Announcing “Alphabetical Plugins”

After learning that in WordPress v2.0 (the upcoming version of WordPress that was previously known as v1.6), the plugin management page would still sort plugins by directory and filename rather than the plugin’s name (which makes a lot more sense to me), I decided to write this new plugin.

It creates a sub-page on the plugin management page in the admin area that’s exactly like the original, except that the plugins are sorted alphabetically rather than by directory & filename.

More details and a download link can be found on the plugin’s homepage.

New Version of “Quote Comment”

There is a bug with WordPress where if you have “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” enabled in your admin area, it doesn’t allow nested blockquotes (one inside the other) even though it’s valid code. Version 1.1 addresses the issue by removing any blockquotes from the quoted comment text if you have the above mentioned feature enabled.

If you have that feature enabled, you can snag the new version of the plugin on it’s homepage. Otherwise, there’s no real need to upgrade as this new version performs the same as the previous one. 😉

Viper’s Plugins Used v1.12

Haha, yes, yet another version already. v1.11 was a single/double-quote bug fix and this version is to fix a stupid mistake I made by having the script save some data to the $_POST array instead of just saving the edited POST string to my own variable.

Please download the new version (v1.12) and I’ll try to hold off releasing yet another version… or at least for a least a few days. 😛

WeatherIcon v2.2.0 Released

Garett and I have released a new version of WeatherIcon. Here are the version changes:

  • The sunrise / sunset times are now retrievable from Weather Underground. To enable, check the checkbox in the WeatherIcon configuration page.
  • Changed function argument input format to a query-string-style while keeping backwards compatibility in order to not break existing templates. For details on the query-string-style, see the WordPress Codex.
  • Added the ability to change the name of the WP-Dash widget to the location label. See this screenshot for an example.
  • Expanded “Usage Information” section on the configuration page.
  • Various bugfixes and additional debug information.

For more details, visit the WeatherIcon plugin page where you should also leave any comments.
