I’ve just published a minor update to the Text Obfuscator WordPress plugin to the plugin directory. This is an update I have sat on for a while but have decided to push in its current form.
There are only minor changes in this version:
I hope the white space handling will help out a few people who wish to match strings which include white space before and after their match string. Please leave a comment if you run into any problems with this release!
After quite a lot of silence on this front, this morning I released version 1.3 of the Text Obfuscator plugin for WordPress. This version contains some new features and an overhaul to the user interface with the aim of making it a little easier to configure especially in light of the growing feature set. If you’re using the plugin I’d love to hear your feedback.
The full changelog is below:
The plugin can be downloaded from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
I have just released an update to my simple WordPress string replacement plugin Text Obfuscator. This release contains a minor feature upgrade and a small change to the logic flow to make this and future new features easier to implement, it contains no bug fixes. It is tagged as version 1.2.
The full changelog is as follows:
As always, the plugin is available from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
Text Obfuscator (formally known as Obfuscator) is a simple plugin for replacing words and phrases in your posts’ content with alternative words and phrases. Initially designed for protecting the innocent by removing names from personal blog posts, it can also be used to correct common spelling errors or automatically expand abbreviations. The plugin operates on output preserving the content in the database as entered in the post.
Versions up to and including 1.0 (0.1 and 0.2 released under the title Obfuscator) are very basic string replacement systems. Versions 1.1 and 1.2 are a little more advanced. [read more]
I’ve just made public the release of version 0.6 of the Syndicate Out WordPress plugin. The latest version can be downloaded from the plugin repository.
This release adds a couple of the outstanding things on the long-term roadmap (custom field syndication, making the plugin clear up after itself when uninstalled via the WordPress uninstall system), as well as bringing with it a slew of bug fixes. The full changelist follows:
The following is a basic todo list / wishlist for release 0.6. I’ll add to this as things crop up, and cross things off this as I implement them in my development version. It’s possible some things listed here will end up being released prior to 0.6 if there’s the need for a futher 0.5.x release.
Development of this plugin began this evening with some exploratory posts to the Twitter API. I’m going to work on putting together a roadmap for the project over the next couple of days, pulling together all the suggestions posted previously, and prioritizing the tasks. It’s likely I’ll concentrate on posting to Twitter in the first instance before moving on to pulling into WordPress from Twitter feeds after that. In the mean time do feel free to add your thoughts on what you’d like to see in what I hope will be one of the most complete WordPress Twitter plugins available.
As you would expect with a project of this kind, you can follow the progress of the plugin via my Twitter feed: @CzDuck.
I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of Syndicate Out 0.5.1. Due to a bug in the settings page it is not advised that users upgrade to version 0.5, 0.5.1 addresses this bug!
0.5 / 0.5.1 introduces a major new feature as well as addressing a number of bugs highlighted by users:
There are a whole load of different Twitter plugins out there, each doing their own thing. Some are designed to fetch data from Twitter, some designed to post data to Twitter. Many blog owners have to use combination of 4 or 5 of these plugins to be able to do eveything they want to do.
After talking with a colleague over the Christmas break we decided it would be great to have one complete, ultimate Twitter plugin for WordPress which offers a whole range of functionality in a much more flexible way when compared to some of the existing solutions.
We have our own ideas and bugbears which we will be addressing, but I’d also like some input into the features and functionality the community would like to see. So, please, add your ideas in the comments below and we can start to build up a feature list to start working on.
Syndicate Out 0.4 is now available to download from the WordPress plugin directory. If installing this version as an upgrade some changes to the way the plugin settings are handled should automatically be made. If you find that your settings seem to have disapeared try de-activating and re-activating the plugin. This should upgrade the storage format.
This release takes the plugin one step closer to a full version release with the addition of three major features, two of which are the result of user feedback, and the other was always on the cards (although this was requested too!):
