WeatherIcon v3 Beta

I thought I blogged about this already, but I guess not…

WeatherIcon version 3 is coming along nicely and is already mostly done. It’s been in use for probably a month or so here on my blog. Since it’s stable for the most part, we have allowed public access to it. If you think you’re looking to help out and know your way around WordPress, please consider downloading it and running it on your blog. Thanks! 🙂

Needed: Translators

Since I’ve noticed that a lotta Germans are using my Battlefield 2 Stats WordPress plugin, I’ve decided to implement true translation options for it.

However, since I don’t speak any language but English, I need people to translate it to different languages. So, if you you fluently speak another language (any language will do) and know English pretty well, please contact me!

A Major Update for My “Battlefield 2 Stats” WordPress Plugin

I’ve released a major update for my Battlefield 2 Stats WordPress plugin. Some of the new features in this version are…

  • addition of the ranks introduced in the Battlefield 2 v1.2 patch
  • code to connect to my website every once in a while and check for a new version
  • tons of code improvements and error handling

If you are using an older version, it’s really suggested that you update. Oh, and thanks a bunch to DocSparky for testing a couple of beta versions of this plugin for me. It’s very much appreciated! 🙂

Announcing the “Battlefield 2 Stats” WordPress Plugin

I’ve just completed a new plugin that allows you to display your Battlefield 2 profile statistics. The data is fetched via a XML feed from BF2S.com. It’s intended for your sidebar, but can also be used on a WordPress page.

It’s fully configurable via an options page in the WordPress admin area and only requires that you add the plugin’s output function to your theme’s sidebar to get it working.

To see it in action, look to your right in my sidebar, just below the weather.

For more details or to download it, check out the plugin’s homepage.

“Quote Comment” v2.0 Released!

I’ve finally released the entirely recoded version of my Quote Comment plugin.

For those who haven’t heard of it before, this plugin allows commenters to quote other comments in their reply. It is highly cofigurable, all via an admin area options page. Try it out here.

As for what’s new in this version, well, everything is. In v1.x, the plugin was very simple. It’d take the content of a comment and use it to create a link that would paste the contents of that comment into the reply box.

Now, a placeholder is used instead. The default placeholder format is this: [Comment ID #123 Will Be Quoted Here]. When a comment is requested, Quote Comment replaces the placeholder with the real comment. The advantage of this is that any edits to the original comment show up in the quotes, formatting of past comments can easily be changed, etc. The only drawback is that the person quoting is not able to only quote part of the comment. Perhaps I’ll think of a way to do that later.

But for now, what are you waiting for? Go download it now!

WeatherIcon v2.3.1 Finally Released

So after having the version from Garett sit on my computer for like a month, I’ve finally combed through it, fixed some final bugs, added a few more little features, worried for a week or two if I had missed anything, and now released WeatherIcon v2.3.1. This version is pretty much entirely bug fixes with a few new trivial features.

Go download it now! It’s really recommended that you update. 🙂
