This isn’t really new - but just stumbled on this post in the wp forums and wanted to save the link in case I ever needed it.

WordPress Hack: only registered users can post comments

Slayeroffice has come up with a number of great bookmarklets. Tonight I just noticed that they have one that combines them all. You click the bookmarklet - and then you pick which one you want to use (so instead of having 10 different favlets (for slayeroffice) you have just one but access to them all from that one. Ok, I’m overexplaining. It’s really cool. There. That does it.

slayeroffice - favlet suite

(some fo the favlets included in this is the mouesover DOM inspector, “remove children” (removes elements off a page so you can see how it’s constructed), ruler, resize fonts… and more)

Carthik has started up a tech blog about wordpress: Wordlog.

I’ve seen a few people request the ability to do next/previous posts within the same category. I thought it had already been done and I swear I looked around to see if anyone had, but I didn’t find it. If it has been done, well at least I had fun writing this.

Current Version: v 0.2

So here’s my next/previous post in category plugin:

Shelley posted all her wordpress hacks - and one that I’ve been particularly interested in (and desperately needing) is the in context/full page preview (ie. preview your post - as it would appear on your site - before publishing).

(I still have to read through the rest of that post - I’m sure there’s more I’m going to be doing)

UPDATE There’s been a bit of debate about the need for a central database of plugins. There’s a lot of developers now developing plugins, and it’s quite a task to find them as a user, as well as a developer to see if something you want to do has already been done. In any case - this plugin has apparently already been done by coffee2code.com (with only some minimal differences).

I’ll leave my post up in case it’s still of value to anyone….

Christine asked for a plugin so that she could have a list of recent commenters on her blog (and the list needed to exclude herself) - as well, she wanted a way to show the posts that have been commented on most recently. While the two requests are different, I still put them in one plugin. (I want to note that this plugin was based heavily on the recent comments plugin by mtdewvirus.com)

Current Version: v 1.0

So here’s the plugin - installation and use are pretty simple:

Another find from weblogtoolscollection - This plugin grabs custom content like “moods” and “listening to”.

There’s a few other plugins on that site I want to take note of:

Text Replace Plugin (for making shortcuts - like always having :wp: show up on your site like: WordPress

Category Images - displays an image for each category associated with a post.

This plugin will password protect your entire blog so that only registered viewers can see it.

Looks like there are a ton of scripts on there. Not the easiest interfact to read through, though.

I looked around for a plugin that would automatically set comments to closed after a set number of days. I didn’t find any, but I did find some code at the WordPress wiki that was useful, so I turned it into my own plugin.

It checks for posts to be closed every time the database is updated, so it doesn’t require a cronjob.
