Added All My 16 Beta Plugins

I have added all my 16 plugins to this site downloads page, so you guys can grab the beta/development version of all my plugins easier.

All the plugins listed on that page are actually remote files each linking to the development version of the respective plugin over at WordPress Plugins Repository

Do note that the plugins listed there will always be beta/development version because once a version is stable, I will release it to https://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/GamerZ, and then move forward to the next development version.

» NEW: AJAX Used To Email The Post/Page

» FIXED: Displaying Friend’s E-Mail Field Is Compulsory To Prevent Error

Plugins Structure Changes

All my plugins will undergo a structure change to accommodate the Official WordPress Plugins Repository. This is also a much requested feature for most of my users as they complained that the zip file generated by WordPress Plugins Repository was 2 level deep and they got some issues when installing the plugin and the official plugin update notification will not work.

As posted in WordPress Ideas:

Some of us the older plugin authors are facing problem/hassle of restructuring the our plugin structure as our plugin name need not necessary follow the official plugin name folder naming convention.

And when user download the file from the repository, it will be the <official plugin name>\<plugin name>\<plugin>.php

As this is a major change, things will break, so I need you guys help to help me test it. The first plugin that rolls out this structure update will be WP-Polls.

The structure change for wp-polls involves:

  1. Using /wp-polls/ folder instead of /polls/
  2. Using wp-polls.php instead of polls.php
  3. Using wp-polls-widget.php instead of polls-widget.php
  4. Replacing all the old references with the new references stated above

Please kindly post any bugs found in WP-Polls Support Forum. Thank You.

I will roll out this updates to the rest of the plugins in December 2007/January 2008.

WP-Print And WP-EMail On WP 2.3

Someone reported to me that WP-Email is not working on this site, and after some checking, I also found out that WP-Print is also not working due to the extra / that WordPress generates for wp-print and wp-email permalink structure in WP 2.3.

WP-EMail has another problem which took me 4 hours just go pin-point it. Apparently when it includes wp-email.php and in wp-email.php there is a add_filter(‘the_title’) which hooks onto the title filter. For some reasons, the core WordPress function get_the_title() is casing the server to throw an error. In order to bypass it I have to create a new function to emulate something like the get_the_title() function.

I have since fixed all the bugs that I mentioned above and now WP-Print and WP-EMail will only work for WP2.3 and nothing below it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

WP-EMail 2.10 Beta

Hi guys,

WP-EMail 2.10 is ready for testing, I need you guys to help me test this out because I have re-written part of the core code to support the ability to display the email form within pages. Yes, you do not need to manually edit wp-email.php anymore. It will be integrated into the page. An example of course would be this site.

I have added the styling of the email link similar to WP-Print. Check out the screenshot, readme/changelog and download link below.

» Here is the screenshot of the additional options in WP-EMail 2.10

Thanks alot. I hope I can release this before 1st February 2007
