This post has not been updated yet, but I just wanted to show you how WP Update Message works. This is an update message box.

What is this?

Add a short note about the latest changes in the current post or page. Activate it and it work instantly. All the settings are optional.

Info and download

wp-admin – Update message box

This box is placed when editing a post or a page.

wp-admin – Settings / Options

If you are not sure about a setting, just leave it and it will use the default value.

Settings explained

Published date format

The date the post or page was published for the first time. It uses the same parameters as PHP date. For example, to display a date like this ”2009-07-12, 18:10″ would look like this:

Y-m-d, H:i

Updated date format

The date the post or page was updated last. It uses the same parameters as PHP date. For example, to display a date like this ”2009-07-12, 18:10″ would look like this:

Y-m-d, H:i

Position

Where the update message box should be placed. You can choose by top, bottom, both or none.

Free position

If you don’t want to place the update message box by the predefined positions you can place it on your own. Select ”none” as position above. Then use the code below in your template:

<?php update_message_box(); ?>

It works only inside the loop.

HTML

If you want the box to look different you can write your own HTML. These will be replaced in the HTML code in your post / page:

• %pd% = Published date
• %ud% = Updated date
• %ut% = Updated text

New row replacement

Even if a new row is inserted in HTML, it will not be displayed as a new row.

The default way to solve this is to close the paragraph-tag and start a new one when a new rows accurs. Another way could be to use ”<br />” instead. It’s your choice.

Style themes

You don’t have to be a programmer to use WP Update Message. There are themes to choose from. Hopefully some of them will fit your site.

If you want to style the update message box yourself, just set style theme to ”none” and add the style data into your theme style.css.

Save settings

Save your settings into the database. If you don’t save anything WP Update Message will use all the default values.

Delete settings

It removes the saved settings from the database. You can use it if you want to remove this plugin.

Style themes to choose from

The CSS style themes below are included from start and are available in wp-admin->Settings->Update message.

Version 0.5 released. Mostly bug fixes.

I made a paging navigation plugin for WordPress that will be an alternative to the ”Next page” and ”Previous page”. Instead it uses numbers which makes it easier for users to choose what page to go to. It also makes a tighter internal link structure which makes it easier for search engines to find your posts.

Info and download

• Birth date: 2008-03-29
• Last updated: 2009-07-05
• Version: 0.5
• Tested with: 2.3-2.8
• Download: WP Page Numbers
• Other versions: WP Page Numbers

Themes to choose from

All the 5 themes are included from start and are available in admin.

Screenshot

This is what it looks like if you don’t change anything (default paging theme):

You can also try it out as a live demo at the bottom of my blog.

Options

• You can set all the texts and arrows to what ever you want
• You can limit the number of pages shown at the time
• You can create paging stylesheets themes (if you don’t want to overwrite the default theme)
• You can turn off the stylesheet
• You can turn off the page information (page 3 of 5)
• You can turn off the page numbers
• You can turn off the first and end page numbers
• You can turn off the arrows

Updates 0.3 – 0.5

• Fixed bug with page numbers disappearing
• Added optional start and end code link wp_page_numbers($start, $end)
• Changed get_blog_info(url) to get_blog_info(wpurl)
• Changed get_settings (deprecated) to get_blog_info (bugfix)
• Added missing echos, which should fix the URLs to the preview images in admin
• Fixed 0 … 1 problem by checking if the page is front page or archive

Updates 0.2

• Put some ”reset”-code into the themes stylesheet to make the navigation bar look correct in all themes
• 5 WP Page Numbers themes to choose from
• Some layout changes in admin

Install

1. Upload the FOLDER ‘wp-page-numbers’ to the /wp-content/plugins/
2. Activate the plugin ‘WP Page Numbers’ through the ‘Plugins’ menu in admin
3. Go to ‘Options’ or ‘Settings’ and then ‘WP Page Numbers’ to change the options

Usage

1. Replace the the ‘next_posts_link()’ and ‘previous_posts_link()’ with the code below in theme (archive.php, index.php or search.php). If you can’t find it, place it between endwhile; and endif; in your theme.

2. <?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) { wp_page_numbers(); } ?>

Advanced usage

This plugin uses only WordPress own string values, no own SQL-querys is written. That means that you can use this plugin for more advanced use.

Example: You have a page which contains the query_posts() function and a loop to get some posts into the page. In that case you can use WP Page Numbers (see usage). If the posts are less than what is set in admin, the navigation will be hidden.

History

Why did I make this? I’m developing a video-site when this is written and got tired of pasting and editing the embed code. After about 30 posted YouTube-videos I wanted to change the width of the site and there by the width of every movie-clip. What if I could do that in just one place, in one simple setting? I made a plugin to manage that. I figured that my plugin could be used for more than just change the width and height. YouTube videos have support for colors and borders and I brought that into the plugin as well.

• Download older versions of this plugin at WordPress – WP YouTube

Known bugs

• Calling a stylesheet that does not exists (most users don’t even notice)
• Autoplay don’t work if ”Valid XHTML code” is not set
