Wordpress Plugins

Heres a few Wordpress plugins which i thought i might release.. If you need support for any of them, Please contact me via the contact me page.

WP-ContactForm: Akismet Edition

Ok, This isnt my plugin, However i fixed it up to work with Wordpress 2.1/2.2 correctly.
You can find the authors webpage here: WP-ContactForm: Akismet Edition
You can also downlaod a copy directly from my website: wp-contactform-akismet.zip

dDeviantArt

A Plugin to allow embedding Deviations from Deviantart.com into your blog entries. Also allows for widget display of items.

Add From Server

WordPress 2.5 includes a new Media manager, However, It only knows about files which have been uploaded via the WordPress interface, Not files which have been uploaded via other means(eg, FTP).

So I bring you, WordPress plugin which allows you to browse the filesystem on the webserver and copy any files into the WordPress uploads system, Once �€œimported�€� it�€™ll be treated as any other uploaded file, and you can access it via the Media Library.

Remove Max Width

With WordPress 2.5, A new Admin interface has come around. And while it looks great, Theres one thing i disliked about it. The Maximum width of the page being limited to 980px, This plugin removes that design choice, and allows for maximum screen realestate use.

For those users who wish to have a smaller tinyMce editing window, While still retaining the ability to allow things to spread out over the page width, this plugin also enables you to resize TinyMCE’s editing windows Horizontally as well as the default standard of Virtical.

Please note: This list is incomplete, I’ve not actually updated this page in a long time, mearly link my plugins here for some reason.. :) See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/dd32 for a full listing

    These are good plans for new plugins.

    I arrived to this post passing through the wordpress plugin depository, and by a “WP Core plugin” which doesn’t seem to exist…

    hi. Thanks for plugin

    perfect.

    Regards

    You really need to clarify the description of the core control plugin to be less technical and more, well, descriptive. :)

    This is what I need, and I think this is what the plugin does:

    My shared hosting server doesn’t have suPHP or whatever. The effect is this: When I add something from WP’s new plugin installer, the owner of the file is “nobody” and I can’t access, use or modify the files (either to chmod or delete) – and neither can Wordpress.

    If I can FORCE Wordpress to only install plugins or updates via FTP (or SFTP), all my dreams are answered.

    Does this plugin do that?

      Core Control is a developers plugin, Not a user plugin :) That being said, I only did a quick writeup a few hours ago.. i’ll fix it up slowly in time.

      > If I can FORCE Wordpress to only install plugins or updates via FTP (or SFTP), all my dreams are answered

      Yes, You can disable the “Direct” filesytem method, However, Please open a bug on trac.wordpress.org (use your wordpress.org forums username) describing it.. WordPress shouldn’t use the Direct method if the files will be created under a different name..

      ..Just thinking of it, Are your WordPress files owned by ‘nobody’ too?

    hi i’m trying to solve a problem with the core-control plugin, i can change the filesystem options without no problem but when i try to change the HTTP Acess Module options i get a (wordpress) page not found. any clues to what can be the problem? appreciate any help tks! nice plugin btw

    • DD32 says

      No idea what your problem is.

      What’s the URL that you receive when you attempt to save the settings?

  5. Harry says

    i got the correct query string an all.. but it shows a wp’s page not found.. pretty weird because i didn’t even get a .htaccess or anything.. i think it was some problem with cURL because i could disable the other trasports, anyway for anyone that got the same problem disable curl manually on wordpress by editing wp-includes/http.php
    function test() {
    if ( function_exists(‘curl_init’) && function_exists(‘curl_exec’) )
    //return true;
    return false;

    return false;
    }
    the only thing that worked for me was fsockopen
    bad server i think
    tks

    • DD32 says

      Just a note, A change was just commited to 2.8 (Due out on Wednesday) which changes the order due to bad curl setups, FSockopen will be used for most people (again) and curl has been shoved down the line to last place thanks to its recent performances…

  6. Elpie says

    Core Control is the only plugin I use with all my sites. Thanks for making it available.

    Just one suggestion though… since WordPress added the Constant to define WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL checking HTTP logging gives an “error” result and this:
    Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in Z:\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\core-control\modules\core_control_http_log.php on line 318

    This is correct, of course, if the external blocking is working but you may want to consider extending echo implode(‘, ‘, $the_request->transports); to check if http transports are open and return an appropriate result if they aren’t. This will avoid confusion for non-dev users who see “error” as a code error and don’t necessarily understand its exactly the right result if external blocking is working.

    Dropping a note to make sure you saw my Core Control thread at the support forum.

    • DD32 says

      No i didnt. I do not classify the forums as a Support place for my plugins due to me not being notified about them.

      Any bug reports need to be added as a comment here, or emailed to wordpress@dd32.id.au. There are some current known bugs with some of my plugins with 2.9.

      • miqrogroove says

        Glad I mentioned it then. If you use any RSS programs, you can subscribe to the tag feed for each plugin.

        • DD32 says

          Can you give me a link to it? (The thread i mean).

      • miqrogroove says
