Restricted categories. I’ve found plugins that restrict individual entries, but I want a whole category restricted. I want to be able to display a message to an unregistered viewer who doesn’t have permissions to view – something I can quickly change to say whatever I want to indicate that the post is restricted. Or I can hide the entry completely.
Entry is given based on user level.
Having different levels would be cool, but right now I just need one restricted category.
Sticky posts, per category. This would allow important announcements (like a big site redesign) to be the first displayed item, or it would allow a more general ‘about this category’ description to be given.
Not essential by any means, but certainly very useful, especially if the importance can be set to either ‘forever’ or a range of dates.
(thanks for all the WP code snippets BTW – they really help kick me along at times !)

Works like this:
I click the link to the plugin, and get taken to a screen with a world map.
My location is marked with a red dot
The location of the last 10 (or so) visitors is marked with a white dot.
Problem may be nailing the visitors IP down, but even if it was country wide, maybe that would be good enough – say have “The countries this site has been hit by” type thing.
This make any sense whatsoever ?
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
Thats a nice idea. I will have to look into that!

A GeoURL type thing ?

We have lots of counters we can use, but nothing yet that counts the number of times the feeds have been hit.
How about something there ?
