only two Javascript files in WP-PostRatings are in .js and best of all, they are packed using Dean Edward’s Packer. This will not only reduce the size of the Javascript file but also lessen the load on the server as .js files can be served as static files which requires no overhead in processing.

Changelog:

NEW: Renamed postratings-admin-js.php To postratings-admin-js.js and Move The Dynamic Javascript Variables To The PHP Pages
NEW: Renamed postratings-js.php To postratings-js.js and Move The Dynamic Javascript Variables To The PHP Pages
NEW: Uses postratings-js-packed.js And postratings-admin-js-packed.js

I need you guys to help me test WP-PostRatings 1.31 to ensure that it is working like normal as before.

Upgrading from WP-PostRatings 1.30 to WP-PostRatings 1.31 Beta 1 is very easy, just overwrite all the files will do. You do not need to run anything.

Thank You

PS: I have upgraded this site to WP-PostRatings 1.31 Beta 1, if there is any bug in the rating systems do let me know.

WordPress 3.5 RC3

WordPress 3.5 RC3 has been released, I am expecting it to be the last RC and we will see the final WordPress 3.5 sometime within this week. No idea whether they will meet the originally targeted date of 5th December 2012.

  • Final UI improvements for the new media manager, based on lots of great feedback.
  • Show more information about uploading errors when they occur.
  • When inserting an image into a post, don’t forget the alternative text.
  • Fixes for the new admin button styles.
  • Improvements for mobile devices, Internet Explorer, and right-to-left languages.
  • Fix cookies for subdomain installs when multisite is installed in a subdirectory.
  • Fix ms-files.php rewriting for very old multisite installs.

Here is a list of pending issues (6 left): http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5

WordPress 3.6 Beta 1

WordPress 3.6 Beta 1 has been released! The final version of WordPress 3.6 is expected to ship on 29th April 2013.

To start off, WordPress 3.6 will ship with a new default theme, named Twenty Thirteen.

What’s New In WordPress 3.6

  • Post Formats: Post Formats now have their own UI, and theme authors have access to templating functions to access the structured data.
  • Twenty Thirteen: We’re shipping this year’s default theme in our first release of the year. Twenty Thirteen is an opinionated, color-rich, blog-centric theme that makes full use of the new Post Formats support.
  • Audio/Video: You can embed audio and video files into your posts without relying on a plugin or a third party media hosting service.
  • Autosave: Posts are now autosaved locally. If your browser crashes, your computer dies, or the server goes offline as you’re saving, you won’t lose the your post.
  • Post Locking: See when someone is currently editing a post, and kick them out of it if they fall asleep at the keyboard.
  • Nav Menus: Nav menus have been simplified with an accordion-based UI, and a separate tab for bulk-assigning menus to locations.
  • Revisions: The all-new revisions UI features avatars, a slider that scrubs through history, and two-slider range comparisons.

WP-Downloads

I wonder if anybody is interested in this plugin which I think I may name it WP-Downloads. I ported it over from my WP 1.5.2 Site (http://www.lesterchan.net/blogs/) and modify it a little to be WP 2.0 friendly. What it does is basically add a little Download Section in your WordPress site. It will just keep track of how many times a file is downloaded. It will be a single page Download Section with categories to separate the files. I am still considering whether or not to add a upload feature to it as PHP only supports maximum 2MB of upload. Right now you have to upload the file to a directory set in the option page. I have not coded the user side yet, but the admin side is more or less done.

Give me your comments on this.

A similar demo is on http://www.lesterchan.net/others/downloads.php.
