My Programming Portfolio Page

I have changed all my plugins download links listed on My Programming Portfolio Page to point to the Official WordPress Plugins Repository instead of to my own site as many users have problem downloading it from my site because DreamHost is quite sucky recently. I have been able to download it at times and most of the times the download just got cut off. So I figured out it would be better to point it directly to plugins repository instead.

Sorry if it took so long, I have been very busy with my school.

My First Facebook App

Always wanted to try out creating a Facebook Application and finally took a little bit of time of and created a simple Facebook App called GaMerz.WordPress.

The application simply displays my live site traffic (users online) and the latest post for this site. The file is placed in the WordPress plugins folder but it does not need to get activated. If anybody wants the source code, just drop me an email.


GaMerZ.WordPress Facebook Application

– GaMerZ.WordPress Facebook Application Install URL
– GaMerZ.WordPress Facebook Application URL

Here are some links to help you get started:
– Facebook PHP Client Library
– Step-by-step Guide to Creating a Facebook Application
– Facebook Developers Wiki

WordPress 2.2

WordPress 2.2 has been released and as usual I have updated this site to it. Here are the goodies copy + paste from WordPress.org.

» WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
» Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
» A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
» Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page. (I know it sounds geeky, but try it!)
» We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
» Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
» We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.

My plugins should not break with WordPress 2.2 because the code changes are not significant unlike from WordPress 2.0 to WordPress 2.1. However, if they do break, PLEASE POST IT IN THE SUPPORT FORUMS and not in the comments. Thank you =)

WordPress 2.6 Release

http://wordpress.org/development/2008/07/wordpress-26-tyner/trackback/

WordPress 2.6 has been released.

Here are some new features of WordPress 2.6:

  • Post Revisions: Wiki-like tracking of edits
  • Press This!: Post from wherever you are on the web
  • Shift Gears: Turbo-speed your blogging
  • Theme Previews: See it before your audience does
  • Word count
  • Image captions under your image
  • Bulk management of plugins
  • A completely revamped image control to allow for easier inserting, floating, and resizing. It’s now fully integrated with the WYSIWYG
  • Drag-and-drop reordering of Galleries
  • Plugin update notification bubble
  • Customizable default avatars
  • You can now upload media when in full-screen mode
  • Remote publishing via XML-RPC and APP is now secure (off) by default
  • Full SSL support in the core, and the ability to force SSL for security
  • You can now have many thousands of pages or categories with no interface issues
  • Ability to move your wp-config file and wp-content directories to a custom location, for “clean” SVN checkouts
  • Select a range of checkboxes with “shift-click.”
  • You can toggle between the Flash uploader and the classic one
  • A number of proactive security enhancements, including cookies and database interactions
  • Stronger better faster versions of TinyMCE, jQuery, and jQuery UI

2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5 from a plugin and theme compatibility point of view, so upgrades from 2.5 should be pretty painless. The 2.5 branch will no longer be maintain so everyone is encouraged to upgrade.

» Download WordPress 2.6

PS: The current version of my plugins should work well with WordPress 2.6 except WP-DownloadManager. Nevertheless, I will release updates to all of them tomorrow.
