WordPress 3.0 BNS Plugin Updates

Edward Caissie — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 01:14:35 +0000

WordPress 3.0 is now officially in beta … beta1, but its still beta! That means the beginning of the final review and release of my BNS series of plugins. The first two, in no particular order (actually they were alphabetically first on my list) that have been tested compatible with WordPress 3.0 and released to the WordPress.org Plugins repository are:

Simply follow the plugin links to see the latest changelog for each plugin; and, remember to check back to see the release announcements of the rest of the BNS series of plugins.

Following the plugin updates will be the update releases of our themes.

NB: A minor issue in the BNS Corner Logo plugin using non-Gravatar images has been discovered and a temporary fix (version 1.3.1) will be going into the WordPress.org Plugin repository within the hour. EAC.

Desk Mess Mirrored 1.4.5

Although I have been working on smaller and smaller issues with the Desk Mess Mirrored theme I am still looking for improvements and a finer tuning of the core theme files. Last night I finally said it was time to draw a line in the code and put the update out, thus we now have version 1.4.5 approved for download from the WordPress Extend Themes repository earlier today.

The following is the changelog for this update:

Changelog, as of Jan 20, 2010:
-- Version 1.4.5
  - corrected positioning of 'cancel-comment-reply-link'
  - corrected positioning of 'logged-in' message for comments
  - added query reset to correct for possible is_home() issue?!
  - corrected deprecated parameter 'siteurl' to 'url' in header.php
  - editted footer.php template file to better handle possible lengthy text fields
  - CSS: cleaned out empty elements
  - CSS: added #bottom-container within #bottom-extended
  - CSS: reviewed IE6 conditional style sheet -> reduced theme elements being displayed; please upgrade!
  - CSS: added better styling of page list elements
  - moved theme version display to functions.php
  - minor updates to Multi child theme included
  - Multi version number should reflect Desk Mess Mirrored version
  - NB: The image files twitter.png and flickr.png will remain but are not used in the theme.
  - NB: Multi will no longer be included with Desk Mess Mirrored to reduce theme size after version 1.4.5
  - NB: Multi will be available to download at http://buynowshop.com/themes/desk-mess-mirrored

WordCamp Toronto 2010 #wcto

Edward Caissie — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 13:53:08 +0000

WordCamp Toronto 2010 is scheduled for March 27 & 28 and I will be there, will you?

I first found this news on the WordPress blog here. Which lead me to the more obvious (now) web site address of the camp itself: http://wordcamptoronto.com.

I managed to create a TinyURL link for the location map: http://tinyurl.com/wcto2010map, feel free to pass it around. The link will open a Google map.

I am looking forward to this event and since I know about it well in advance I am scheduling my time to be available for both days. It also helps the location is only about a 30-40 minute drive from home.

If you are not sure what a WordCamp is, then this little bit from WordCamp Central should help:

WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other. WordCamps are open to WordPress.com and WordPress.org users alike.

I will be using the twitter hash tag #wcto for references to the event. Hope to see you there!
