Enhanced Meta Widget
This plugin replaces the meta sidebar included with WordPress, and displays links based upon user roles.
3.0.0
- Updated to fix the new links for creating and editing pages.
- While it isn't a major release, version number increased to 3.0.0 to match numbering of WordPress versions.
2.3.3
- Adds language files for Czech, Hungarian, Argentinian Spanish, and Russian.
2.3.2
- Adds language files for Italian.
- Corrected errors in the Dutch Translation.
2.3.1
- Adds language files for Belarusian.
2.3
- Added option to add a new page.
- Fixed link to Dashboard to link to the index.php file rather than just the wp-admin directory.
- Language files updated with most recent changes.
2.2
- Changed wording from site admin to dashboard in both the options and the links.
- If display dashboard is selected, the link will appear for all logged-in users, not just admins. This allows non-admin users access to all settings for which they have permissions.
- For admin, the link to the dashboard still appears at the top of all admin links. For non-admin logged-in users it appears just after my profile.
- In the "Welcome, UserName" phrase, it is now an option to have the username link to the user profile.
- Added Turkish (tr_TR) language files
2.1
- Fixed situations where an empty sidebar would be displayed, showing only a title, depending on what options were chosen for display. The most common was if _show login form_ was selected by itself (perhaps to have just a "log in" section of the sidebar). If this was done then logged in users would see an empty sidebar with just a title. Further testing identified some additional, likely rare, situations where this could occur as well, so those were all fixed.
- All html should now be XHTML 1.0 Transitional, unless login form is used with other links in certain situations (see below).
- Fixed coding error that would generate empty unordered lists if certain options were not selected, which is not valid XHTML. (Thanks Ian)
- If W3C validation is important, do not use the login form with other options if your $before_widget variable uses id="%1$s" in its tag (usually a div or li). This widget uses $before_widget, $before_title, $after_title, and $after_widget to display the login form to be identical to other sidebar widgets, and thus there will be two tags with the same id which is not valid XHTML. In order to use the login form and have it validate in this situation, add a second widget to your sidebar and select only the login form (or change your settings for $before_widget).
2.0.1
- Added German (de_DE) and Danish (da_DK) language files.
- Polish language files updated.
2.0
- Changed the format of the administration panel to a cleaner presentation. Gone are the "Display..." or "Show..." statements/questions, and they have been replaced with just a simple "Display:" header with all the options simply listed as options with checkboxes.
- Changed "UserName is logged in" to "Welcome, UserName" and moved to top, under the title.
- "Welcome, UserName" displays the username as set with "Display name publicly as" in the user profile.
- Added link to "my profile" for logged in users.
- Updated log in and log out links to return to the current page/post.
- Created option to have linebreaks or not. (I prefer to have breaks between some sections of links - user actions, admin actions, and the orignal meta links - but others prefer all links to be a list without breaks. So now "Line breaks between sections" is an option.)
- Added hook to allow other plugins to run actions just before the end of the login form - do_action('login_form').
- Corrected the order in which the options are presented on the admin page to reflect how they're presented on the sidebar.
- Added Polish (pl_PL) language files.
- Updated French (fr_FR) and Dutch (nl_NL) language files.
- Found and translated another missed phrase. I think all phrases are now coded for i18n. If you are using a different language and find a phrase I have missed, please let me know.
1.7
- I18n now works correctly.
- All phrases have now been coded for I18n
- Added option to display register link. Depends both on "anyone can register" in the settings->general, and "show register link?" in this widget.
- Changed directory structure to put language files in individual directories. Now the POT file is in the directory "lang" with all language files having their own directories below "lang". For example, the french(France) files are found in the wp-content/plugins/enahnced-meta-widget/lang/fr_FR directory.
1.6.1
- Please note I18n is not working correctly. Will be corrected in next version.
- Fixed translation string of "username logged in" to include the whole string, including the username. (Allows for different word placement for different languages. Thanks to Daryan for pointing this out to me.)
- French Translation now included.
1.6
- Coded for I18n. Now just looking for translators.
- As part of I18n, the POT file is included with each distribution.
- Fixed bug where $after_widget was being displayed inappropriately. (Thanks Jose.)
- Fixed improper insertion of a couple of br tags.
- Moved the display of "username is logged in." to the bottom of the sidebar widget. I didn't like it at the top.
1.5
- Added New Features
Can choose to display login link or login form
Separated logout link from login link/form
Display "username is logged in."
- Fixed display of login form if it's the only thing showing on the sidebar (now surrounded by $before_widget and $after_widget).
1.4.1
- Fixed a typo that prevented the "edit this post" link from working correctly.
1.4
- Fixed problem with display of too many line breaks/spaces showing in sidebar depending on the options selected.
1.3
- Fixed error that would place widget title on the sidebar without content if user logged out and if links for register, RSS, and wordpress.org are not to be visible (log in form still displays).
- Fixed a couple of spelling and html code errors
1.2
- Fixed the proper display of the "register link" based upon whether or not the Administration > Settings > General > Membership: Anyone can register box is checked.
- Fixed the proper display of RSS and wordpress.org links for users that are not logged in.
1.1
- Fixed to show the RSS and wordpress.org links for logged in, non-admin, users.
