Google AJAX Libraries API Plugin The Google Ajax Libraries API Plugin is designed to make it easy to use the Google hosted libraries without the need to mess with your theme and plugin code. Get The Image This plugin will allow you to have full control over images displayed, or it takes the power of WordPress and uses its image cropping methods. MW Adminimize This plugin pares down the page-topping links interface that shows up on every WordPress administration page.

Ajax Edit Comments, the Digg like comment editor written by Ronald Huereca has undergone a significant rewrite. For those that are familiar with the older versions, you’re going to be in for quite the surprise as Ronald has rewritten the plugin from the ground up. The new version contains an updated interface, numerous backend improvements and a redesigned configuration page. One of the biggest changes I noticed with the new version is that you no longer can double click on the comment text to edit it inline. Instead, you click on an Edit link. After clicking the edit link, you’re presented with a screen similar to this one: Another visual change are the buttons/links that appear underneath every comment. The buttons give you access to edit the comment, moderate the comment, mark the comment as spam or deleting the comment. That comment interface looks little like this: In my opinion, […]

Removing Width/Height from the Image Uploader

Reader Vivien writes in: Is there a way to prevent WordPress from inserting the width and the height for images in the new 2.5 media manager? In short, yes, but it requires you to insert some code into your theme’s functions.php file. Fortunately, there is a WordPress filter we can use called image_downsize, which takes in three arguments (a boolean, an attachment ID, and a size string). add_filter('image_downsize', 'my_image_downsize',1,3); All I’m doing in the above filter is setting the filter name, the function to call (my_image_downsize), what priority I want the filter, and how many arguments the function takes. From there, I mimic the function image_downsize in the ‘wp-includes/media.php’ file, but do not return a width or a height. As a result, when the image is sent to the editor, no width or height is present. function my_image_downsize($value = false,$id = 0, $size = "medium") { if ( !wp_attachment_is_image($id) ) […]

Matt Mullenweg and surprise special guest, Andy Peatling of the BuddyPress project stopped by for a one hour live interview on the WordPress Weekly Podcast. Within this interview, a number of questions were answered in regards to WordPress Trademark and logo usage, status updates on Akismet, Bbpress, TalkPress, BuddyPress, WordPress.com, WordPress.org, Theme Repository, Gravatar, the role that Warwick will play within Automattic, an explanation as to how the 2.5 administration redesign became a reality, how much influence do the end users of WordPress have on the development of the project, and last but not least, we discussed the Google Gears implementation into WordPress 2.6.

If you cannot see, the video, please visit this link: Dashboard Widget Manager – Video Plugin Review Today’s WordPress Plugin video review is of Dashboard Widget Manager by Viper007. Video Summary: Dashboard Widget Manager is a great way to customize the WordPress 2.5 dashboard. The plugin is great for multi-author blogs where each author would like a customizable dashboard. Admin can also set a default dashboard setup. The ability to re-order and customize certain dashboard widgets is a very nice feature. If possible, I’d like to see some extra widgets in the future. Pros: Customizing the dashboard is very easy if you are familiar with widgets. Cons: Minor style issues. If you think your WordPress plugin will merit itself to a video review, please get in contact with me via e-mail (ronalfy+wltc @ gmail dot com). Please keep in mind I will not review premium plugins.
