WordPress Plugins I Will Write When I Have Time

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

I’ve been thinking of several plugins I want to write, but don’t currently have time. My time should be focused on the Google Summer of Code project and bringing the rest of my sites up since they’ve been down.

What I have so far:

  1. Feed Statistics – A feed plugin that tracks the statistics of the feed. A hosted version of FeedBurner with minimal feature set.
  2. Automatic Post Queue – Tracks the current upcoming posts and sends the posts to the future, so that no more than a certain amount is posted per day without manually checking.

There are several plugins I have written so far that need to be revisited. The Swift Mailer needs to be looked at and fixed. The Swift Mailer needs to have localization added, as well as other enhancements to the attachment handling. The administration is still broken and needs to be fixed.

There is also the WordPress Performance Testing Plugin, that needs to be extended in its feature set as well. I’m going to focus some more on this after the Google Summer of Code is over. I’m looking forward to using it in my own development.

I think that in September, I’m going to work on my plugins and develop the above plugins. I also want to create a theme for this site and buy several themes for absidongames.com and dragonu.net. I want to finish those sites up and hopefully get them going to where I don’t need to maintain them very often. Just add content.

WordPress Plugin: Increase Memory Limit

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

This plugin tries to increase the memory limit on hosts with low memory settings. It will only work if the below requirements are met. If the attempt fails, then nothing will happen and no notices or errors will happen. If the attempt to increase the memory succeeds, then your problems for memory limit should go away.

This will plugin will not help you during install, because plugins are not included and ran during the installation and upgrade process.

To Do

Right now there is no way to change the default increase to 32MB, in the future, I want to include settings that allow this. The reasons are that, most applications and blogs will work fine with the current 32MB, but some larger hosts will need more. The only way to change the setting is to change the plugin code. I think having a options page would be better.

The second part is to include a section that tests whether the plugin will even work and then disable it, if it can’t.

Requirements

  • PHP 4.2+
  • WordPress 2.0+
  • –enable-memory-limit to be used during the install. Some hosts do not allow this and future versions of this plugin will let you know if it isn’t allowed.
  • ini_set() not be in the disable_functions list.

Instructions

  1. Upload to your WordPress Plugins Folder
  2. Activate

There are no options and to uninstall, just disable the plugin.

Download

Notes

At some point, I will need to find a dedicated place for my plugins and where I can offer real support. For now just leave a comment and I’ll answer your support questions here.

Second WordPress Plugin: Default Timezone 1.0

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

This plugin is really simple and aims to fix the problem where WordPress doesn’t support setting the default timezone for PHP 5.1+. This plugin, once activated will set the default timezone to GMT. The reason for this is because WordPress does a lot of calculations based off of that offset. It is better to have GMT time in WordPress at this point.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.1+
  • WordPress 2.0+

Instructions

  1. Upload to your WordPress Plugins Folder
  2. Activate

There are no options and to uninstall, just disable the plugin.

Download

DragonU Default Timezone
