AWSOM News Announcement quickly updated to 1.4.1
Hey everyone, the AWSOM News Announcement plugin for WordPress has been updated to version 1.4.1 and is now available for download from the AWSOM.org website.
This release is a bug fix release that corrects a few things, the biggest being an error in how the plugin upgrades from previous releases. It also corrects an issue that caused multiple displays of the news area in themes that used multiple WordPress loops. Due to these issues it is highly suggested that all users upgrade to this version immediately.
AWSOM News Announcement plugin updated to version 1.4.0
Hello everyone, I’m very excited to announce the release of the new version of the AWSOM News Announcement plugin for WordPress. Version 1.4.0, available at the AWSOM.org website, is a major upgrade to the plugin that adds in multiple news post support, viewer display options per post (so display your news post to everyone, only non-registered visitors, only registered visitors, or any level of registered vistor)–so now you can use the plugin to display ads only to non-registered visitors, or display premium content only to registered visitors. You can now also select to allow Authors or Editors access to the management of your News posts.
Add this to it’s ability to run php code directly in news posts, use the visual editor for news entry, and placement options for pages, posts, index page, or theme code, and you have a full functioning News Announcement/Advertising/Premium Content system.
Happily out of a Mod Job
While most of this site is devoted to my WordPress plugin files, I do actually have a mod out for phpbb2. My Expire Unactivated Users mod is an anti-spam mod that allows the admin to delete all unactivated accounts based on different time frames. Well, recently phpbb3 was released and I’m happy to announce that I’m out of a job. It looks like they must have paid attention to my mod (and the strong need for it) and decided to integrate the functionality directly into the core of phpbb3.
Well, don’t worry, I’m not ditching the mod here since there are still tons of phpbb2 installs out there, but except for maybe a small update it’s mostly done and over. Maybe I’ll go take a vacation…..nah, I’ve got too many things to program for WordPress :)
AWSOM News Announcement 1.4.0 Beta 2 released
The new AWSOM News Announcement 1.4.0 Beta 2 plugin for WordPress is now available for download from the AWSOM.org website. This new version has user level display per news post capability (so you can limit certain posts to be viewed by only registered users or above), Management level selector (so you can allow authors or editors to also administer your news posts), as well as the ability to input customized CSS for your News posts through the admin area.
As the usual blah blah blah this is Beta software so be careful in using it in a live site, but I’m relatively sure it’s stable.
To read more details and other information check out the AWSOM Beta Information page.
AWSOM Archive plugin updated to 1.2.3
The AWSOM Archive plugin for WordPress has been updated to version 1.2.3 and is now available for download from the AWSOM.org website. This version has a fix in place for a conflict with the Share This plugin, and now does not display the Archive on any Share This page (the page shown instead of using the javascript popup interface). If you are not using Shre This you do not need to upgrade to this version.
