Plugin Directory

Ping.fm Custom URL

1.3.1

  • Tweaked the rewrite rules a little more. There were some edge cases where other things would overwrite our rules, but that should be fixed now.

1.3.0

  • Added support for displaying images associated with pings. A corresponding option has been added to the settings page.
  • Added specific check for PHP 4 to prevent code from even being parsed if an insufficient version of PHP is found.
  • Failure for PHP 4 now handled gracefully instead of with a syntax error.
  • Moved flushing of rewrite rules to only happen on plugin activation and not on every page load. This should have a noticeable positive impact on performance. The only downside is that the plugin will have to be deactivated and reactivated if pretty permalinks are enabled (a worthy trade-off in my opinion).
  • Cleaned up the code in various places to make it more readable (especially with regard to the error message pseudo-constants).

1.2.1

  • Primarily a documentation release. Lots of stuff in the README was clarified, fortified, beautified, and just plain shifted around.
  • Fixed a small bug related to a new option that was added in 1.2.0. After saving the options twice, the problem would have fixed itself anyway.
  • Added screenshots for the benefit of the WordPress Plugin Directory.
  • Moved the changelog off of my site and into the Plugin Directory to give people a more central point of contact.

1.2.0

  • Added option to force all status updates to become actual posts.
  • Added option in widget to "permalinkify timestamps" (archive page is editable via tmpl-single.php).
  • Invented new English word: permalinkify.
  • Tried to make the settings page clearer and easier to understand.
  • Did some code housekeeping.
  • Added Ping.fm logo to settings page.

1.1.0

  • Complete code rewrite (PHP 4 procedural to PHP 5 OO) and new way of storing settings in the database.
  • Did away with external ping.php file for receiving updates.
  • Added native WordPress URL hooks and internal support for mod_rewrite.
  • Added RSS feed containing 20 most recent status updates.
  • Added archive/permalink pages for individual pings (mostly in conjunction with RSS feed, but can be used elsewhere as well). Page is templated for easy customization.
  • Provided interface for user-supplied widget styles (CSS).
  • Widget HTML/CSS makes more sense. Widget container has an ID of wp-pingfm and a class of wp-pingfm-widget.
  • Added wp_pingfm_status() for people using non-widgetized themes. See Other Notes section for docs.

1.0.1

  • CSS is now targeting #pingfm in a less specific way (because it broke on themes with multiple sidebars).
  • Fixed random bug only seen in WebKit where a space preceding a status update was considered significant whitespace. (Don't ask me---I don't build it, I just code to it.)

1.0.0

  • The first non-beta release!
  • Modified CREATE TABLE for installer after reports of it failing on MySQL versions < 4.1.
  • Added check for widget to determine if database table was created properly.
  • Tweaked a few textual things here and there.

0.9.7

  • This version was never released publicly and the changes made for it were rolled into 1.0.0.

0.9.6

  • Added this page as a home base for the plugin on my site.
  • Made the README more readable (hopefully). The documentation should be easier to understand now.
  • Fixed the mod_rewrite example to include the [L] flag. The entire line didn't get copied from my conf file the first time around.

0.9.5

  • Minor textual changes and a speed enhancement (eliminated a DB call using some crafty coding).

0.9.4

  • Added widget options to specify colors used in injected style sheet (CSS).
  • Reorganized, streamlined, and beautified some code.

0.9.3

  • Fortified README with some additional information and a mod_rewrite example for shortening the inevitably long URL.
  • The plugin now auto-detects the directory it's running from. Anything under /wordpress/wp-content/plugins should work reasonably well. If the WordPress Plugin Directory wants to create a really long folder structure, so be it.

0.9.2

  • Added support for all types of Ping.fm updates. Blog and microblog posts now show up as actual entries in WordPress.

0.9.1

  • The initial public release! After being hacked together with loving care during a couple late nights, the code finally sees the light of day. Cue angelic choir and bright background light...
