flickpress 1.9.1

This release adds one big feature, refines a few things introduced in the last release, and fixes some bugs.

First the bugs: A discussion about WP_DEBUG on the wp-hackers list inspired me to turn it on track down the avalanche of warnings, notices, and errors that flickpress was causing. Actually, it wasn’t that bad and fixing the issues didn’t take long. The major change was in the widget code – I was still using pre-2.8 widget functions. So, if you’re using the widget you may will need to check re-enter your settings. I also found and fixed a few breadcrumb problems in the popup tool.

Refinements: Thanks to some feedback from Gustav, I changed the before/between/after caption text fields to allow HTML. This can be used for a variety of things, such as breaking the caption into two lines or wrapping the caption with a tag to use custom style. The last version added simple ThickBox lightbox support, but in case you wish to use another lightbox method I added a custom lightbox option that works with plugins like LightBox Plus.

New feature: On the settings page you can now specify default licenses for photo searches. This will save you a few clicks if you always search for photos licensed the same way.

Get flickpress 1.9.1 at the WordPress Plugin Directory or by upgrading as usual in your WordPress admin panel.

Growing tomato

We’ve got a few tomato plants growing in containers. The little cherry-sized ones like this one are doing pretty well.

oEmbed FlickrLinkr 0.4

This update adds a bunch of options to customize the appearance of embedded Flickr images and their captions. Here’s what you can do now:

  • Specify classes for the container div and image to control their layout/appearance.
  • Change the order of the title and author in the caption, or omit the author from the caption.
  • Specify text (including HTML) to insert before, between, and after the caption elements.

Get oEmbed FlickrLinkr 0.4 at the WordPress Plugins Directory.

Here’s an example with aligncenter on the div and some HTML in the text at the start of the caption (might change if I change the settings later – that’s how oEmbeds work):

Grill Brush

From an outing with the K20D and 50/4 Macro-Takumar. I added an extension tube to get even closer.
