Cool! :-) Thats the main purpose of it :) But i'm planning on basing a few small modules off it, I'm sick of building a dozen tiny plugins for random uses which might only be used once, I wanted something i could just add it as a seperate module which would hopefully be of use to someone else in some form :) - BTW, I updated your core plugin this morning, and now the front page is blank.

Got any thoughts on other modules which would be helpful to plugin developers? You might put in a module that shows everything in the wp-cron and allows the user to run them with a button. A sort of stripped-down crontrol. You could also put in something that shows the wp-rewrite info and/or the mod_rewrite stuff that WP writes to .htaccess As for existing one-liner plugins, how about... Toggle post revisions and autosave: http://exper.3drecursions.com/2008/07/25/disable-revisions-and-autosave-plugin/ At any rate, you might set your plugin up so that third-party devs can make modules. That probably includes making a module folder *outside* of your plugin's folder, so the third-party modules are not overwritten on auto-update. (I really wish WordPress would figure out a standard for such things -- there are a lot of plugins that allows third-party add-on files.)

[wp-testers] Theme see details link is wrong
Hi -- In WP 2.7 -- one of my themes has an update available, but the link to go to the page is wrong. Under the theme Barthelme I have this message: There is a new version of available. _View version Details_ automatic upgrade unavailable for this theme. So... two things -- 1. The grammar of the message needs a fix (or at least one more period), and 2. The details link is actually the theme preview link Stephen ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
[wp-testers] Spamming comment from email very slow (2.7)
Hey folks, I've come across a rather consistent problem with the 2.7 Admin when marking a comment as spam (or approving or deleting it) from the Spam it link in a notification email. It takes upwards of 45-50 seconds to accomplish once the comment is marked as spam from the resulting admin page to where the comment ends up in the spam queue. However, if I spam a comment from the admin's comment page rather than the admin page launched by the Spam it link in the email, it only takes a few seconds to accomplish the same task. Any ideas why this may be occuring? The rest of the 2.7 admin runs nice and quick even without Gears enabled (I'm using Firefox 3.1 builds--not compatible with Google Gears yet). I've tested this with other browsers set as default and it's the same thing. ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
[wp-testers] wp_schedule_single_event() acting funny
Hello, new to this list. I was working on a plugin using wp_cron and I noticed some strange behaviour when using wp_schedule_single_event(). I've written this test plugin: http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1298571 If I set it to a time in the past, like wp_schedule_single_event(time(), CRON_HOOK); it fires twice on every page load. If I set it in the future, say wp_schedule_single_event(time()+15, CRON_HOOK); it just fires once, even if I clear the hook first. Any ideas? I'm using WP 2.7.1-alpha-10188 on localhost (Ubuntu 8.10 + LAMP). -- http://scribu.net ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers

2009/1/3 Stephen Rider wp-hack...@striderweb.com: I'm quite sure something changed with WP 2.7. This all worked before -- I didn't change MAMP, but I did upgrade WP. Though again, it *was* working with WP 2.7 betas, so maybe something else on my computer is screwy The orders of the transports may've been changed, Theres 5 HTTP transports as you can see, I think one of them was higher than cURL at one point, so curl probably wasnt used.. It could also be that the code that was working before hadnt been converted to the new HTTP API when you were testing.. It's a pretty precise 50%. Update checking worked (seemingly) normally, but actual updates failed every time. Since it works half the time, and only on specific requests, It sounds like its having problem with the request being made, It might be that it doesnt like binary data, or a hostname.. Whilst that may sound stupid.. well.. it is stupid.. BTW, I updated your core plugin this morning, and now the front page is blank. (The one that lets me turn modules on/off.) Grrr. I commited what i had to SVN last night, Turns out the WordPress.org packer decided that it'd offer that update to everyone (even though it has no readme.txt).. The actual problem is the 'inc' folder got deleted, The WordPress.org plugin packer doesnt include svn:externals, http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8611 which is a major anoyance to me.. I like the idea of having a common svn:external i can rely upon.. (Hmm.. Maybe it just doesnt like non-wordpress.org externals? Maybe i should try that..) You can create a folder 'inc' and add this file to it: http://svn.dd32.id.au/wp-plugin-dd32-common-class/class.dd32.php to get it working again if you wish :) You might put in a module that shows everything in the wp-cron and allows the user to run them with a button. A sort of stripped-down crontrol. Sounds good to me :) Never thought of cron You could also put in something that shows the wp-rewrite info and/or the mod_rewrite stuff that WP writes to .htaccess Could be useful too, Thanks :) As for existing one-liner plugins, how about... Toggle post revisions and autosave: http://exper.3drecursions.com/2008/07/25/disable-revisions-and-autosave-plugin/ I was toying with the idea of if i should rewrite 'Revision Control': http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/revision-control/ to be a module (I've got to rewrite it eitherway), but think i'll leave that as a separate plugin, its not really aimed at developers.. I might include a striped down version though. At any rate, you might set your plugin up so that third-party devs can make modules. That probably includes making a module folder *outside* of your plugin's folder, so the third-party modules are not overwritten on auto-update. (I really wish WordPress would figure out a standard for such things -- there are a lot of plugins that allows third-party add-on files.) Yeah.. I'm supposed to be rewriting part of the plugin upgrader for trunk right now.. i was going to work something like that in.. but.. its difficult for plugins which were not automatically upgraded/installed, the upgrader changes the foldername to the wordpress.org slug, ie. 'dd32-revision-control' now becomes 'revision-control', and it'd have to manually move the files it was told not to delete into the new folder in the right place, etc..
