Comments on: 2008 Plugin Competition Review, Part 2 of 2 http://planetozh.com/blog/2008/08/2008-plugin-competition-review-part-2-of-2/?source=rss A bit of my personal life, mainly focused on my kids. A bit of code, mainly focused on Wordpress and PHP. Overall, bits of nothing in particular.

first question if I may.

Your review is very objective, technical, fair and helpful. thanks! Yes, it is oldschool javascript! Thanks for the tips! I know I need to update my code style, this was a good incentive. One thing you might have not noticed: I played a little with the CSS and the plugin does display properly when you want to print the post/page. The top ul disapears, and all the tabs are displayed as if each of them was a normal paragraph, each one with its own title. The same behavior is also applied to rss feeds. Basically every time the content is loaded without the attached css, it will display properly. About the color picker, I just look for one I could use. I would also like a better one. cheers Leo,, (postTabs)

I will most certainly look into them and work at improving the plugin. Especially your security and performance concerns. As for the indents, that's something I really need to start doing again. I used to indent by code "properly" but got out of the habit for some reason. I don't have much trouble reading and maintaining it most of the time, but I do think it would help if I forced myself into the habit of indenting again. Thank you for your comments on WP125.

I'm a big fan of your blog and your projects and have used information I've learned from you on numerous occasions as I've developed my plugins. I really appreciate the comments about potential problems and will use that information to work on future versions. I'll use methods other than ini_set() to load the includes and will look at ways to protect the core WordPress files from overwriting. I'm also working on having the uploads bind to the Media Library so that they are accessible for use later and deletion. Thanks again for the review.

On our personal blogs we use many of your great plugins. The code of our plugin is indeed obfusticated. We did that for many reasons, the main one was that we released a plugin under a different name once and within a week we found 3 other versions of it with little to no change to our original code and not a single hat tip back to us. It kind of pissed us off that we went through all that work just to have it so easily and blatantly taken credit for by others. In any case, we do have a new version of this plugin coming out in the next few days. It will have a ton of new features. Also, we have a companion plugin coming out as well in the next few days that should prove fun for a lot of bloggers out there. In any case, than you for the review and keep up the outstanding work that you are famous for. TIAFO Team Hi Ozh,

I do get a bit carried away with my plugin page descriptions sometimes :) I was surprised you didn't enter this year. I was looking forward to seeing what you would come up with. Hey Ozh

Sorry that you were not able to review my plugin but it was probably best. I have a love hate relationship with programming but I needed something that worked for me and it did not exist. As such the code is not like poetry as one would hope but rather like a piece of fine grit sandpaper. I am hoping to find the time to re-write the plugin from the ground up properly so others will find it easier to follow.
