Events 1.5.7.1

Minor update to fix deletion of events on non-standard blogs. Non-standard meaning that the prefix in the database is not wp_ if your blog has this prefix this version won’t change anything for you. If your prefix is different or not used at all. This will fix allows you to delete events.

Events 1.5.7

Yes yes, another update. Some fixes, some internal changes. And we’re slowly progressing to version 1.6. The most important change in this version is that i have removed a check for wordpress tables. This leaves Events a bit more vulnerable since WordPress suppresses errors with all it’s might.
However, i think i’ve got that covered pretty well.

Instead of having Events check if the 2 database tables are still there on every page load it now only checks on the dashboard. If they are not available (removed/unreadable) on the website itself it just says there are no events shown as if everything is normal but there are no events. On the dashboard however it shows some obvious big errors and prevents you from doing anything with Events on the Mange > Events dashboard. Instructions on how to fix it are also shown there.

Some minor bug fixes are also fixed, templates are now properly assigned to the various lists. $cat is now optional for the sidebar, this allows the old behavior without breaking the new options. And apparently when a title for an event was a link and longer than your set limit it broke the sidebar. This also is fixed.

Changelog:
[fix] Template usage for archive and today’s list now works properly
[fix] $cat value now optional for sidebar
[fix] Longer titles as a link no longer breaks the sidebar
[change] Revised auto-removal code to use timezones also
[change] Events and Categories have their own notification on removal now
[change] Events no longer checks for mysql tables on every page load
[change] Checking for tables and error reporting done in the dashboard
[change] Events now uses register_activation_hook() for installation

Plugin internationalization

Currently i’m investigating if it’s worth the hassle to generate translation files for plugins.
I’m orientating on which tools i should use and which are the best.

Any ideas welcome. I use OSX. So Windows based tools will be worthless to me.
I’ll be experimenting with a smaller plugin IF i put this through.

A ton of information here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin#Internationalizing_Your_Plugin

Any help is welcome!

[update]
Well after a few hours of searching i think this is totally doable were it not that there are NO working tools for OSX. So i guess it’s a no go after all. There is Poedit ofcourse. But it keeps writing faulty files or missing headers that are clearly there. It makes no sense and i’m not in the “fixing-other-man’s-crappy-application” business. It’s either missing a header that is present, or it cannot read the UTF-8 charset. Epic fail!

So Wordpress silently approved my plugin after all!

Usually when you submit a new plugin to the repositories you get an email after a few days telling you it’s either approved and thus added or not.

If it’s approved they also send the required information to me to upload the thing and where to stick the files. I never got such an email for the last plugin, Secrets, and since it silently was removed from the “add your plugin” page i assumed it had been denied.

I saw no reason for denying my plugin so i went on to re-submit it. But got an error it was already in use… Looking up the name told me there was indeed a Secrets plugin and it bore my name…
Why didn’t they tell me!!

Anyway, without further ado, here is Secrets:
http://meandmymac.net/plugins/secrets/

A plugin to remove certain filters and actions from Wordpress or add them to it.

Currently there are only 2 “secrets” but you can submit usefull additions:
http://forum.at.meandmymac.net/forum/secrets
And with that make the plugin completely awesome.

A new plugin secretly arrives

It’s called secrets and is loosely based on Mac OSX’s prefpane Secrets by blacktree.
Hidden stuff in Leopard is revealed and altered with it.
My Secrets plugin does that for Wordpress.

If you know of any “secrets” that would fit this plugin. Send them in on the forum! I’ll review all of them and maybe add them.
