Updates, updates, updates!
Ch...Ch...ch...Changes!
(sorry song was stuck in my head)
The Site
So it appears over the last few days I've had a chance to do some updates on my plug-ins. As well as plug-in updates, I updated the site to use the 4/18/2011 Trunk build. I try to keep up-to-date with the nightlies and almost always update the site and test the plug-ins before doing and "upgrade" notes.
Everything appears to be functioning as planned with the changes to the plug-ins and the site.
Please see general notes below as well as visit plug-in pages listed in menu for info/demo/download per usual.
zenFBSuite
A few changes to the suite. Archives will now be uploaded with two names. One for archive/version number, and one labeled current. This is merely a housekeeping item and will let me avoid having to update every download link on each page to the new archive/version numbers.
Development Note: Soon, I will have the plug-in disable itself if you do not provide your OWN application ID and/or admin ID. This is done for your sake, believe me. So follow the steps in the articles linked in the menu to the left please!
zenFBComments
Updated to utilize the "new" Facebook comments plug-in. I put new in quotes because it's been out for a while now, I just didn't want to make changes until they allowed for either CSS updates or a dark theme option. Eventually they did as well as a few other changes to the API.
Also, as the zenFBComments style is now handled via a light/dark theme option provided by facebook, the "plugins/zenFBComments" folder with the various CSS files are no longer needed.
Provided a link to the new Facebook moderation/comment tool that allows you to see a centralized listing of comments on your site, and if you've enabled moderation as default option, allow you to moderate comments.
zenFBcommon
A couple of quick changes here. Most notable would be the addition of the "Default Logo URL" option. If zenphoto is now on a gallery page showing an item with a thumbnail, it will populate og:image with the cached thumbnail. If it is not, it checks to see if anything is specified for the URL to default logo. If "default logo" is not null, it will then populate og:image tag with information pointing to default logo. If "default logo" is null/empty, it will not add og:image metatag.
The rest are minor housekeeping/commenting of code, which includes removal of some stray google verification code that may have slipped through on last release.
zenTwitter
Just a version update after verifying changes with the site's current trunk build.
Development Note: I'm looking into the Twitter API to see if there is a better way to handle this plug-in but for now with my current time constraints I'm leaving plug-in as is.
zenHttpbl
Just a version update after verifying changes with the site's current trunk build.
Development Note: I'm pondering a change to the zenHttpbl plug-in to display the stats of blocked users. Ideally I'd like to have a log of IPs blocked, as well as display the stats from the HTTP:BL dashboard but as far as I can tell there is no API interface to pull those stats. So, hopefully in the near future I'll have at least implemented a counter to show the # of blacklisted IPs blocked so you can proudly show that you are spam free and have a log of the IPs that you have denied access to.
google_analytics
As a note, this plug-in still works under current build (1.4.0.3-7031). As this was really just a minor update to another authors plug-in I'm not keeping current archives of this plug-in.
I think that about does it with the changes. I'll update if I remember anything else.
Onward & upward!
