Just a little bugfix release for Gengo (I know I’m late, but I’m working on something else, sorry): check out version 2.5.3! Major contributions:

Feed RSS/Atom now works (thanks to robteix)
category description now escaped properly (thanks to Emmanuel)

As usual, our work is just the beginning, and we’ll find useful your help on the Gengo forum, reporting errors and suggestions. Thank you!

Paypal Shortcodes plugin

gomez — Sat, 17 May 2008 16:23:22 +0000

Time for a little new plugin, Paypal Shortcodes. This plugin allows to insert Paypal buttons in your posts or pages, just using a shortcode. This plugin don’t have a management panel at this time, I’ll code it later when I’ll be able to find out your desired options: you’ll need to edit paypal-shortcodes.php and follow the comments.

Currently supported:

Add to cart
View cart

Usage:

[paypal type="add" name="Item Name vol. 1" amount="12.99"]

This shortcode will print the “Add to cart” image, which will add “Item Name vol. 1″ (priced 12.99) to your paypal cart. Default currency is EUR, but you can change it editing the plugin file.

[paypal type="view"]

This shortcode will print the “View cart” image.

Gengo 2.5: call for translators

pixline — Sun, 04 May 2008 22:57:36 +0000

While I’m trying to fix the last things before releasing 2.5, I would like to ask your help to translate Gengo interface in other languages than english. I’ve managed to understand how to generate a new source file for translator, and now it’s in trunk. You can download it here: gengo.pot

You can use it with the latest release candidate 3 I’ve just committed :-) Some hints on how to work with this file on the WordPress Codex.

If you have an updated language file to submit, please leave a comment here, or (even better) submit it on this issue ticket. Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you!

Gengo 2.5 alpha 2

paolo — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:38:33 +0000

With a great help from clope, gengo 2.5 alpha 2 is out, and you can download it from its download page on WordPress.org (get ‘development version’). This release is almost working, I’m testing it live on several websites, including Pixline as well, but still use at your own risk.

Last changes include:

better terms/tags/category dealing: [40724], [43374] (props clope)
language box fixed (for both posts and pages): [43371](props clope)
working language widget: [43376] (props clope)

I’m going to make a complete debug list in the next days, and have the full picture of what’s working and what’s not. Would you like to help us? Report issues or submit patches on our tracker at wp-plugins.org.

As usual, this version will work with WordPress 2.5 only, and WILL NOT UPGRADE older websites that runs older version of gengo (wait a little more for this).

If you want to upgrade from 2.5 alpha 1 or googlecode version, you’ll better have a look at gengo_schema.php and make sure your db structure matches it, manually or by phpmyadmin. I’m sorry, I’m working on the updater, but the whole googlecode thing messed up schema a bit, please wait a little more.

Gengo for WordPress 2.5 (soon)

paolo — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:53:45 +0000

We keep up working on Gengo compatibility with WordPress 2.5, even if slower that expected. Yesterday I had the honour of the commit bit directly from Jamie, and I’ve honoured this privilege committing some fixes I would have submitted some times ago.

Those fixes are about:

language codes ([40581]), ([40585]), ([40623])
default charset, and obsolete vars ([40589]), ([40614]), ([40630])
gengo_list_languages arguments ([40602])
(actually) disabled widget and category description ([40643])

I’d love to see something almost working with WordPress 2.5 in two weeks’ time. If you want to join in and hellp, you can download a (development version) and report errors and bugs in the support forum. Also, you can support this project with the PayPal/Amazon badges you can find in this website :-)

New Pixline theme (download it!)

paolo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 22:07:12 +0000

We taked advantage of the CSS naked day to style a new theme for Pixline, both the blog and the forums. For the first one we choose Sandbox as a foundation, while for forums we tweaked the default theme a bit.

Now you can download these themes. The WordPress one supports Category Page!

Download Sandbox (pixlined) 1.5.2 for WordPress 2.5

Download Kakumei (pixlined) 0.01 for bbPress.

WordPress plugins auto-download? Rate it!

paolo — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 18:59:23 +0000

Now that WordPress 2.5 support plugins updating seamlessy, I think the next step is a native browse/download interface for plugins hosted in this Extend area.

All that we need is a WordPress Extend API, maybe via XML-RPC, in order to browse available plugin (maybe only the ones compatible with the used version of WordPress). The FTP filesystem class would be powerful enough to deal with the download.

I have this idea, so I’ve submitted it to WordPress Extend Ideas (yes, another way to be a part of the community). Please: if you like it, go rate it!

Showcase your CategoryPage website!

paolo — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:09:50 +0000

I’m not aware of any live website that uses Category Page plugin, and this is quite strange, considering almost 7000 downloads in less than 9 months.. If you are using this plugin in your website, I invite you to submit it in this forum thread, just to let me/us know who is using it!
