Reaction Buttons and WordPress 3

Jakob — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 07:37:14 +0000

Just made small changes to Reaction Buttons and tested them on a WordPress3 rc3 blog. New features will be in version 1.1.

Download the current version directly through the plugins menu or from wordpress.org.

Exclude categories in Reaction Buttons

Jakob — Mon, 10 May 2010 19:03:57 +0000

I found some time to check my todo list for reaction buttons and found an old entry about the possibility to exclude posts from a certain category from displaying the Reaction Buttons. Well, now that entry is gone. Grab the new version through the plugin interface within wordpress or download it from wordpress.org.

Widget support for Reaction Buttons

Jakob — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:16:42 +0000

I just uploaded a new version of Reaction Buttons, which features a widget now. In that widget you can show the top x posts with the most clicks for each button.

Coding took less time than putting the new version online, since there are a lot of places where you can set a version and they are parsed directly out of svn by some wordpress magic script. I tagged the new release properly in the svn repository and added the version nubmer as stable in the parsed readme.txt. But I forgot to change the version in the main .php file, which seems to be important too. Thanks to #wordpress on irc.freenode.net for pointing that out.

Download from wordpress.org or directly through the install/update function of wordpress.

New Reaction Buttons version

Yesterday I finally found some time to include cookies into reaction buttons, so that you could push every button only once. Sure, It’s quite easy to circumvent, but without authentication it’s not possible to prevent that. And authenticating before using the buttons would be against their primary idea.

Download from wordpress.org or directly through the update function of wordpress.

Reaction Buttons on the wordpress plugin site

Jakob — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 07:38:52 +0000

My Reaction Buttons plugin got accepted on the wordpress plugin site. Yeah! I guess thats not too hard, but I’m happy about it anyways. Now you can install Reaction Buttons right out of your wordpress blog, without the hassle of downloading and uploading it to your blog.

Next hing to do is make some colors configurable through the admin menu. Or is CSS enough? Not sure yet.

WordPress Plugin: Reaction Buttons

Jakob — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:21:39 +0000

I finally found time last weekend to try to build my first wordpress plugin. I stumbled across a Blog at bloggers with an interesting little feature: There were a couple of buttons below the post to express your reactions to the post, like “interesting” or “cool”. Since I always like to interact with my readers, especially on my blogs which cover a certain topic, it’s always nice to find ways to make it easier for your readers.

But I couldn’t find a plugin which does that on wordpress and well, long story short, here it is: Reaction Buttons. You can check it out on this very blog and on the screenshot of a clean german wordpress installation below.

Moved from Serendipity to WordPress

Jakob — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:17:13 +0000

I just decided that my Serendipity, as much as I liked it in the past, got a bit dusty. That was my fault I guess, but since I write in other blogs with wordpress too, I decided to switch. It was quite easy actually. You don’t really have to mention the installation and the import of the old articles was quite easy too, thanks to this import tool.

Articles before today may look a bit weird, but the important stuff should be accessible. Too bad I’ll lose my google entries, but well, its not as if I would try to make money here. I’ll have to find some theme though and setup plugins. But not now, I’ll see in a couple of days.
