A day of other peoples code

Support Tickets
I did some pretty fancy tweaking of code today to see if I can replace the support tickets system on ComLuv, the system at the moment isn’t bad but the last support ticket management software I used was far superior and allowed me to reply to closed tickets and create canned responses.
It will need [...]

Time flies!

I usually spend the first part of Sunday doing the weekly books for the takeaway, it takes up most of the morning to go through each days takings and tot it up in an accounts package and check the figures off the parallel sheet. It’s a good system and helps me to know exactly where [...]

Having an issue with dbDelta to add table to wp db (resolved)

I’m having some issues with trying to put the WP-Twitip-ID plugin into the final version.
Right now, the beta version stores the twitter ID in the post meta for each post but that’s not really ideal because it can only show the twitter id on the comments of the post that the user has already commented [...]

Why the hell would anyone use twitter anyway?

The title of this post is the question I asked myself many times.. before I used it myself that is.
For the first months of Twitter being talked about I deliberately kept away from it thinking that ‘micro-blogging’ was a complete waste of time. Who the hell would want to know if I’m going for a [...]

CommentLuv contest should go live tomorrow!

I spent the entire day (minus a 2 hour trip to the haberdashery <- don’t ask!) coding the final pages and scripts for the contest. I have the prizes up and descriptions entered. I was originally going to do 1 gadget per day for a whole month but I neglected to work in how much [...]

New plugin to add snazziness to commentluv links

I had a eureka! moment this morning as I was fighting to stay asleep even though I was busting for a pee, those moments in semi-dream state where if you’re careful you can ‘watch’ the dream happen before you piss your pants.
I get this quite a lot but people I tell don’t seem to (I’m [...]

Some important things to note for Wordpress plugin Authors

I have learned a gadoodle of information over the past 3 weeks of coding the update to CommentLuv and it would have gone a lot smoother had I known these 2 things.
Including jQuery with wp_enqueue_script
This seems to be simple at first but there is an important caveat to note.
You can include the jQuery library manually [...]

CommentLuv Update by popular demand!

Right on the back of the final version 2.1 I have decided to release 2.15 which addresses some things that people have been emailing me about since they upgraded. If you’re not good at upgrading plugins, don’t worry! if your commentluv works for you then you don’t need to update if you don’t want to.
The [...]
