Too soon, I know, but this update actually adds a useful feature. Here’s what’s new:

• Added an option to set the class for the caption div. It defaults to “alignnone” as before if you don’t set it to anything.
• Updated phpFlickr to the latest version. Nothing new from that so far, but this may allow me to implement some new features later.

As usual, you can get flickpress 1.3 from the WordPress Plugins Directory.

This update doesn’t change much, so as usual you should only upgrade if you see something in the changes that sounds interesting. Straight out of the changelog in the readme:

• Switched to using wp-load.php in the popup tool.
• Turned captions on by default.
• Moved things around on the photo insert page to work better on netbook screens.
• Tested with WP 2.9.

This update just adds some options to the widget, so if you don’t use the widget there’s no need to update. @susansoaps asked how to display images horizontally with the widget, which wasn’t easy to do because the widget was wrapping images in <p> tags. So, the widget now offers options to specify exactly what you want displayed before and after each image. The plugin checks and cleans a few things, but it does NOT check to be sure your tags match or even close properly – check your tags if your site looks broken. Some quick hints:

• For a horizontal row of images, just leave before and after blank. Put a space in after if you want space between your images.
• For a vertical presentation, use <p> before and </p> after or just <br /> after.

This update adds a bunch of error checks and notices to make sure that you enter a working Flickr API key and a working capability in the settings. I set “edit_posts” as the default capability to use the plugin since choosing that was a little nebulous. I also fixed a bug where only the first page of search results was showing up (which I noticed while adding some jquery show/hide stuff for the license lists). Finally, I added an option to turn off captions by default. They’re still turned on to start with, but I figure that if you’re just using this plugin with your own photos you might not want captions.

There’s now a nice changelog in the WordPress Plugins Directory that you can check out to see if I missed anything.

This update to flickpress expands the search feature I added to the previous version, adding search for user photos too. I also added a list of the Creative Commons and other licenses so you can choose which you’d like to search – maybe useful if you want to find a photo photo you don’t need to attribute. Finally, you can now add users by either email or username.

Due to a switch to the probably-recommended method of doing settings pages this version requires WordPress 2.8 or later.
