About Plugins and Roles in WordPress MU

WordPress MU is a hacked version of WordPress that can manage several blogs from a single install. Basically, most of the things (plugins and themes) made for WP work for WPMU (don't take this as a golden rule though) Today on wp-hackers' mailing list, Donncha posted an interesting message about two fundamental differences between WP and WPMU, regarding plugins and…

A few days laters, I received an email from COLOURlovers' chief lover, Darius, letting me know about the API they were about to release (and did released since, of course) At this time, I had no spare time…

It’s Still Cooking… And It’s Hot!

I've been a Colour Lover since a few years, I love that site. A few weeks ago, they sent me an email telling that they were about to release an API to play with colors and palettes created by other color lovers, so what could I do? A WordPress plugin, obviously. Warning: this is going to be TAFW (Too Addictive…

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! :)

Cute Little Plugin: Better Plugin Page

My "Manage Plugins" page are getting quite lengthy: this blogs is running 31 plugins, my test blog is running nearly a hundred. Over the time I have been bringing a few custom enhancements to this page, which I'm now releasing as a plugin. Better Plugin Page adds some simple yet efficient (at least I think:) improvements and less clutter, with…

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.

Week-End Plugin Updates

I've updated two of my plugins today: Absolute Comments to version 2.2 and Admin Drop Down Menu to version 2.1. So, what's new ? Absolute Comments 2.2 brings its own administration page within the admin area and fixes the "View All" links (to view all comments for a particular post) which were broken for pages and attachments. This plugin now…
