AWSOM News Announcement plugin updated to 1.3.3
A news version of the AWSOM News Announcement plugin for WordPress (version 1.3.3) is now available for download from it’s AWSOM.org product page. This new version features a usability upgrade: When an admin or “Manage Options” level user is logged into the site they will see an “Edit News Post” link on the page that will allow them to go directly to the Manage AWSOM News admin page to edit the news post.
AWSOM Pixgallery Beta 3 released
The newest Beta of the upcoming AWSOM Pixgallery version 4.4.4 has been released and is available for download from the Pixgallery product page. This version adds in a very requested feature to allow editing of image captions directly through the single image view page. Admins or users with the “Manage Options” level role capability can now click a link under any image on the single image view page to go directly to the edit captions page for that image. This enhancement makes it much easier to add in captions and update them when needed.
An additional bug fix is also included in this release to correct an issue that had certain themes mis-place the name/caption text on the single image page.
You can get a full rundown on the additions in this Beta version by reading the Beta release information page.
As is usual with Beta software, while I believe this version is stable, please be aware that issues could arise in a production setting and it is best to test this version in a test environment before using live.
Site Update Schedule
I’m sorry for the recent lack of updates but I just got back from doing a Convention appearance at Philcon. It is also Thanksgiving holiday week in the U.S., so that is also making it difficult to get anything done. I’m focusing on getting the 4.4.4 release of AWSOM Pixgallery finished–so posts to the site for the rest of the week might also be light. Things will resume as normal after this week though, with (I hope) a new release of AWSOM News Announcement also.
Thanks,
Harknell

You can read about the new features and known issues on the Beta Information page.
PhpBB: Expire Unactivated Users mod updated to 2.0.1
Staying on the trend toward XHTML compliance, a new version of the AWSOM phpBB mod Expire Unactivated Users by Timeframe is now available. Version 2.0.1 is not a functional change but simply adds in XHTML compliant code to replace non-compliant HTML tags–If you already have 2.0.0 installed and don’t care about XHTML compliance then you don’t need to bother updating.
