Gallery2 plugin 2

ludo, Saturday 24 June 2006

Yesterday I committed the new Gallery plugin by Sergi March that supports embedding Gallery2 images in Lightpress. The plugin is contained in the latest nightly. Thanks Sergi!

Those of you waiting for a stable 2.0 release can go ahead and download the nightly archive, as the only thing I expect to change before 2.0 is the installation instructions, as the fine folks at WeblogsSL have helped spot and fix quite a few bugs, and the WP2.x compatible code now seems stabler than previous versions.

LP Stats plugin 6

ludo, Friday 19 August 2005

A couple of months ago, Jerome wrote a quick and dirty WP plugin to display the data logged to MySQL from our Stats plugin. We never got around to release it, always hoping to find the time to add some extra functionality. As time is always short, and lp-stats may be useful to some of you, I have decided to release it while Jerome is on vacation. :) It's not even an alpha release, but I have been using it for quite some time without any problems.

Plugin Fun Pack 1.0 2

jerome, Monday 25 July 2005

In response to ru's questions in the forum, I've put together a mini plugin pack which includes the following:

  • HomePage -- Simple plugin to replace the default view with a page (static context) of your choosing.

  • PageTemplates -- Updated from the beta version I've been using on my personal site, this mimics WordPress' ability to allow you to use different templates for pages. Instead of using the default

    static.xml

    template, it will use an xml template of your choosing. The template can be specified using a meta value or you can use your old WordPress template names (make sure you create an xml LP version though!).

  • TemplateInclude -- Allows you to include one or more custom templates, similar to the way that the built-in header.xml, footer.xml and sidebar.xml templates are included. No batteries required.

It's highly likely that these will make it into the next release unless they cause somebody's website to catch on fire.

Del.icio.us plugin 7

ludo, Tuesday 10 May 2005

To encourage (read: bribe) Ramin to switch his blog to LP, I have spent a few hours developing a del.icio.us plugin. To keep it light and reduce dependencies to a minimum, it only uses the base PEAR class, and the native PHP expat functions.

I have just added it (and its template) to the repository, it should show up in viewCVS soon. If you give it a try, let me know if it works in your setup. And if you need new plugins to emulate some functionality of WP you are using in your blog, just ask.
