WP-Polls Update

» Now you can change WP-Polls’s Poll Bar style in WP-Admin itself, one of the features that I longing to implement is finally implemented. See that in action.

» WP-Polls is now 100% localize thanks to Ravan and Philippe Corbes.

» If you do not like WP-Polls and wish to remove it totally, you wish came true. The built-in uninstaller by Philippe Corbes does the trick.

» The usage instructions is now in the plugin itself under Polls -> Polls Usage

On other plugins, I will work on WP-Downloads and WP-Ban in December, expect it to be out for testing by January 2007.

WP-DBManager 2.61

WP-DBManager 2.61 has been released and it fixes a security vulnerability which will allow user to download your wp-config.php. If you do not use the default backup folder path, you are not affected by this.

However, most users are affected and it is recommended that you upgrade WP-DBManager to 2.61.

WP-DBManager 2.62 will be out on Tuesday with added nonce security and auto-repair functionality.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Download: WP-DBManager 2.61

WP-Polls 2.20 Logs

Someone mentioned in the forums that since WP-Polls 2.20 allows users to vote for multiple answers, it make sense to revamp the whole logging part of WP-Polls and to allow administrator better understand his site’s voters preference.

I have since done so but it is still in a planning stages, comments and ideas are all welcomed. Here is a screenshot to get my point across.

I have removed the poll’s log from the Edit Poll and move it to its own page called log. There will be paging in the log page for sure.

There are 3 main ways you can filter the logs.

1. You can choose to display all the users that voted for a certain answers in a poll and you can choose what type voters you want to display.

2. View the answer voted by registered users or comment authors. It will not support guests.

3. You can choose to display the users who voted for more than 2 answers and what they voted for. This option is only available if the poll supports multiple answers.

Registered Users – It means the user is registered with your WordPress blog.
Comment Authors – Visitors who posted comments in your blog before and hence we are able to get his name/nickname via the cookies. 2 comment authors may share the same name, so it is not 100% accurate.
Guests – Self explanatory
