WordPress 2.1

Thanks to a fellow member (Turk) in GaMerZ.Forums, I came to know that WordPress 2.1 is in the beta stages, beta 1 to be exact. Some of my plugins maybe broken with WordPress 2.1 like WP-PageNavi and WP-Stats, but I had already fixed them. If you need it to test it out, feel free to drop me an email.

If you find any of my plugins that are not compatible with WordPress 2.1, please let me know so that I do not need to test all my plugins against WordPress 2.1

Now I need some ideas, I have been thinking the name of my new downloads plugin, but just could not come out with any name nice. WP-Downloads and WP-Download-Manager is taken.

I have the following in mind:
WP-Download (without the s)
WP-FileDownloads
WP-DownloadManager

Any suggestions are welcomed =)

4 Plugins Updated & 1 New Plugin

I have released updates for 4 of my WordPress plugins namely, WP-Polls 2.13, WP-PostRatings 1.05, WP-Stats 2.06 and WP-UserOnline 2.06. These 4 plugins have been internationalized. You can now easily localize it by translating it into your own language by modifying the .po file that is inside the zip with PoEdit.

I have also release 1 new plugin called WP-Ban. It enables WordPress Admin to ban users by their IP or host name from visiting your WordPress site. When the banned users visit your WordPress Site, they will get a message which can be edited via WP-Admin -> Options -> Ban -> Ban Message.

Sorry guys but WP-Downloads is still in the works, I need to think and plan on how to integrate it.

New Support Forums

New Support Forums
Hi guys,

The support forums for my plugins is at http://forums.lesterchan.net. I have just “reformatted” it to Simple Machines. If you run into any problems with my plugin, kindly post it in the forums.

If I do not answer your question within 3 days, feel free to bump it as I may miss it.

Updates
My exams are over, hopefully I can start work on the WP-Downloads and update some of my plugins. My main focus here is to get version 3 of my site out and then all the plugins will roll out accordingly because the new site will need them. Be patient with me =)

WP-Polls 2.13
It is more or less ready to be released, I will release it sometime this week, latest by next week. It features bug fixes, poll bar styling option in Polls -> Poll Options (allowing you to use CSS or Image) and most importantly I have internationalize (no idea whether is it the right word to use) it, so now you can translate wp-polls into your own language just by modifying the .po file.

Localization And AJAX Updates

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.
