WordPress.org

Features

• Works with a complementary Facebook application to update your Facebook Wall and friends' News Feeds about your blog and page postings.
• A miniature version of your recent blog posts will be displayed in the "Boxes" tab of your Facebook profile.
• Supports multi-author blogs: each blog author notifies only their own friends of their blog/page posts.

Bugs that will be fixed

1. Internationalization/Localization

   I would like for Wordbook to work everywhere, but I lack expertise in this sort of thing and welcome any pointers and/or patches.

Feature requests under consideration (as time permits)

1. How can I customize the way Wordbook appears in my profile?

   For the immediately-forseeable future, Wordbook will not be that configurable. The only immediately-available configuration is the number of posts showing up in the mini-blog. This number is the same as the number of posts that show up on the front page of your blog; navigate to your Dashboard Options → Reading and configure the "Blog Pages: Show at most" option.

2. Wordbook sends all my posts to Facebook. Can I do this selectively?

   At this time, no. You will have to log in to Facebook immediately after posting and manually remove the item from your Wall.

   Someday I'll add a "Post to Facebook" checkbox next to the WordPress "Publish" button or something.

3. I have multiple blogs; I'd like for all of them to update the same Facebook account.

   This is possible, but does not work at this time. This features requires a UI to allow Facebook session keys (currently not displayed anywhere in the UI) to be cut-and-pasted between multiple blogs.

4. I use WordPress excerpts for my RSS feeds; Wordbook doesn't use this for the profile box.

   This is a Wordbook bug; it doesn't know about excerpts yet.

Feature requests not under consideration

1. My WordPress is 1.x/2.0/2.1. The plugin doesn't work!

   This plugin is written for and tested on WordPress-2.3. I cannot test on older WordPress releases. I will happily accept any patches, if you are able to write a patch to get things to work. Otherwise, you really should consider upgrading your WordPress installation.

2. Can this work with PHP-4.x or MySQL-4.x?

   It is true that the WordPress minimum requirements are PHP-4.3 or greater and MySQL-4.0 or greater.

   There are two obstacles to Wordbook getting PHP4 support again: (a) My development environment is PHP5 and MySQL-5.0, and (b) Facebook has stopped releasing an "official" client library for PHP4.

   I cannot actively maintain PHP4 support, but will happily accept patches.
