Small Anniversary: 500 downloads

Today, my WordPress plugin My Mobypictures has been downloaded 500 times since my first upload to the plugin repository. Not bad for an amateur…

Tip: Multiple widgetized Moby streams

Gilles — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:23:23 +0000

Just found this very cool widget: PHP Code Widget

The normal Text widget allows you to insert arbitrary Text and/or HTML code. This allows that too, but also parses any inserted PHP code and executes it. This makes it easier to migrate to a widget-based theme but the fun part is, together with the Mobypicture plugin it enables you to include multiple Mobypicture streams in your sidebars. Just like I included the public stream.

Install both widgets and then include the same Mobypicture php code you would use to include the a Moby stream in a post or page.

Mobypicture v1.2.2 uploaded

Gilles — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:09:49 +0000

Version 1.2.2 of the Mobypicture plugin has been uploaded to the WordPress Plugin Directory. The reported bug has been fixed. Any combination with ‘Use cropped images’ and/or ‘Use linked images’ selected now works as expected. Secondly, this version has been tested with WordPress v2.8 as well.

Small bug in Mobypicture plugin v1.2.1

Today I received a note via Twitter about little bug in the Mobypicture plugin. It appears that the option ‘Use linked images’ is only working when the option ‘Use cropped image’ is selected as well. I hope to be able to fix this soon. Thanks for letting me know Coen.

Please do not hesitate to report bugs or submit your feature requests either via a comment or Twitter (@Chillez73).

Mobypicture v1.2.1 uploaded

Gilles — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:22:37 +0000

I just uploaded a new version of the Mobypicture plugin to the WordPress Plugin Directory. Version 1.2.1 now allows the usage of an optional PHP string that only retrieves the ‘raw’ images from Mobypicture.com and let the image formatting being set by your theme stylesheet style.css

Note that I decided to change the image class name in the final version 1.2.1 so those of you who installed v1.2.1 beta and upgrade to 1.2.1 will have to make a small change to their style.css

v1.2.1 beta used class ‘img.mobypic’ while v1.2.1 uses class ‘img.mobypicture_raw’. This is more logical as now the PHP string and image class have the same name. (BTW this also counts for the images displayed by the widget and non-raw code, these images have a class=”mobypicture”.) See also plugin installation notes.

Mobypicture v1.2 uploaded

Gilles — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 21:22:19 +0000

I just uploaded a new version of the Mobypicture plugin to the WordPress Plugin Directory. Major enhancements in v1.2 are:

Added group support
Added public timeline support
Added display of Mobypicture image title on mouseover
Added optional use of square images (cropped copy from Mobypicture.com)

Note: v1.2 is not compatible with v1.2 beta code, please replace with new code (see plugin installation notes)

Rewriting the plugin including support for multiple widget instances appeared to be more difficult than anticipated. Therefore I decided to release this version prior version 2.0

Next step will be figuring out to use the API instead of the RSS feed and, of course, add support for multiple widget instances.

Mobypicture plugin v1.2beta

Today I received the request from Mathys whether I could include support for Mobypicture groups in the plugin. I have been toying around in the code and got a working version. I am not yet satisfied about the way I achieved this but hey it is a start. Check it out here.

Plugin download stats

Gilles — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 12:52:11 +0000

It’s been 9 days now since I have uploaded the Mobypicture plugin to the WordPress Plugin Directory. It is fun to see that it is downloaded over 70 times now. Next step will be extending the plugin with a settings page to allow the insertion of a command like [mymobipictures] into a page or post. This will provide a more friendly way to insert the variables (like number of pictures, size, etc.) and eliminate the need for running PHP in a post or on a page.

My Mobypictures plugin v1.1 beta

Gilles — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:52:50 +0000

Yesterday I have extended the plugin with adjustable size of the thumbnails (width & height) and padding (space between thumbnails). Now looking into a checkbox wich will force the widget to use defined set of default values so the plugin will continue to work when only the mobypicture username is filled in. I expect to upload version 1.1 by the end of this week.

Demo new code:
< ?php mobypic_pics($username = chillez73, $num = 6, $width = 70, $height = 100, $padding = 3, $linked = true); ?>
