Gigs Calendar 0.4.6

Dan — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 06:11:58 +0000

Ok, so in 0.4.5 I added in a security “feature” that would block people without proper security levels from seeing the admin pages. This was a temporary kludgy fix that is probably going to go away sooner rather than later.

The only problem was that it made the plugin a little too secure and blocked all users from using their new installs. This wasn’t a problem related to a specific version of WordPress, only fresh installs of Gigs Calendar 0.4.5. This new version should fix the problem for you and let you gig away happily.

Gigs Calendar 0.4.4

Dan — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 04:41:08 +0000

I’ve just put up a bug fix release. If you upgraded to 0.4.3, you might have noticed that the icons in the calendar list broke suddenly. That was a pretty simple mistake that I made and it should be fixed now. Also, I’ve added Finnish and Spanish translations that two contributors were kind enough to provide.

Gigs Calendar 0.4.3

Dan — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 19:21:25 +0000

I’ve just tagged the 0.4.3 release of Gigs Calendar. This version lets you use the plugin with the FORCE_SSL_ADMIN setting in WordPress. If you have any other favorite bugs that you’d like me to look into, let me know. I’ve got a list of some, but it can’t hurt to remind me.

WordPress 2.7 released and Plugin upgrades

Dan — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:43:11 +0000

WordPress 2.7 was released yesterday and there are a lot of great changes. I’ve been using the beta for some time now, and I can tell you that I really like the new administration panels. The upgrade has been pretty painless for me, but the new side menus made me push out a new version of my plugins.

Both Gigs Calendar and Discography have been updated for the latest version of WordPress. Before 2.7, the best place for the administration pages for my plugins was under “Manage”. In 2.7, that particular section is gone, so I’ve moved them up into their own section and should appear below “Comments” in the side menu. At some point, I may support the drop down menus that the built in menu items have.

The Gigs Calendar update also contains several important bug fixes that had not been in a previous release.

Good luck upgrading!

Discography 0.1.6 – Lightweight Flash Player

Dan — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 04:53:12 +0000

I’ve added an option to the plugin to let you use the lightweight Delicious “playtagger” player on your site. This will be much faster than the default flash player, but will make it much easier for people to download your music. If this is undesirable, stick with the default one.

As always, the new version is up for download on the WordPress.org plugin page.

Discography 0.1.5 – Fixing some dumb code

Dan — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:38:07 +0000

When I was originally hacking this plugin together, I wasn’t sure how to find the address of a page within WordPress, so I had a really dumb solution to get it. Long story short, custom permalink structures simply wouldn’t work with this plugin. That is no longer true! Yay!

Also, I fixed the issue that put a slash before apostrophes in the page titles.

Gigs Calendar 0.4.1 – Bug Fixes

Dan — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 05:02:07 +0000

I’ve just put up a bug fix release for Gigs Calendar. The most important fix is that your settings page should function normally now. Hurrah! Also, if you set it so that users other than your editors could access the gigs calendar, that should be working as expected now.

If your gig is not created for whatever reason (except browser compatibility) it should pop up with a little error message with a few more details. Please don’t hesitate sending me that information if it looks like it’d be helpful in explaining your problem.

I’ve got a list of bugs for future bug fixes, but those will have to wait for the next version. I wanted to get the settings page fix out as soon as possible.

Discograpy 1.4 – Oops.

Dan — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:03:22 +0000

I somehow completely mangled the settings page in Discography 1.3. This release has a fix for that.

Discography 0.1.3 – Minor bug fix, new flash player

Dan — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:00:33 +0000

I finally put out an update for my Discography plugin. I fixed a couple of minor bugs and replaced the flash player. The new player is way less crappy, but just as free. I’ve got some back end structural changes planned for 0.2. If you have any ideas for features that you need/want to see, let me know.

Update: This version has a totally broken settings page. I’ll be putting out a fix very soon. Don’t save your settings if you upgrade to this version.

Gigs Calendar 0.4.0

Dan — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 05:00:24 +0000

I’ve just pushed out the new version of Gigs Calendar. It is available on the official download page. Please report any bugs you find, even if you know they existed in 0.3.3.

New Features

WordPress 2.6 compatibility
New plugin API to allow for greater customization. With this, I (and others) can create one-off customizations of the plugin without having to worry about the changes breaking when I release a new version.
RSS Feed for Gigs (iCal coming soon, probably in 0.5)
Set permission levels for users accessing the plugin.
Interface for using a post’s custom data fields.
A new widget to display details on the next gig.

Those are the biggies. In the next few days, I’ll put up a plugin to demonstrate the API and custom fields functionality.
