    Woohoo!
    They Approved It.
    I am amazed at the fact that they have, unless it’s automated…

    Ok. My Plugin is a very basic plugin (but not quite as basic as the previous one)
    It aims to provide a way to vote “for’, “against” or “Abstain” on a particular subject / statement.

    It revolves around a table in the database that has 6 Fields: Id, Title, For, Against, Abstain, Is_Active

    the basic functionality is that you press a link in the post/page, and then it registers your vote in the table, and re-graphs the results using the google charts API, as well as setting a cookie so you can’t vote again.
    On the backend is a table like the posts table, that shows all the content of the table. You can edit only the fields “title” and “is_active” but not the votes count. you can also view the results from the backend, and delete the votes

    any help would be appreciated. please may you reply here if you would like to. my main problem is lack of php knowledge, time, and experience of the wordpress APi in general, but i hope to learn from this whilst developing this plugin.

    i’ll upload what i’ve done so far to the svn repository, as well as notes on all the files.

    yeah. you can admin of all the blogs on there with one login.
    it’s up to you, but i dont mind going into different sections for the different blogs. if anything it helps to keep everything seperate.
    because i know the individual directories for the differnt blogs, i can change admin panels simply by changing something like http://www.example.com/blog1/wp-admin/plugins.php to http://www.example.com/blog2/wp-admin/plugins.php simply via the address bar. this should also work going from http://blog1.example.com/wp-admin/plugins.php to http://blog2.example.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
    if you’re prepared to work with it will work with you.
    setup is as easy as normal wordpress. as i say though, my only annoyance is an absence of wp2.5, but i think they’re working on that at the moment.

    I have put in a request (along with a sprinkling of bad grammar) for it. you can see what i’ve said here:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vote-links/
    any more comments? anyone?

    (Checking Grammar … Failed…cba)

    how about just put them in the same db, but with different prefixes, and specify a different name for the users table.
    i have a sudden feeling it won’t be this simple, because nothing ever is anymore…
    as long as they both access the able with the equivalent of ARRAY_A then you could just add the extra wordpress columns to the mediawiki database, or visa versa…

    Ok, thanks.
    I wasn’t sure of the reaction, but I am now sure that this can work.

    The next stage is to advertise the plugin that I want help developing

    if you have soo many different categories, why not try wordpress-mu
    it is easy to set up millions of blogs from the same domain…cos it’s the same concept as wordpress.com, only for your own domain… so fewer restrictions… and you can admin it yourself…
    i use it and like it a lot. the only small problem you might have is that it hasn’t made its way up to 2.5 functionality and design yet
