A reminder of why Beta software is called that
I just wanted to let everyone know that the AWSOM Pixgallery 4.4.4 Beta has an issue in regard to one of it’s new features: Custom Gallery thumbnail images. Basically I didn’t add in the correct code to enable this properly, so if you use the “pxggalleryimage” image file name using the same image type (jpg, png, gif) in multiple folders you will get the same image as the thumbnail in all of them. (but, if you use 3 different file types, one gif, one png, and one jpg you will get different images and it will work right for 3 folders).
DOH! I left out the code to select the correct image for each folder to be different. Nothing else is affected though, so if you weren’t trying to use this feature there aren’t any issues and you won’t have any thumbnail problems. So hold off on using this feature (unless you only want to set 1-3 folders with custom images) until I get the corrected code into a new Beta. I’ll post here when it’s updated.
Sorry about that, just another reminder of how Beta means exactly what it is, unfinished.
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.
AWSOM Pixgallery Beta release 2 now available
A new Beta release of AWSOM Pixgallery 4.4.4 is now available for download from the AWSOM Pixgallery Product Page. This release adds in a few new features and bug fixes–most notably the new “limit thumbnails visible in posts on the index page” feature and the custom folder image feature. You can read about the new features and known issues on the Beta Information page.
