Upcoming: NotifyMe2

January 1st, 2009

notifyme2If you’ve previously used my NotifyMe plugin, you’ll probably be excited to hear that I’ve finally started development on NotifyMe2, even though the initial NotifyMe plugin never reached a final version. The reason that I’m going straight to version 2 is that I am starting from scratch again, seeing as I’ve gained a lot more experience since initially starting NotifyMe, I want to apply that experience as best I can.

Following are my ideas about the project, what exactly I want to achieve by making yet another mailing list plugin for Wordpress.. and while I’m at that subject I would like to point out that I was originally not planning to develop NotifyMe any further, since there are loads of alternatives.. but I’ve gotten a lot of e-mails from people who loved the simplicity of the plugin and would prefer not to reach out to alternatives.

Therefore, my goals on this project are;

  • To yet again, create a very simplistic (yet advanced, but not bloated) mailing list plugin
  • To have it integrate with Wordpress as best I can
    • By this I mean I want it to match the wordpress style in every aspect.
    • I have removed any Naatan.com abbreviations, this would break the integration from my point of view.
  • Initially I want to release a basic plugin that does exactly what it needs to do and nothing more, from there I will continue to extend it, though as I said, I do not want it to become bloated.
  • To develop a better way to notify users of new blog items, a way that would not break other plugin hooks and filters.
    • Cron job support for these type of notifications

Those are basically the goals I have at the moment, once I’ve reached them I will continue to add functionality to the plugin, I currently have some ideas about adding category/tag specific notifications for mailing lists, but I consider this an extra functionality which will not be required in the initial release.

Well that’s about it, I hope the people that have been e-mailing me asking for a new version have not given up hoping, if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be doing this :)

New Wordpress Plugin: Post Filters

November 16th, 2008

Post Filters ScreenshotMy second plugin released in one day :ohhyeahh:, it’s a small one though.. called Post Filters.

I am still working on some more plugins, this one I created out of necessity, I wanted to have my plugin pages skip the frontpage and stick to their relative category.
So why not use a page? Well the links in my navigation bar are generated by the categories I post in.. and pages don’t have categories.. so there.

Anyway, what this plugin does:

Gives you the ability to have posts skip the frontpage and to stick a post to the top of all it’s relative categories.

Hopefully some more people can find a good use for this ;)

New Wordpress Plugin: Twitter Status

November 16th, 2008

ScreenshotTwitter Status is a very simple no-fuzz plugin that gets the current Twitter message from the Twitter ID specified, when someone visits your website there will be an ajax script running in the background doing a GET request every 30 seconds.
This request will trigger the Plugin to get all Author profiles with a twitter ID, and update their Twitter status, given that they haven’t been updated in at least 30 minutes and with a limit of 5 twitter profiles per request.

You can change these settings by editing the plugin file (before activating it).. the settings are easily accessible, no knowledge of PHP required.. I will incorporate a configuration page in future versions, for now I wanted to make an initial release that’s down to the complete basics.

I am also working on a couple more usefull plugins which should be coming along soon..

  • Post Filters
    Gives you the ability to have posts .. 

    • Skip the Frontpage
    • Act as a sticky on Category pages (and -only- on Category pages)
  • Raw Posts
    Will process posts EXACTLY the way you edit them in the wysiwyg editor, it bypasses the wordpress filters completely.
    This will quite definitely create conflict with plugins that rely on Wordpress’ filtering.
  • Raw Syntaxhighlighter
    Source code highlighter that works with the Raw Posts plugin

I’m also working on a PDO wrapper to make it’s functionality more accessible, though this is of course not related to Wordpress in any way.

Features

  • Ajax powered
  • Get Twitter status by;
    • Twitter ID
    • User ID
    • Username

Installation

Unzip the twitter-status folder into your plugins folder and activate the plugin in your admin cp.

Usage

After installing, edit the author profiles in wp-admin that you would like to assign a Twitter profile to.

You can use the following tags in your templates:


<?php twitter('Username') ?>


<?php twitter('twitter_id=xxxx') ?>


<?php twitter('user_id=xxxx') ?>

These functions will all echo the current status stored in the Database for the given user.

You can use the following function to get the twitter status DIRECTLY from twitter, but keep in mind that using this will cause a delay in the loadtime of the page;


<?php echo twitter_status_get('xxx') ?>

For “xxx” enter the twitter ID.
