Updates to what? Updates to the site design? Updates to the backend or what?
Clarification here might be useful =)
updates to anything.
you can type in and select a category *site design, backend, posts* and type in what it was and it will record the date….
im guessing this hasnt been done yet…lol
Maybe you’re looking for something we call ‘asides’. There are a few plugins out there for it.
Check out google for it and you’ll be able to find some stuff about it. Hope this helps. Post back if you’re looking for something else..
courtneyeliz., I think that is a great idea. I have not seen that plugin in all my looking so far.
I’m not sure which you mean, could be both….. One to help you “comment your code” just to remind yourself what areas you changed (like when inserting new tags used by a certain plugin), so that when Upgrade to WP 1.6 comes, it will be easier to keep track of your customizations. I’ve been advised to comment my code using /* and */ (I think).
Second, a plugin that renders a Site Updates list on your “About” page, for example,
Site last updated: August 9th; pages updated: link, link, link, link
Aug. 9th — I added pictures to my Gallery (link)!
Aug. 7th — Got a bunch of new Plugins for this website.
Aug. 5th — Installed new theme called XYZ
Aug. 3rd — Working on my CSS; uploaded an mp3 file of grandpa
July 29th — I installed WordPress software
Anything like (either)?
that’s exactly what I’m talking about….
date – what was updated….
but I havent found it anywhere…
Right now I just do it by hand on a Page
but I like your idea of using the List plugin, cuz it lets you insert your List in a post or a page I think.
BTW I see you have changed your design again C.E. 😉
Denis, I wonder if your plugin actually captures this request. The FRU lists pages, posts or both (per user config) that have recently changed while Courtney is looking to make a list explaining a given change.
The idea that occurs to me, as I’m typing, is to have a separate category called Site Updates (or your choice) and exclude the category from the front page. No need for a plugin this way, less code generally being better.
Hey Bill,
I’d like it to actually be included in an area in the sidebar…so that it lists the updates…..like a block….and you could limit the amount of updates you wanted listed…..
Courtney, well, there’s probably a way to do the same category thing with links so they show up in the sidebar. My main point is that Denis’ plugin, despite being a quality (and free!) bit of code, is not going to give you what you’re after.
@bill: true, but it’s probably close enough for elisabeth’s purpose:
sem_recent_updates(‘include_posts=true’);
will display a list of recently updated posts and pages. anything more than that would require a rather significant engineering effort because we’d need to keep track of diffs.
*sigh* thanks guys….
I guess, i just want to be able to type a list somewhere…and have a cute little header for the section and that’d be it…
i’m thinking the list plugin will be the best way…..
*cheese* Thanks again…
Denis, not to quibble but your plugin (which is fine, don’t get me wrong) will give a list of recent posts or pages or both that have changed but Courtney wants to make a list of custom notes explaining what change has been made. IAC, I won’t belabor the point further.
exactly….@ Bill…thanks for clarifying that.
