I released a number of WordPress plugins over the last 10 years ("24 plugins and 1,062,110 downloads", says my fun bookmarklet) and they all mostly fall in one of these three categories: Outdated stuff that are no longer maintained because I don't need them anymore Simple stuff that don't require any maintenance because they just work and will probably work…
OK, let's step down a bit from Twitter for a while. This is a much overdue update to the übercòól Admin Drop Down Menu. Aside from minor tweaks related to the upcoming WordPress 2.8, more languages than ever (German being the latest addition), the plugin is now fully RTL friendly (hence the so witty post title) I'm warmly thanking a…
Most of the time, I quite like coding WordPress plugins. Nonetheless, in the programming flow, there is something that I hate: all the localization process that takes place at the end of a project. That is, making sure I didn't hardcode a string that won't be translated, creating or updating the .pot template files ("OK, for the 1000th time, how…
Argh, the dev team caught me by surprise: when I saw WP 2.7 RC2 yesterday, I thought I had a couple of days more, but they decided to release the final 2.7 a few hours later :) So, rather than respond to gazillions (or so) of comments asking about an upgrade, I've committed earlier this morning version 3.0 of Admin…
The unstable version of WordPress is now showing version "2.7-almost-beta" and you pretty much see most of what it's going to be. Basically… WordPress 2.7 is killing my plugins! Absolute Comments probably won't get updated for 2.7 since most of its feature will be built-in. Almost 3 years ago I wrote the first ever Admin Drop Down Menu plugin and…
Edit: Oops! I actually forgot to press the "Commit" button :) Now you can get the new version! Here is another update of your favorite plugin, the ubermighty Admin Drop Down Menu. I'll make it short: Fixed: a bug with Safari & OSX that was causing sort of blank screens. Thanks to Dale for being a tester for me. He…
Update: I've update the plugin doc and added a page for plugin coders. I've just committed version 2.3 of the mother of all admin menu plugins, Admin Drop Down Menu, and there are some pretty hot stuff inside. Plugin coders, be sure to read this till the end. First, it's finally ready for translation. That's something I've been asked a…
I've just committed a quick update to Admin Drop Down Menu, now showing version number 2.2.1 This update brings in a few CSS tweaks and improves the compatibility with Fluency, so if you're using this admin theme you'll be happier after upgrading. On the subject of this wonderful little plugin, my ego quite inflated yesterday when I came across this…
Kaspars updated is fun plugin Baltic Amber (bringing some refreshing change in the WordPress backend with a set of new stylesheets) to make it fully compatible with my own Admin Drop Down Menu. He threw in some really nice subtle tweaks (see screenshot) that make the two plugins coexist very harmoniously. Good job Kaspars! :)
For those who have updated to Admin Drop Down Menu v2.1 yesterday, if you happen to also use Fluency, please re-download my plugin. I fixed compatibility between them, everything should be fine now.
