Language Packs 101 – Prepwork

One of the new features alongside the auto-update feature in WordPress 3.7 is support for “language packs”. More info about these will be coming out eventually, along with new tools for plugin and theme authors to use to manage this system (or to not have to micro-manage it, rather). A lot of this feature is […]

SFC 1.0: A quick walkthrough

Facebook recently made a breaking change to the developer process, which makes it impossible for new applications to get the correct API keys. Since this essentially broke all previous versions of SFC, I went ahead and pushed the beta version public. It’s still unfinished, but Facebook didn’t really give me a lot of choice. So, […]

SFC 1.0 – Login and Registration

Another new thing in SFC 1.0 is the new Login and Registration mechanism. The login mechanism in the older SFC worked, but it was slightly buggy and didn’t work very well. The new mechanism works quite well indeed. For starters, it will auto-connect existing accounts to Facebook, based on matching email addresses. Just Login with […]

SFC 1.0 – FB Comments Integration

Added a new feature that people have been asking me for since I created SFC to begin with: Comments Integration. When you make a post with SFC, the publisher plugin has the ability to push that post to either your Facebook Page or Profile. Up until now, the auto-publish feature has been doing this and […]

SFC 1.0 – Photo Support

Progress on the new SFC continues. Added a new plugin to it this morning: Photos. It’s a simple little plugin, and not pretty yet, but it does work. 🙂 Here’s a couple of example screenshots: The plugin itself turns out actually to be quite simple. It turns out that adding to the media tabs is […]

Adding Google’s +1 Button to WordPress Sites

Google rolled out their +1 button today. So I added it here. You’ll find it below all the posts. Try it out. Here’s the simple-stupid plugin I wrote to do it. While you can just edit your theme, I like making these sort of things into plugins. That way, I can turn them off at […]

WordPress 3.1 and XML-RPC

Every time I look through the beta of WordPress 3.1, I find something new. Today I found the WP_HTTP_IXR_Client. The IXR_Client was there in previous versions, but it didn’t use the WordPress HTTP API, and so it rarely worked for me. This wrapper/rework of it works like a charm. Some quick examples: Testing the client […]

WordPress 3.1: Advanced Taxonomy Queries

One of the new things in 3.1 that hasn’t got a lot of discussion yet is the new Advanced Taxonomy Queries mechanism. At the moment, this is still being actively developed, but the basic structure is finalized enough to give at least a semi-coherent explanation on how to use it. Since 3.1 is now going […]

WordCamp Birmingham 2010 Pics

Clearly, I am not a photographer. My set of pictures is laughable. Spent too much time talking to people and such, and virtually no time photographing them. 🙂

Quick note on SFC version 1.0

I’m about half done with this, and just wanted to give an update to those people I know who are awaiting it. I’m ditching the multiple-plugin thing. Too many complaints and too much confusion. Also, the plugin directory and updaters don’t support it well. So 1.0 will have a checkbox area where you can select […]
