A host of plugin updatesA host of plugin updates

Most of my plugins received updates recently, so I figure I’d do a general announcement for those of you that use them.

Image Headlines

The Image Headlines plugin received a few updates one of which was a long-standing problem with bounding-box calculation, leading to text being cut off at the bottom. It’s recommended that, if you used a previous version of this plugin and upgrade to this version, you clear the image cache out following installation. Perhaps in the future I’ll have a button to clear that cache, but for now you’ll need to do it manually. Here’s the release notes for version 2.5:

  • Corrected bounding box problems where the bottom parts of text would be cut off.
  • Preview text is now handled more like what WordPress does for titles to more appropriately match what would actually appear.

Paged Comment Editing

My Paged Comment Editing plugin received a modest upgrade, with the biggest enhancement being new links for simple access to Previous and Next pages. Again, release notes for version 0.3:

  • Enhancement to add ( « Previous | Next » ) links for easier navigation.
  • Change to fix Windows host installs having problem with plugin installation.

Spelling Checker

The Spelling Checker plugin received a minor update to correct the placement of the “Check Spelling” button on the comment editing page.

Thanks

Again, thanks to all of you who use these plugins and provide useful feedback and encouragement. It is certainly appreciated.

Digg!

    I’d just like to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to create these plugins. I have found them very useful and practical as well. Keep up the good work and I look forward to future projects.

    I really appreciate your spell checker plugin, but I am having a slight problem adding it to the comments. I viewed your comments.php and basically copied and pasted the 2 lines into my file, but the button is lining up completely wrong and I have no idea why. Can you provide any assistance on information for this?

    A link to a comments page for my site is http://unf.coldwire.org/archives/2005/03/13/ncaa-tournament-brackets-released/#comments

    See how its off to the left and lower than the submit comment button? I would like to get it aligned properly beside the submit comment button. Any help/ideas please?

    Well, don’t I feel like a freaking idiot.

    It did not occur to me to look at your style.css as well and see that you added #commentform .spellerclass with a float right. I have added that command now and the buttons line up properly together, but for some reason they are on the left side in the opposite order yours are presented in on the right side :)

    Try the following selector in place of the current one you have:

    #commentform #submit, #commentform .spellerclass {

    The problem is both of the buttons must be floated. :)
