In reply to: Pass value from form select field into button redirectHi there @bakeyboy15. Funny you should ask this. I just spent four hours on this very thing yesterday Here is your answer: There is a price for brilliance of course.
1.) Purchase and download WP Gravity Forms Plugin. Install, activate, and enter licence key.
http://www.gravityforms.com/gravity-forms-demo/2.)Purchase WP Gravity Forms Populate Anything Plugin. You can read about it here for exactly what you are asking to do and see it in action.

In reply to: [WordProof Timestamp] CSS file not being handled by caching pluginNo worries. I can wait another month to see what you guys come up with? I bought the plugin anyways. And since the script is localized, I have no issues with that. Besides, I use cache servers in my builds. So unless the cert is dynamically pulled from within your script, it won’t even matter. Thanks for responding.
This is a great improvement in security. It took me nineteen years to wake up Google to https. Now I would like to run your plugin over this year and then provide the results to Google and suggest we get onboard with crypto time stamped certs as well. It’s the only way to be sure.

In reply to: [WordProof Timestamp] CSS file not being handled by caching pluginWhat’s the status on this issue? 6 weeks is plenty of time isn’t it? I just bought your service and I won’t allow any scripts to run from servers I do not control. This is why we created API’s. So only data is sent, not files.
Does your script pull files from a third party server on pages loaded in a visitor’s browser?
So far review tests show a 30ms page load. That’s acceptable, but need answer on the above please.

In reply to: [Smush – Image Optimization, Compression, Lazy Load, WebP & CDN] 4 StarsThe plugin is good and there is nothing to improve in your code. The objections is in the attempt to recode png files to jpeg via “lossy” application. And secondly, it is to perhaps revise the docs for use. It is only in the improper use and expectation where there lies an issue, and not the plugin itself.
Once a user has gone through the various settings and tested their results, is there a better method of using the Smush Plugin. Which I have ad hoc detailed in my review.
In short, use this plugin to save time optimizing images and unload server resources via the API. I will be shortly (3 mos) installing your plugin and paying for it on each site for a total of 120 licenses over the next year. That’s about as strong as an endorsement as I can give you.
Okay thanks Julien for the insight into the FineUploader. I’ll make the changes.
And Nice work on your new code! I’ll definitely give it a run!
@julien: Well that’s good you are improving the plugin. You’re on the right track! – with the htaccess file. And you can of course add your own set of rules to this file upon install as a default, so the directory can’t be viewed. i.e. Options All -Indexes
On a another issue, I was wondering if you could address this with a solution? I searched and found nothing addressing this issue. Image link to error window: http://screencast.com/t/ZFd8hZ3C It will not allow me to upload files and on the same site I upload files on a classified ad site with no issues. I read the code for the additional scripts from the developer of the file uploader. But file permissions are not the issue. I changed them just to see if this was the issue. It isn’t.
Further using third party Filepicker is not the way to go for us. As it advertises their brand unless you want to pay a hefty monthly price to white label. Inhouse is always best.(imho)
BTW, I reverted to V.1.2.2 last night. We have been running a burn test on it for almost two years. A masterpiece plugin with no conflicts. And all the features of the email notices. Plus excellent search capabilities in the backend: See image link: http://screencast.com/t/O34ISQMpftc
However I’m happy to test any newer versions for you Julien, to see how they fly. I’ll be deploying V.1.2.2 on a production site for beta testing this month. And I’ll have alot more data on results then.
@j0schi You’re welcome!
That’s nice. Now all you have to do is change it in your install.php file. The
[submit-ticket] is what was installed by your plugin by default, during testing. It was not added to any page manually. The plugin script creates the two pages and adds the short code [submit-ticket].At first, I thought the short code was missing some syntax, but you spotted the issue right away, so now you can fix it and other’s will be able to use it.
No he’s talking about the annual fee you now want for the “addons” you took away from the Code Canyon Version. Per website I might add! I reverted to V.2.1.4 because of this.
As far as this thread is concerned, what’s stopping you from writing the code to create a folder in the uploads directory and assigning the correct permissions for file uploads?
I have other plugins such as Backup Buddy from iThemes, and there is no issue with doing this. The files are not accessible at all. How is this accomplished?
By adding the code to the install.php file of your plugin to create (A) a serialized folder name in the uploads directory. Each instance of the install of your plugin creates an infinite variable using some math. If you don’t want this, then add a text box in the plugin settings page whereby the site admin can create a distinct folder name.
(B) To add a .htaccess file within the folder, permitting no indexes with a redirect to the root domain.
With this method, there is no chance of anyone locating any urls for any files within the folder created by your plugin. Go ahead and give it a shot. You will have at least resolved a security flaw within your plugin.

In reply to: [NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster] Doesn't work and can't get support“One man show” plugin. Which is why you don’t get support right away. Also if you write tickets like a blog post, you also may not get a response. This is common among devs who are their own support “team.” Support for this plugin is minimal and dry in responses.

In reply to: [Plugin: Alternative Theme Switcher] Anyone get this to work?The Alternative Theme Switcher is for admin side only. I was looking for a frontend one where the visitor would change the theme themselves as they see fit. This is not that type of plugin.
I scrapped it today and I am now looking at this one: http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/wiki/ThemeSwitcher

In reply to: [Plugin: Register Plus] Error Message on Dashboard Panel DisplayWell, not too bad for someone who has yet after ten years to open up a php book of any kind. Here is the new code to comply with WP V. 2.8.5:
Line 24 should look like this:
extract (array($this, 'EXTR_SKIP') );Now it’s nice and neat!
