Photopress 0.8.1

I almost just appended a note about this version to the last post, but some of the new stuff is pretty spectacular. As usual, please let me know if you find anything broken.

New features and fixes:

  • Automatic permalink setup. Turn on the option and update your permalink structure at Options:Permalinks. Thanks to this page in the codex.
  • Paging and sorting in mass edit and browse were a bit broken but should be fixed now. I also added sorting by category.
  • The mass editor now has a delete field, and also popup links to images.
  • I added a category manager where you can change category names.
  • album.php has been renamed to pp_album.php. Now you don’t have to rename it if you copy it to your theme folder.
  • Choice of CSS classes when inserting images into posts. Enter a space-separated list of classes to use in options, with your favorite first.
  • Inserting code from the uploader or browser doesn’t close the window anymore.

Download Photopress 0.8.1: photopress.zip OR photopress.tar.gz

Photopress 0.8

I think I’ve squished enough of the bugs to share this version. Let me know about any bugs or annoyances you find.

New features:

  • Path and addresses in Options – if Photopress guesses badly you can easily enter a new path and addresses.
  • Up to ten images can be uploaded at once. (Is this enough?)
  • Now inserts simplified image tags, cleaning up the posting window a lot. (Should this be optional?)
  • Paging everywhere and better queries so working with lots of images is much smoother.
  • One button (Photos) instead of two; rewritten browse and upload tools.
  • Sorting all over the place. (Except in the album – should visitors be able to sort the album?)

When upgrading, you should probably first de-activate, delete the old plugin files, upload the new files, then re-activate the plugin. Manage:Photopress has a couple of tools to clean up your DB table if necessary.

Download Photopress 0.8: photopress.zip OR photopress.tar.gz

The Fishin’ Hole on the Homer Spit

The Fishin' Hole

This is from my trip to Alaska last summer. I broke my clavicle a little behind where I was standing when I took this.

Dasher 0.1

Dasher is a plugin that replaces the WordPress Dashboard with something more suitable for a multi-user blog with users who aren’t interested in WordPress development news. It includes an example welcome message in a separate file for easy modification.

Dasher is pretty simple (crude?). If you’re looking for something more feature-ful you probably want X-Dashboard.

Download dasher.zip.

Filez 0.1

Filez is a derivative of Photopress that adds a popup file uploader/browser to the Quicktags toolbar. I find it’s useful for uploading and making links to things like zipped plugin files.

Installation and use: Extract the archive in your WordPress plugins folder. Activate the plugin. Create a folder named ‘files’ under ‘wp-content’ and make it writable. You can give it a different name or put it somewhere else but you’ll need to configure some options at Options:Filez. Upload and browse files using the Filez button on the Quicktags toolbar. Manage your uploaded files at Manage:Filez.

Download Filez 0.1: filez.zip.

Feedback request: If you use Photopress and try Filez, let me know if you prefer the single-button-launched multi-purpose popup tool in Filez better than the separate buttons and popups in Photopress.
