WP-ServerInfo

I have coded this plugin within a night. It enables you to display your server’s PHP information from “phpinfo()” and MYSQL information from “SHOW VARIABLES” on your Dashboard under the sub-tab called “WP-ServerInfo”. Here is a screenshot of it. I will release it along side with almost all my plugins updates for WordPress 2.1. Most of them will break with WordPress 2.0.x including this because I am using some of the functions available in WordPress 2.1 only.

If you are wondering what plugin I used to modify those dates to Today, Yesterday, 5 Days ago, 1 minute ago, etc. It is one of my plugin called WP-RelativeDate.

Total Voters And Total Votes

I have reviewed how Invision Board and vBulletin implemented their multiple answers poll and I have decided to use it on WP-Polls. As of now, there will be a new term called Total Voters. This term will contain the number of voters who voted for the poll.

If you are using a poll which allow single answer only, your Total Voters = Total Votes because 1 user can only choose 1 vote.

But if you have a poll which allows multiple answers to be selected, Total Voters will mean the total number of uses that voted for your poll and Total Votes will mean the total number of votes that has been casted on your poll.

For example, if a user selected 3 answers for the poll, the Total Voters will only be incremented by 1, but on the other hand, the Total Votes will be incremented by 3 because that user selected 3 answers.

If anyone of you need clearer explanation, just post it in the comments. Just give me 1 more week before I release WP-Polls 2.20 beta for testing.

WordPress 3.3 Beta 4

WordPress 3.3 Beta 4 has been released!

With all our major tickets closed, we are very close to a release candidate. In Beta 4 we’ve fixed a bunch of bugs, cleaned up the UI, added real text in some of the screens that still had placeholder text in Beta 3 (post-update screen, the Dashboard welcome area, new feature pointers), and generally tightened things up. We updated to jQuery 1.7.1 and addressed a LOT of bugs.
