unaligned code

…another update to fix a bug. The following version could come with a little bit of ajax support. Maybe.
In the meantime, the change log:

* 1.7.7: This version should fix the support for UTF8 characters as experienced in the settings page (thanks to Chrille for pointing the bug out). Please give me confirmation on this if you care. There is nothing else.

Download Stray random Quotes 1.7.7. here

As often happens I forgot to announce that a new version of stray random quotes was out. In case you have missed it, here: 1.7.6
Here’s the changelog:

Added: ability to manually reset the index of the quotes if the numbers get too high (on the help page). Added: an overriding HTML element to put before the source when there is no author (on the settings page). Fixed: it is now impossible for group names to have spaces in them– because it made things wacky (on the new and manage pages). If you do have spaces in the names of any of your groups, upon activation this version will replace them with dashes (don’t worry about it, everything else will be untouched). Changed: when all the quotes are rendered on a post or a page, only the bottom navigation links will be present. I think the above ones were redundant. If you want them back, uncomment the line 304 in the file stray_functions.php. Changed: Now the user can choose whether after inserting a new quote the values should persist in the form or not (settings page)(thanks to AgentSmith for pointing this out). Fixed: titles of the pages are a little more explicative. Fixed: when switching how many quotes to show per page, the page number is reset to 1 to avoid false ‘”no quotes yet” messages (manage page). Fixed: few more little things.

is out and should be okay. Get it here or here.

new version, bug should be fixed, hopefully, etc.

…I just discovered it contains a nasty bug. I could tell you not to download it, but truth is the bug probably goes back to the previous versions as well. What you should do is the following: do NOT sort the table in the manage page, after you have edited a quote. the edited quote would be deleted and only a backup of the database could save it. I will solve this soon (damn). Thanks

…always at the same place. This one should be a good one, I think.

…available. You can find it, as usually, here.

..is out. It is almost entirely new, I hope you like it. You can find it here, or here.

This post is just to announce that I’m almost done working on the new 1.7 version of this plugin, which will indeed have new features. In the screenshot above you can see the new extra-sophisticated management area. And yes, it will be possible to assign the quotes to different groups and have different widgets for any group. Soon…

this one should work with WP 2.7. I think I fixed the ‘edit’ and ‘delete’ links for reals now. I haven’t done anything about the widget problem someone brought up because, well, with the default template the widget seems to work fine, so I wouldn’t know.

About Lighter Menus. Why there is no 2.7 compatible version yet? Because I am not sure it is needed! I have to use WP2.7 a bit to see where and how the menus can be enhanced. Are we sure we want the exactly the way they were before? I am not sure, only a bit of using will tell. If I’ll ever have the time or the ability, that is. Merry Christmas.
