I installed a wordpress plugin which is written by a friend: Denis. It returns the related posts by tags.

I want to put it in sidebar. So I added a widget function for this plugin. Also the content filters were commented out so that it won’t borther to filter my post contents everytime since I don’t want to display them in post or feeds.

Although it works fine for me now, there are still some things to be improved:

1. If the number of related posts does not reach to display limit, it should have option to fill with random or most commented posts.
2. The title section really need to be moved out from the main code generate function.
3. Take count of category. The posts in the same category are related.
4. Denis submitted v0.6 to SVN trunk! I wander how he released v0.7 via SVN…

I will send Denis my patch tomorrow. Hopefully he will merge it into next release, and, fix the functions I wanted here.

It was a long time ago when there was a discussion in the wp-hackers list about intergrate OpenID into wordpress. There was suggestion to put it into wordpress core. But there seems to be a final decision from ticket #3616 that it won’t get into core.

That, i think, is partly because of the excellent plugin wp-openid.

Closing as WONTFIX for now. Multiple plugins exist for this functionality. You have also combined the two issues of consuming and serving.

I was waiting for the openid support in wp core until I saw this ticket today. So I installed WP-OpenID right away. It’s a good plugin, though no many option. Support OpenID in commenting is what I wanted for a long time, but I really want to turn off the openid login support – that adds an user in my blog!

Anyway, friends, you can use your openid url to comment on my articles now.
Enjoy!

Multilingual posts - a plugin adds language tags to your posts pages – is updated to version 0.2 now.

Changes includes:

1. Insert css styles which can place a background image in your post indicating your post language
2. You can define language direction in “languages.php”. Once it’s defined, the direction will be added when you specify language tag
3. Changed readme file for bettery display in wordpress plugin directory. Also fixed a problem in readme file.

Since this plugin is hosted in the offical wordpress plugin site, you can always download the latest verion at Plugins Directory.

Enjoy!

I always keep my words, since I am a gentle man , and most importantly, F1 Monaco finished for a long time :-p

This post is about a plugin of wordpress, which is the best blogging system of the world. And I have composed a static page for this plugin: http://www.imluke.net/ideas/mlpost.htm. That should be where you find the usage/download/install instruction of my plugin.

And in this post, I just want to have a brief explanation of the making of this plugin. If you are still interested, read on please.
