Hot in the heels of our own WordPress Plugin Competition (of which the results should be declared very soon), the folks at WPMU.org are running a WordPress MU plugin competition! The competition is already very much underway, with almost US$1500 worth of prizes already pledged and 8 great plugins submitted, ranging from XML-RPC add ons to simple domain mapping. And there’s still a month to go (entries close September 24th), so get your MU hats on and submit your best and brightest! The process is much the same as at Weblog Tools Collection. Plugin authors can register at the site and write up their own plugins for publication, guidelines and more on that can be found here. Then there will be prizes (and some rather snazzy badges) for judged and peoples choice winners and ranking entries. If you’re interested in adding to the prize pool, Andrew and James would love […]

There is a much better way of including template tags in your themes, which ensures that PHP errors do not occur when you disable plugins and do not remove them from your themes: <?php if ( function_exists(‘plugin_template_tag_function’) ) : ?> <h2>Section Header</h2> <?php plugin_template_tag_function(); ?> <?php endif; ?> The if condition in the above code ensures that the function you want to use is registered, before the code is executed.

It works with the WordPress iPhone application by placing the copied data to a shared location in the iPhone memory which is then accessed by other applications. The application was released on GeekBrief.tv (who were at WordCamp Dallas and are WordPress aficionados) and seems to be getting a good response. Anyone test it out yet? [EDIT] As pointed out by Jason in the comments, OpenClip is not an application by itself but a framework that can be used by iPhone app developers to add the copy and paste functionality to their applications. OpenClip will only support copying and pasting of text between applications that support the OpenClip framework.
