Linked Pages Version 0.2.3 has just been released. This version adds a menu facility which uses the current posts ‘link field’ content to find pages that are also linked to the parent page (allowing a more menu like operation from the widget). The configuration of this feature is available on the widget control panel in the ‘Search For Similar’ section.

As usual, it’s available from the WordPress plugin directory, comments/questions can be left here and the somewhat sparse wiki is available here.

Over the course of last weekend (Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June), I wrote another WordPress plug-in, which I have just released for public consumption in the form of my Linked Pages plug-in. I got a comment about ACFW from a guy called Emerson who wanted to use it generate links from page to page in his site thisintersectionsucks.com.

Turns out ACFW wasn’t the right tool for the job, after trying to find something suitable for him I figured it would be easier to write a plug-in to meet his needs and so my Linked Pages plug-in came into being. I didn’t link to his site on release day as he wasn’t quite ready, but now he is I figured I’d post and let everyone that’s a regular reader know about his site.

I think it’s a great concept and he’s done a great job on it, so pop on over and check it out. I think it’s a really good example of what you can do with platforms like WordPress these days.

Seems my collection of plug-ins is growing…. enter Linked Pages. This was created in response to a user request, but more on that later when he’s finished his site.

Quick update on ACFW Version 1.0… I’ve not stopped development, but unfortunately it does take a back seat when I’m busy and I’ve been really busy lately. Most of the backend is done, including the configuration conversion which handles the pre 1.0 configuration and should handle updates to the configuration gracefully in the future.

All that’s left to do is actually create the tables and forms that are going to be used to manage the configuration. I can’t remember what I’ve posted about features, but it includes it’s own RSS feed reader that looks at the ACFW RSS feed produce by my blog, so you’ll get the latest news about ACFW right there in your WordPress admin pages, along with links to my wiki etc. for easy access to the latest documentation.

By popular demand I have released a slightly modified version of ACFW (in the form of version 0.99) which processes shortcodes that are contained in the generated content. The latest version can of course be downloaded from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

This is a minor bug fix release that addresses an issue when using the content generator that resulted in the linefeeds being mishandled and displayed as ‘n’.

Thanks to Deena for letting me know about this issue.

The latest version, as always, can be downloaded from the WordPress plugin directory.

Time for another update on the progress of version 1.0.0. (more…)

Well, seems like only earlier today that I was announcing that I’m working on ACFW Version 1.0 and here I am posting an update. (more…)

Now I’m holiday for a while, I’m catching up on some of the jobs I’ve been meaning to do. One of those is the next major release of my Advanced Custom Field Widget for WordPress. (more…)

Version 0.97 of ACFW has been released. This is a fix for the plugin directory issue that has prevented new versions being recognised by the directory and consequently users blogs.

Download the latest version from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
