 * Hi, Neerav, and thanks so much for your work on this elegant plugin.
 * I installed 2.3.1 and found a few minor things which bugged me, so I fixed them.
   🙂
 * Brief changelog:
 *  – Fix typo on options page (“Display”)
    – Fix issue with quotes in blog name
   and/or description not being properly decoded – Added option to disable header
   logo image entirely – Added option to specify left/right alignment of icon
 * Updated package (version 2.3.2) available from my FTP server:
 * ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/ftp/pub/WordPress/plugins/wp-post-to-pdf.2.3.2.zip
 * along with diff (just the readme and two main php files changed):
 * ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/ftp/pub/WordPress/plugins/wp-post-to-pdf.2.3.2.diff
 * There may be (probably is) a better way to implement my changes. If you decide
   to not use my code in the official release and do something different, I’ll be
   interested to see (I’m an IT consultant and network engineer; my work with php
   is usually on the server side, and not with the actual code, but I do cobble 
   from time to time).
 * Cheers, and thanks again.
 * PS – For anyone else, the contributed zip file is fully installable, so feel 
   free to give it a whirl. If you have comments on my changes vs the official release,
   please feel free to contact me via the contact form on my site:

 * Could we PLEASE get 2.3.6 or newer as an official update so it can be installed
   automatically by wordpress!
 * I can’t copy the zip file across due to unresolvable technical problems and would
   LOVE these great new features!

 * Thanks for the kind words, David & Jenny… I’ve contacted Neerav directly, and
   am waiting on his reply.
 * David, what can we do to get you a zip file in that installation? Can you not
   install via the upload method in Plugin Installation? Or would the [Install via URL plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/upload-theme-via-url/)
   help, perhaps?
 * Meanwhile, I’ve created an updated support page for my contributed builds of 
   this (including screenshots of the expanded configuration settings) on [my blog](http://www.2rosenthals.net/wordpress/wp-post-to-pdf-enhanced-697/).
 * Internally, I still have a rather lengthy to-do list for this plugin, but it 
   seems to be coming along as time permits. I’m glad there is demand for my tweaks!
 * Cheers

 * Hi Lewis, thanks for your reply. I did manage to get it installed from the .zip
   and it seems to be working much better than before. It’s GREAT that we don’t 
   have to have a header on each page now! 🙂
 * The formatting is still messed up in some posts, do you think it is possible 
   to fix positioning of graphics when there is a CSS box?

 * Great news, David! I’m so glad you were able to put some of my fixes to work.
 * I do realize that there is more work to be done in terms of image positioning
   and css in general (this latest TCPDF is supposed to be more css-friendly). I
   see the issue you describe. What we want is for the plugin to retain the image
   position – if not necessarily the scaling – as specified in the css (in this 
   case, left aligned, with text wrapped). I need to see what we need to pass along
   to TCPDF which we’re somehow not currently passing.
 * I’ll see what I can do with this, and will follow up. At least we’ve got the 
   captions printing on the page, at least!
 * Cheers

 * 2.4.0 (unofficial; refreshed 5 July, 2013):
 * ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/pub/WordPress/plugins/wp-post-to-pdf.2.4.0.zip
 * Diff against the latest official release (2.3.1):
 * ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/pub/WordPress/plugins/wp-post-to-pdf.2.4.0-against-
   2.3.1.diff
 * Diff against my previous version (2.3.6 unofficial):
 * ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/pub/WordPress/plugins/wp-post-to-pdf.2.4.0.diff
 * What’s new:
 * Updated TCPDF to 6.0.018, including a huge number of new fonts (much larger package).
 * To-do:
 * Add option to move date and/or category to the footer, with left, right, or center
   alignment.
 * Add option to specify the separator in a list of categories.
 * Add option to remove paragraph break between author, categories, date (to format
   better and waste less vertical space).
 * Add option to specify first or all categories (presently, we display the list,
   via get_the_category_list).
 * Add option to specify ordering/alignment (see above) of these items.
 * Allow exception to site-wide image scaling factor via shortcode (and add other
   shortcodes as overrides for various options set in the admin panel).
 * Allow for custom css definitions to apply to PDF (note that this is highly dependent
   upon css support in TCPDF class; this to-do list item refers to the ability to
   enter such css in the admin panel, and not to any specific css support).
 * Thanks to Jenny Beaumont for additional testing of this version!
 * Feedback is welcome and appreciated.
 * Enjoy!

 * Sorry, but I’ve temporarily pulled the 2.4.0 version from my server. I discovered
   a problem with images not showing up _at all_, as well as a couple other oddities
   with some formatting. Until I get those tweaked, better stick with the 2.3.6 
   build.
 * Apologies for jumping the gun!

 * Thanks to both of you for your kind words, and for my contribution, you’re very
   welcome. I’m glad this continues to be of value.
 * As soon as I can get some time, I want to get back to my last round of updates
   to see about getting the updated tcpdf library finally working as expected (you
   know; fix one thing, break two more…).
 * Cheers, all. 😉

 * Hi
 * Can I also urge you to reconsider forking it?
 * If it has it’s own place within WordPress plugin repository, the people who are
   using your much needed version will get notifications of any updates.
    With a
   seperate download area we’d never know if some vulnerability was found that you’d
   later fixed (for example).

 * Point taken, Rex.
 * When Neerav and I left off, we were discussing adding me as a developer, so that
   my changes would get merged into the official source directly. I’ll ping him 
   about that, as we haven’t exchanged email since the end of June. Obviously, that
   is the best solution, but if that doesn’t work out, I’m certainly ready, willing,
   and able to fork the project.
 * Let’s check in here in the next week or so, and see what progress Neerav and 
   I make.
 * Thanks again for your input, Rex, and for making such a clear and concise case(
   aside from the convenience factor).
 * Cheers

    Also, I have a bitly officialy plugin on my install
   and messes with the plugin. please check iwiki.ro/wordpress-cdn/ the icon is 
   up, just click on it. Any resolve for the conflict ? Don’t know if its from the
   PDF plugin or the bitly.

 * I’ll have a look at the link, Alex; sorry for the trouble with the conflict.
 * As for version 2.4, I pulled the file. See my note, above, quoted here:

 * What version of the pdf plugin are you using which conflicts with Bitly plugin,
   and which version of Bitly are you using?

 * Looking at the Bitly support forum, I see [this](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/conflict-with-yoast-seo-plugin?replies=2)
   from the plugin author, from three weeks ago:
 * > The plugin overrides the get_permalink() function so that it can be used with
   > a wide variety of social sharing tools. We will remove conflicts with other
   > plugins as we push out new versions.
 * WP Post to PDF relies (in some cases) on get_permalink(). Consider the following
   snippet:
 *     ```
       // Change querystring separator for those who do not have pretty URL enabled
                   $qst = get_permalink($post->ID);
                   $qst = parse_url($qst);
                   if ($qst['query'])
                       $qst = '&format=pdf';
                   else
                       $qst = '?format=pdf';
   
                   return '<a class="wpptopdf" target="_blank" rel="noindex,nofollow" href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . $qst . '" title="Download PDF">' . $this->options['imageIcon'] . '</a>';
       ```
   
 * I suggest you contact the author of the Bitly plugin and ask him to whitelist
   WP Post to PDF.
 * Good luck!
 * Lewis
