Very good idea…but buggy!

    Concerns plug-in Post Linker.
    It’s good idea. A REALLY good idea, even….but there are a few bugs!
    [1] When I install the plugin, every link that is created through the [ plinker ] shortcode links to pluginstalk! I can’t give you an example, because I had to disable it immediately on my website, but the created link looks like (for example) “http://pluginstalk.com/?t=http://www.axellukkien.nl/water-naar-de-zee-op-radio-waddenzee/&f=http://www.axellukkien.nl/summer-of-love/”…which links back to pluginstalk.

    [2] Creating the HTML yields an additional < div > before the first < span style… > which screws up the lay-out of a wordpress post: it works on the main page, but if you open any post containing the [ plinker ] shortcode, andy multoi-column theme is reduced to a single column due to that additional div! (I am neither a CSS nor a java expert, so I’m not sure what it does or why…I just noticed that when I remove that div, the problem is solved.

    [3] A minor one 🙂
    Additionally on the plug-in’s contact page, the links point to https://pluginstalk.com … which doesn’t exist!

    As said, it’s an *excellent* idea for a plug-in.
    I hope you’ll be able to develop it further!

    Hi mavhas!
    Firstly thanks for installing and using my plugin ( post-linker ).
    As highlighted by you, I’ve corrected the bugs in the plugin, which you can see in version 1.1 of Post Linker.
    If you find any other bugs or want to suggests some cool new features, then do tell me at admin@pluginstalk.com

    Here is the detail from changelog of plugin:

    = 1.1 =
    Fixed the following bugs:
    1) The links by Post Linker now doesn’t links to http://PluginsTalk.com . This means no tracking of user clicks on links.
    2) Removed the < divison > from the HTML part as it was causing layout problems.
    3) Corrected the links in contact section ( http://PluginsTalk.com/contact ).
