WordPress 2.5 introduces a neat option: per user Admin Color Scheme. This means that each user can select a stylesheet they like best for the whole admin area. Now onto the fun stuff: adding a per-user selectable custom stylesheet for your blog. Concept The new function behind this feature is wp_admin_css_color(), which is used as following: < View plain text…
WordPress 2.5 basically breaking every plugin that was messing with the admin area, I have a number of plugin to update. My favorite one, Admin Drop Down Menu, is now fully compatible with the next blue thing (aka WP 2.5), but the other ones are still to be updated: A fix for Absolute Comments is under way (but boy, I…
With WordPress 2.5 and its completely revamped admin interface coming out, the mother of all the Admin menus needed a lifting. So it got one! Version 2.0 of my popular Admin Drop Down Menu, for WordPress 2.5+ only, has been completely reworked. It now features vertical dropdown menus, which should be easier to click and which should behave more nicely…
Migrating Plugins from 2.3 to 2.5. WordPress coders, get prepared for the upcoming 2.5 (to be released on March 10th). Themes shouldn't be affected by the new features and code, but plugins messing with the admin area will probably need a rework.
I'm extremely pleased and excited to (finally!) release my latest plugin, Absolute Comments, which is probably the most useful plugin I've written to date. I love it. Absolute Comments adds something that everybody misses: the ability to reply to comments from within your regular "Manage Comments" page, without having to load the post page first. It also adds to each…
My next plugin is ready for shipping, but I like it so much already that I want to give it some special treatment: a polyglot release. I'm looking for a few kind translators willing to spend 3 minutes to take care of about 20 words or short sentences, and translate these in their mother tongue. I'm doing the English and…
Yet another slight update to Who Sees Ads. This release, stamped 1.3.3, fixes a small glitch that would make the "Help Intro and Wizard" always show, and also fixes a bug in the way custom search engines can be defined in your my_options.php. On the prospective side of things, I'm currently searching (if there is) a way to make Who…
Welcome back to the "Who Sees Ads" blog. No, seriously, I'd really like to get over this now, but I guess it's all my fault if when I add features, some pesky bugs manage to sneak in :) Some were quite trivial to fix, but I'd like to publicly thank Steffen Richter again for his help. Steffen sent me the…
Another upgrade for Who Sees Ads, everybody's favorite ad management plugin. This version is not a trivial bug fix but do contains a few interesting stuff for everybody. New features: Widget support! Thanks to the excellent Denis de Bernardy's suggestions and code, widget aware themes can now fully manage object positioning in their sidebars. A widget is created for each…
Yet another minor update for Who Sees Ads which was requested by people using popularish and conflicting plugins: ImageManager and WP-Contact-Form. Current version of Who Sees Ads, 1.2.2, adds support for WP-Contact-Form's terrible code. I hate to say this and I mean no offense to Ryan who wrote the plugin, but the code is really pretty bad and is likely…
