WordPress 2.9

Today i’ve installed the RC for WordPress 2.9.

While i haven’t tested every bit of the plugins. Events and AdRotate work fine in their current version.
If you however encounter any issues let me know on the forum.

Other plugins are expected to work. But this is, for now, untested. Also here; let me know if anything goes wrong.

SVN on Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server

Today i finally pulled it off. Using Snow Leopards built in Apache and Dav modules.
Also built in is svnserve. A repository server for SubVersioning.

So, with no additional software i now have a Repository for internal use to work on some PHP and related. Woot!

That being said, i have implemented some new features in the AccessQontrol plugin. And perhaps if i keep up the coding spirit for a bit i will release an important update for it. Including many new restrictive features to even better control who or what gets on your site or not.

Among the new things is timezone support, Referer blocking (people coming from a certain site, or set of sites, are not allowed) and User-Agent blocking (a simple filter to block bots or users with a certain browser or OS).

Let’s just see how it goes…

Are my plugins dead?

No! Well, yes… Kinda.. Not really. But, yes… Or not quite (yet)?

At the moment i have no idea. In the past 2 or so months i haven’t touched a bit of code that i can remember. I screwed up the last Events update. And didn’t update any of the other plugins with new stuff.

I just can’t get anything done code wise lately. I have no good features to add or even have any ideas to think about other than “bleh i don’t wanna write code”. It’s a sad state of affairs really.

What to do, what to do… I see my plugins are still downloaded a lot. Which is nice. People still ask the same questions. Which is not so nice. I have been working on improved documentation. Someone very very kindly added translationable stuff to one of the plugins. Events i think it was… People have sent in various translations. But i haven’t got around to put them online yet. I cannot come up with a proper system to manage the language files. Even though i could just upload them and put links on a page. That seems so silly and 1999. But adding them all to the plugin by default is messy too.

New features? Yea… like? I’ve looked into some requests and bumped against walls or stupid API designs preventing me from making it happen. So. At the moment the plugins work fine. For the time being i guess we’re fine.

Any ideas are welcome ofcourse. Maybe i’ll see the light soon and pick up coding again. I bought Coda last week… (awesome development tool for code writing) But haven’t really done anything with it since. Well i’ve set it up. But have not used it yet beyond the trial period.

Blah!

WordPress 2.8 and my plugins

WP2.8 was just released this morning… I’ve just upgraded to it and my plugins so far seem fine.
If you run into any trouble using my plugins in WP2.8, do not hesitate to let me know on the forum!
http://forum.at.meandmymac.net and i’ll look at it. I’m in the process of making some updates, it would be nice to include any required fixes, too.

Thanks!

AccessQontrol 2.0

So, after a long time. Something else other than Events and AdRotate.
Over the past few weeks i have rewritten AccessQontrol and expanded it features quite a bit. Basically i moved a whole bunch of things from the aging EasyBan into AccessQontrol.

As of today EasyBan is discontinued and everyone should either stick with the last, crappy, version of EasyBan. Or move over to the new and shiny AccessQontrol.
